Can Mercury service save me money?

Servicing the drivetrain system can help you save money by saving other parts of your vehicle. A bad drivetrain can put undue stress on other vehicle parts and lead to premature wear and tear.

What are signs my Mercury drivetrain is damaged?

Noises toward the back of your Mercury Mountaineer, leaking fluid, trouble turning — these could all be signs of drivetrain damage you want to address. Take action before something more severe happens.

How often should I come in for Mercury Mountaineer differential service?

Differential service frequency varies from car to car. Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. We generally recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.

Why is my Mountaineer malfunction indicator light (MIL) on?

A multitude of problems can activate your Mountaineer’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.

Can you clear the Mountaineer check engine light on your own?

While resetting a malfunction warning light at home is technically possible, doing so is not advisable. The check engine light is typically a sign of a problem in one of your Mountaineer's systems, and simply resetting the light will not address the underlying issue. Instead, you should bring your vehicle to a reliable auto shop to have the underlying problem identified and fixed to help ensure the safety and reliability of your Mountaineer.

Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Mountaineer serious?

If your Mountaineer has a drivetrain malfunction, don't wait. Get it checked out by a professional mechanic. Identifying the underlying cause and performing the appropriate repairs right away can help prevent further damage and avoid unsafe driving conditions.

Is the transmission considered part of the drivetrain in my Mountaineer?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Mountaineer’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your Mountaineer forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.

All About 2009 Mercury Mountaineer Drivetrain Service

The drivetrain is responsible for transferring power from your Mountaineer's engine to its wheels. It spans the full length of your Mercury, from back to front. It's one of the most complex systems in your Mountaineer and is made up of everything after the engine transmission: driveshafts, axles, joints, differentials, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2009 Mercury Mountaineer, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can minimize repairs by following Mercury's recommendations for checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears.

When to Get Mercury Mountaineer Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can help repair all of your 2009 Mercury Mountaineer drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Mountaineer might need driveshaft repair if you notice heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, resistance when turning, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. It's hard to put a timeframe on drivetrain repair. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." So much depends on the climate and your driving style. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Mercury Mountaineer.

You might be wondering: how much will it cost to fix the drivetrain in your 2009 Mercury Mountaineer? Minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable. But bigger repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can be a little more expensive since the labor is much more intensive.
