  FELL APART AFTER WARRANTY FINISHED - 2000 Mercury Cougar
  By Marc26tx - December 11 - 2:00 am

  While under warranty it went in for transmission issue and a/c motor. After 36k was over, DOWN hill from there. Mass air flow sensor, fuel gauge broke,windshield wiper motor failed. Changed 4 alternators in 1 week and 2 different dealers who couldnt fix the problem and told me the car was possessed and I should sell it immediately! So then I took it to Carmax to sell it to them and it BROKE DOWN on the test drive! Since then, I traded it for an 04 Hyundai with 100,000k mile warranty and I will NEVER buy an American car again! Somebody at Ford needs to marry someone from Japan so they produce a reliable product.

  What a Lemon - 2000 Mercury Cougar
  By What a Lemon - October 15 - 3:53 am

  I would not suggest anyone to buy this car. I fell in love with this car when I first seen it but in this case looks were not everything. I bought this car as a birthday present to myself and since driving it off the lot a year ago I have already spent $4000 in repairs. It is sitting at the garage right now waiting for another transmission. I have had it in the garage twice before with the same issues. Other than the trans my AC stopped working this past summer, the fan at the radiator stopped working, the headlights do this dimming thing that just drives me crazy, but hey, it has a great radio. Its seen the back of a tow truck more than the road itself.

  So Sorry I Bought One - 2000 Mercury Cougar
  By SoSorry - July 25 - 10:00 am

  I bought my car right off the showroom floor with 6 miles on it. I absolutely love this car but has been nothing but a nightmare since I got it. I have had the motor pulled twice because it keeps blowing the pan gasket seal and every time I pick it up from the dealer it goes out before I am out of town. The headlights dim, when you run the A/C and the headlights you might as well forget about power and being able to see. I also agree with the tire situation they are expensive costing on average $175 per tire. The cup holder is a joke also it may not be important to some but when you are waring your drink its funny!

  Hunk of Junk !! - 2000 Mercury Cougar
  By kristan85 - March 20 - 3:08 pm

  Ive had my Cougar about 4 years now and its only just over 89,000 miles. Ive had to have 3 fuel flushes ..the gas was filthy and very dark brown and causing the engine to miss. Ive had to put 2 new batteries in it along with an altenator. I had plugged ECG valves. Last week I spent $700. on a new fuel pump along with a fuel/oil pressure censor. Ive replaced all 4 tires. The dash lights and headlights are always flickering. It wont start if its cold out. My sunroof wont open. Its starting to rust. The battery light is always flickering on and off (even with a new battery and altenator). When its cold out my trunk wont stay open I have to hold it up (hatchback)..do not recommend!!!

  jessii - 2000 Mercury Cougar
  By jessii0825 - January 26 - 5:23 am

  I bought this car from private seller after owning one before and loved it. Since I have this car I have put more money in than its worth. Had transmission replace, starter, gear cable and now something seriously wrong with engine (timing and wheel something) which will costs another 2300 to fix. I said forget it and Im selling for parts (of course I dont know who would want these crappy parts). I would never recommend buying this car. Its junk!
