2006 Mercury Montego Brakes Problems

“... We own a Mercury Montego 2006 two wheel drive v6, first time we. Bought it from a used car dealership I took it home it drove fine at the time it had 80000 miles on it went to my daughter's at night was coming home all the bells and whistles of the car went off acted like it was possessed scared me to death I pulled over shut the car off back on and went down the road fine, when I got home and park the car the car started to accelerate headed right to our house, I put both my feet on the brake to stop car from moving forward threw it into park, there is definitely a problem with this car”

“Recently had to pay a ford dealer $385 to replace the rear brake assemblies at 27,000 miles on my 2006 Mercury Montego purchased new in july 2006. Front brakes in fine shape. Evidently the designed rear brake assemblies are substandard for this vehicle. The rear brakes had not failed yet but were within a few miles of doing so, according to a ford service representative.”

“The right rear brake area emitted unusual sounds. It was noted that the rear disc brake was gouged. The part was repaired at the dealership. The Mercury Montego awd had approximately 30,500 miles.”

“The contact stated while driving the airbag light illuminated. Although the dealership and manufacturer were alerted, no repairs were made. The ABS light illuminated, the front spring brackets were replaced. Updated 04/06/06.”

“The contact owns a 2006 Mercury Montego. At 60 MPH on a clear day the vehicle suddenly came to a complete stop. The contact stated that the engine's rpms increased. The contact managed to pull the vehicle over and shut it off without ever touching the brake pedal. This failure occurred numerous times, including once when the mechanic was in the vehicle. The dealer was aware of it, but was unable to duplicate the failure. While driving at 70 MPH the left rear brake seized, forcing the contact's vehicle into another lane. …”
