    FRONT LEFT COIL SPRING FAILED BURING BACKUP, RESULTING IN TIRE GOUGE AND FRAME BOTTOMING. LOOKING AT THE 1998 MYSTIQUES/FORD CONTOURS, IT IS A VERY STRONG POSSIBLIITY THE THE COIL SPRINGS ON THESE CARS ARE FATIGUEING , FOR MANY SPRINGS HAVE FAILED IN THESE MODEL IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. THERE IS MOST CERTAINLY A TREND AND THIS IS A DEFINATE SAFETY THREAT. SHOULD ONE FAIL AT A HIGHER SPEED, THE RESULTS WILL BE CATASTROPHIC.

    BRAKE PEDAL GETS AND REMAINS HARD (PEDAL AT FULL TOP) WHILE AT HIGHWAY AND THEN AT LOCAL STREET SPEEDS. ALTHOUGH THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE AND REPORTED TO DEALER AT SERVICE TIME (10/26/2000 & 05/22/2001), WHEN IT DOES HAPPEN IT IS CONSTANT. FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE ACTIVATED, AND SOMETIMES PROBLEM CAUSES THE CAR TO VIBRATE SERVERLY , CAUSING CONCERN OF POSSIBLE ACCIDENT. DEALER COULD NOT VERIFY MY CONCERN AT BOTH INSTANCES.*AK
