1974 Cougar XR-7. This car is one of one of the 92,670 Cougars sold in 74. I have a Marti Report that I purchased last year. I just don't have time for the car and my extra money if any goes to a couple of other cars I have. This car came with all the reg options plus a Factory 460 4BBL Engine with C-6 and 3:25 Posi. It also has Tilt, Cruise, Power Everything including Seats, Windows, Door Locks, has Factory Tach, Gauge Package instead of lights, Clock, AM FM Stereo with 8 Track Tape Deck, Delayed Wipers, Rear Window Defrost, and Trailer Tow Package Class II. Need to sell as it is getting a lot of Rust Problems in the lower doors and quarters. I rebuilt the Engine years ago just before I parked it with New Pistons and the whole 9 yards so to speak. The block had no wear so I was able to keep it standard but still put in new pistons. The block must be a High Nickel Truck Block due to the Tow Package to have Zero Wear with around 126,000 miles or more. Would like to sell for $2,500. just so I don't have to crush a One of One Car with a Rebuilt 460. I have too many engines now and no room. I have about 30 engines and other parts. It is a deal. You can't pull the engine, do a professional rebuild and reinstall the engine for less than $5,000. The car also has Black Leather interior although it needs new front covers. Mike. 704-516-8033. Another Donor Car from 1974 to 1976 Cougars, Montego, or Gran Torino Elite parts work. This would make a nice awesome car. Plus if you have a Street Strip or all out Drag Car you can use this Trailer Tow Package Cougar as the Tow Vehicle to Haul your Drag Cougar or other car to the track. Due to the car sitting for so long I cannot warranty anything about the car. I did however remove the gas tankseveral years ago, flush it and the fuel lines, rebuild the carb and with new gas the engine fired up without any problems at all. Call with any questions. Mike, 704-516-8033.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.

NHTSA investigating Ford's solution to May 2014 power steering recall

Tue, Apr 7 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating a complaint that Ford's response to a May 2014 recall of the 2008 to 2011 Ford Escape and Mercury Mariner doesn't quite go far enough to solve a troubling power-steering problem. Roughly a year ago, Ford recalled nearly a million vehicles after it was found that a problem with the torque sensor's communication with the power steering control module could cut steering assistance for drivers. While manual steering would still be available, the problem was enough to ask drivers to report in to have the PSCM inspected, and if necessary, replaced (along with the torque sensor, or in dramatic cases, the entire steering column). That would only happen, though, if trouble codes were being thrown. If there weren't any problems, dealers were told to simply update the PSCM's software so that any issues between it and the torque sensor would simply throw a visual and audio warning – power steering would still be maintained. The petitioner claimed that following the recall work, he still experienced a problem with the torque sensor. According to NHTSA, a claim was made that Ford didn't go far enough in its solution to the problem, and that "the software update itself may in fact cause further issues with the affected vehicle's power steering, causing it to fail, and ultimately requiring replacement of the torque sensor or entire steering column." The petition was filed in early February and is now officially being looked into by NHTSA.
