2010 MERCURY MARINER Fuel/propulsion System Problems

Engine light came on after putting fuel in my car it is hapless the codes read emission and fuel issues to replace cap but it is hapless it says it's an issue that needs to be fixed now my engine light won't go off

My vehicle keeps throwing codes for the EVAP system. I have noticed many of these vehicles have to have their Purge Valve Cannister replaced along with the selenoid for it. I have to replace mine. Is that not a defect if the vehicle? I have owned several vehicles and never had this issue with any of them.

I bought a 2010 Mercury Mariner on June 22, 2023 from a local dealer. There are several recalls associated with the make and model of the vehicle, but they do not appear to be associated with the VIN on my vehicle. However, the recalls on the vehicle appear to be affecting my vehicle and there is a warning on the dashboard of my car about the fuel system which is one of the recalls on the vehicle. Fuel Delivery System is causing issues in my vehicle.

I recently purchase 2010 Mercury Mariner. There is a few errors appearing on the screen in front of the steering wheel. One of the error is "CHECK FUEL LINES." It also has an error about the tire pressure sensor. It also rides roughly, but the wheels are like new, so it feels like the suspension or shocks have something wrong with them. Also, there is a lot of play in the steering wheel when driving it. When I went to check on the recalls in the system by putting in my VIN, it shows that there are no recalls on my vehicle. However, these errors and issues are connected to the recalls for my vehicle. I am sure that these recalls have not been taken care of for this vehicle and they need to be fixed.

My vehicle has been running out of gas extremely quick. It also leaks underneath when I am pumping gas into the Mariner. I am having a loud thunking sound underneath the vehicle an when I let off the accelerator, my car slowly comes to a hault. My power steering went out one day also without warning. I can't figure the problem out except I seen a recall for the power steering module or some sort that has malfunctioned an causes the computer to erase the power steering sensor completely clean of it's existence. Please help!

THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT A STOPLIGHT. THE LIGHT HAD TURNED GREEN, AND THE VEHICLE WAS BREAKING TO STOP BEHIND THE FIRST VEHICLE. I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL TO FOLLOW THE FIRST VEHICLE AND THE CAR STALLED. THE CAR COULD NOT BE TURNED BACK ON OR PUT IN MOTION. THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM PRIOR TO THIS THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. THE CAR WAS PUSHED OFF THE ROAD BY 3 PEOPLE AND INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT. THE PROBLEM THAT MADE THE VEHICLE UNSAFE WAS A DEFECTIVE FORD THROTTLE BODY. THE REFERENCE CONSUMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM 13N03. I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE JUNE 2014, BUT FORD ONLY SUGGESTED A RECALIBRATION (NOT REPLACEMENT). THE RECALIBRATION WAS COMPLETED AT FORD AUTONATION ON JUNE 23, 2014. FORD HAD ESTIMATED A THROTTLE BODY REDUCTION IN MOVABILITY AND NOT FAILURE. THE MILEAGE OF THIS MERCURY MARINER ON THE DATE OF REPAIR WAS 142551 AND THE IN-SERVICE DATE, 06/18/2010. THEREFORE, THE REIMBURSEMENT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER FORD'S EXTENDED WARRANTY OF 150000 MILES/10 YEARS. THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETED 06/08/2020. TEN DAYS PRIOR TO THE EXPIRATION OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. FORD CLAIMS THEY WILL NOT REIMBURSE FOR THE THROTTLE BODY FAILURE. THIS WAS WELL-DOCUMENTED IN THE PREVIOUS CLAIM 13N03 AND THIS CASE SHOULD BE REOPENED, BASED ON THE FATALITY POSSIBILITY OF A THROTTLE BODY FAILURE WITH THE ORIGINAL PART THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE, WHICH WAS ALSO RE-CALIBRATED PER FORD'S RECALL IN 2014. THIS INCIDENT PROVES THAT FORD'S RE-CALIBRATION DID NOT PREVENT FAILURE OF THE THROTTLE BODY. ASKING FOR A RECALL FOR THE THROTTLE BODY FOR THE SIMILAR MAKES AND MODELS STILL IN CIRCULATION AS IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD AND ALSO REIMBURSEMENT FOR THIS SERVICE FOR VEHICLES THAT HAD IT COMPLETED. *TR

AFTER RECEIVING FORD'S RECALL NOTICE 16S41/16V-777 (FUEL DELIVERY MODULE POTENTIAL LEAK), MY HUSBAND & I TOOK OUR 2010 MERCURY MARINER TO LEBANON FORD TO PERFORM RECALL "REPAIR". WE WERE NOT HAVING AN ISSUE WITH THE MARINER, BUT WE WERE FOLLOWING FORD'S INSTRUCTIONS (VIA THEIR MAILED RECALL NOTICE TO US) TO HAVE THE RECALL DONE. NOW, OUR MARINER IS MESSED UP! IT NOW WON'T START WITHOUT A DELAYED CRANK (WE HAVE VIDEO RECORDINGS OF HOW LONG IT NOW TAKES FOR OUR MARINER TO START!) & SOMETIMES WHILE DRIVING, THE MARINER JERKS (BOTH PROBLEMS SEEM TO BE AS THOUGH THE CAR IS NOT GETTING FUEL). WE MADE A 2ND TRIP TO LEBANON FORD AFTER INFORMING THEM OF THE ISSUE THEY CREATED, BUT THEY DID NOT FIX THE DELAYED CRANK ISSUE OR THE CAR JERKING ISSUE! LEBANON FORD SERVICE IS STATING THEY CAN ONLY PERFORM THE RECALL REPAIR "ACCORDING TO FORD'S GUIDELINES". MY HUSBAND ASKED LEBANON FORD IF THE OLD PARTS COULD BE PUT BACK ON, BUT LEBANON FORD SAID THEY HAD TO SEND BACK THE OLD PARTS TO THE MANUFACTURER. SO, NOW OUR ONCE NICE MARINER HAS SIGNIFICANT ISSUES BECAUSE WE HAD A RECALL "REPAIR" DONE! WE REGRET HAVING THE RECALL ADDRESSED! PRIOR TO THE RECALL "REPAIR", WE HAD A NICE MARINER WITH UNDER 60K MILES. NOW, WE HAVE A MARINER WITH PROBLEMS DUE TO RECALL. IT'S NOT A REPAIR! IT'S DAMAGE! FURTHER, THEY'RE NOT OFFERING US ANY FIX TO THE DAMAGE FORD DID TO OUR CAR.

VEHICLE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY (ETB) WAS REPLACED AT VETERANS FORD DEALERSHIP IN TAMPA, FL DUE TO THIS PART SEVERELY EFFECTING ABILITY OF THE VEHICLE TO RUN PROPERLY (SEVERAL TIMES). CUSTOMER PAID FOR THIS REPAIR. SOMETIME AFTER 3/4/14 WHEN NHTSA COMPLETED THEIR INVESTIGATION, WE RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT FORD WAS REPLACING THIS ITEM. SINCE WE ALREADY PAID FOR THE REPAIR ($381.32) AT A FORD DEALERSHIP, WE TRIED TO GET THE REIMBURSEMENT THAT FORD OWES US. WE WERE INFORMED WE HAD TO HAVE THE ORIGINAL RECEIPT, WHICH TO THIS DAY IS STILL PACKED UP IN STORAGE IF WE HAVE IT AT ALL BECAUSE WE MOVED FROM FL TO NC AND ARE STILL INVOLVED IN BUYING A NEW HOME. THE BOTTOM LINE IS FORD (CORP) IS REFUSING TO HONOR THEIR AGREEMENT TO REIMBURSE CUSTOMERS. THE CRAZIEST PART OF THIS WHOLE DILEMMA IS THAT FORD HAS AND CONTROLS 100% OF THE INFORMATION NEEDED TO PROCESS OUR REIMBURSEMENT, BUT ABSOLUTELY REFUSES TO DO SO WITHOUT THE ORIGINAL RECEIPT. I COULD UNDERSTAND IF WE HAD THIS REPAIR DONE AT SOME UNRELATED, THIRD PARTY SERVICE FACILITY. HOWEVER, WE WENT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE RECORD OF COMPLETING THE REPAIR AND US PAYING THEM FOR THE REPAIR. SO AGAIN, FORD HAS ALL THE INFORMATION (PROOF) IN THEIR POSSESSION TO TAKE CARE OF THIS REIMBURSEMENT, BUT REFUSES TO DO SO. I HAVE CALLED THE CUSTOMER (DIS)SATISFACTION DEPARTMENT AT FORD CORPORATE, BUT THAT IS LIKE TALKING TO A BRICK WALL AS FAR AS ANYONE HAVING IN COMMON SENSE, ACCOUNTABILITY OR DECENCY TO DO THE RIGHT THING (CERTAINLY ANY KIND OF GOOD WILL IS LACKING IN THAT ORGANIZATION). SO HERE I AM HAVING TO COMPLAIN TO THE NHTSA TO GET FORD TO DO WHAT THEY PROMISED IN THE FIRST PLACE. I LOOK FORWARD TO A TIMELY REPLY LETTING ME KNOW YOU GUYS HAVE THIS HANDLED. ADDITIONALLY, FORD SHOULD BE REPRIMANDED SEVERELY FOR SUCH [XXX] BEHAVIOR AND ATTITUDE. MAYBE A CONSUMER REPORTER NEEDS TO GET INVOLVED IN ALL THIS. THANKS.

THEN AGAIN IN OCTOBER 2013, I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH WHEN I LOST ACCELERATION CAPABILITY. THIS TIME THE THROTTLE BODY INDICATOR LIGHT WAS DISPLAYED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO A MECHANIC AND HE STATED THAT NOTHING REGISTERED ON THE COMPUTER AS A MALFUNCTION. HE LOOKED AT THE INTAKE VALVE AND COULD NOT SEE ANY BUILD-UP.

OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS IT CONTINUED OCCASIONALLY BUT IN AUGUST OF 2013 IT STARTED MORE OFTEN. ONE INCIDENT WAS IN AN INTERSECTION THAT WAS VERY BUSY AND I CALLED THE SAME FORD DEALERSHIP TO GET IT IN AGAIN AND THEY THEN FOUND THE THROTTLE BODY WAS BAD AND HAD TO BE REPLACED, AT THIS TIME IT NOW CAST ME OVER $500.00 DOLLARS TO FIX IT. *TR

I THEN LIMPED THE CAR TO THE DEALER, ABOUT 2 - 3 MILES AWAY, AND LEFT IT. THE NEXT DAY THE DEALER CALLED AND ADVISED ME THAT THE THROTTLE BODY WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED (150 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY) AND THE LAST ONE THE DID TOOK 2 MONTHS TO OBTAIN. I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET THAT THERE HAVE BEEN 27,000 COMPLAINTS LIKE THIS ONE. ISN'T IT ABOUT TIME FOR A RECALL! *TR

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS I WOULD BE DRIVING THE CAR AND IT WOULD LOSE ALL POWER AND THE WRENCH SYMBOL WOULD APPEAR IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I WOULD HAVE TO PULL OVER, STOP THE CAR AND TURN IT OFF. IT WOULD THEN START AND I COULD GO FOR AN UNDETERMINED PERIOD OF TIME AND IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS RESULTED IN MORE THAN ONE NEAR MISS BY OTHER CARS TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE. I HAD IT REPAIRED BY THE MERCURY DEALERSHIP WHO HAD TO ORDER THE PART SINCE THEY SAID THIS WAS HAPPENING SO MUCH IT WAS HARD TO GET THE THROTTLE BODY PART NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND ALL OF A SUDDEN LOST THROTTLE. THE VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE. I HAD TO PULL OVER AND POWER CYCLE THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED 8 TIMES IN 40 MILES. EACH TIME THE WRENCH INDICATOR WOULD DISPLAY ON THE DASH. I CHECKED THE ERROR CODES AND THERE WERE SEVERAL OCCURRENCES OF P2111 AND P2112. THIS HAPPENED TO A RELATIVE DRIVING MY VEHICLE A COUPLE DAYS AGO, AND MY WIFE A MONTH AGO. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. *TR

THE CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS ONLY 25,000 MILES. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO BECAUSE THE "FANS" WERE VERY LOUD AND THE CAR WAS JERKING WHEN I ACCELERATE. THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. TWO DAYS AGO (EXACTLY 27 DAYS AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED) THE CAR STALLED OUT TWICE. I WOULD PRESS THE GAS AND NOTHING HAPPENED. TOOK IT BACK TO THE FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID I HAVE A BAD THROTTLE BODY.... THE CAR IS STILL NEW!!! THERE HAS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THIS PART!! *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET IN OUR MERCURY MARINER WHEN IT SUDDENLY WENT FROM 30 TO 0 MPH FOR NO REASON. HER FOOT WAS ON THE ACCELERATOR WHEN IT SUDDENLY SLOWED TO A STOP, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. WHEN SHE TRIED TO DRIVE IT AGAIN THE POWERTRAIN ALARM WAS ON SO WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER. FORD MECHANICS FOUND IT TO BE AN INTERNAL SHORT IN THE THROTTLE BODY AND REPLACED IT. UNBELIEVABLY, WE HAD TO PAY $342.47, AFTER FORD REFUSED TO DO THE REPLACEMENT OF AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE ENGINE EVEN THOUGH THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WAS STILL IN EFFECT AND IT WAS A POWERTRAIN ALARM. NOT ONLY DO I BELIEVE THIS REPAIR SHOULD HAVE BEEN PAID BY FORD UNDER THE WARRANTY, BUT I BELIEVE WE WERE FORCED TO CORRECT A DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL, AS MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR FORD PRODUCTS AND IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR A CAR TO COME TO A SUDDEN HALT FOR NO REASON. *TR

ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, STARTED SURGING, RUNNING VERY ROUGH AND WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER THAN ABOUT 15 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND SHUT OFF. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND SEEMED TO RUN NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE RAN NORMALLY UNTIL 10/05/2012 WHEN IT STALLED AND RAN VERY ROUGH AGAIN. AT THIS TIME THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER FOR A CHECK. WHILE WAITING FOR A CALL BACK FROM THE DEALER THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND SEEM TO RUN NORMALLY AGAIN. AFTER TALKING TO THE SERVICE MGR., IT WAS LEARNED THAT THE PROBLEM MOST LIKELY WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND IT WOULD NOT BE UNDER WARRANTY. AT THIS TIME IT WAS DECIDED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL SHOP THAT WE WERE VERY PLEASED WITH FOR PAST SERVICE FOR OTHER VEHICLES WITHIN OUR FAMILY. THE LOCAL SHOP ORDERED AND INSTALLED A NEW THROTTLE BODY AND THE VEHICLE HAS PERFORMED NORMALLY. *TR
