Transmission would not go into reverse in driveway. Turned vehicle off and restarted and it went into reverese. I then put in forward gear and as I am driving down road the vehicle dies. No issue with shifting before today. If I put the vehicle in neutral the rpm goes up to 2000. I called Ford today with VIN # and they told me this vehicle has been fixed per safety recall 11s25 supplement #1. Vehicle is full of fluid and fluid does not have a burnt smell.
Please see attached letter and invoice.
You'll be driving down the street or highway and it all of sudden it loses power and the light that means transaxle problem has been detected and shifting may be restricted. Have system services immediately if light remains on. I looked it up with my VIN number and I know there is a recall due to this problem. I looked it up on a site and it said it hadn't been fixed and I called one dealership and they said they don't see where it had been fixed either. Then all of sudden when I discover another dealership that is closer to me a couple days later and decided to call them to see if they could get me in instead of the first dealership cause it was closer to my house they all of sudden say it was already had been fixed back in 2012. Which is bull cause I looked it up on a site and it said it hadn't and the first dealership also said it hadn't but now two or thee says later it's strangely in the system when I call the second dealership that I called cause it was closer. That is very strange and ironic that all of sudden it's now in system that it's been repaired.
My 2005 Mercury Monterey shut down while I was traveling at 65 in heavy traffic. After getting off the highway and restarting it, the transmission shifted hard and the engine missed.
2005 Mercury Monterey van. Consumer writes in regards to transmission recall notice and unsatisfactory customer service at dealership. The consumer stated the recall was performed on September 27, 2012. However, on January 7, 2013, the consumer experienced a problem with forward hesitation, and the inability to back up. The service department determined the problem was electrical and installed a new battery, among other repairs, with a final bill of $235. 00. On January 25, 2013, the consumer experienced the same problem again. The service department installed a new turbine speed sensor. Six days later, after the turbine was installed, the consumer experienced the problem again. The vehicle was inspected, and the dealer determined the transmission needed to replaced.
We were traveling normally when suddenly all motive force was lost. The engine ran normally,but vehicle would not proceed under power. It was as if the vehicle was in neutral. The vehicle would not proceed under any power either forward or reverse. There was absolutely no warning of the power train failure.
My wife was driving home with my three year old son when our mercurey Monterey lost all power and could not accelerate. This left my wife & son stranded on the side of the road. Now after doing a little research I have learned this is a very common problem with the 2004 - 2005 Ford/Mercury minivans. I am extremely upset with Ford motor CO. This should have been brought to our attention when we purchased the van from the Ford dealership. I went to the Ford dealership because I thought I could trust them to buy a safe vehicle for my family. I guess I was wrong & all they are concerned with is selling cars, it doesn't matter to them if they are safe or not. If there is any information of Ford covering the repairs on these vehicles please let me know. Times are tough & I really can't afford to replace the transmission in this van.
Vehicle exhibited no transmission issues and was driving completely fine with no warning lights. I was entering the on ramp to I-95 when the car stopped accelerating when it should have shifted to second gear. When I pulled the vehicle over it acted like it was in neutral no matter what gear it was actually in. This could have been a horrible accident if it happened while I was on the interstate.
My wife and I had driven over to melbourne, FL on oct. 15 to attend grandson's wedding oct. 16. Due to my parkinson's disease my wife was driving us around the area on Sunday to see things since we used to live in melbourne. Right in front of our old church the van just stopped its forward motion and we were barely able to get to the side of the 3-lane road. A policeman directing church traffic pushed us off the busy road where we awaited tow truck. Since it was Sunday no repair shop was open so tow truck dropped off van in repair shop parking lot and then took us back to our motel where we tried to get a rental car but rental car places also closed and we had to wait until Monday to get one. Had to order in pizza for dinner. We had to add two more nights to our motel stay, had cost of rental car for that time and the transmission cost us $2238. 11. If this problem had occurred the day of the wedding we would have been in danger because we had to travel from cocoa beach back to melbourne motel at 11:00 at night on I-95. Sudden loss of power in that scenerio could have ended up being tragic.
Driving n-I 275 suddenly lost power and had to cross 4 lanes to safety shoulder without causing an accident. Called husband to pick me up to take me to work. Then he had to meet tow truck and drive to dealer to repair van. To make a short detail of all the problems (this problem has happened 3 times since the first time ) (lost time from work ) (towing charges) (paying all for repairs ) (rental cars) (time spent to pick-up van,waiting for road services). Then told by Ford motor that most charges won't be covered.
