general problems of the 2005 Mercury Mountaineer

Started losing power ,did not want to go pas 30 miles per hr ,then it ramed up and came to a stop with no acceleration ,I shut it off then start it again and was able to get home at a low rate of speed while continuing to have these problems, another day while far away from home the engine rammed up again minimizing my speed as the transmission was slipping and not go fast then my o/d over drive went on flashing a light ,while the engine kept steady at 20-30 miles per hour while accelerating increasing no speed ,now my SUV will not run wright, it will kick into gear at times constantly and cause problems driving safely ,this is a common problem I'm hearing and reading in the internet with the Ford/ Mercury Mountaineer the manufactory does not want to accept responsibility with this problem . . . . . This is clear a recall issue that needs to be addressed before someone gets killed on the highway by getting rammed by a semi-truck which it almost happened to me !!!! a multi-million dollar law suit is in order if they do not acknowledge and fix this problem.

As I was driving the vehicle just died; all the warning lights came on and as I was losing speed I pulled over to curb the best I could. Restarted car and it seemed to run fine but happed again 20 minutes later. This has also happed 2 other times within the last 10,000 miles of driving.

My transmission went only after 1 year of having car, spend ofver $3,000 for a new transmission and now the transmission is going again. This is unacceptable. I don't even drive that much.

Tranmission jerking and jumping into gear, and reverse, roll forward in park on a hill. Liftgate has a crack around and under the symbol.

Without warning of any kind the engine quits under 35 mph, sometimes with cruise control on. After car rolls to a stop, it can restart right away. Loss of power steering and brakes. Dealer says no codes to back up complaint. This has as happened at least 3x spread over 35,000 odometer miles.
