2006 MERCURY MONTEGO Complaints

DRIVING DOWN ROAD CAR JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE ROAD WAS RUNNING JUST WOULD NOT GO.TRANSMISSION TROUBLE I GUESS FORD NEW ABOUT THIS I STILL OWE 3000 ON THIS CAR. LOTS OF PEUPLE WITH IS TROUBLE. *TR

AFTER THE ENGINE WARMS UP, UPON ACCELERATION AND THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING GEARS FROM 1 TO 2, 2 TO 3 AND 3 TO 4 THERE IS A STUTTERING AND OFTEN A JERKING WHEN THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING. THIS JERKING ALSO OCCURS UPON SLOW BRAKING WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS DOWN-SHIFTING FROM GEARS 4 TO 3 TO 2 TO 1. IT'S GETTING WORSE!! *TR

WHEN SHIFTING OUT OF PARK OR NEUTRAL, OR FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE (OR REVERSE TO DRIVE), THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD OR BACK WITH NO WARNING. THIS CAN BE A HAZARD, IF NEAR PEDESTRIANS OR IF PARKED IN A TIGHT SPACE. ADDITIONALLY, IF THIS OCCURS SEVERAL TIMES,(EG:PARKING) THE CAR WILL STALL & THE REPAIR "WRENCH" ON THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP. THE CAR MUST BE TURNED OFF FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE & RE-STARTED TO GET BACK TO NORMAL. THIS UNFORTUNATELY IS TOO COMMON OCCURRENCE. IS FORD WAITING FOR A FATALITY BEFORE TAKING STEPS FOR CORRECTIVE ACTION. *TR

PURCHASED MY 2006 MERCURY MONTEGO IN 2007. CAR HAS ALWAYS SEEMED TO IDLE TOO FAST. CAR WILL SUDDENLY LURCH FORWARD OR BACKWARD, SEEMINGLY WITHOUT PROVOCATION. I AM FEARFUL OF MY SAFETY, SAFETY OF OTHERS OR OF DAMAGE TO SURROUNDING VEHICLES/PROPERTY. MECHANICS I HAVE CONTACTED HAVE RESET THE COMPUTER, BUT THE CAR ALWAYS RETURNS TO THE SAME ISSUE AFTER A DAY OR SO. MECHANICS ARE BAFFLED OVER THIS ISSUE. IT IS ALMOST AS IF THE CAR HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN. *TR
