| 1999 | STRUCTURE | TL*- THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE 1999 FORD MYSTIQUE'S DASHBOARD WAS FALLING FROM THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE. SHE WAS AFRAID THAT THE AIR BAGS MAY DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, OR THE DASHBOARD WILL FALL INTO HER LAP WHILE DRIVING. SHE HAS CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY INFORMED HER THAT WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING THE DASHBOARD UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE CONTACT FEARED DRIVING THE VEHICLE, AND SHE THOUGHT THAT FORD WOULD HONOR THE WARRANTY. SHE DID SPEAK WITH SOMEONE AT A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP, AND THEY QUOTED HER A PRICE OF $2000, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAD 29,000 MILES. *AK |
| 1998 | UNKNOWN OR OTHER | ENGINE CHECK LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING OUT OF TOWN ON CHRISTMAS DAY -- THE DRIVE HOME WAS UNSETTLING BECAUSE OF THE CONSTANT JERKING IN THE REAR OF THE CAR. I TOOK MY CAR TO MY MECHANIC -- IT WAS HOOKED ON A COMPUTER WHICH INDICATED A CODE 1744 INDICATING EXCESSIVE SLIPPAGE ON THE TORQUE CONVERTER. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE REPORTED BECAUSE THIS IS POTENTIALLY A RECALL ISSUE AND THIS SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. MY CAR IS BARELY 4 YEARS OLD AND HAS BELOW AVERAGE MILEAGE. |
