1999 Ford Cougar Mercury review from North America

"I wish I would have sold it long ago, as I would not recommend anyone buying this car not dependable"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Oh my God! I do not know where to start? So many problems with this car, it used to be every 3 months now its once a week and I might add very costly repairs. My mechanic now calls me to ask what day of the week will I be by? I once started questioning his ability. Because these are not a one time problem they are on going.

I've listed below a few, but I assure you I have left something out.

Electrical problems, wiring, recalls, tires, brakes, alternator, starter, check engine light, blower sensors, brake lights, idiot lights are on all over the dash, transmission, trunk latch, carpet is peeling from the floor and no one really sits there, battery, and oh yeah, don't get me started on the cup holder one turn and you're wearing it.

General comments?

I've been stranded so many times, The car just stops running for no apparent reason, it will not start and now I'm once again stranded on a holiday weekend. Can't take this car on any trips. Don't even want to take it to the store down the street anymore.

The car is beautiful that's why I bought it or well one of the reasons. But once I get it starting again this car is gone bye bye and without me behind it this time. I wish I would have never purchased this car. In all the repairs I could have been driving a BMW or something.
