Here's What Went Wrong With The 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar

Mercury Cougar
1990s1999youtube

This video highlights the 1999-2002 Mercury Cougar. The 8th-generation Mercury Cougar switched markets, going from personal luxury to sports compact. The 1999 Mercury Cougar had a host of reliability issues. Some owners mentioned their Cougar would stall at highway speeds. Others mentioned their Cougar had unexplained fuel leaks. Other problems included faulty electrical systems and malfunctioning A/C. Owners also mention how the 2.5-liter Duratec V6 should be avoided, and buyers should instead seek the Inline-4 engine .
