TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 MERCURY MOUNTAINEER. THE TRANSMISSION MADE NOISES WHEN DOWNSHIFTING AT 15 MPH OR WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE VEHICLE.

A NEW COMPUTER PART WAS PLACED IN THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTS. THERE IS NO REPAIR FOR THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 9,500.
TRANSMISSION JUKES AHEAD WHILE TRAVELING ON LONG DISTANCES AND SHORT. WHEN I LET OFF OF BRAKE PEDAL IT LOUNGES FORWARD. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE IN 2MONTHS TIME. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER WHICH IN TURN TOLD ME I MUST WAIT FOR A RECALL PER FORD MOTOR CO. I FEEL THIS IS NONSENSE BEING THIS MATTER IS GETTING WORSE!!! WHAT, I HAVE TO WAIT FOR MY VEHICLE TO DIE BEFORE I CAN GET SOMETHING DONE ABOUT IT?!!! BULLCRAP! THANKS TERESA *TR
VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION "CLUNKS" OR HARD SHIFTS, WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND COMING TO A STOP, OR AT LOW SPEEDS. SURGES AT STOP LIGHTS, OR WILL HESITATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PUSHED. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 1997. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES, AND THEY TELL ME THAT 1. NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION OR 2. THEY HAVE DOWNLOADED A NEW PROGRAM FOR THE COMPUTER. I KNOW THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG, BUT NO ONE WILL FIX THIS. NOW IT'S 4000 MILES OVER WARRANTY, AND THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE. SOONER OR LATER THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR
WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED THE SEAT WILL GO BACK TO ITS PARKED POSITION AND THE INTERIOR LIGHT COMES ON AS IF THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF. YOU TOUCH THE KEY IGNITION AND THE SEAT GOES BACK TO DRIVING POSITION AND THE LIGHT GOES OUT. *KB
