| Description of the problem | I have a 2006 mercury montego awd. At slow speeds the transmission seems to lurch in both drive and reverse. It has been doing this since brand new. It has 65,000 miles on it now and it seems to be worsening with age. On october 20th, 2010 the slow speed lurch in reverse caused the vehicle to back into a pole causing body damage to the decklid and bumper. |
