| 2006 | STRUCTURE | WATER IS ACCUMULATING IN THE DOORS OF MY CAR. *TR |
| 2005 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | ON JANUARY 8, 2011, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL OF MY 2005 MERCURY MONTEGO (SAME AS FORD FIVE HUNDRED) LOST ALL GAUGES: NO SPEEDOMETER, NO LIGHTS, NO DASH TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR ETC. THE BACKUP LIGHTS ALSO STAY ON IN ALL GEARS AT ALL TIMES. MILEAGE 78,000. THESE ARE UNSAFE CONDITIONS ESPECIALLY FOR NIGHT DRIVING. PER FORD REPAIR SHOPS, THE ONLY REMEDY IS FULL REPLACEMENT OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. FORD HAS KNOWN OF THIS PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL YEARS; HOWEVER THEIR LAST RESPONSE TO NHTSA ODI WAS THAT THE PROBLEM WAS їINTERMITTENTї. BASED ON THIS, ODI CLOSED FILE IN 2007 FOR NO їSAFETY ISSUEї BASED ON FORD RESPONSE. THE STATEMENT THAT THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT IS NOT TRUE AND THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY ME WITH DEALER AND BY MANY OTHERS IN ONLINE POSTS. їINTERMITTENT PROBLEMї ABSOLUTELY IS NOT CORRECT AND BELIEVE THE ODI FILE SHOULD BE RE-OPENED BASED ON KNOWN SAFETY HAZARD. *TR |
