Two problems related to dash wiring have been reported for the 1998 Mercury Mystique. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I came to this site looking for recall information to see if there had been a recall related to my problems with the 1998 Mercury Mystique. So far nothing too dangerous has happened, but I am feeling very unsafe for obvious reasons. One by one the electrical systems in my car are shorting out. I haven't been able to power down the passenger side window for quite some time. Then the radio (always faulty -- they were never able to fix it even by replacing it) shorted out completely on the incident date below. Then the interior overhead and floorboard lights shorted out a few days later. I'm concerned that the exterior lights and power steering are next. I can't get an appointment at the dealership to have all this looked at for another couple of weeks. I was checking the site to see if there were any related recalls or complaints. Thought I'd add a complaint because maybe it needs to be looked into.
Ongoing problem with electrical shortages, causing vehicle to lose power. Vehicle has been to dealer's shop on four occasions, and problem continues to occur. Also a fire orignated under the hood. Feel free to provide further details.
