1999 Mercury Cougar V6 review from North America
"If you close your eyes, you won't like it anymore"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The battery died on the freeway, while the car was in motion!
The radio quit working at 64,000 miles.
The power windows are starting to go up very slowly, so I'm going to assume that they are going out.
At about 70,000 miles it has started to make a terrible noise in reverse, and I haven't quite figured that one out yet; it goes in the shop for the 3rd time next week.
General comments?
The car looks great, and that is about the only good thing about it. It constantly needs work done. I'm always afraid of it breaking down.
I've only had the car for about 9 months, and have taken it to the shop twice, and soon it will be going in again.
