Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Tranmission/torque converter has a shudder when shifting at about 50 MPH, I have done some research regarding this and have found 19 TSB's regarding the transmission/torque converter from jan. 1995 to july of 2003. This is on my 1995 Mercury Grand Marquis. I have contacted ford/Mercury and have been told the cost of diagnosis and repair is my responsibility. It would seem to me with so many TSB's on this problem there is a mfg. Defect involved, and should be fixed by the mfg.”
NHTSA complaint #10066355, filed 2004-04, 55,700 miles“Car jerking so that I took to reliable mechanic. He drove car and said the transmission is slipping. The mechanic said the transmission fluid smelled a little burned consistent with slipping of the transmission. The mechanic's recommendation was to wait until transmission completely failed since he thought the only option was to have transmission replaced. This 1995 Mercury Grand Marquis has only 34,000 miles on it. I had heard recently that many of the Mercury's and ford's had early transmission failure.”
NHTSA complaint #10075096, filed 2004-06, 34,000 miles“Vehicle shudders when shifting gears. This in an intermittent problem and occurs more frequently when there is low load on engine and when transmission is trying to select gears.”
