4.6 V8 Awd - No Reserve - Needs Some Work - Luxury Ford Explorer - 3rd Row Seats on 2040-cars
South Orange, New Jersey, United States
Selling my 2002 Mercury Mountaineer AWD with a 4.6 v8 engine (the good model). Timing chain is loose and will need to be fixed/replaced to make the truck drivable again. Great opportunity for someone that is mechanically inclined or knows a good mechanic since the repair cost is mostly just labor. Engine ran smooth before the chain issue, transmission would sometimes shift hard into second but was smooth other than that. This is the 4.6 v8 engine which is far superior to infamous Ford 4.0 v6 that came in most of the 2002 Ford Explorers and Mercury Mountaineers.
Cosmetically this truck is in good shape minus your regular wear for it's age. There is small crack in the front left fender, small rust line over the rear lift wheel, and a small dent in the rear left bumper which are all clearly pictured below. Interior is pretty nice, leather is in good shape the than a 4 inch tear on the bottom of the drivers seat neat the power adjustment controls. The DVD entertainment system stopped powering on after a red wire from the fuse panel got disconnected, should be an easy fix but the DVD system does work. I have a clean clear title free of any liens in hand and ready for transfer, place your bid or make me an offer!

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

Has the Mercury Marauder gotten better with age?
Fri, Oct 23 2015In the early 2000s Mercury desperately wanted to develop some edge for its brand – seemingly stuck between a quasi-premium, quasi-performance space in the Ford Universe. The Marauder is perhaps the most famous of the vehicles that resulted from those efforts, and is rapidly approaching Modern Classic status, today. Effectively a murdered out Grand Marquis with some updated trim pieces – what are company parts bins for, if not raiding? – the Marauder looked convincingly like a bad guy car. The 4.6-liter V8 under its hood that had been breathed on by engineers for a little more power, kicking out 302 horsepower and 318 pound-feet of torque from the factory. Not exactly Ferrari-baiting numbers, but it'd give your local cop's car a run for its money. Being a wild child of the last decade, of course our friends at MotorWeek had it on the program. What better way to test your mean-mugging muscle sedan than with John Davis' tanned and steady hands?
