1993 Mercury Villager body & structure problems

There has been smoke present from the front blower assembly. Tt vehicle experienced transmission leak on several occasions, dealer finally replaced the front axle, shaft, and boots and seal, transmission also slipping and jerking, lubricated front cv joint due to noises coming from front. Vehicle idles too fast/rough, dealer set idle speeds, poor fuel economy, dealer repired vacuum lines, fuel shield attaching part broke, exhaust leak, dealer replaced muffler and resonator. Water leak at back glass, trim missing.

Owner notice engine beginning to drag on the ground, car was still capable of operating. Transverse structural member beneath the radiator which supports the front end of the engine support beam failed and allowed engine to tilt forward. Attach bracket for support beam tore through the structural member. Serious potential for snagging the front end of the engine support beam on a road hazard and forcing the front end of the car up in the air thus rolling the engine aft under the vehicle with loss of control.
