2005 Mercury Montego Premier review from North America
"Great car with all the features you can think of"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 36,100 miles, the cluster started to go out, all the gages would stop working, back lights would go off, for about 15 seconds then come back on, the the problem got worse.
I purchased the extended warranty, thinking things would be all good. Well think again. Took the car into a Ford garage, and had the cluster fixed, and would be under warranty. Picked the car up and paid $150.00 deductible. Originally the cluster costs about $450.00. Extended warranty's are nice, but with the hidden fees involved.
General comments?
This car is so comfortable, and a pleasure to drive.
