| 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. *ak | |||

| Dashboard is separating from structure and raising upwards in front of the windshield. as a result, air conditioner vents are not functioning properly. dealer notified. *ak | |||

| 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.*ak | |||
