Description of the problem	2005 mercury montego premier has been experiencing rough and bucking transmission shifts at 2nd and 3rd gears, very occasional shift into neutral by itself while in motion and accelerating and shuddering transmission shifts during deceleration or braking since approx. 50, 000 miles (25, 000 miles before my extended warranty expired). Dealer service was consulted multiple times. However, i was always told there were no computer codes and that technicians couldn't "duplicate the condition." therefore, i have lived with the condition since then. That is until this morning when i was almost rear ended and run over by a semi because the transmission shifted into neutral while accelerating on the on-ramp to i 95. This condition is dangerous. I see that there are many others with the same problem on this site and on fordforums. Com. It is a matter of time before this defective transmission fails to operate and causes a serious accident in one of these vehicles. Please, listen and take action.
