2006 MERCURY MONTEGO Complaints

AC BLOWS HOT AIR WHEN VEHICLE IS NOT MOVING. IF YOU ARE MOVING SLOW OR STOPPED AT A SIGNAL LIGHT OR STUCK IN TRAFFIC THE AC STARTS BLOWING HOT AIR. IT WORKS FINE AS ALONG AS I AM MOVING. *TR

ENGINE REVS UP, AND CAR LURCHES, TYPICALLY WHEN: MOVING AWAY FROM IDLE; - ALMOST ALWAYS WHEN THE WHEELS ARE TURNED ALL THE WAY TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT AND THE CAR IS MOVING AWAY FROM IDLE. THE LURCHING IS SUDDEN AND "VIOLENT" ENOUGH THAT IT CAN CATCH A DRIVER UNPREPARED - THIS HAS BEEN AN OCCASIONAL PROBLEM FOR YEARS - PROBLEM HAS BEEN GETTING MORE FREQUENT. *TR

MY 2006 MERCURY MONTEAGO LUNGES FORWARD WHEN PUT IN DRIVE,AND LUNGES BACK WHEN PUT IN REVERSE,WRECKING MY REAR BUMPER AND GARAGE. FORD IS VERY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND DOES NOTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 MERCURY MONTEGO AUTOMATIC WITH 47,000 MILES AND NOW WHEN I GO TO PASS SOMEONE OR GOING UP A HILL THE CAR WILL EITHER FEEL LIKE IT IS IN NEUTRAL AND THEN POPS INTO DRIVE REALLY HARD. I DON'T THINK THIS IS NORMAL FOR A 2006 WITH LOW MILES. DID MERCURY EVER HAVE A TRANSMISSION RECALL ON THESE CARS. IF NOT MAYBE THEY SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. *TR

WHEN I COME TO A STOP MY CAR WILL LUNGE FORWARD AS I TAKE MY FOOT OF THE BRAKE. THE RPMS NOTABLY RISE FROM 700 TO OVER 1000. THIS HAS RECENTLY STARTED WITH 66,000 MILES ON THE CAR. *TT

OUR 2006 MERCURY MONTEGO LUNGES, AND SUDDENLY ACCELERATES WITH NO FOOT PRESSURE ON THE GAS PEDAL. IT IS CLEARLY A MISSED RECALL WITH ISSUES WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. FORD KNOWS ALL ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND SO DO YOU.....I AM NOT THE FIRST TO COMPLAIN! DO SOMETHING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED! THE FOLLOWING SITE EXPLAINS IT ALL==> HTTP://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/PAGES/FORD-FREESTYLE-500-MERCURY-MONTEGO-THROTTLE-BODY-RECALL/114094741973972?SK=WALL. *TR

SURGING OF THE CAR AT A DEAD STOP AT RED LIGHTS, DRIVE INS, STOP SIGNS. MY TECH, WITH ANALYZER WHILE DRIVING, COULD SEE THAT IT WAS IN THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT OF THE THROTTLE BODY. *TR

VEHICLE SURGED WHEN PUT IN REVERSE, VEHICLE LUNGED, ENGINE RAN ROUGH AND VEHICLE DIED. VEHICLE WAS HARD TO CONTROL WITH SERVICE BRAKES. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CODES P2106 AND P061B ARE SHOWING. VEHICLE HAS BEEN SURGING FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS, ONLY SLIGHTLY WHEN SHIFTED INTO GEAR. *KB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 MERCURY MONTEGO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE CONTROL MOUNTING BRACKET FRACTURED, DETACHING PART OF THE FRAME AND MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE ALSO CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE. THE CONTACT GAINED CONTROL OF THE STEERING AND WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE CONTROL MOUNTING BRACKET AND PART OF THE FRAME WAS CORRODED AND FRACTURED. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT BECAUSE OF LIABILITY ISSUES, THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

I LIKE MY CAR EXCEPT, EXCEPT FOR BEING SCARED OF DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY OR TRYING TO GO UP A HILL AND DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT PASSING SOMEONE. WHEN THE CAR'S ENGINE NEED TO SHIFT IT WILL SHIFT SO HARD IT ALMOST THROW ME INTO THE BACK SEAT OF ANOTHER CAR OR THAT IS HOW I FEEL IF I DON'T HOLD ON TO THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHTLY. THEIR IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION DRIVE SHAFT OR TRANS SYSTEM AND IT NEEDS TO BE RECALL. I JUST HAD TO REPLACE THE UPPER ROLL RETRACTOR WHICH WAS RECALLED ON OTHER MERCURY CARS EXCEPT ACCORDING TO MERCURY NOT MY YEAR OR CAR... COME ON..... YES IT'S SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON MY CAR AS WELL. QUESTION WHAT TO DO....
