"If it's taken care of, it is a dream to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Windows have stopped working.
Seats are badly worn.
Driver power seat has stopped moving forward and back.
Dash lights - not all work.
Heating/Cooling system - A/C not working, fan works on High only.
Gear indicator does not work.
Back seat belts do not work.
Leaks in the tranny, oil pan, and motor.
Smokes a lot.
Cigarette lighter doesn't work.
Inside lights are not working (have changed the bulbs twice).
Center console lid broke off.
General comments?
The car had one previous owner, and they did not take care of the car at all. So far nothing new has gone wrong with the car since I bought.
The car looks like a tornado went through it, but it is a good car to get me from point A to point B.
Even though the car has a lot wrong with it, it still has the power that a Cougar should have.
I love this car. The Cougar is a real classic to me, and I would recommend it to everyone looking for a sleek sexy car.
