| I have a 1998 mercury mystique. the vehicle recently began running abnormally. so in inspection of this, i discovered that the vehicles acceleration is being raised without me even touching the gas. i was on the road and my vehicle was speeding up on it's own and i couldn't figure out why. it seems as if the cruise control is constantly on or something. *nm | |||

| Daughter (16 years old) getting in back seat with her flute case pressed up against speaker grill with the case. this was enough to crack the speaker grill. i have not informed the dealer yet, as i have a scheduled appointment next month for service and will bring it up at that time. this speaker grill may have had a crack in it when purchased or these are very brittle. i have heard that other people are having similar problems with the plastic components in this car. there is a tsb for this already on this site. | |||
