| 2005 | VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES | MY NEW MERCURY MONTAGE SEDAN IS EQUIPPED WITH OVERSIZED SIDE MIRRORS-APS 2 HIGHER AND 3 LONGER THAN THE AVERAGE SIZE ON COMPARABLE VEHICLES. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AS IT BLOCKS OUT THE ENTIRE SIZE OF A VEHICLE WHEN GOING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS, NARROW STREETS, ALLEYS, AND PARKING LOTS. ALSO ,CANNOT SEE PEDESTRIANS, WHEEL CHAIRS, ETC .,THAT MAY BE WAITING IN THE GUTTER. WHEN TURNING, THE LARGER SIZE MIRROR REFLECTS CARS THAT ARE BEHIND YOU, YET APPEAR TO BE COMING FROM THE SIDE. IN EVENING HOURS, THE LARGER SIZE REFLECTS THE HEADLIGHTS OF VEHICLES, PARTICULARLY SUV'S, AND IS BLINDING. I COMMUTE 400 MILES/WEEK, AND FEAR THAT THIS IS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND CORRECTED. MY MERCURY DEALER SAID NOTHING CAN BE DONE. THAT IS IRRESPONSIBLE! SINE THIS FORM DOESN'T ALLOW FOR MULTIPLE INCIDENTS, I HAVE ENTERED THE MOST RECENT ONE. *AK |
| 2005 | POWER TRAIN | THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THAT COST ME $736.83. THIS WAS DONE ON 10/06/2010. NOW AGAIN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON SO I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE. I AM NOW TOLD THAT THE THROTTLE BODY HAS GONE BAD. THIS TIME THE ESTIMATE IS $950.00. MY MILEAGE IS 90,361. NOW A LITTLE MORE THAT A YEAR AFTER THE FIRST REPAIR I NEED TO PERFORM THIS REPAIR AGAIN. I BELIEVE A RECALL NEEDS TO BE FORCED ON THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY FOR DEFECTIVE PARTS THAT ARE BEING INSTALLED ON THEIR VEHICLES. *TR |
