Hello
I am interested in an 05-07 Mariner. Preferably 6 cyl AWD or Hybrid AWD. Knowing that every car has its known issues among certain models ( and thats not a problem for me as i am pretty inclined mechanically) In my search for common issues with the Mariner of these years, i seem to have come across a fair amount of complaints about premature transmission failure. This is course being a major component it has me cautious now. Again i am not they type to complain about certain items failing and needing replacement more frequently or a design flaw, But transmission is major. Anyone know if this issue was just limited to certain years or assembly periods? Other than the obvious, How could i check for one that might be suspect?
Thanks for any info
