Six problems related to vehicle speed control have been reported for the 1998 Mercury Mystique. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When you have traveled 30mins/15 to 18 miles the car began to slow down/the speedometer began to drop even though you are pushing the gas peddle and the rpm gauge is waving back and fourth. It happened on 09/25/15, 10/08,13,14/2015. I was traveling 60mph and 45mph.
: the contact stated while traveling 70 mph, the accelerator pedal was depressed and the rpm's revved, but the vehicle did not respond. The vehicle was pulled over and towed to an independent repair shop where the overdrive servo piston seal and o ring was replaced. Five weeks later, while traveling 50 mph, the same incident occurred. The vehicle was pushed to the contact's residence and it has not been seen by a mechanic.
Received recall notice 99v194000 & contacted dealership. Was informed by mechanic no parts were available. Contacted dealership later & given same information. Was informed will call when parts were available. Owner is upset.
Consumer contacted dealer in reference to recall 99v194000/ mfr recall 99s19, dealer stated no parts available, Ford has yet to contact dealer regarding recall.
When driving at any speed and applying the brakes, there is a knocking noise, and the brakes go straight to the floorboard. Also, transmission is slipping, and consumer can't shift the gears. In addition, vehicle accelerates when driving or coming to a stop.
Consumer is disappointed with the number (6) of recalls that have been issued on this vehicle. Nlm.
