1999 Mercury Cougar review from North America

"I'm going broke, because I bought a lemon"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

First off, the check engine light has been going on none stop, and it's getting rather frustrating.

I've had to replace the ignition.

The sun roof no longer goes up.

The clutch just one day decided not to work. Apparently they found the bolt that fell somewhere inside the car that could have done serious damage, but I still paid over 300.00 plus towing for a bolt.

The window no longer goes down. Haven't even bothered with this situation considering it will be over 500.00 to have the motor in the window replaced.

To open the trunk has been a joke since day one if using your remote on the key.

The newest problem to add to this joke of a car, is that I'm the only one who has ever owned it. The starter has completely broke. I'm talking about the core of it. Everyone who has looked at it is shocked and has never seen this before.. So I'm at a complete loss to this, and want to know if anyone else has had or seen this.

On top of this, the clutch has not been the same and has done strange things ever since the bolt was replaced. I have a new starter, but I'm a little hesitant to pay to have it replaced. I'm wondering what in the world could have caused the starter to break in half in the first place?

General comments?

Has anyone had any or some of these problems? Mostly I need to find any information regarding clutch or starter problems.
