My husband uses our mercury villager van for his work. He was going to a job and was traveling when he stated the van lost power, the engine actually turned itself off. He was able to get off the road before he was involved in an accident. He proceeded to try restarting the van. It did not work, so we had the van towed to our home. He check to see if the motor was tied up but it was fine.He changed batteries, because during the event, the battery was drained. After about 3 hours, the van miraculously started. We...

Why wasn't the 94 villager ever recalled for exhaust studs breaking off? This causes exhaust gas to fill the passenger compartment. I still have the rear manifold leaking. I measured 300 ppm c.O. While the van was idling. I can't afford to pay hundreds of dollars to get it fixed. *Tr

I have a 1995 mercury villager. On 6/6/08 I heard a noise and saw and puff of smoke. I went to check it and saw nothing. I drove it home and the next morning the passenger seat and the passenger door were burned up. The entire inside was covered in smoke. The car would not start, and the mechanic said that it was would be too expensive to repair considering it's age and condition. *Tr

Exhaust manifold studs broken. I found it when I wanted to replace the exhaust manifold gasket. In canada, they have worked aout a fix for the studs broking with ford why can't we this fixed for free. *Nm

Three exhaust manifold bolts on the front, and three more on the rear are broken off, with a increasingly more loud sound coming from under the hood. I believe they are aware of this defect in these vans, but require the owner to shoulder the payment of this expensive repair. This problem is very evident in the 1993 model year of the mercury villager and the nissan quest. *Nm
