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.

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.

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.

Left my house and when stopped at a stop sign felt a jerk movement and lost brakes for a quick second. After pulling away from the stop sign and continuing down the road at approx. 45 mph the car completely started decelerating and lost steering and brakes then completely lost power and car shut off. After trying to restart it multiple times it would start for a minute then when put into drive it would die again after a few tries and had children the car I finally had to have it towed home. This is a very big safety issue that needs to be addressed before someone is killed!.

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.

While driving the vehicle at approximately 50 mph, the van simply turned off. Lost power steering and the breaks barely responded when compressed. Had to use the emergency break to stop the vehicle. Found the following p codes (p-0715 and p-0340). Took the car to the dealership and they had to replace the turbine speed and cam sensors. Drove the vehicle for 1 week and the same event happened again. I lost power steering, breaks and required the emergency break to stop the car. The p codes were p-0715 and p-0340. Also, during the second event I needed to put the car in reverse but was unable to do so.

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 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.

I was driving at 35 mph and all of a sudden my engine started revving and it was like I was in neutral. I coasted to the side of the road. The engine was running fine, I just had no drive or reverse. I only have 70,000 miles on it. It seems like this is a recurring item with the Mercury Monterey minivans. It's a good thing I wasn't on the highway. My car was towed to a shop where they told me the transmission is shot. I then towed it to a Ford dealer and am waiting for the damage. . . . .
