Consumer Description

MY 1995 MERCURY VILLAGER''S CRANKSHAFT BROKE SUDDENLY UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITION. IT WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION SINCE WE TRAVELED WITH TWO YOUNG CHILDREN ON A 2-WAY ROAD WITHOUT SHOULDER THAT NIGHT. WE NOTICED THAT A COMMON PROBLEM EXISTED ON BOTH NISSAN QUEST AND MERCURY VILLAGER (1993-1995) DUE TO NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINS ON INTERNET. WE BELIEVE IT IS A DEFECT CAUSED BY IMPROPER DESIGN BY MANUFACTURE. SINCE IT IS A POTENTIAL LIFE-THREATEN DEFECT, THE AUTO MAKER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING THE PROBLEM.
