Six problems related to car stall have been reported for the 1998 Mercury Mystique. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
My problem is that my car stalls when driven at any speed, whether I am stopped, turning or just driving. I have brought this car to the dealership to get fixed and they don't know what this is. This was accident related and my insurance said if it isn't accident related then I am responsible for the bill that the dealer will charge for looking at the car. Now this started happening when my car was hit in the front at over 40+ miles/hr. Am I protected by any law that will allow me to get this car fixed at no cost to me? I am driving a very dangerous car right now and almost got killed last week when I was turning off a highway and the car stalled, a rig was coming right towards me and at last second I got out of the way. This is very scary and don't know what to do for help! I was already handed a diagnostic bill for over $80. 00 and refused to pay because they never really found the problem. What can I do or who can help.
Unable to fuel my 1998 Mercury Mystique without frequent pump shut down and/or gasoline spillage. This problem began in November 2000 and became progressively worse until repairs were made on March 26, 2001. The problem was linked to a product defect - a sticking flapper valve (TSB 98-15-3). A new flapper valve was installed at a cost of $ 224. 26 ($6. 07 parts & remainder labor and tax). The replacement of the valve has corrected the problem. While it is fortunate that no injuries or significant environmental damage occurred in this instance because of the defect, a high potential for injury and damage exists.
Vehicle would hesitate/ run rough, and stall at any speed, and/or will not start intermittently. Vehicle been in dealer shop, and the problem still reoccurring. Feel free to provide any further information.
Ford can't seem to find a problem, they had my care for 3 days and gave it back to us, on the way home from dealer car cut out twice (stalled while driving). Called Ford next day had it towed again, still in shop, I had car for 1 1/2 days when this happened. Ford can not find a problem. . . And as if this date has done nothing to rectify it. We can not accept a car that stalles out while driving we has 2 small children that ride in the back of this care, each of the 5x's this car stalled out my children were in the care. . . We can not chance this. . .
Vehicle is stalling intermittently without any warning, causing a safety hazard. Consumer must restart vehicle. Dealer cannot determine the cause.
Vehicle stalled intermittently. When this occurred steering and brakes locked up.
