Consumer Description

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON I THAUGH IT WOULD BE AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, IT WAS NOT.THE CAR WOULD JUMP AND ACCELERATE WHEN STOPING AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND STOPPED TRAFFIC WHEN I WOULD PRESS ON THE GAS LIGHTLY. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WOULD BE $2000. TO FIX. I DID NOT EXTEND MY FORD WARRANTY. THEY SAID THERE WAS A HIDDEN WARRANTY WITH THE ENGIN AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $500. HE ASLO SAID I COULDN'T HAVE BEEN ANYTHING I DID, THE ENGINE WAS COMING APART, THAT WOULD BE THE MANUFATURER'S FAULT. I WISH I WOULD HAVE NOT BAUGHT THIS COUGAR, ITS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS AND RECALLS. I HAVE WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP SO MANY TIME I'VE LOST COUNT.*AK
