" MY
'99 Cougar has been in the shop about 8 times,and the problems
are still there.The check engine light comes on,then the car
sputters and shakes,and a burnt exaust smell can be noticd after
that.Also the brakes are messed up too.They make a really bad
grinding noise whenever I apply the brakes to stop.Even certain
parts like the doors and dash board simply aren't put together
well.They make sqeaking/rattling noises like if they were put
together loosely.This car is just plain horrible.I heard similar
experiences from other people with 99 Cougars.Because of this,I
will never buy a Ford/Mercury car again.They just aren't made
well.Before that,I had a 99 Mustang GT for like a week and found
out later that the car needed a new engine,thats how I ended
up with the Cougar-I can't believe that these are actually new
cars!!"
