1999 Mercury Tracer LS review from North America

With in 3 days of having the car, I found the hinges on the seats rusted. Response from the dealer was not under the warranty. Was rusted when I bought the car with only 15 miles on the car.

Trunk sweat very badly, possibly due to the trunk liner. when removed problem subsided.

Door seals have been loose since I had the car and leaks around the doors.

The air and heat had a mold in the vents when I bought the car and dealer did not fix or treat and was suppose too. This caused a burning sensation to the eyes.

Within two years had problems with head lights not working properly. with in 3 years I had to have one replace due to the plastic on the unit melting. I am having the same problem again. The unit is melting. This seems to be a manufacturers defect to keep happening and is very expensive to replace.

The car has operated motor wise as long as oil is changed regularly every 3,000 miles. Don't go much over that or the gas mileage goes down.

Little leg room the way the the console is made.

Not recommended for someone with back problems. Seats are not very comfortable especially on long trips.

Cup holders do not allow room for anything much over a 12 can of drink and not deep enough to keep drinks from turning over.

Seats are too low.
