One problem related to radio/tape cd player has been reported for the 1998 Mercury Mystique. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Daughter (16 years old) getting in back seat with her flute case pressed up against speaker grill with the case. This was enough to crack the speaker grill. I have not informed the dealer yet, as I have a scheduled appointment next month for service and will bring it up at that time. This speaker grill may have had a crack in it when purchased or these are very brittle. I have heard that other people are having similar problems with the plastic components in this car. There is a TSB for this already on this site.
