This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The fuel injector harness has deteriorated; the insulation is cracking off of the wires. I have determined that Ford used wire with the wrong insulation; the pvc insulated wire that Ford used cannot handle the heat in the engine compartment. As a result the insulation becomes brittle and starts cracking, flaking off when the wire is flexed. This leaves bare wire under the hood. My concern is that a short in this harness could result in a vehicle fire. I believe all 95-97 Ford Contour/mecury Mystique cars are affected by this problem, even if they don't currently show any symptoms.
