What owners say
Since we have purchased this car its been nothing but problems. The first thing was the blower for the heater and air conditioner was making a loud rattling noise.then the brain for the transmission went out and would not allow the car to shift automatically. Next, the power steering pump leaked ,so that had to be repaired. Then , here comes a good one...the front left rotor and calipor went bad..now this is even better,two weeks ago on the 11th of january, the 2 rear coil springs broke without warning, almost causing my wife to loose control of the car. This also caused the rear brakes to seize up and warp the rotors and calipors. I informed ford of the problem and they responded "thank you for letting us know of your problems, this will help us build better products in the future." we have a case id # 189341, this is the number ford gave us. Thank you for listening to our problems, hopefully you can help us and many others that have had similar problems get some real results!!s
While driving vehicle would stall at any given time, and speed when shifting gears. Transmission was replaced by mechanic.
This mercury mystique has been a problem from the first time I drove it. All of the recalls were serviced by the dealer but I also experienced both front struts breaking, the front spring breaking, the front rotors cracking and the list goes on. The last straw was when the transmission failed at 74,000. The complete unit was replaced at a cost of over $2,000!! I've read the list of complaints on the 95' mystique and it's makes me want to cry. I will never by a ford product again.
I first told the dealer of a small leak. They said it was nothing. I've had nothing but problems with this car and ford refuses to address the problems. I know of many people who have had similar problems. I should not be paying $3,000 for a new transmission for a car that only has 43,594 miles on it. The government should do something about this ongoing problem. The consumer shouldn't be raped by manufacturers lack of interest in making vehicles that will last past 50,000 miles when they ask for tens of thousands up front for their product. Please help!!!!!!
