I have a 2005 Mercury Montego. It does exactly what others are saying. The transmission will buck when you slow down or speed up. It started around 45,000 miles. Ford knows there is a problem but will not recall so far. I pray they do before any people end up hurt as a result. I can not afford a new transmission and I guess they cant afford them either. I will not buy a ford again untill they resolve the problem which may be never???
