Defogger Problems of Mercury Mystique

My 1999 Mercury Mystiques dash board has completely warped. It has rendered the defroster useless. I was not informed of any recall for the defect. I now understand that the Lincoln/Mercury company did acknowledge a defect in the dashboards. What remedy can I expect ?.

I own a 1999 Mercury Mystique. The dashboard has come loose and warped significantly near the windshield. The plastic piece that surrounds the defrost vent has broken. The defroster no longer works sufficiently due to the warped dashboard being in the way. The local dealer told me they could fix it at what to me is a significant cost. I cannot afford this and it is obviously a defect in the vehicle.

See NHTSA action number : dp06004. Complainant vehicle (Mercury Mystique 1999) exhibits the identical conditions. Complainant attempted to receive repairs from an authorized Mercury dealer in 2002, was (a) not told of any existing Ford campaign involving the subject matter; and (b) was told that nothing could be done for less than multiple thousands of dollars. Since that time, the warpage has worsened to the point where the grill for the defroster will no longer stay in place, and defroster performance to the driver's side is severely undermined due to uncontrolled airflow through the opening to the defroster blower.

Dash has peeled back by windshield, defroster section popped out, as time progresses the dash keeps peeling back/raising up. . . Eventually, it will be too high to see over. (I am short stature).

I have the same exact defect as - campaign number: dp06004 structure visibility:defroster/defogger system:windshield:blower.

Well over the period of three years my dash board has been working fine until this summer when it began to malfuction and warp. Soon after my grill for my defroster popped out of the dashboard and and began to impropery defrost my windshield making it very difficult to drive. I recived a notification just after I pruchased my car about a defect in the unit but no recall was issued so the time of replacement had expired and nothing is going to be done because Ford refuses to pay for the parts.

The defroster does not operate ,making the ability to see the road difficult during inclement weather. Manufacturer will be contacted by owner.

The dash board of my 1999 Mercury mistique is warping to the point that my forward visibility is obstructed and the defrosters cannot effectively clear the windshield.

Heater fan motor is inoperative. Dealer contacted. Conusmer received recall notice 99m07. Consumer took vehicle in to dealer. The dealer wouldn't authorize the work because the problem depicted in the recall was still working. Now that it is inoperative the dealer won't fix because the vehicle is over mileage. The defroster is also inoperable.

Car is fire and safety hazard as well as child-welfare and safety hazard and Ford motor company refuses to talk with me about this auto. No safety defec tlisted. (tiresize: 205/60r15).

While driving with the defroster on high, the heater unit caught fire, flames came throught the vents melting the dashboard and visiors and cracked the windshield, the fire also caused the drivers air bag to deploy. Nlm.

When running heater or air conditioner there is a musty odor like mold coming from vents. Odor is so bad that it makes consumer ill. Vehicle taken to dealer numerous times. Dealer sprayed vents with chemicals and cleaned out vents. Did not remedy the problem. Dealer/manufacturer unwilling to assist in this matter.

While driving to work on 12-09-2000, with heater on, became very disoriented, hit concrete barrier, arrived 2 hours late to work, was taken by ambulance to hospital,, my CO-workers will confirm that I could not talk or walk properly, was very confused, checked out by neurologists, all tests results normal, said it could have been co2 or other fumes or odors inside car that made me sick. And totaly disoriented, by the grace of god, it was a miracle I was not killed while driving in this state. Due to odors inside my Mercury 2000 Mystique.

Starting in June 2000, when a/c was turned on, an obnoxious musty odor was present, then on 12-09-00 with heater turned on and driving 60 mph to work, became very ill and disoriented, later taken by ems, on 3-27-01, when leaving for work and turning out of drivie way, car stalled in middle of street and wouldn't start. Took to dealer fuel pump was replaced, dash was warpped and had to be replace because adhesive was coming off back of dash, fumes or odors from any of these components may have caused me to become totally disoriented which caused me to hit a concrete barrier while driving.

Dealer unable to detect smoke odor or fumes coming through vents at idle.

When defroster is turned on while driving vehicle loses power, but not to the point were vehicle has to be restarted. Dealer has been contacted.

When turning on the defroster in raining condition while driving the front window fogged up really badly in about 3 seconds. Consumer had stop vehicle because they could not see. Took to Ford dealer ,and they said it happened.

Defroster does not clear the side windows, particularly and rear drivers side, vision is impeded and oncoming cars cannot be seen in order to pass.

Dashboard is separating from structure and raising upwards in front of the windshield. As a result, defroster is not functioning properly, and windows are not being cleared.

Vehicle emits strong odor when heating/defrosting/cooling unit causing nose bleeds,burning sensation in person eyes, nose, throat.

The defroster does not clear side windows, particularly the rear driver side, imparing vision.

Engine light stays on. Owner noticed that hot air was blows out of ventilation even with air conditioning system.
