2003 Mercury Mountaineer transmission complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 42 of 42, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I began having problems with my transmission shifting hard into gear. As speed increased it would jerk inot the next gear. I went to the ford/mercury dealership in montgomery, al. In nov 03.they told me it needed a computer upgrade that was different from what was on my car. At the time the car was still under warranty. The jerking stopped temporaryily. I began to notice it again. Well now the warranty is gone, I did not purchase an extended warranty, the truck is 13 months old and my shift solenoid is gone. Per 2 estimates it will be costly. But I am also told at the age of my car and miles this should not be occurring unless it is a faulty transmission. One transmission company has advised me that fixing the shift solenoid will not work long until the inner part of the transmission is fixed or rebuilt.
