What owners wrote
Left front brake lines are too close to air conditioner lines. Friction caused brakes line hose to have hole in it & leaked fluid. Was applying brakes & vehicle did not stop quickly. Had it repaired. Took to dealer & was reimbursed.
1. Brake light came on and has stayed on for a couple of days. Car was checked out and estimated charges for repairs to front brake, including new rotor, would be $1000. I was not aware of the recall for 1997 monteros in regard to brake lines. 2. Service engine soon comes on at random and only goes off when the battery is unhooked and rehooked or replaced.
