I was driving along after shopping and I started to hear this dragging or bottoming out sound so I pulled over to see what was happening and to my surprise the front frame on the passenger side that holds up the engine was broken I then opened the hood and saw that the engine was sitting sideways toward the passenger side. I limped the van home and had my mechanic look at it and he said that it was on fixable and then I called five body shops to see if they could fix it and they said no and that mercury villagers was known to do this and that they were recalled for this before.

All of the doors lock by themselves. It has happened many times. We can be out of the car or in it. The keys can be out of the ignition. It usually happens when we are parked but it has also happened when we were driving. There have been numerour times whenwe have tried to unlock the car with the remote and it "quickly" locks itself back up; this may repeat itself for or five times before we can get into the car.
