Common 2009 Mercury Mariner hybrid problems
The Mercury Mariner Hybrid, a compact crossover SUV produced from 2005 to 2011, has been reported to have several common problems by its owners. These issues affect various components of the vehicle, including the steering system, transmission, and cooling pump.
- Transmission Failure: Transmission failure is another common problem with the Mercury Mariner Hybrid. The transmission is responsible for transferring engine power to the wheels. If the transmission fails, the vehicle may not move at all. Transmission failure can be caused by various factors, such as worn-out gears, low transmission fluid levels, or a faulty torque converter.
- Cooling Pump Failure: The cooling pump is responsible for cooling the electronics that control the hybrid system. If the cooling pump fails, the electronics may overheat, causing the vehicle to suddenly lose power or the engine to shut down. This problem is more common in hybrid models of the Mercury Mariner. Ford issued a recall for Mercury Mariner hybrid SUVs manufactured from 2006 to 2010 to replace the original motor electronics coolant pump with an improved brushless pump free of charge.
- Engine Issues: The Mercury Mariner Hybrid has also been reported to have engine issues. Some owners have reported that their engines lose power or stall unexpectedly. This problem can be caused by various factors, such as a faulty electronic throttle body (ETB) or a malfunctioning fuel system.
- Body and Windows: Some Mercury Mariner Hybrid owners have reported issues with the vehicle's body and windows. For example, some owners have reported that their rear windows have exploded without warning. This problem can be caused by various factors, such as manufacturing defects or damage to the window.
In conclusion, the Mercury Mariner Hybrid has several common problems that affect various components of the vehicle. These issues can be addressed by replacing worn-out parts or repairing damaged components. However, some problems, such as cooling pump failure, may require a recall to address the issue. If you own a Mercury Mariner Hybrid, it is essential to be aware of these common problems and address them promptly to ensure the safety and reliability of your vehicle.

- Components: STEERING
- Summary: WHILE MAKING A SHARP LEFT TURN ON A CITY STREET THE POWER STEERING ASSIST SYSTEM FAILED COMPLETELY! I BARELY AVOIDED A COLLISION. APPARENTLY THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR FAILURES. WHY HASN'T FORD PAID FOR A REPAIR ON A SYSTEM WHICH IS OBVIOUSLY FLAWED AND DANGEROUS WHEN IT FAILS!

- Components: ENGINE
- Summary: 2009 MERCURY MARINER HYBRID WITH 93000 MILES DRIVING 50 MPH ON A SIX-LANE BLVD. HESITATES BRIEFLY, THEN ACCELERATOR CEASES TO FUNCTION COMPLETELY. DESPITE THE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION, WE MANAGED TO MANEUVER THE CAR OFF THE ROAD TO SAFETY. WARNING LIGHT (TRIANGLE WITH EXCLAMATION POINT) AND WARNING MESSAGE "STOP SAFELY NOW". THE CAR COMPUTER KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM, WHY DOESN'T FORD? THEY CONDUCTED A "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM" FOR MILLIONS OF ESCAPE AND MARINER OWNERS FOR THIS VERY ISSUE - THROTTLE BODY DEFECT - BUT NOT HYBRIDS. WHY NOT? IT COST US $300 AND NEARLY A MULTI-CAR ACCIDENT. FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR MANUFACTURERS DEFECTS IN ALL CARS, NOT JUST SOME. PUTTING FAMILIES IN HARM'S WAY BECAUSE FORD DOESN'T HAVE THE INTEGRITY TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR VEHICLE ISSUES IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED, AND FORD NEEDS TO BE HELD LIABLE.

- Date Of Incident: 2015-05-15
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC),SERVICE BRAKES
- Summary: WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD CAME ON AND THEN THE BREAKS FAILED. WE WERE ABLE TO GET TO SAFETY AFTER GOING OFF THE ROAD. WHEN TAKEN INTO THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY REPAIR SHOP THEY RESET THE CODES AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE, NO PARTS TO REPAIR. LESS THAN 50 MILES LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN INJURING 3! THIS TIME IT'S THE ABS MODULE. AFTER CALLING THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY, THEY REFUSE TO ADMIT THERE IS ANY PROBLEM AND NO REASON FOR A RECALL. WE WERE GIVEN THE NHTSA INFORMATION TO MAKE A COMPLAINT AND IF EVENTUALLY NHTSA INFORMS FORD THAT THEY MUST DO A RECALL WE CAN BE GIVEN A REFUND FOR OUR MONEY SPENT ON THIS REPAIR. OUR QUESTION IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN SOMEONE DIES? DOES IT TAKE THAT BEFORE SOMEONE IS GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE KNOWN HYBRID BREAKING PROBLEMS? THE MANGER AT THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY CUSTOMER SERVICE DOESN'T THINK IT'S AN ISSUE WORTH LOOKING INTO ONLY TO SAY THAT A VEHICLE WITH HIGH MILEAGE SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF AND REPAIRED BY THE OWNERS. NOT THAT FORD IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FAULTY PARTS! PLEASE NHTSA DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE HYBRID BREAKING SYSTEM BEFORE MULTIPLE PEOPLE CONTINUE TO BE INJURED OR ARE KILLED!
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM PROBLEM

- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
- Summary: MY CAR, ON 4-5 OCCASIONS NOW, HAS LOST ALL POWER WHILE TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AT ABOUT 80 MILES PER HOUR. I CALLED FORD BECAUSE OF THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM AND MY VEHICLE DOES NOT QUALIFY BECAUSE OF THE ASSEMBLY PLANT THAT THE CAR WAS BUILT AT. I CAN ATTEST THAT MY VEHICLE IS DOING THE SAME EXACT THING THAT IS DESCRIBED IN THE ACCOUNTS OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE - WITHOUT QUESTION. I URGE YOU TO EXPAND THE PROGRAM THAT FORD IS BEING REQUIRED TO DO FOR THIS MASSIVE (OVER 1 MILLION VEHICLE) PROBLEM. THIS APPEARS TO ME TO GO BEYOND A PLANT ISSUE TO AN ENGINEERING ISSUE WITH THE PART ITSELF. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2011-09-01
- VIN: 4M2CU393X9K
- Components: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
- Summary: THIS VEHICLE HAS LOST BRAKES 3 TIMES. MY NOW 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IS THE DRIVER! THE FIRST TIME THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND PUMPING IT WOULD NOT HELP. PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE CAR. A NON-FORD CAR TECHNICIAN TOLD US IT WAS A POSSIBLE BRAKE BOOSTER ISSUE AND THE BEST THING TO DO WOULD BE FOR IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND BRING IT TO FORD FOR THE CODES TO BE READ. I DROVE THE CAR FOR OVER A WEEK AND IT WOULD NOT REPEAT THE PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME WAS ALSO AROUND 40 MPH AND PUSHING THE BRAKES AS HARD AS POSSIBLE WOULD ONLY SLIGHTLY STOP THE CAR AND IT WOULD KEEP JUMPING FORWARD. MY DAUGHTER HAD TO STOP WITH THE E-BRAKE. I TOOK IT TO FORD FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. FORD REPLACED THE VACUUM PUMP/HOSE ASSEMBLY. THEN 2 DAYS LATER, SHE LOST BRAKES AGAIN. HAD TO USE E-BRAKE TO STOP IN BUSY TRAFFIC. THE SOUTHEAST REGION FORD TECHNICIAN CAME TO DIAGNOSIS THIS CAR. AFTER 9 DAYS AT THE SHOP THE BRAKE BOOSTER ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD AGAIN THAT THIS SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM. FYI ( EACH TIME THE CAR LOST BRAKES, BY TURNING OFF THE CAR AND BACK ON AGAIN IT WOULD REGAIN THEM). I AM NOW DRIVING THIS CAR TO DETERMINE IF THE ISSUE IS IN FACT TAKEN CARE OF. THIS HAS BEEN A VERY SCARY SITUATION - ESPECIALLY SINCE MY DAUGHTER IS THE DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE. WHEN READING AUTOMOBILE BLOGS IT APPEARS BRAKES ARE AN ISSUE NOT ONLY WITH THE MARINER HYBRID, BUT THE ESCAPE HYBRID AS WELL. I WOULD LIKE THIS INVESTIGATED. *KB

AFTER HITTING THE VEHICLE THE RPMS CONTINUED TO INCREASE AND DID NOT STOP UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER TO BE INSPECTED.

Positive 2009 Mercury Mariner hybrid car reviews

I hope you're doing well! I noticed that you were searching for a good value in a used Hybrid car and were concerned about performance, price, and reliability. I did some research on this car and was very impressed with its performance, handling, features, and style. If you're interested, I highly recommend taking one for a drive and seeing what I mean. I also have a Fusion that I like, but this car has been a great choice! It performs like a powerful 6 cyl, but gets 30+ MPG combined mileage (my real experience). It's also very comfortable and gets positive comments from my family and friends, who think it looks like a new car!
-
I love my hybrid! It's been such a great change from my old Venture mini-van, which only got 16-17 mpg. Now I'm averaging 30 mpg on my daily commute, and I've even gotten as high as 35 mpg on a highway trip through the WV mountains. I do wish it had Bluetooth and a built-in garage door opener, but other than that, it's perfect. I definitely recommend it!
-
I've been driving this car for almost 3 months now and I'm really pleased with it! It's so agile and easy to park, which is great for city driving. Even though I'm 6'-3
-
Hi there! I hope you're doing well. I wanted to share my experience with this vehicle. One thing that I've noticed is that there is some road noise when driving, which my husband (who drives a Diesel) also comments on. Despite this, I still enjoy driving it. I was a bit surprised to see some reviews claiming 30+ MPG, as in my experience, I usually get around 26-28 MPG. What has your experience been like?
-
I researched this vehicle for over 6 months. After so much anticipation, I wondered if it would live up to my expectations. However, I took the keys in Aug 07 and have never been happier. It surpassed my dreams! It's really fun to drive, but you do need to be watchful. I have scared folks when running on the electric motor, all you can hear are the tires on the ground, which can be a bit eerie. The kids tease me that it's quieter than the 'Barbie' Car! We even took it on a major vacation, driving 700 miles one way for 12 hours, and it did great, getting 31 mpg. It saved us 1/3 of the cost in gas compared to our Windstar, without losing any comfort. It handled the mountain curves with ease. The navigation system was helpful, but it gave warnings in some areas. Overall, I think Ford has outdone themselves with this one!

If you are considering purchasing this car, it is important to note that it requires regular use to maintain its functionality. The owner's manual recommends driving the car at least once a week for 20-30 minutes to recharge the FHV battery. Unfortunately, the previous owner of this '09 Mercury Mariner did not follow this recommendation, resulting in costly repairs. It is important to keep this in mind when considering the purchase of a Ford Hybrid.
Kory Pollich 2025-02-10
I recently acquired a 2008 Mariner with 25K miles. Although it has great gas mileage, I found the vehicle to be quite noisy and uncomfortable. I would recommend test driving and comparing it to other vehicles in this category before making a decision. It's worth noting that this car is similar to the Ford Escape, so you may have a similar experience. Thank you for considering my input.

I live in Wisconsin, where the weather can vary greatly between snow and heat. To tackle each season, I chose a used Mercury Mariner Hybrid 2008 AWD. I added my own receiver and mounted it under the GPS receiver that comes with the car. I also added a 10-inch sub in the back. The hybrid battery can handle rumbling from the sub even when it's directly on top of the compartment that the hybrid battery is in. In the winter, this vehicle can easily get through snow and handle ice with below 0 temperatures. In the summer, the car has not overheated in over 100-degree F temperatures. The interior looks nice, but the material is poor. The outside looks decent but has some rust above the wheels, and the paint has survived 8 years and still looks decent. When driving at 70mph on the highway, I get an average of 23-25 mpg. If I go around 65mph, I get an average of 24-27mpg. In town, the hybrid battery mode kicks in when you stop quickly or are going slow (usually slower than 25mph), which just uses hybrid battery power and not gas. This makes the car almost silent, and you can achieve up to 60mpg with the battery fully on. If you are varying slow and fast speeds, you should be able to get at least 25-40 mpg in town. The only issues I have had were my steering column starting to fail, which cost me around $1000 to fix, and one tie rod needing to be replaced, as well as both of the front wheel brake sensor and tone rings needing to be replaced.Lastly, my transfer case had to be replaced, but don't worry, it's most likely due to the 22 inch rims I used to have on the vehicle. Overall, I think this is a pretty decent buy for a used hybrid mini SUV that also has AWD.
