Consumer Description

I BOUGHT THIS MOUNTAINEER IN EARLY 2007 WITH 62,000 MILES ON IT. FROM THE START IT SHIFTED VERY ROUGH. IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY WORSENED UNTIL THIS WEEK WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF SECOND GEAR AT ALL AND WAS NEARLY BROADSIDED WITH FOUR CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE SHE COULD NOT MOVE. TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP AND WAS INFORMED THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION FIXED. FROM OTHER COMMENTS I HAVE READ THIS SEEMS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL REPLACED AT AROUND 75,000 MILES WHICH SEEMS FAIRLY RIDICULOUS, AND A BEARING HAS GONE OUT TWICE ON THE SAME WHEEL. THIS VEHICLE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE BUILT TO LAST. *TR
