What owners wrote
Wiring harness in the vehicle failed and caused a fire that burned the car to the ground. I see that on the recall page that there is a recall that indicates that the vehicle could overheat and start a fire. This vehicle nearly burned down a house and another vehicle when the fire occurred. The fire marshall advised that there is a magnesium coupler in the steering column that once it ignites it is basically impossible to extinguish. Help.
I was told the wiring harness on my 1995 mercury mystique has failed. The car only has 72,000 miles. It started with the traction control and ABS systems failing. It has now spread to the engine and transmission. The car is now undrivable. My ford dealer told me this failure is becoming a problem on the ford contour/mercury mystique models. Is there any recourse I can take?
