2006 MERCURY MONTEGO
This model year
What the record shows
The 2006 Mercury Montego is the 32nd model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 1975 to 2007.
The federal record holds 85 owner complaints and 23 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
