“My trunk on my 1998 Mercury mystique leaks water when it rains, passenger window switch does not work,my car has jumped timing twice in a month and was stuck on the interstate the second time and had to call a tow truck, had to replace the water pump and buy the timing kit twice. Not counting on all the recalls on this car when I bought it in 1998 new. The car is in my husbands name... Which is marvin minor. I really do like my car, but it has been a disappointment to me. 8nlm”
