. . . 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.
2006 Mercury Montego was issued a recall related to rear brakes. The recall was performed. 12,000 miles later the rear brakes need to be done again Ford issued TSB 07-5-9 for premature pad wear and recommend replacing front brakes as well to ensure proper braking. This is a safety issue since many who are unaware will just replace the rear brakes creating uneven braking performance. Spoke with dealership and Ford customer service. None want to take responsibility for fixing this braking problem correctly.
