#97 of 182 2005 Mercury Montego by john223 Jan 25, 2008 (10:48 am)
I heard that a recall (?) or something to that effect was out for rear brakes & rotors on the Montego and Ford 500. Anyone have any info regarding this? Replies to this message: kringwood (Feb 07, 2008 1:30 pm)
#98 of 182 Heated Seat not working by andreej Jan 25, 2008 (3:21 pm)
we bought a used 06' 500 limited about 3 weeks ago and the drivers side heated seat has stopped working. The lights on the switch still light up and the passenger side works fine. I checked the fuse (but it appears both sides are on the same fuse so that wouldn't be it anyway). It is out of warranty. I'm fairly handy with a meter and would like to do some troubleshooting myself before I bring it in to a dealer but I have no idea where to start? Has anyone had any problems with theirs? Any idea where I could find a wiring diagram for the car??   thanks!! Replies to this message: sejones3 (Nov 23, 2008 7:08 pm) 54brian (Oct 12, 2009 7:59 am) Mr_Shiftright (Oct 12, 2009 8:10 am)

The brakes are made of Organic material from a distributer and are wearing quick so Fords replacing them at no cost to consumer. Just plan to hang aroun,it will take them a couple of hours to change brakes and turn the rotors.

Have an 05 Ford 500 LTD. The first LOF I had the dash compartment lid replaced. Had a recall early on for a gas tank strap. Then at about 20,000 they replaced the brake pads when in for LOF & tire rotation.   All in all it's been a pleasant experience. Nothing major and nothing that wasn't covered by warranty.

Replying to: tharroun (Jan 12, 2008 1:04 pm) The dealer told me yesterday that the problem was my transmission and they could not fix it-but they could replace it- for $5,000.   Have other owners had similar problems with the transmission in the five hundred?   Also- is replacing the transmission my only option?   Other ideas??

Replying to: tharroun (Jan 11, 2008 4:55 pm) I have a 2006 Five Hundred w/ 63,000 miles(company vehicle for sales-mostly local territory.) I have noticed this same "bucking" behavior, but only after traveling apx 2-3 hrs at speeds over 60mph(interstate travel.) One dealership told me they found nothing on the diagnostic test so I left & it drove fine for another month of local, low-speed travel. Then on my next long distance trip, the same thing happens after apx 2 1/2 hrs on the road. It "bucks", then loses speed(pressing the gas peddle does nothing),then the steering locks up as it is losing power. The battery & check engine light comes on at the very end. It will re-crank but then the same thing happens. A different Ford dealsership told me it was a clogged fuel filter & replaced that and sent me on my way. Then after driving 3 hrs, the same thing happened. I coasted in to a 3rd Ford dealership & that is where I am now. I was wondering if you ever found out what your problem was?? This car was great until it hit 50K miles, I have sense had a new transmission installed & this has been the next problem. Any advice???

Replying to: beachgirl11 (Apr 06, 2008 10:51 am) I just got my car back after a week at Aamco. They tested just about everything and determined it was NOT the transmission as the dealer had suggested.   They tested the computer and it was fine. Since they re-installed the computer, they could not replicate the problem(s).   I am hoping it was a connection issue. So far-so good.   Let me know how your issue turns out.

Replying to: tharroun (Apr 09, 2008 4:12 pm) THey kept my car for 2 days & told me it was the Fuel Pump. I recently ran in to a friend w/ a Mercury & she had the same issue & hers was the fuel pump as well so I am hoping it is repaired for good. It has been fine all day but I have only done local travel. Good luck. fyi- at 50K miles I had to have the transmission replaced so I really cant wait to get rid of this car!!!! but it does ride well when all is ok and I love all of the storage.

Replying to: beachgirl11 (Apr 09, 2008 5:12 pm) The fuel pump might be a good idea except for the bucking when braking. Hopefully, all is good for now.

Replying to: tharroun (Jan 11, 2008 4:55 pm) My 2005 500 had this problem which was caused by a sticking valve in the transmission which had to be replaced. I had an extended warranty and my Ford dealer covered the deductible to keep me happy. This is a known problem - something to do with the transmission fluid.
