I purchased my Mercury Mystique new in November of 1996. I have always driven the car very easy, I don't even get on the expressway very often. At around 45,000 miles, I had the transmission serviced, which the owners manual doesn't even mention. Now, with only 55k miles, the transmission has failed and needs a total rebuild! although the car is nearly 9 years old, at 55,000 miles the transmission failing is not acceptable. There has to be some kind of flaw in the design for it to do this. *b.

I have a 1998 Mercury Mystique, andi think the transmission ought to be recalled because I have seen countles numbers of transmission failures on searching the internet and I happen to be one too , the transmission wen t out on ours a few years ago while the car was basically new, found out I had warrenty on it stiill got that fixed , now a little over a year since thenand it's went out again, but I have nno warrenty now which really sucks, so they has to be something going on with this model of car because there is too many transmission problems with so many people. Please write back and let me know something. Thanx alot.
