I have a 2002 Cougar with 60k miles and I've already replaced the fuel pump,power steering pump, and now the heater core is clogged. Although Lincoln/Mercury is the only one to work on the car, the warranty wont cover a clog. They will cover a leak. . . But not a clogg. How asinine is that? fidelity warranty service is a joke!.

Purchased car new, in 57000 miles we have had to replace, 2 alternators, 1 starter, 2 batteries, entire rack and pinion, power steering pump, transmission torque converter, 4 set of brakes, 4 sets of tires plus two individual tires all with sidewall blow outs except one puncture and 2 headlight switches, 2 cig lighters. The entire upper engine gasket set had to be replaced to get to an intake leak. The head lights and foglights work itermittantly, engine warning lights are constantly going on and off. Currently one headlight is out (lamp is good) fog lights are not working (today) and an engine warning light is indicating a problem again.
