1994 Mercury Villager GS review from North America
"A high performance, extremely low reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1. Rear air conditioning pipes were leaking on the second year I got the car. The pipes were all rust, and rust, and rust.
2. 2 out of three main radiator hose were broke, and replaced. Additional hose near the manifold also replaced. Gas line hose also replaced because it was sipping gasoline.
3. The spark plug wires were all cracked, and I have to replace all of them.
4. Front driver side power window motor broke.
5. Throttle stuck at the first start up. It took a long time to get it working properly.
6. Front driver door latch came loose. The screws, nuts and bolts were not secure enough.
7. Power door lock has a mind of its own. Sometimes the locks do not work correctly.
General comments?
I like the car as the design is relatively good. The reliability of this car is extremely poor. No wonder Toyota market is gaining shares and became the second biggest auto maker instead of FORD.
