Maroon paint White interior Tan top 351 FMX transmission Power steering Power brakes Original Mercury wheels Convertible top boot Marti Report
I got the Cougar in 2011. The previous owner got the car from Arizona, and he told me it was restored about 5 years before I got it.
Since I have had the Cougar, the following was done to it. I have receipts for everything listed. - new starter, alternator, and voltage regulator - dash rewired and new circuit board - all gauges work (the speedometer needs to be calibrated, and the clock does not work) - door locks fixed - top adjusted - new power top hydraulic cylinders and lines - new Custom Autosound AM/FM stereo, fits without having to cut the dash - new speakers - new radiator - new front end - new power steering pump, box, and cylinder - new heater switch (heater works, but windshield defroster doesn’t) - new transmission filter and fluid flush
The car runs good and is driven almost every day. I use it to get to work (8 miles one way). It starts on the first try almost every time. The power top works good, but there is a slow hydraulic fluid leak. There are slow oil, transmission fluid, and power steering fluid leaks, a slow vacuum leak in the headlight covers, and oil in the radiator. Sometimes, in hot weather, the transmission does not shift right.
The paint is in good condition and the body and underside are very solid. The interior is also good, but not perfect, and there is a large crack in the dash.
If you have any questions, need more pictures, or want to see or drive the Cougar call Danny at 713-705-4826. |

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.
