Five problems related to brake disc have been reported for the 1998 Mercury Mystique. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Horn does not work. Vehicle has been checked by dealer several times. Horn would work intermittently, but currently it has failed completely. The rear seat belts are inoperative. The power steering, alternator, and front brakes failed. The catalytic converter caught on fire.
Brake pedal gets and remains hard (pedal at full top) while at highway and then at local street speeds. Although this has happened twice and reported to dealer at service time (10/26/2000 & 05/22/2001), when it does happen it is constant. Feels like the brakes are activated, and sometimes problem causes the car to vibrate serverly , causing concern of possible accident. Dealer could not verify my concern at both instances.
When driving at various speeds during rainy and wet conditions,the power steering fails during the enactment of a turn. The dealership "cannot diagnose"this dangerous occurance.
Vehicle shakes at high speeds. When pressing brakes brakes shutter to a stop. Please provide any further information.
Premature wear of front brake rotors and pads.
