I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS THESE PEOPLE THAT HAVE ALL POSTED INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET. NOW I HAVE TAKE MY CAR INTO MULTIPLE PLACES TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RESOLVED, AND NOBODY SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I THINK SINCE SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT IT IS NOT OUR PROBLEM, BUT A PROBLEM THAT MERCURY AS A COMPANY NEEDS TO FIX. I AM HAVING AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH MY VAN NOT STARTING. IT IS A 1993 MERCURY VILLAGER. ON SATURDAY AFTER DRIVING IT FOR ABOUT 1 HOUR WITH MULTIPLE STOPS WHERE I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WENT INTO A STORE, IT WOULD NOT START. WHEN I TURNED THE KEY EVERY SINGLE LIGHT CAME ON, SEAT BELT, CHECK ENGINE, IT SEEMED LIKE 7 OR 8 IN ALL. THERE WAS NOTHING. WE TRIED JUMPING IT, BUT THAT DID NOT DO ANYTHING. LATER THAT DAY SOMEONE TOLD ME IT SOUNDED TO HIM LIKE IT WASN'T IN PARK OR AT LEAST THE CAR DIDN'T THINK IT WAS IN PARK. I TRIED STARTING IT AGAIN AFTER DEPRESSING THE BRAKE, TURNING TO ON AND MOVING FROM PARK TO NEUTRAL THEN
