1999 Mercury Cougar review from North America
"It's a piece of junk"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
It dies while I am driving it. It will just shut itself off without any warning anywhere from 15 mph to 65 mph. It's never when I am at a stop, it's always when I am in neutral and still moving. It always starts right back up without any problems. I have taken it to about 5-6 shops and no one can figure it out.
This problem just started a few months ago so I guess seeing all the other complaints I have done well to have it last this long.
I also have the same trunk latch problem everyone else has.
At one point my passenger side window would not roll down from my driver side controls.
My AC went out after having the car about 4 years.
