I own a 99 Mercury Cougar, original owner. My husband changed the front brakes and found the sensor was missing on the front passenger side. My husband called the dealership and spoke to one of the tech's, he said all 4 wheels should have a sensor. When I brought the car there today the service writer told me the tech compared it to another Cougar and found no sensor on the right front. If a Cougar has abs there will not be any sensors, so who knows what he was comparing it to. No brakes wear even. The only way I will be happy if someone sends me a picture of the braking system. My husband has been a truck and car tech. For 30 years and he said all four wheels should have a sensor. Who are they kidding.

Check for coolant leak at intake manifold. Replaced intake manifold. There were regular oil changes and tire rotation. The engine light had come on, and the coolant light would come on and off. The dealer had to replace the engine sensor light and added a cup of water. The consumer's son in law was driving the vehicle and white smoke coming from under the vehicle, the rubber strip on the inside of the vehicle was coming off, the right rear trim panel coming loose, the brakes made rubbing noise intermittently, glove box door won't shut, the air bag would rattle, the right front door rattled while the vehicle was in motion, and the door switch trim panel was discolored.
