Faults:

I bought my 99' Cougar in January after my Honda died. I was very excited when I went to pick it up. The car was cuter than I expected.

For the first month everything seemed to be OK, but towards the end of January I noticed when I would come to a stop light my car would shake, soon enough my brakes were not working that well. I later noticed that night that I had a huge transmissions leak. The dealer ship fixed that with no cost because of my warranty.

The next problem that occurred would be my alternator going out on the high way, it all happened so fast I had no warning. We got that fixed, but a month later it went out again (the shop gave me a bad alternator the first time) so I got the second one put in for free.

Next thing I knew my air conditioning stopped working. It would work on level 4 but not on 1-3. costing around 300 dollars to fix.

The last thing I had to replace was the computer chip in my car. My check engine light constantly came on and I would get a diagnostic test ran and nothing would be wrong ever since I fixed that my car has had no problems.

I really do love my car minus the problems I have over come.

Faults:

Timing belt 80,000.

Timing belt 82,000 Ford said that it was put in improperly the first time.

Front vent by windshield flaps.

Trunk will not open unless I use the key.

Check engine light is always on.

When I am at a stop the rpms stay at 3000 then go back down this normally happens after I have been using cruise control.

General Comments:

I have had a few problems, but I am in the middle with this car. I like it and it has been good to me.

I guess I just did not expect any problems until I hit the 100,000 mark. I drive about 800 miles a month if that.

Faults:

All of my 02 sensors have went bad.

My check engine light never goes off, even after I have had it looked at a million times.

EGR valve has been replaced twice.

Alternator has been replaced.

Battery replaced.

Seems like every week a different screw or bolt falls off.

General Comments:

The look of the car is nice and that's about it.

The ride is poor.

The backseats are hard to get in and out of.
