I HAVE A 2003 MERCURY MOUNTAINEER AND I AM HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS NOW. I HAD AN ACCIDENT BACK IN JUNE 2009 WHERE MY VEHICLE ROLLED OUT OF THE YARD AND HIT THE NEIGHBORS HOUSE AND I WAS HURT IN THE PROCESS. ON JUNE 22, 2009, I WENT OUTSIDE TO WARM MY VEHICLE UP BEFORE I WENT TO WORK THAT MORNING. WHILE, I WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE OUT THE DOOR TO GO TO MY VEHICLE IT START ROLLING BACK. I IMMEDIATELY RAN OUTSIDE BEHIND THE VEHICLE TO KEEP IT FROM HITTING THE NEIGHBORS HOUSE BECAUSE I KNEW PEOPLE WERE THERE. I GRAB THE DOOR AND IT THREW ME ON THE GROUND SO HARD THAT I THOUGHT I DAMAGED MY ORGANS. AFTER THE LOWNDES COUNTY SHERIFF LEFT, I WENT TO GEORGE'S IN WEST POINT, MS WHERE THEY DO MY TIRES AND BRAKES TO CHECK ON THE BRAKES. THEY CHECKED MY CAR AND SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I WENT TO THE NORTH MISSISSIPPI MEDICAL CLINIC TO MAKE SURE I WAS OK AND I DIDN'T HAVE ANY BROKEN BONES. I HAD TO GO BACK TO THE DOCTOR AGAIN THE NEXT DAY ON JUNE 23, 2009 BECAUSE I WAS NOT FEELING GOOD. I WAS TAKEN TO BAPTIST MEMORIAL HOSPITAL ON JUNE 26, 2009 DUE TO THE INCIDENT AND WHEN I WAS THROWN IT JARRED MY ACID REFLUX AND CAUSED A VIRUS. I WAS CHECKED THOROUGHLY FOR ORGAN DAMAGE AND PUT ON PAIN MEDICATION. THIS INCIDENT COST MY INSURANCE TO GO UP AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HAPPEN UNTIL MY TRANSMISSION STARTING GOING OUT IN MY VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD THIS VEHICLE FOR TWO YEARS AND HAVE THREE MORE YEARS TO PAY FOR IT AND MY TRANSMISSION IS GOING OUT. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET UNDER RECALLS TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY AND I SAW 12 COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. ONE COMPLAINT CAUGHT MY ATTENTION REGARDING THE VEHICLE ROLLING OUT OF THE YARD AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPEN TO ME. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO STARKVILLE FORD ON DEC.29, 2009 AND WAS TOLD THAT MY 2ND SHIFT GEAR HAS COMPLETELY GONE OUT AND I ASKED HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN AND HE SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW. HE KNOWS BECAUSE I AM PRETTY SURE HE HAS SEEN ALOT OF THESE VEHICLES AND IT IS GOING TO COST ME $3500 TO FIX MY VEHICLE . *TR

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION KICKS FROM 2ND GEAR TO 1ST GEAR WHEN COMING TO A STOP. IT IS INTERMITTENT AND JARRING TO THE VEHICLE AND PASSENGERS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR REPAIR TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALERSHIP. THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS CHANGED AND THE COMPUTER WAS REFLASHED, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM WITH THE SHIFT SHOCK CONTINUES.*CN
