For sale is a 1995 Mercury Cougar automobile, beige/ champagne color, nice paint, 6 cylinder engine, 2 doors, everything is solid mechanically, and a VERY smooth and comfortable ride, with working ICE COLD AIR conditioning! The odometer shows 90,000 miles on it, but noticed it just stopped working a few months back (could maybe be a loose cable or fuse?), so add a few thousand miles to it, I can verify the approximate mileage with the title and recent registration papers (the speedometer and gauges DO work). This car has many nice features like power windows, power door locks, power seats, cruise control, tilt wheel, rear window defroster, a/c, and very nice bucket seats (no smoking). Seats are in excellent condition, only 1 spot on the driver's seat 3" long tear/ wear mark that is a common wear area from rubbing as you go in and out of the vehicle... and non smoking owner so interior is in excellent shape and very clean. The car has had regular maintenance, i.e. oil changes and lube jobs, tune up/ spark plugs, and many new parts/ service within the last year including: brand new front wheel bearings, rotors and brakes!, a few new brake lines, new tensioner/ pulley on front of engine, and a few steering/ stabilizer bars (so the steering is nice and tight.... and straight!). So basically the entire front end and brakes are like brand new, about $1,500-$2,000 alone to do all that in a shop. Stereo is working fine as well.

The car does have some rust on the underside, and at the bottoms of the doors, the passenger side being the most significant. You can repair it with bondo/ fiberglass and it would be fine, but it never bothered me that much and if you can live with (or fix) a little rust, you get a great vehicle for the price. The only other issue is that it needs a power steering line repaired, which recently broke. Hence, the price has been discounted for these things.

This vehicle and should provide years of dependable service and make a very nice car. Similar vehicles selling for $3,500+ on CL and Ebay. This is a great car for a great price, very nice ride and comfortable.

I'm in Oviedo (East Orlando) area 32766, buyers are welcome to come inspect before auction ends, just send a message with any questions. Cash upon pickup please.

Ford finally issues recall for 230K minivans over rust problems

Sun, 10 Mar 2013

The rust issue in the rear wheel wells of 2004-2007 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans has finally led to a recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began an investigation into the matter in 2011, said investigation being upgraded to an engineering analysis a year later while NHTSA tried to figure out how many model years should be included in the assessment.
Ford has decided to recall all of the 230,000 minivans potentially affected, namely those sold in salt-belt states and countries like Canada. The excess rust in the rear wheel wells was also able to prevent the third-row seats from locking to the floor of the minivan. To repair the problem, owners can take their minivans to dealers, and the dealers will place new panels in the wheel wells, replace the third-row seat mounting brackets and relocate the latches to an area away from any corrosion.
Ford says it will begin notifying owners during the last week of March.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer.
