Consumer Description

WHEN TRAVELING TO VISIT MY SISTER AT COLLEGE I WAS DRIVING APPOX. 85MPH BUT AFTER STOPPING TO STRETCH MY LEGS AT A REST STOP I CONTINUED TO TRY TO REACH MY PREVIOUS SPEED AND WHEN I TRIED TO GO OVER 80MPH THE CAR STARTED TO BUCK. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE RPMS COULD NOT GO OVER A CERTAIN LEVEL SO THAT BASICALLY THEY SAID THAT A 2000 MERCURY COUGAR IS NOT ABLE TO REACH SPEEDS OVER 80MPH.*AK
