| We have very little mileage on our mercury villager sport van and the paint is chipping. apparently, this should not be happening. it actually needs a complete paint job. we have never had a vehicle do this. it will rust if this is not taken care of. we only have app. 68,000 miles on a 2000 year car. *tr | |||

| Our 2000 mercury villager has 3 motor mounts that needed to be replaced. if these had failed i was informed that the engine could fall out. the car only has 65000 miles on it and has been driven for about 54 months (because we have 6 payments left). this is either poor engineering, bad/defective parts or a combination of the two. *jb | |||
