1999 Mercury Cougar brakes complaints
Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 77 of 77, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When putting vehicle into reverse and applying the brakes, there is a loud squeaking noise coming from the vehicle.
The brakes grind.this is the second time I have had it in the garage to fix this problem in two months. What happens when the warranty expires?, and what do I do if this keeps occurring?
Since purchase of vehicle brakes have continually experienced squeaking and grinding noise, tsb #12260 states the cause may be from the silver dacromet coating on the rotors, which are embedding itself into the pads, no current repairs to rectify at this time.
Brakes make grinding sound and squeak. Dealer told me to live with it until ford comes up with a fix... Also trunk lid will not open consistantly with remote or button in the car---dealer claims it works-I have yet to find anyone who could make it work consistantly.
Abs brakes light is on and vehicle jerks at a slow stop and at fast stop. Also, there is a grinding noise coming from the brakes, and the back brakes aren't stopping the vehicle.
I have had my car in twice (2 times for brake & transmission service) none of the problems that I have, had have been corrected. My brakes still scrub & my transmission still bucks, after these returns for service. I am very unhappy about the way my car is running. Especially the brakes which are making me worry. I have had my car in on 9/17/1998 and 12/2/98 for these problems, among other problems, and the brakes and tranzmission problems still exist. I am not very happy with my 1999 mercury cougar and I will not buy one again, unless I know that ford has put their best in this car. Sincerely, adria l. Person
