The paint is cracked on the hood, unknown what month, about 1997. We never had it fixed. Drivers door seatbelt stays in the running position, it won't move forward, but it makes a loud motor noise, unknown what month, since about 1999. We never had it fixed. The seat belt on the right next to the middle seat fell off. We told the dealer. They ordered one. We went back about a month later they said it was too late to fix it. The transmission went out in about may of 1998, at about 120,000 miles. We had it rebuilt. It went out again about a yr later. We can't afford to have it rebuilt again right now. So it sits. In Jul or Aug of 1998, the motor went out. We were driving down the highway, and it started knocking, then quit. Also on christmas eve of 1997, we were going down the road and the thing sounded like all the rods were knocking. The temp gauge said it was over heating. We paid a guy $100 to bring it from edmore, mi to battle creek, mi. The next day we went out and started it, and it was fine. Our tail lights also went out, the Ford dealer fixed them. So needless to say, I will never buy a Mercury again. If I had wanted a Nissan, I would have bought a Nissan. I have a 1976 Ford chateau club wagon, over 250,000 miles. It has only had to have a transmission at about 240,000 miles. So I guess I am saying this Villager is a lemon. Thank you for listening, dawn green

Transmission would not shift into reverse and check engine light came on when taken to dealership after one week they looked at it and said that a spring had come loose in the transmisson and had made the transmission slip and then chew up the gears number 3 and 4 and reverse that is why it went out and the fact that they said it was defective and not well lubricated in the transmission that was why it went out due to no neglect on my part. So I need someone to look at the whole picture and see I had my van serviced by the same people who did the transmission so I did the maintenance how Ford told me to service it and I need a new transmission" and a spring went loose, and did all that damage to the van transmission ? I'm at there mercy of the dealership and then it 3 weeks to rebuild the transmission" so they had the car 4 weeks one (month) the dealership is san diego auto collection of mission valley in san diego ca.

EA00014; fuel tank vent hose leakage: When filling up the fuel tank, fuel would leak from the vent hose once the tank was filled completely. Owner replaced the hose, the protective cover and two clamps himself. These parts were brought at the dealership. The keyless entery does not unlock the door from out side.
