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.
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!
1997 and older Cougars are superior in terms of reliability and build quality!
