Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 1999 mercury mystique that i purchased new. in apox. 2001, the dashboard came loose next to the windsheild and bowed up. the dash was replaced under warranty. apox. 1 year later the dashboard did the same exact thing at which point the warrany was done, it still sits bowed up about 3 inches, thus impairing my vison while driving. i was recently told at my local ford dealer that ford knew of the problem, had a special kit to fix it and a program up to 2 years ago to repair the dashboard at no charge. i had no knowledge of this program when it was in effect and ford did not contact me to let me know about it. as the program ended 2 years ago, ford refuses to repair my dashboard, although they have admited to me that it is a manufacturing defect.
