general problems of the 2007 Mercury Monterey

Vehicle was in motion, on a highway, in traffic at approximately 65 mph. Suddenly, it was as if the car was in neutral. I coasted off to the shoulder , tried to shift the car into gear, nothing! no reverse, no forward, 1 or 3. After sitting for about 30 minutes, I attempted to shift again into all gears to no avail. Had to have the vehicle towed.

Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Mercury Monterey. The contact stated that while driving at 45 mph, the vehicle inadvertently went in to neutral. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The technician stated that stork converter needs to be replace. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 129,000. Kc.

On numerous occasions, the engine in this vehicle would stall, cut out, or completely quit running while driving or sitting at a stoplite. On acceleration, the engine would stall or cut out and the transmission would feel like it is slipping. When the engine would stall or quit running, steering and brakes would become inoperable. On many occasions, this would happen in city traffic and on the hiway traveling at hiway speeds. At one instance the engine stalled out completely and would not start. On Nov. 6, 2014 is when this vehicle was first taken into the dealer for a maintenance check, which determined that the computer had gotten wet because of moisture coming down behind a cowling/deflector on the lower part of the windshield. The computer had to be replaced at my expense.
