JUST PURCHASED A 2004 MERCURY MOUNTAINEER TODAY. DRIVING HOME, USING CRUISE/SPEED CONTROL AT AROUND 30MPH AND DRIVING ON A SLIGHT DECLINE, THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. ALL INDICATOR LIGHTS WENT ON, AND I HAD TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT WITHOUT PROBLEM. THERE WERE NO INDICATOR LIGHTS (CHECK-ENGINE, ETC.) LIT UP. IMMEDIATELY WENT TO LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD NO CLUE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE COMPUTER DID NOT HAVE ANY CODES INDICATING A PROBLEM.. I'M CANCELING THE CHECK AND RETURNING THE VEHICLE TOMORROW. *TR

HERE IS THE E-MAIL I SENT TO FORD REGARDING WHAT IS GOING ON. : MY NAME IS LEANNE FREEMAN I OWN A 2004 MERCURY MOUNTAINEER,I HAVE BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION TROUBLE WITH THE CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT. I AM CONCERNED THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THIS TROUBLE I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND WAS ABLE TO FIND 25,000 PAGES OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME TROUBLE MANY OF WHICH HAVE MADE CONTACT WITH FORD. I AM CONCERNED THAT FORD KNOWS THERE IS A PROBLEM AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO FIX IT. WHY HAVE THEY NOT DONE SOME KIND OF RECALL I COULD SEE IF THIS PROBLEM HAD ONLY HAPPENED TO A HAND FULL OF PEOPLE BUT THERE IS OVER 25,000 PAGES WITH EACH PAGE HAVING OVER 50 POST PER PAGE OF OWNERS HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM ???? I HAVE SAVED ALL THE INFO FROM ALL THE PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO FORWARD IT TO YOU I WILL BE HAPPY TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME LEANNE FREEMAN HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/MERCURY/MOUNTAINEER/2002/TRANSMISSION/OD_LIGHT_CAME_ON.SHTML HTTP://WIKI.ANSWERS.COM/Q/WHY_WOULD_THE_TRANSMISSION_ON_A_MERCURY_MOUNTAINEER_KEEP_SHIFTING_HARD HTTP://WWW.FORD-PROBLEMS.COM/EXPLORER-TRANSMISSION-PROBLEMS.HTM HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F1C1B35 HTTP://WWW.GOOGLE.COM/SEARCH?HL=EN&EI=JSUKS6K0ENS0TGEIG4JJBW&SA=X&OI=SPELL&RESNUM=1&CT=RESULT&CD=1&VED=0CDYQBSGA&Q=TRANSMISSION+PROBLEMS+ON+MERCURY+MOUNTAINEER&SPELL=1 HTTP://WWW.CARSURVEY.ORG/REVIEWS/MERCURY/MOUNTAINEER/R65436/COMMENTS/PAGE-2/ HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/MERCURY/MOUNTAINEER/2002/TRANSMISSION/TRANSMISSION_FAILURE.SHTML HTTP://WWW.CARSURVEY.ORG/REVIEWS/MERCURY/MOUNTAINEER/R65436/COMMENTS/ HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F0FF573. *TR
