Ford had some problems with transmissions in both Mountaineer and Mariner vehicles in the 1005-2010 era before they shut down Mercury. I ,too, have an issue with my 2006 but it is just an annoyance. Yours sounds more serious. Not sure what can be done short of replacing the trans or trading the car though.
