Mercury Cougar 1996 Tires Tread/belt Review #727460

MERCURY COUGAR 1996 car safety problem was reported on .MERCURY COUGAR 1996, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with TIRES:TREAD/BELT . about a month after purchasing the car, i had a flat on the front passenger side tire. we took the car to discount tires who told us that the tire on the back drivers side was separating and had to be replaced. they refused to fix the flat until we replaced the tire due to safety. we bought a replacement tire from discount tires and had it placed on the front drivers side. about two weeks later my son was driving the car on one of our loops, at the posted speedlimit of 70 mph, when the rear passenger side tire shredded and blew out. the car ended up going sideways down the loop in rush hour traffic. he ended up in the middle of freeway in the grass. thankfully no one was hurt, but the tire did damage to the wheel well and the rear bumper when it came loose. we replaced that tire and the other front tire at the same time. about two to three weeks later i noticed a bad vibration while driving and had the fourth tire replaced. i had asked the technician at discount tires, if i should go to firestone and have them look at the tire, as there must be something wrong with them to come apart like that. i was told i could take it to them, however they would not give me very much, as the tread was low, i might get a little bit of replacement value but not much. since i have had to replace all four tires, and the tire retailers charged me a disposal fee, and kept the bad tires, i have no way of proving that i had the original firestone tires the car came with. these tires looked fine and appeared to have quite a bit of tread still on them, but all four of them completly separated the tread from tire.it mounted. *ak( dot number: ).Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1MELM6247TH.

MERCURY COUGAR 1996 car safety problem was reported on Oct 09, 2004.MERCURY COUGAR 1996, manufactured by Ford Motor Company had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM . i just purchased vehicle from used car lot. during my 3 mile trip home the car over heated and water vapor was coming in through air conditioning vents. when i stopped at my home, i could see steam coming from inside engine. when i opened the hood, i found that there was crack in a plastic part coming directly off of the engine block to a coolant hose. i went to several auto parts stores to identify the part and found it was a crack in the intake manifold water cross-over jacket causing coolant leak. the stores did not carry a replacement, so i called the ford dealership. ford does have a replacement part, actually they redesigned the whole intake manifold because of their poor design error. they also had extended the car warranty to 7 years to replace this part if/when failure occurs. the ford replacement is an assembly, not part just the problem part, it costs $589.17 and dealer installation of it costs $450.00. ford would not assist or give at all on the 7 year warranty extension to fix their obvious design flaw in the part and/or the whole assembly. through on-line newgroups about this problem, junkyards cannot keep the old plastic part in their yards. i love the cougar xr7 v8, but beware if this part hasn't been fixed with the new one, that you will at some point have to fix it. *nm.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 95000 miles.

MERCURY COUGAR 1996 car safety problem was reported on Nov 22, 2004.MERCURY COUGAR 1996, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE . i purchased my cougar in 1996 brand new. i have been it soul owner since the date of purchase. on november 23, 2004 i was driving to work and about half way there my low coolant light came on. there was no other signs that my car was in trouble, no overheating on my temperature gauge, so i continued to work, parked the car. before i started the car i added a gallon of antifreeze and it seemed to drain out so i added another gallon, it did the same. i immediate called my mechanic before starting the car. he told me to start the car and when i did i looked under the car and all the antifreeze was pouring out fast. i shut off the car and had it towed directly to my mechanic. he has informed me that the manifold has cracked. i have had this item periodically checked since i received the recall information in 1998. each check has assured me that this manifold was in good shape. now i find out that the recall will not cover the replacement of the manifold. this is going to cost me $1100.00 to fix. i think it is very unfair that ford will not continue to honor the recall since they know that this plastic manifold will not hold up for the life of the car. this is my first major issue and i am very disappointed in fords policy. i bought my cougar in good faith and i love my car very much. because i take care of my vehicle i missed the cutoff time by four months and now it will cost me dearly. why weren't vehicle owners informed of the cutoff times? i was given the impression this recall would be honored in good faith for the life of the vehicle. *nm.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1MELM62W8TH.

MERCURY COUGAR 1996 car safety problem was reported on Sept 12, 2007.MERCURY COUGAR 1996, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE . while driving my 1996 cougar this past september, which has only 40,360 miles on it and is stored most of the year for the purposes of collecting and preserving the vehicle indefinitely, at low speeds i noticed the obvious sign of coolant and the smell of coolant coming from up under the hood. i then shut the vehicle down right away and discovered coolant running onto the ground below. now, being of an experienced nature with automobiles and using close observation of the problem it appeared to be emanating from the front of the intake manifold. i then discovered after the fact that these 4.6 liter engines are notorious for this intake cracking problem, so now i will be purchasing an upgraded and improved intake for around $223.00 that is designed as a replacement for this defective manifold. i then had my vehicle towed to my place of residence at the cost of around $100.00 question is? why then am i one of those owners that were not given the opportunity to get a covered replacement when it is very apparent that my year 1996 mercury cougar should have been included in the 4.6 engines recall. this could have been a disastrous situation damaging or shortening the life of a well cared for engine. the intake manifold is simply not a component that should fail, i realize that this doesn't apply to every component on a vehicles engine but it does and should apply to this component because of the importance of this part, since the potential cost incurred to an owner if it overheats the engine could be quite high and this is completely solvable by proper component design as is well proven with good designs in the many automobles produced in past years. *cn .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 40359 miles.
