2000 Mercury Mystique Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“Dash has peeled back by windshield, defroster section popped out, as time progresses the dash keeps peeling back/raising up...eventually, it will be too high to see over. (I am short stature).”

“In march of 2002 the dash starting coming unglued and rolling up, which caused my defogger to pop out and not defog my windshield correctly. The car also stalls out when taking off from a starting position or changing to passing gear. The engine has to then be shut off and restarted for it to clear up. This will last about 30 minutes before it happens again.”

“Well over the period of three years my dash board has been working fine until this summer when it began to malfuction and warp. Soon after my grill for my defroster popped out of the dashboard and and began to impropery defrost my windshield making it very difficult to drive. I recived a notification just after I pruchased my car about a defect in the unit but no recall was issued so the time of replacement had expired and nothing is going to be done because ford refuses to pay for the parts.”

“While driving to work on 12-09-2000, with heater on, became very disoriented, hit concrete barrier, arrived 2 hours late to work, was taken by ambulance to hospital,, my co-workers will confirm that I could not talk or walk properly, was very confused, checked out by neurologists, all tests results normal, said it could have been co2 or other fumes or odors inside car that made me sick. And totaly disoriented, by the grace of god, it was a miracle I was not killed while driving in this state. Due to odors inside my Mercury 2000 Mystique.”

“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.”
