| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I have had the same problem as these people that have all posted information on the internet. now i have take my car into multiple places to have the problem resolved, and nobody seems to know what is wrong with the vehicle. i think since so many people are having the same problem that it is not our problem, but a problem that mercury as a company needs to fix. i am having an intermittent problem with my van not starting. it is a 1993 mercury villager. on saturday after driving it for about 1 hour with multiple stops where i turned the car off and went into a store, it would not start. when i turned the key every single light came on, seat belt, check engine, it seemed like 7 or 8 in all. there was nothing. we tried jumping it, but that did not do anything. later that day someone told me it sounded to him like it wasn't in park or at least the car didn't think it was in park. i tried starting it again after depressing the brake, turning to on and moving from park to neutral then back to park. it started up just like always. i drove around and made 2 stops. the first time it started right back up, the second time it wouldn't start, but after moving it to neutral and back to park it started right up. after a total driving time of about 35 - 40 minutes i arrived home. about 20 minutes later i went out to start the car and got nothing. this time the neutral to park trick did not work. i tried numerous time over the course of an hour with no luck. have a 1997 villager with 130k on it. the van has been running fine until two days ago. i went out to start it and it spits, sputters, backfires and dies. *tr |
