Just today, the instrument cluster went off again, ... Read More...

All four gages in the instrument cluster (Tach, speedometer, fuel and temperature)will fall down to "zero" while the vehicle is in operation. They will return to normal within 5 to 30 seconds. This might happen 5 times or more within a 5 minute span. I have also noticed that sometimes the electronic read out witch I always keep at the "MPG" screen will sometimes ... Read More...

Well - hopefully, this will be a one-shot deal, per the warranty replacement program. Seems like the factory rear brakes were stored in damp conditions, which caused the problem. I just had my done last week under warranty at about 33,000 miles. The rotors were OK, so they just turned them to clean them up and put the new pads on. Here's the warranty letter if you ...

Just call your Mercury dealer,just had new rear brakes put in for free fro Ford,theres a bulletin out,I dont have it avail. but its a no brainer. The brakes are made of Organic material from a distributer and are wearing quick so Fords replacing them at no cost to consumer. Just plan to hang aroun,it will take them a couple of hours to change brakes and turn the rotors. Read More...

Every time I see Ford 500 I feel sorry for Ford. How they could imagine that this thing could put world on the fire? It is a stretch to say though that Montegos sales have collapsed. You can say the same about 500. It has nothing to do with Mercury as a marque. Just compare (from Autosite.com): Make Model YTD 2006 YTD 2005 Ford Five Hundred 62,028 75,146 Mercury Montego ...
