What owners wrote
Consumer was warming vehicle up and got out, went inside and the house and the vehicle caught on fire. Fire department came and they noticed that fire started from the right hand side of vent and iginition. Vehicle burned down completely.
At about 100,000 easy highway miles, we had to replace the torque converter, then the entire transmission, plus for the last two years minor engine repairs to the tune of about $350 every other month, the window won't go down anymore, and now--4 months after the transmission replacement--we have lost overdrive and the engine light is on, again! We have never had a car with this many problems, and will never buy a ford/mercury anything again. Our suburban was more reliable. *nlm
