Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I began having problems with my transmission shifting hard into gear. as speed increased it would jerk inot the next gear. i went to the ford/mercury dealership in montgomery, al. in nov 03.they told me it needed a computer upgrade that was different from what was on my car. at the time the car was still under warranty. the jerking stopped temporaryily. i began to notice it again. well now the warranty is gone, i did not purchase an extended warranty, the truck is 13 months old and my shift solenoid is gone. per 2 estimates it will be costly. but i am also told at the age of my car and miles this should not be occurring unless it is a faulty transmission. one transmission company has advised me that fixing the shift solenoid will not work long until the inner part of the transmission is fixed or rebuilt.
