Re: Ford 500 Premature Rear Brake Pad Wear [jwry]

Written by: llama436 on Nov 07, 2008 06:54 PM

My pads on my Mercury Montego were replaced by the recall at 21000 miles in September 2007. Now its November 2008, I have 47000 miles and they say the pads and rotors need to be replaced! Some things not right. Anyone else had this problem? Ford says must be my driving! Also pads last only 18000 - 30000 miles today - I do not believe this. I never had a problem like this ...

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 ...

Re: SE vs. SEL [luvmbooty] and Malibu Maxx

Written by: fsmmcsi on Apr 24, 2006 07:17 PM

Perhaps I can answer your questions, since I bought a Malibu Maxx instead of a Five Hundred, Montego, or Freestyle (I also considered the Chrysler 300, the Dodge Magnum, the Toyota Tacoma, and the Ford Explorer), and the Maxx replaced my 2002 Mercury Mountaineer). I prefer the looks of the Montego, especially the rear, but from the spy photos, the 2008 versions ... Read More...
