Description of the problem	2004 mercury monterey minivan. Complete, sudden, unexplained transmission failure. Vehicle would not move and made a high-pitched whirring noise when turned over, which was the transmission totally gone out. 90000 miles, bought 5 years ago from a dealer with 20000 miles, maintained excellently since then with no other problems. Our mechanic said he fixed 2 other vehicles of similar mileage with same problem in the last 2 months, unusual for our rural area. He explained this seems to be a common defect of this vehicle. Cost us $3000 to repair, not under warranty. The dealer would have charged $4000. Ford/mercury motor company barely acknowledged the complaint, replied with a pat reponse encouraging me to visit my dealer and find a new vehicle!, and that was the extent of their customer service. In googling this problem it seems there are many other people experiencing the same problem and i even read about a potential recall because of these problems. I wish i'd never bought this car.
