Brake Light On Problems of Mercury Cougar

To whom it may concern: (management) I was driving on a residential street and was honked at by another driver who told me that my brakes lights were not working. I had a friend of mine that is a certified repair person look at it and he said it wasnt the light or the fuse or the brake switch under the pedal and that he was 95% sure it was the stop lamp extension harness that has bronze terminals at the brake lamp switch connector. I bought this car in 2004 and under a recall had the blower switch resistor repaired under the recall. The reason the recalls for this car are not showing up is because the recalls are more than 15 years old & they dont keep track after that. I have never had this problem with this car before but I have had over $9,000 worth of repairs on it since ive owned it not including the normal oil changes and tune up. I think Ford needs to approve this for the recall considering they knew how many things were wrong with the Cougars and thats why they dont make them anymore. . . Not a satisfied customer with a Ford product! first & last Ford product I will ever own if this isnt fixed to my satisfaction. Thank-you, mary danks sunitwin10@aol. Com 608-381-8448.

Bought car at dealer on 02/05/01 since then I've had to repair car on too many occasions. Here some of the repairs I've had to do on this car ever since I bought it. On 3/brakes, 10/dealership replaced battery and performed a recall,12/dealership replaced alternator, 05/brake pads, 04/water pump belt, 09/replaced batter, 10/11/replaced alternator and belt, 10/14/replaced positive battery terminal, 12/replaced radio, 02/replaced motor mount, 01/07:replaced battery, 02/replaced strut, 02/replaced shock absorber, 10/replaced battery, 04/replaced bearing, transmission & anchor engine mount and don't have the date but also had to replace the windshield wiper motor. These repairs are what I have in receipts yet for example I have replaced the motor mounts more than once. Currently the following areas of my vehicle do not function: the horn no longer works, cruise control is not functioning, the air conditioner no longer heats, & the brake light of my vehicle remained lit when the vehicle was on and now have failed to turn out (lamp socket is burnt).

Abs brakes light is on and vehicle jerks at a slow stop and at fast stop. Also, there is a grinding noise coming from the brakes, and the back brakes aren't stopping the vehicle.
