Consumer Description

I OWN A 2005 MERCURY MONTEGO FWD 6 SPEED. A COUPLE MONTHS AGO THE TRANSMISSION STARTED JUMPING AROUND, IT SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD NOT GO INTO TO GEAR AND WHEN IT DOES IT WILL SLAM REAL HARD. I BOUGHT THE CAR USED WITH 22000 MILES AND NOW IT HAS 52000 MILES. I'VE ALREADY REPLACED A MOTOR MOUNT BECAUSE OF THE HARD SHIFTING. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT IT MIGHT BE THE VALVE BODY WITCH IS AROUND 2000 DOLLARS WITH PARTS AND LABOR. FROM WHAT I HAVE RESEARCH ABOUT THIS CAR, IT IS A MAJOR ISSUE AND COULD GET SOMEONE HURT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FOR MY WIFE AND KIDS SO IT HAS NOT BEEN MISTREATED. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION TO START GOING OUT AROUND 50000 MILES. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON THE FORUMS THIS IS A PROBLEM AND FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO ALL OF A SUDDEN NOT WANT TO SHIFT RIGHT WHO'S TO SAY SOMEONE GETS HIT BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T GET OUT OF THE WAY IN TIME. I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED A FORD AND THIS CAR IS THE WORST. AS SOON AS I SAVE THE MONEY UP JUST SO THEY CAN EVEN LOOK AT IT WE ARE OUT OF A VEHICLE. *TR
