1995 MERCURY MYSTIQUE

I BOUGHT THIS CAR ON JUNE 22,2011. ON THAT DAY I TOLD THE DEALER THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS ACTING ERRATIC,JUMPING UP AND DOWN. AT THE TIME, IT WASN'T AFFECTING THE SPEED. THEY SAID THEY KNOW AND JUST WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. ABOUT A MONTH OR SO LATER,THE SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING, CAUSING THE CAR TO HESITATE A LITTLE. I BROUGHT IT BACK AND THEY GOT A CABLE FROM A USED CONTOUR AND RIGGED IT SO IT WOULD WORK. SO THEY CLAIM.I WAS ALSO TOLD THEY JUST REPAIRED THE CABLE DIFFERENTLY. REGARDLESS,THEY SAID THEY REPAIRED IT. IT WORKED AND I DROVE IT FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER 2 MONTHS OR SO NOW AND IT FAILED AGAIN. I DROVE BACK TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAY ITS A DEALER PART OR THEY DON'T EVEN MAKE THEM ANYMORE? I DON'T KNOW HOW FAST IM GOING,WHICH IS DANGEROUS AND AS OF TODAY,THE 9TH OF SEPT2011, IT DOESN'T WORK. *TR

FORD HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE THE WIRING HARNESS IN MY 1995 MERCURY MYSTIQUE BECAUSE: THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS VEHICLE EXPIRED IN JUN 2005 (10 YEARS FROM 'IN SERVICE' DATE. I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE NOV 2003 AND NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. FORD STATES A LETTER WAS SENT TO A PREVIOUS OWNER. I CANNOT VERIFY THIS AND REALLY VIEW IT AS IRRELEVANT SINCE THE HARNESS WAS NEVER ACCOMPLISHED ON THIS VEHICLE. IS FORD NOT REQUIRED TO LOCATE AND NOTIFY SUBSEQUENT OWNERS OF SUCH A RECALL IF THE REMEDY HAS NEVER BEEN APPLIED TO THE SUBJECT VEHICLE. SURELY FORD WOULD KEEP RECORDS OF REMEDIES APPLIED OR NOT APPLIED? THE DEFECTIVE HARNESS HAS RENDERED THIS VEHICLE COMPLETELY UNUSEABLE, IT NOW SITS IN THE FRONT YARD. I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIRS ON MY OWN (I'M A SINGLE MOTHER WITH A 3 YEAR OLD). I CANNOT SELL THE VEHICLE IN IT'S PRESENT INOPERABLE STATE. THE CRUX OF MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I FEEL FORD SHOULD HAVE MADE A DILIGENT EFFORT TO LOCATE THE OWNERS OF VEHICLES AFFECTED AND WHI

LIGHTS GET VERY DIM WHEN ENGINE COOLING FAN COMES ON. I HAD BATTERY CHECKED BY ADVANCED AUTO PARTS AND IT WAS FINE. I FOUND THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR A COOLING FAN ISSUE ON THE AUTOSITE.COM WEBSITE.(CAMPAIGN # 00V367000).. I CALLED FORD RECALL DEPT ON 8/16/05 & SPOKE TO DANIELLE IN TORONTO CANADA. AFTER GIVING HER MY VIN # SHE SAID THERE WERE NO ANY RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE EXPECT FOR 1 TO REPLACE THE FAN FUSE WHICH WAS DONE 4 YEARS AGO ACCORDING TO HER. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR LESS THEN A YEAR. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO CHECK INTO THIS. MY VIN # IS 1MELM66LSK610829 1995 MERCURY MYSTIQUE V6 2.5 LITER. THANK YOU JOHN SHEHADI. *JB

THE MAJORITY OF THE INSULATION ON THE WIRING OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT HAS BECOME VERY BRITTLE. WHENEVER A WIRE IS TOUCHED THE INSULATION FALLS OFF. THIS COULD CAUSE A FIRE BECAUSE SOME OF THE WIRES COME DIRECTLY FROM THE BATTERY. IN THE LAST THREE YEARS I HAVE CONTACTED THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY OR REPERSENTATIVE AND REPORTED THIS PROBLEM. I NEVER GOT A RESPONSE. AT THE PRESENT I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THIS VEHICLE, I WILL AS SOON AS I CAN. THE WIRING NEEDS TO BE LOOK AT BY SOME ONE. TEN YEARS IS NOT LONG, ACTUALLY IT WAS SEVEN YEARS WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THE INSULATION PROBLEM. *JB
