| Description of the problem | At 105000 miles the transmission on my 2005 mercury monterey van quit on i-80 cruising at 70mph... For no reason the vehicle lost power and would not accelerate... Had to be towed to shop and am told $3000 in repairs.. Ford has known about this bad transmission for 5 years and nothing has been done.... Why??? I now discover that several hundred people have filed the same complaint and as many as 205,000 vehicles may have this problem which i understand is a possible bad torque converter shaft.... I am really upset with ford as this the 4th vehicle i have purchased from them with faulty transmissions.... |
