| Tl- the contact owns a 2005 mercury monterey. the contact was driving approximately 25 mph when the vehicle suddenly accelerates. the contact depressed the brakes but the vehicle would not respond. after utilizing the parking brake, the vehicle stalled. the vehicle was towed to the dealer for diagnostics. the technician stated that water had entered the wiring of the computer system and caused the failure. the technician dried the wiring but the failure recurred. the vehicle was towed to the dealer again, where the technicians replaced the computer but the contact continued to experience the failure. there was also a failure with the rear passenger side sliding door, which would sporadically open with the vehicle parked and the key removed from the ignition. in addition, the fuel level gauge displayed an inaccurate amount of fuel and all of the instrument panel lights were illuminated. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 17,000. kmj | |||

| My 2005 mercury van died without warning and after taking it in for repair, was informed it was the pcm module or computer that failed due to moisture. the cost of repairs is $962 and the module design is defective allowing moisture to cause the part to fail. the part is mounted in the front cowl and not protected nor sealed from weather. research has shown that this is a widespread problem on this model and many horrific safety incidents have happened with the van's failure. ford should be held accountable for this defect! | |||

| The computer system in the van has malfunctioned in the exact same way twice. it says the rear sliding door is open when it is, in fact, closed. it also beeps for 60 seconds every time you stop and start going again. this has already been taken in and repaired twice. it is more than a hassle for us to get the van in to be repaired due to having infants and working a very strict schedule in the military... which is why we bought a new vehicle. *jb | |||
