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.
