1994 MERCURY SABLE Complaints

EVERY 10,000 MILES SERPENTINE BELT WILL SHREAD AND FALL APART DUE TO ALIGNMENT OF PULLEY, AND TERMINAL BALL BEARING THAT MELTED, CAUSING TENSIONER TO LOCK UP.

BOTH MOTOR MOUNTS ARE CRACKED ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE HEARD LOT OF OTHER SABLE OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH LOWER MILEAGE THAN MY CAR. THANK YOU. *AK

CONSUMER HAD TRANSMISSION REPLACED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY, THE TRANSMISSION STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS AGAIN BUT WAS TOLD TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT BE COVERED BECAUSE THE WARRENTY WAS UP, THIS WILL BE THE CAR THIRD TRANSMISSION. NLM

WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WOULD PULL OFF FROM A STOP POSITION TRANSMISSION WOULD HESITATE AND JUMP INTO 2ND GEAR BEFORE TAKING OFF. DEALER NOTIFIED, AND REPAIRS WERE BEING MADE AT CONSUMER'S COST, BELIEVED CONDITION WAS DUE TO FAULTY PARTS IN TRANSMISSION. *AK *ML

ENGINE BLEW DUE TO A DEFECTIVE DESIGN OF HEAD GASKET.PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION. *AK

CONSUMER WAS INVOLVED IN A 30 MPH FRONTAL COLLISION IN WHICH DRIVER'S/ PASSENGER'S AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS. *AK

WE STARTED NOTICING AFTER DRIVING OUR VEHICLE FOR A SHORT WHILE AND STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN THE VEHICLE WOULD ACT LIKE IT WAS IN NEUTRAL, AFTER ACCELERATING IT WILL KICK INTO GEAR. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE, THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THERE IS A O-RING OUT IN THE TRANSMISSION AND IT WILL NEED TO BE PULLED OUT OF THE CAR. THERE HAS BEEN A BULLETIN PUT OUT ON THE PROBLEM BUT NO RECALL. WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? MY VEHICLE HAS ONLY 50,000 MILES AND THE TRANSMISSION IS AS GOOD AS OUT. THEY TELL ME THE REPAIRES WILL BE AROUND $800. I THINK THAT IS VERY UNFAIR TO THEIR (FORD/MERCURY) CONSUMERS IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THEIR PRODUCT BAD ENOUGH TO PUT OUT A BULLETIN TO THEIR MECHANICS THAT IT SHOULD BE FIXED AT THEIR COST! CAN YOU HELP?*AK

WIRE TO STARTER CORRODED, DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, A KIT CAN BE PROVIDE TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY THE DEALERS

WHILE DRIVING FRONT COIL SPRING BROKE, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO DROP ONTO THE FRAME. VEHICLE HAS BEEN REPAIRED BY A PRIVATE MECHANIC. MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WILL BE NOTIFIED. *AK
