2nd Mountaineer owned transmission will not shift in low gears and unresponsive. Stalled in town and on highway at high speeds almost causing collisions several times after becoming unresponsive while driving.
Have sent a complaint recently no one has contacted me I've seen on line hundreds of complaints due to faulty transmissions on Ford, and Mercury Mountaineer esp 20001- thru 2012 models and had a 2004 last yr. I had to send to junkyard because transmission was bad and would also stop while driving esp. On highways at speeds over 55 mph many close calls and lucky I wasnt injured or killled due to trouble with transmission not shifting and becoming unresponsive to where it had to be towed several times when transmission became unresponsive now my 2006 Mountaineer awd has similar problems and every one I have tried to purchase as a replacement also has had problems with their transmissions failing so need some advice as to what can be done to correct these issues!. . . . . As in past I stated it fails loses power and transmission fails while driving on highway after slowing down or coming to stop at lights or stop signs it usually is unresponsive and cant get out of low gear and or completely will not go thru gears normally!. . . . Have heard only 2011 models have been recalled recently not fair in my opinion that no one has paid attention to the earlier model Ford explorer and Mountaineer especially in my case o4-08 have all had exact problems similar to my current 06 Mountaineer awd. . . . As severalmechanics recently refuse to work on it telling me they are not worth their time and no guarantees as they feel that they are all faulty from 02-2012 and all shuld have been recalled due to safety issues!. . . . . In my opinion I believe this shuld be looked into before it becomews the cause of an accident or worse. . . I am disabled and need a safer vehicle and in hopes Ford will make right by me and possibly look into and or see about a recall on my 06 Mercury Mountaineer!. Thanks for any time and help! referring to the unsafe drivetrain yet again I am having with now.
