2005 Mercury MONTEGO Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	977728
Internal NHTSA #	10509964
Manufacurer	Ford Motor Company
Brand	MERCURY
Model	MONTEGO
Model Year	2005
File date	01/01/10
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Instrument panel lights all light up and all the dials drop to zero, traction control goes out which causes a huge safety issue in winter driving. Speedometer, tack, fuel gauge, and engine temp all set to zero. Automatic door locks inop, lights on interior gear shift go out. At first this would happen intermittently - approximately 2 to 3 times a month for a few seconds and then progressively got worse with time to total failure. Every time i tried to bring it into the dealer i was told they couldn't figure out what was happening because the vehicle would "act fine" for them. After several trips to the dealership and a lot of research on the issue i find out ford knows its a problem and issued a tsb 06-17-9 on it but is failing to stand behind their product and issue a recall. What is it going to take a few deaths? I would never buy another ford product due to their lack of customer service and concerns with the safety of their product.
