2007 Mercury MontereyVisitor, Carlyle, IL, April 14, 2012 19:01We bought a 2007 Monterey a couple of weeks ago with 12,700 miles (yes 12K) and have encountered a few issues i.e. when AC or lights were on the left blinker blinked rapidly and headlights 9day running lights?) were dim (vehicle would turn off) - that turned out to be a ground to the frame was broken (cheap repair). Other issues include water coming in the right sliding door during heavy rain when vehicle is braking or turning left on flat road, windshield seal loose and hot/cold heating switch for drivers side not working.Flag ThisLike0

2004 Mercury MontereyVisitor, Philadelphia, PA, March 08, 2012 11:12I bought a used 2004 Mercury Monterey aprox. 9 months ago. It ran great! Then 2 days ago it started stalling while in idle. If you tried to accelerate it made a noise not quite a sqeeling but similiar. If you let the van warm up more then 10-15 minutes then take off if still runs beautiful. My concern is this started yesterday afternoon and hasn't stopped yet. Everytime I start it it does the same thing at first Stalls w/in 2 minutes yet it restarts fine. Another kinda strange little thing is the odometer light area is fine then dims so light you can see it. While the van is working properly if you do a system check everything show okay. No faults, No issues. What could be the reasoning? Is this a real F.O.R.D ( fix or repair daily ) type of car also known as a lemon?Flag ThisLike0

2005 Mercury Montereywadetanderson, Daleville, VA, August 01, 2009 05:13Good solid vehicle though inferior fit and finish as compared to Honda Odyssey or Toyota Sienna. So far has been very good on maintenance.

2004 Mercury Montereyroyc, Terral, OK, June 02, 2009 08:47The control buttons on the dash are easy to punch out by pushing the buttons. The air conditioning is unpredictable. Seems to pick its own time to cool or heat. Brakes wear out with relatively low mileage, calipers rust and stick.
