1997 Mercury Villager Engine cooling Problems

“I am one of tons of people with the notorious exhaust manifold studs breaking issue! Which causes the check engine like to come on, and dangerous fumes to enter the vehicle. With 4 children, this is not a good thing...and the price is more then a family of 4 children can afford at $1500-3000 depending on the damage and now I cannot have my vehicle safely inspected due to this issue. Please have them issue a recall on this and protect our families.”

“Since september 1997 consumer kept taking vehicle to dealer for hesitation, engine light coming on , stalling, bad gas milage and sputtering. Dealer kept telling consumer it was due to reformulated gasoline. To dealer at least 12 times. Currently, vehicle is out of warranty, and dealer finds all fuel injectors need to be replaced, at cost of $1700.”

“Check engine light kept illuminating. When the vehicle was purchased the consumer noticed that the check engine light was on. The dealer reset it but it kept coming back on. It was later determined that the problem was with the speed sensor.”
