Eight problems related to brake disc rotor have been reported for the 1999 Mercury Cougar. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Driver's side wheel bearing has failed 3 times in 4 months. Each time requiring the bearing to be replaced, as well as the brake pads and rotors.
Please contact me at 612-708-8155 to further describe the problem. Front tire rotors were shot after only 30000. This is highly unusual and unsafe for other Mercury Cougar owners. Would like to get 300 dollar reimbursement from Ford-Mercury for replacement / repair of rotors.
While driving 35-40 mph and applying brakes there was a grinding noise, and vehicle pulled to the left. Consumer inspected brakes, brake pad had ground into the rotor. Consumer replaced left front rotor.
Rotors needed to be replaced due to "wear and tear". Dealer recognized problem at 20ooo miles.
1999 Mercury Cougar has problems with the speakers, battery equipment, brake equipment and instrument cluster. ** answer required***. The vehicle pulled to the right while driving. The consumer stated on a separate occasion while driving she noticed the vehicle had no brakes, the consumer was able to find a mechanic who determined all for rotors and pads needed to be replaced. The consumer stated the brake light did not illuminate.
Within one month of ownership brakes and rotors failed (may 5, 1999) and again in (July 1999). Mjs.
I feel like such an idiot because I bought this car!! unbelieveable problems, and now I have to try to sell this car. I paid $16000 for this crap, and then I had to pay $300 because the rotors warped on my rear brakes, and then the track on my sunroof completley broke, and that is going to cost me at least $800. Ford/Mercury should be sued for making a totally crappy car. As you can see by the number of complaints on your website, something needs to be done about this!!!! thanks, rosie.
It has been in the shop four times for brake problems. The car shakes after 3,000 miles and the rotors need turning which costs 300. 00 each time.
