Mercury Monterey 2 Door Hardtop on 2040-cars
Eudora, Kansas, United States
1955 Mercury Montclair Two Door Hardtop Street Rod Project 1955 Mercury Montclair, 2 door hardtop. I purchased this car in the spring of 2007 as a basket case. Most of the work done thus far was accomplished prior to my buying the car. My intention was to finish it and drive it. In the past, like now, I have too many projects waiting in the wings that have priority over this car. The car is now rust free, but it has had some small sections of sheet metal replaced. The car appears to complete, but until final assembly is made, it is very hard to tell if all of the small parts are there. Some small parts may have been missing when I purchased it. Current Condition: The car is powered by a (year?) Ford 351 Cleveland engine and C-6 automatic with a new exhaust system. The car starts and runs, moves and stops but I have never driven it on the road. The mechanical work and sheet metal repair work are very nicely done. The front and rear bumpers, bumper guards and grill are all re-chromed and are of very high quality (thousands of dollars). They look fantastic. All of the bumper brackets have been sandblasted and painted. The engine runs well and seems quite responsive with no apparent problems.

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
Ford announces bevy of recalls, 2 of which are recalls on recalls
Tue, 04 Nov 2014
Ford has announced five separate recalls, affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
It's not been a great couple of weeks for Ford. On October 30, the company announced a 205,000-unit recall, and yesterday, it was revealed that the Ford brand's year-over-year sales were down over 5,000 units while the company itself was down 3,000 units over through October. Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
