Mercury Montego Reliability through March 31, 2013
General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.
New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

2007 Mercury Montego 4dr Sedan
203-horsepower 3.0L V6 CVT AWD
| Mercury Montego in North Carolina, United States | ||||
| Month | Year | Odometer (in miles) |
Cost | Problem/Repair Description |
| Feb | 2009 | 31000 | First odometer entry | |
| Aug | 2009 | 36000 | 0 | Rotors seemed to be a problem. The dealer's service department was not satisfied with the way the car drove after the rotors had been remilled, so the dealer replaced front and rear rotors under the manufacturer's warranty. I paid for new brake pads only. |
| Aug | 2011 | 60000 | 45 | The air conditioning did not seem to be cooling. I took the car to the dealer and they identified that the AC compressor was leaking, and replaced it with a new compressor under my 100,000 mile extended warranty. |

| Mercury Montego in Michigan, United States | ||||
| Month | Year | Odometer (in miles) |
Cost | Problem/Repair Description |
| Apr | 2011 | 55000 | First odometer entry | |
| Jun | 2011 | 56000 | 0 | Another rust under the paint problem. There have been two other repairs for this type of rust issue in other areas of this car. Very poor surface preparation. Have heard this is normal for this year and paint color. Not acceptable. |
| Dec | 2011 | 66000 | 80 | Corrosion under the paint on hood. Finally repaired while we had collision damage to the right side of the car repaired. We paid to have the mfg defect fixed as Ford Motor refused to participate in the cost. |
| Mar | 2012 | 68000 | 250 | Front brake pads were wearing down near replacement dimensions. The rotors were worn and turning them would not have been a good option as they would have probably warped shortly after the repair requiring replacement anyway. |

| Jun | 2009 | 11000 | 0 | Rear brakes on my 2007 Montego got very noisy - pads were worn down to the backing plates and the rotors were scored - new pads and rotors under warranty. |
| Oct | 2009 | 14000 | 0 | Traction control light started to illuminate regularly. Went to dealer who noted the problem, worked with Ford who suggested performing TSB on rear differential sensor. Part ordered. Rear differential sensor replaced per factory TSB, problem not corrected. Ford then recommended replacing rear differential control module (DEM). Part ordered. Rear differential control module replaced (3rd trip for same issue) - problem was solved and the repair was successful. |
