One problem related to speed control linkage has been reported for the 1997 Mercury Villager. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The accelerator linkage periodically sticks when you accelerate. We were told that this must be a problem since the parts were backordered and we had to wait a month to get it fixed the first time. It is sticking again and we are taking it back to thouroughbred Ford in kansas city, mo where we had it repaired the first time. It cost over $200 for the repair. It is dangerous because when you try to accelerate from a stop to cross traffic it sticks and delays your time crossing the intersection.
