This Problem Across All Years
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 ? *TR

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. *JB

THE PASSENGER'S SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER EXTENDS INTO THE DRIVER'S FIELD OF VISION.
