My 2008 mercury mariner keeps dying on me anytime Im going over 50 or 60 miles an hour. Its starts chugging and jerkimg then all the lights come on I rapidly lose speed and power then I have to coast off the highway or road to pull over to the side but then it starts right back up again. I just had both manifolds and the catalytic converter changed and fixed and its still doing it. And someone said I have to get my mass air flow sensor cleaned off but im at my wits end with it. I just bough this car a week ago! Dec 05, 2024

Loved it. I put it on a car carrier and the carrier was in an accident. I want another Mariner but doubt I will ever be able to buy another one. Sep 24, 2023

I only have 54000 miles. Its Tranmission is skipping, and leaking oil. I had the oil changed when I was suppose to . Had the brakes replaced on the front. I keep it in the garage. I dont drive it much. Bought it brand new. I baby it. Its a 2008. It is still going. You really cant tell it leaks.. But you can feel the transmission slipping. I just want to cry..Jul 05, 2023
