| My 2006 mercury mountaineer has intermittently jolted or lurched forward when stopping for lights and stop signs after speeds over 30 mph. hasn't gotten away from me but feels as if i am going to hit something or someone ahead of me. extremely scary when people are in cross walk. i took my car to the ford dealer shortly after buying it used. the dealer checked it out and denied it was happening. that was years ago and tonight i saw numerous complaints on another website about this problem. was looking because now i am getting a grinding noise from my wheels which persists after a brake job that didn't fix it as i thought. both problems are separate but i see a pattern of them on this vehicle now. | |||
