problem #1

Monterey 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 41,515 miles
My husband and I both lease Ford/Mercury vehicles and have done so for 30+ years. His current vehicle required rear brake work in April, mine in Feb. Of this year. His (a 2006 Ford freestyle) is now being recalled for that reason. Mine (a 2005 Mercury Monterey van) is not under recall, even though I had to have the exact same work done on the right rear brake in Feb. 2007. Why have you not directed Ford to extend this recall to all vehicles affected by this problem? until this is corrected, we will not purchase Ford or Mercury products again. We have never had to put money out of pocket for Ford vehicles before, and loyal customers are being ignored by Ford. Please extend the recall to my vehicle also.
