Cougar 6-cyl

  • 175,000 miles
To whom it may concern: (management) I was driving on a residential street and was honked at by another driver who told me that my brakes lights were not working. I had a friend of mine that is a certified repair person look at it and he said it wasn't the light or the fuse or the brake switch under the pedal and that he was 95% sure it was the stop lamp extension harness that has bronze terminals at the brake lamp switch connector. I bought this car in 2004 and under a recall had the blower switch resistor repaired under the recall. The reason the recalls for this car are not showing up is because the recalls are more than 15 years old & they don't keep track after that. I have never had this problem with this car before but I have had over $9,000 worth of repairs on it since I've owned it not including the normal oil changes and tune up. I think Ford needs to approve this for the recall considering they knew how many things were wrong with the Cougar and that's why they don't make them anymore... not a satisfied customer with a Ford product! first & last Ford product I will ever own if this isn't fixed to my satisfaction.
