1999 Mercury Cougar review from North America

Steering wheel locks up and engine light comes on when you go through a puddle more than 1" deep.

Interior and exterior lights dim while driving.

Replaced front wheel bearings three times in 6 months.

Passenger side mirror is falling off for no reason.

Sometimes the car won't start, then I shut off my radio and wait about 10 seconds and it will start.

I need at least 2 tires every year at $150 each.

It makes this horribly loud humming sound only when it's cold.

Sometimes the radio just shuts off.

Console where radio is gets hot to touch and gives off heat.

Cup holder is crap.

Trunk shuts before I even get to it.

Driver window makes a squealing noise.

The car vibrates and pulls not matter how many times I get it aligned or fixed.

The seat belts are constantly getting stuck (and I have 2 nieces in car seats that like to go with me)

Dash board tray popped off.

I love to look at this car, but HATE to drive it. I treat this car like a child. I have put well over $3000 in repairs. I am a college studen and cannot afford this. That is why I bought a new car!!

If anyone else has that humming problem please let me know because I have been to 3 mechanics and they can't figure out what it is or how to fix it. nmc18_99@yahoo.com
