| 2006 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | I TURNED ON ROAD HEADING SOUTH AND INCREASED SPEED TO LIMIT OF 55 MPH AND SET CRUISE CONTROL. THE ROAD SLOPED SLIGHTLY DOWNWARD AND THE CAR WAS NOT REQUIRING GAS. THE SENSOR GOT CONFUSED AND THE ENGINE CUT OUT LEAVING ME SUDDENLY WITHOUT POWER. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER OFF THE ROAD PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTART IT I DI NOT HAVE A RECURRENCE BUT AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY. I TOOK CAR INTO A DEALER AND THEY RESET THE SOFTWARE BUT TOLD ME IT HAPPENS TO ALL CAR MANUFACTURER ON A RARE OCCASION AND COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. IF I WAS NOT IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE I COULD HAVE DIFFICULTY.*TR |
| 2005 | STRUCTURE:BODY | I BOUGHT A 2005 MERCURY MONTEGO USED IN 2012. STARTING LAST YEAR DURING EXTREME COLD WEATHER THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL OPEN BUT WHEN YOU GO TO CLOSE IT THE DOOR WILL NOT LATCH. IT WILL LATCH ONCE THE WEATHER HAS WARMED UP OR THE CAR ITSELF HAS WARMED UP ENOUGH INSIDE. THE CONDITION GOES AWAY IN ANY OTHER WEATHER. THIS YEAR 2013 THE SAME THING IS HAPPENING. IVE LOOKED ONLINE AND I SEE A FORD RECALL NUMBER OF 06S45 THAT TALKS ABOUT THIS CONDITION...DOOR LOCKS FREEZING IN COLD WEATHER. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY THEMSELVES AND THEY ARE ALL SAYING THAT THE RECALL IS VIN SPECIFIC AND THAT MY VIN IS NOT PART OF IT. WHEN ASKED WHY IT IS NOT NO ONE CALL TELL ME. MY CAR HAS THE EXACT SAME CONDITION THAT IS IN THE RECALL BUT FOR SOME REASON IT IS NOT PART OF IT. I CAN NOT GET AN ANSWER FROM ANYONE WHY THE RECALL SAYS CERTAIN 2005 MERCURY MONTEGOS BUT NO ONE FROM FORD OR ANYWHERE CAN TELL ME WHY THE CERTAIN PART OF THE RECALL EXCLUDES MY VEHICLE. *TR |
