1 Air Conditioner problem of the 2000 Mercury Mystique

Failure Date: 06/02/2004

The air conditioning has failed twice in two years in a 2000 Mercury Mystique GS. While often considered a luxury rather than a safety item, I live in south florida were it is already reached 95 degrees. Last year a device in the dash had to be repaired. The mechanic said that this was a common problem with this model but that the company wasn't issuing a recall because not enough people complain. The new problem appears to be the air conditioning freezing up or with the blendor; the a/c is cold but barely blows, even when on high.

Failure Date: 02/08/2002

To whom it may concern, I have tried to get the air conditioner in my car fixed 6 separate occasion each about 2 months apart and I live in texas so an air conditioner is a must. I have spent 249. 00 each time to get the problem fixed and would like to know what I should do, I was told this was a very reliable car but it had a problem with the air conditioner when I bought it. The saleman that sold me the car, jim honeycutt, said that all I needed to do was take it to a shop to get the blower fixed at the lockhart Ford motor CO. Which I have done 6 times. Can anyone help me withthis, so I don't get ripped off anymore. Nlm.
