Description of the problem	2004 mercury mountaineer, v8, automatic, awd. Vin du86w84zj23248, purchased august 2004. Current mileage is 22000. Mid december 2004 i started experiencing odd or rough shifts going from 2nd to 3rd. It started happening occasionally then it became more constant. I also experienced harsh reverses, one was hard enough that my husband said it could give you whip lash! What was ironic about the whole thing was i was going to make an appointment with my local garage when i got a letter from ford (january 2005) indicating a problem with the transmission fluid which might cause a harsh reverse. So i took it to a ford garage january1 5,2005, and they installed the additives. I drove the truck about 2 weeks after that and didn't feel it fixed the problem. I took it back to the garage and this time they said they reconfigured the computer. After i picked it up and drove it for a week or so, it wasn't any better. I'm taking it back to the garage again because it still has the problem. This problem is a lot like your other complaints especially #10103034. I think this is a problem that ford should look into before it causes an accident especially those owners that drive in winter weather. *ak
