Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 1999 mercury cougar which currently has 5700 miles. the flywheel has failed ,resulting in complete replacement of the starter and flywheel. the problem began more than a year ago but was so intermittent that my mechanic could not reproduce the problem in order to diagnose. at this time the vehicle is being repaired. damaged parts will be retained for future inspection if needed. i conducted a websearch and found a website which contained many other owners of 99 cougars experiencing the exact same problem, even at the same approx. mileage. the website is located at: ://www.carsurvey.org/viewcomments_review_5988.html. *ak
