1995 Mercury Mystique electrical problems

Filed Mar 16, 2008 · Electrical, Transmission · NV

On your web site I have found several recalls on 95 mercury mystique's one is regarding the AC unit and the wires burning up as well as a floor shifter problem causing the shifter not to indicate the correct gear. I went to friendly ford and they stated to me that my vehicle's VIN # was not in the data base as having any recalls. I can assure you that these two issues are in fact occurring in my 95 mystique. I have had it looked at by mechanic's and these two issues are in fact on my car and I need them to be fixed under the recalls.

I was told the wiring harness on my 1995 mercury mystique has failed. The car only has 72,000 miles. It started with the traction control and ABS systems failing. It has now spread to the engine and transmission. The car is now undrivable. My ford dealer told me this failure is becoming a problem on the ford contour/mercury mystique models. Is there any recourse I can take?

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 which were not repaired as part of the recall. I have contacted ford customer service by phone and e-mail and they refuse to review the matter further. Can you help me?

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.
