I don't like paying dealer $75 just to find out why the engine light is on (happens about every 6 months). The electrical is a nightmare. Rear wiper quit working at 30k miles, the locks open and close spontaneously whether the engine is running or not. We have been trapped in the car for a few minutes while the locks were flipping back and forth on their own. My kids have gotten locked in after I put them in their seats and I walked around the car to get in. The ford dealer said the possessed locks are also in the 2002 models of their compact cars). I have put about $4000 into the engine replacing parts that have died before their time.
good but a few problems

I really love my van. The only problem I have had so far is my rear heating and air has went out and I have no clue as to what is wrong with it. My struts are now bad but I have over 100,000 miles on it. I hope one day to get a newer one with the double sliding doors.
Very Happy with Mercury Villager

Bought it new. Have owned it for 6 years. There have been no major problems. The only problems experienced are that the power locks don't always work on the passenger side, and for a short time period the rear wiper did not work. It started working again with out repair. No other problems. Braking is a little weak. Still looks great.

Overall it has been an excellent vehicle. (Thanks to the Nissan parts). Some minor issues with locks that have frozen and the radio control on the steering wheel occasionally does not respond. Knock on wood; it has 140,000 mi on it, no major problems yet.
