| Description of the problem | I like my car except, except for being scared of driving on the freeway or trying to go up a hill and don't even think about passing someone. When the car's engine need to shift it will shift so hard it almost throw me into the back seat of another car or that is how i feel if i don't hold on to the steering wheel tightly. Their is something wrong with the transmission drive shaft or trans system and it needs to be recall. I just had to replace the upper roll retractor which was recalled on other mercury cars except according to mercury not my year or car... Come on..... Yes it's should have been a recall on my car as well. Question what to do.... |
