Defect SummaryOn certain my 1996-1998 passenger vehicles built at the kansas city, cuautitlan assembly plants or on my 1999 passenger vehcles built at the automotive alliance international assembly plants, the rough surface of the heater blower resistor's stainless steel blades can damage the copper surface of the wiring harness connector. the damage could, over time, cause increased resistance in the connector and, due to subsequent terminal relaxation, result in an open circuit condition.
Consequence SummaryThe open circuit could lead to electrical arcing that could melt the connector housing material creasing the potential for a fire.
Corrective SummaryDealers will install a new heater blower resistor and a new wire jumper harness. owner notification began august 29, 2001. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact ford at 1-800-392-3673.
NotesFord recall no.01s22.also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).

07/23/2003107520101/10/1997
 My complaint involves a 1996 mercury mystique involving a failure of all interior lighting, side mirror adjustment, radio and clock related to a blown fuse #34 in the auxlillary fuse box. the cause was the overhead map light assembly which had overheated and the plastic retaining the 10w bulb holder melted allowing the metal bulb holder to slide in the molten plastic until it just barely contacted a negative bus in the assembly and blowing the fuse.it was a difficult problem to diagnose being a short was not present until the circuit was fused and then heat from the bulb would cause the metal holder to expand and short out blowing the fuse.i feel it appropriate to report this problem as i feel if the contacts had not shorted and blown the fuse and considering it became hot enough to melt the plastic is a potential fire hazard and i don't feel the assembly was engineered properly to support a 10w bulb.there has been, i believe, eight recalls to date on this model, several of those involved electrical components.*ak

 Took vehicle to a ford dealer for recall of engine cooling fan motor. they checked and said there was no problem, however a fuse was blown and they did replace the fuse. this tells me there must have been a problem for the fuse to need replacing. approx. 3 weeks later, without any signs, was driving to work and the check engine soon light came on. immediately afterwards the car stopped. the engine overheated and totally melted the engine components. the car had just been serviced. i feel that there obviously was a problem with the cooling fan and the result was exactly as the recall warned for the engine cooling fan. i have called ford with no results. i now have to replace the motor. please advise. what is my recourse?*ak

 Car has had increasing number of electrical problems...check engine light coming on. mechanics couldn't find what was triggering it after replacing the oxygen sensors repeatedly. other twitches (stalling, burned up turn signal module,) finally culminating in complete brake light and reverse light failure. took the car back to my mechanics, who replaced the signal module, and showed me the burn marks on it. they stated that they tried to get the brake lights to work, and found that the primary wiring harness was just disintegrating (insulation failures all over.) they called ford/mercury before they told me of this problem, and were told that ford/merc would replace the harness as long as the car hadn't gone over 100k miles, and was not more than ten years old (it wasn't.) dropped the car at a local ford dealer, who called me back to say that they would have been glad to replace the harness, had i found the problem prior to jan 2006. they promptly informed that they would be more than happy to replace the harness for about $2,000.00 i informed them that i'd be more than happy to perform brain surgery on them with a weedeater at no charge. i'll never purchase another ford product in my life, and i unfortunately currently own five. *nm

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - WIRING - REAR COMPARTMENT/TRUNK
07/14/1999607/01/1997
 The other problems, the trunk having water damage due to a severe leak, my electrical system is no good. i have a loose rod underneath car apart of the steering/ i drove around without the car being properly inspected and registered/ no admission sticker/engine makes this weird sound a rattling noise/ driving on the highway between 45-50 sometimes at no given moment the car will take off up the highway/ when you put car in gear it jerks so hard you think the car has broken down. the fuel tank does not pass inspection. the speakers and radio has also never played properly. i tryed and have been trying for the last 2 years and 3 months plus. when i found out all the things were going on i was very furious because these people knew that i was disabled, with a terrible injury, this was why i was trading in my car because it had over 100,000 miles and i needed something extra dependable. i voiced this to them, because i had trouble getting around. i have tryed many times to resolve this and nothing has been done from the dealership to rectify this. they told me alot of lies to stall me during the window to return the car. i was told that only the salesman that sold me the car could do the paperwork on the return, then i was told this same salesman had gone to work elsewhere. i was told then that the manager was on vacation and only he could do this. i left message for the owner to call me. i was put on hold for long periods of time. left on hold, hung up on. the service manager was so rude to me about fixing the recalls he brought me to tears all three times that i called. he was very mean to me and told me he did not care what ford had sent out about recalls he was not going to put my car up unless i paid for it. and, that if he put it up and fixed it i would not get my vehicle until he was paid for it. at that point i made up my mind not to go there and be humiliated again. the dates 07/14/1999 are actually 07/14/1997, (mistake) there's more no room!
