I was driving at 45 mph when the transmission jumped and lost all the gears. I was able to coast to the side of the road and shut off the van. I started it back up and was able to shift through all of the gears but would not move just rev the rpms. Had it towed to a transmission place and was advised there is a recall on this happening with the torque getting stripped. Contacted Ford to be advised it was not included for my VIN even though they are aware of this issue happening with other vans same year and make. Ford refuses to assist or cover this repair.
I have already replaced the transmission on this vehicle and do not want to incur the expense replacing another. With no warning the vehicle acted as if it slipped or popped out of gear as I was going down a fairly busy street. I had lost all gears. I could move the shifter but no gears would engage. I had the vehicle towed to my residence then to the repair shop. Not sure how many complaints regarding this issue you need before notifying the manufacturer to declare a recall, but I'm sure the complaints written on this site represent a very small number of people that have or are having this very same issue as the 2004 and 2005 model year that for some reason did get a recall issued. It is time the 2006 models were included.
My vehicle was inspected the same day the transmission went. My brother was driving it home from the (non-Ford) dealership, where he works. I had not had any transmission problems previously. This is what he sent "I made a left hand turn out of wawa into the center lane. There was no one coming so I gave it a little more throttle just to gain speed so I could get over into the actual lane. When I did this it almost felt like the trans went from grabbing to just "revving" with no power. I coasted it into giant's parking lot. Once stopped I tried all the gears and it would just rev up and not move. " a few days later I had the van towed to a local mechanic. He then told me that "the pump went" and that I needed a new transmission. He also told me to check for recalls because it might have one and it would be fixed for free, instead of paying him tons of money (which I find admirable). With just a little research I found the recall on the 04 & 05's (NHTSA action number ea09016). I sent him the articles and links I found to ask if this was my problem, he said yes. This minivan is less than 8 years and has just under 80k miles on it (manufactured in 2/06 but not purchased until the end of April). It's not hard to figure out that I drive less than 10,000 miles per year. It shouldn't need a new transmission! my husband's Saturn has almost 200k on it and not needed any major work like this. I fully expected to keep this minivan around for a lot longer than this. It makes me really sad to think of her just sitting in a lot of other non-working jalopies! I was shocked to see lots of the same thing happening to others here on this website with the same vehicle. Please help us! recall this model year!!! thank you.
My wife was traveling with my family on the taconic state parkway in our minivan when without warning. It loss power. The vehicle gave no signs of any problem no warning lights of any kind.

A search online shows that the 2004 2005 Mercury Monterey were recalled for transmission problem however not the 2006.

My wife was taking our 6-yr daughter to daisy scouts when at a busy three-way stop sign, without warning signs or symptoms, the vehicle would not move forward or take any power from the still running engine. Complete and total loss of all ability to put vehicle into any gear, including reverse. Had to be pushed off to the side of road by helpful strangers who exited their cars to assist my wife. We are methodical about servicing our vehicles at the dealership. No clues or indications of any transmission trouble before this occurred. Caused a traffic back-up behind her with other cars honking and swiftly pulling out from behind her and passing her. Could have been even more dangerous for her, and anyone assisting her, if it had happened to her on busy bridge, tunnel or interstate at speed.
