Description of the problem	I am also in the group of bamboozled people that have the unfortunate experience of owning a 2006 mercury montego. Recently on a 90 mile trip about 40 miles in driving approximately 65 going up a hill i accelerated to pass a vehicle and my car suddenly and unexpectedly jerked and lost speed down to a about 45 and would not accelerate. The cars behind me had to slow down abruptly and were none to happy at my inconvenience. Since then i have had the same issue repeatedly each time getting worse. I can now feel the transmission getting week when i drive on the highway and its only a matter time before it goes out. This is a major safety issue as the you are not aware of when this will happen and the vehicle is difficult to control when jerking abruptly. Ford needs to do something. My car does have 116000 miles on it and i know cars are not meant to last forever but this is ridiculous there is no reason a properly maintained transmission. Should be having problems like this. I am certain this is a manufacturer defect. I went against my better judgment and bought a ford because i thought the montego was a nice car. I should have stuck with my 97 firebird that had 167000 miles on it, lost way less oil, and ran way smoother on it's original drivetrain and got 10 mpg better than this car. Never again ford! You should stand behind your products.
