ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1995 MERCURY MYSTIQUE. WHILE INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE COOLING SYSTEM WAS BELOW LEVEL AND HE ADDED ANTIFREEZE. SEVERAL DAYS LATER, HE NOTICED THAT ALL OF THE ANTIFREEZE LEAKED OUT AND HE FILLED IT BACK UP. HE CHECKED THE COOLING SYSTEM AGAIN A WEEK LATER AND THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE HEATING SYSTEM WAS ALSO INOPERATIVE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME FAILURE AS MENTIONED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 00V367000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 38,800.

NHTSA complaint #10150419 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE TEMPERATURE GAGE ELEVATED WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN. THE VEHICLE HAD AN ODOR OF SOMETHING BURNING LIKE PLASTIC. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DISCOVERED EXPOSED WIRES LEADING TO THE FAN AND ENGINE. THE RADIATOR WAS FLUSHED, ENGINE PERFORMANCE ENHANCER WAS ADDED, SPARK PLUGS WERE REPLACED, BUT THE EXPOSED WIRING WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DISCOVERED A RECALL CONCERNING THE FAN WIRING. THE VEHICLE REMAINED PARKED FOR TWO WEEKS BEFORE IT WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL SERVICE DEALER. THE DEALER BEGAN WORKING ON OBTAINING AUTHORIZATION FOR THE RECALL REMEDY, BUT THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT AUTHORIZE THE RECALL REMEDY BECAUSE OF THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT IS THE SECOND OWNER OF THE VEHICLE, BUT THE ORIGINAL OWNER DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL LETTER. THEREFORE THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THERE IS A NHTSA RECALL, # 00V367000, REGARDING THE ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING. THE VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS AS INDICATED IN THE RECALL; HOWEVER IT IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE TIME RESTRICTIONS OF THE RECALL REMEDY.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
6/15/03 I DO NOT HAVE THE EXACT DATES OF PROBLEMS, BUT I WILL RELATE MY EXPERIENCES. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE USED IN 1999, THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH, WHICH ALSO CONTROLS THE SHIFT INTER- LOCK, FAILED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND AN OPEN CONNECTION BEHIND THE GLOVE BOX THAT CONTROLS THE SWITCH OPERATION. THEY FIXED THAT OPEN CONNECTION AND THE SWITCH WORKED FINE. THEN THE SWITCH PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. TRIED A NEW SWITCH AND THAT FAILED AFTER A FEW MONTHS. HAVE GONE THROUGH SIX OR SEVEN SWITCHES AND HAVE ONE NOW THAT SEEMS TO WORK. I PURCHASED AND INSTALLED NEW SWITCHES MYSELF AFTER THE FIRST ONE BECAUSE FORD WAS CHARGING ME ABOUT $15 FOR THE PART AND AROUND $90 TO INSTALL. ASKED SERVICE PEOPLE AT FORD AND THEY TOLD ME THAT SOME SWITCHES WORK AND SOME DON'T. ASKED ANOTHER SERVICEPERSON AT DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THESE STOP LIGHT SWITCHES RARELY FAIL? GOT A SERVICE BULLETIN FROM FORD STATING THAT THE FRONT STRUT SPRINGS COULD FAIL BUT NOT TO BRING THE CAR IN UNTIL THEY DID FAIL. GOT ANOTHER BULLETIN STATING THAT THE MAIN ELECTRICAL CONNECTER FOR THE ENGINE UNDER THE HOOD COULD FAIL BUT AGAIN DON'T BRING THE CAR IN UNTIL THIS FAILURE HAPPENS. FORD DID REPAIR A FAILED HI-SPEED HEATER BLOWER CONNECTION AT THEIR COST. I ASKED THE TECH WHY HE HAD TO RAISE THE CAR AND HE SAID, POOR DESIGN. POOR DESIGN SEEMS TO BE A COMMON THEME WITH THE '95 MYSTIQUE. BY THE WAY MINE IS A FOUR BANGER. I GUESS THE MOST TROUBLING WAS THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. NOT ONLY CAN THE CAR NOT BE SHIFTED OUT OF PARK, THE BRAKE LIGHTS WON'T WORK EVEN WHEN THE MANUAL OVER RIDE IS USED. NOTHING LIKE NOT HAVING BRAKE LIGHTS ON TODAY'S ROADS! THE CAR NOW HAS ABOUT 78,000 MILES. WHY SO FEW? DIDN'T WANT TO DRIVE WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS. I SEE THE '95 MYSTIQUE/CONTOUR WAS NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. I DON'T KNOW HOW SERVICE BULLETINS CONCERNING FRONT SPRING FAILURE OR MAIN ENGINE HARNESS FAILURE WHICH I DESCRIBED ABOVE CANNOT BE CLASSIFIED AS RECALLS. ROBERT SODERLUND

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
AT AROUND 50,000 MILES WE NOTICED THE HOUSING THAT HOLDS THE DRIVER\\'S SIDE AIRBAG COMING LOOSE. WE RECEIVED A COUPLE OF RECALL NOTICES ON OTHER THINGS SO WHEN WE TOOK IT IN TO GET THE RECALLS DONE I ASKED THE TECHNICIAN AT SUNFLOWER LINCOLN/MERCURY IF HE COULD CHECK OUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG HOUSING AND POSSIBLY FIX IT FOR US. HE CALLED US BACK STATING THAT THE BOLTS HAD SHEERED OFF FROM THE INSIDE OF THE HOUSING AND THAT THEY COULDN\\'T FIX IT AND THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY BETWEEN $300-$500 DOLLARS OUT OF OUR OWN POCKET TO GET IT FIXED. WE THEN CALLED LINCOLN/MERCURY HEADQUARTERS AND WERE TOLD THAT \\"THE HOUSING IS JUST LIKE A TIRE AND THAT OVER TIME IT WEARS OUT AND THAT WE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY REPAIR COSTS TO IT\\". I HAVE A MAJOR PROBLEM WHEN THE TECHNICIAN TELLS ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE BOLTS SHEERING OFF FROM THE INSIDE AND THEN BEING TOLD IT\\'S MY PROBLEM. THIS BECOMES A SAFETY ISSUE FOR WHICH I BELIEVE MERCURY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR. THE PROBLEM SOUNDS LIKE FAULTY EQUIPMENT AND THEY HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF DOING ANYTHING IN GOOD FAITH ABOUT IT.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
WHILE THE DRIVER OF THE 1995 MERCURY MYSTIQUE WAS OPERATING THE VEHICLE, I WAS IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT. THE CAR BEGAN LOSING POWER AND THE DRIVER KEPT THE CAR GOING. AT THIS POINT A DRIVER PULLED UP ALONG SIDE THE CAR AND YELLED "YOUR CAR IS ON FIRE". THE DRIVER OF THE MYSTIQUE THEN PULLED TO THE SHOULDER AND THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I IMMEDIATELY EXITED THE CAR WHILE HEARING A WOMAN SCREAM "IT'S GOING TO EXPLODE". I SUFFERED 2ND DEGREE BURNS ON MY FACE,RIGHT EAR, RIGHT ARM, RIGHT LEG AND ISOLATED 3RD DEGREE ON MY RIGHT KNUCKLES. I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT AN ATTORNEY BUT HE EVENTUALLY QUIT THE CASE. I DON'T THINK THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY MEDICAL BILLS FROM THIS FIRE. THE DRIVER WAS UNHURT BUT HIS CAR WAS BURNT TO A HUNK OF BLACK METAL. *NLM

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
LAST YEAR IN MARCH 2001 I HAD A RECALL ON MY ENGINE COOLING FAN. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT TAKEN CARE OF . THE CAR AT THE TIME WAS PRESENTING PROBLEMS WITH OVERHEATING, EXCESSIVE TORQUE, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS OCCASIONALLY COMING ON. THE DEALERSHIP (WAS LAPLACE FORD IN LAPLACE, LA) ONLY CHANGED THE FUSE FOR THE FAN AND NOTHING ELSE. AT THE TIME I BROUGHT MY CAR IN THE MILEAGE WAS AT 84000 MILES AND THE WARRANTY FOR THE FAN MOTOR ONLY EXTENDED TO 100000 MILES. NOW THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME WORSE AND LAPLACE FORD IS SYAING THEY NEED TO CHARGE ME AN EXCESS OF 450.00 FOR REPAIRS WHEN IN ALL ACTUALITY THIS PROBLEM (WHICH I THOUGHT WAS ALREADY TAKEN CARE OF A YEAR AGO) I FEEL SHOULD BE FORD'S RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR. PLEASE ADVISE ME IN WHAT ACTIONS I MAY TAKE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE? THANK YOU.
