2002 Mercury Mountaineer review from North America
"Mistake"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
As of this morning it is in the shop and will cost a minimum of $2,800 to rebuild this transmission. The owner of the transmission shop said this transmission is simply an inferior product and is used in Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles (18 models), and this is a very common issue with them. I will avoid this transmission like the plague while shopping for our next vehicle.
