2000 Mercury Cougar V6 review from North America
"Good if you lease it or sell it before 3 years"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The windshield cracked out of the blue and had to be replaced
The sunroof assembly broke and the whole unit had to be replaced (at a not so cheap price of $3,700!!!)
Total cost: almost five thousand dollars, the car is only 5 years old and this happened at 68,000 km... totally unacceptable
As you can imagine Ford denies there is something wrong with the parts and they will not even consider a recall.
General comments?
Great looking car, I really enjoyed it... but at this point I'm ready to sell it and will never ever buy another Ford product
No wonder why Japanese automakers are totally dominating the market... my next car will be a Toyota.
