2006 Mercury MOUNTAINEER problems and owner complaints

THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2006 MERCURY MOUNTAINEER HAS "POPPED" INTO REVERSE TWICE ONCE IT WAS PLACED INTO PARK, CAUSING IT TO ROLL BACKWARDS. IT ALSO ROLLS FORWARD AND BACKWARDS WHEN PLACED IN PARK UNTIL IT "CATCHES" AND FINALLY LOCKS IN PLACE. WHEN CLIMBING HILLS OR STEEP GRADES, THE TRANSMISSION WILL SURGE, AND WHEN COMING TO A STOP, THE TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT HARD AND JERK. *NM

MOUNTAINEER PREMIER AWD WITH JUST OVER 150,000 MILES. WENT TO RAISE REAR (THIRD ROW) ELECTRICAL SEAT ON DRIVER/LEFT SIDE. MAKES A SLIGHT CLICKING SOUND AND WILL RAISE UP ABOUT 1 INCH, THEN JUST STOPS GOING UP WITH SOUNDS STILL HEARD. FURTHER INVESTIGATION SHOWS A MOTOR IN THE CENTER ALONG A GEAR SHAFT WHICH MUST RAISE THE SEAT. THE MOTOR IS WHIRRING LIKE IT IS FUNCTIONING BUT THE SHAFT DOESN'T MOVE. THERE IS NO WAY TO MANUALLY FULLY RAISE THE SEAT.
