1999 Mercury Cougar V6 review from North America
"A Terrible Vehicle. I will never buy Mercury again!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
This car has been nothing but a headache since the day I bought it. There have been serious transmission problems, mainly a loud clunking sound, every time I switch gears. In addition, this summer I was stranded in the middle of nowhere when the radiator blew. Also, the other week the solenoid wasn't working and I couldn't move my car from Park to any other gear. This car is incredibly unreliable and I am sick of putting money into it.
General comments?
Everyone who owns a '99 Cougar should take it to the dealership; there are 3 recalls on the car. One is about when the car shifts, brake pressure, and lastly about the solenoid. Even with all these things fixed and replaced, it is still the worst car ever!
