| I have a 2005 mercury montego. i was driving at 55 mph in a freeway and suddenly the arm that goes from the chassis to support the left rear wheel broke right in the middle, or the joint part, leaving the wheel completely without suport which almost made me lose control of the car. at first i thought a tire blew up, but once i stopped i saw the bar broke in the center hanging from the chassis and the other part hanging from the wheel. going at 55 mph and having no control over the back wheel it was a miracle i did not end up having a serious accident. there is no part available, in order for a repair to be performed you have to purchase a chassis of the same model, or go to a machine shop and see if it can be manufactured. there was no sign before it happen, at the moment it happen it sounded like a tire being blown up and it may feels like such. | |||

| My husband was driving a 2005 mercury montego on a highway at 55mph when a jeep liberty crossed the median and impacted his car. it was a shearing impact, not a side impact. our rear driver's side door and that quarter of the vehicle was ripped completely off. the rear driver's side door was bent over double with the liberty's license plate wedged in the middle. our one month old son's car seat base was located in the middle of the rear seat and there were tire tracks where his head would have been had he been in the car. the only passenger was my husband in the driver's position. he has musculoskeletal injuries and a broken finger, but anyone in the back seat would have been massacred and killed. we were stunned because we thought the montego was a relatively safe vehicle. *tr | |||
