1999 MERCURY SABLE Complaints

BRAKE PEDAL IS TOO CLOSE TO THROTTLE. DRIVERS FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS AT THE SAME TIME, ACCELERATOR OVER POWERS BRAKE PEDAL, CONSUMER FEELS THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. *AK CONSUMER STATED HE TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND HE WAS INFORMED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG.*SLC

WHEN STIVERS' BODY SHOP REPAIRED THE BODY, THEY FAILED TO REPLACE THE CERTIFICATION LABEL. THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE IT. WITHOUT IT, THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW WHAT THE CORRECT TIRE PRESSURE IS.

1999 MERCURY SABLE, ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT, TIRE SIZE P205/65R15, WHILE PULLING INTO DRIVEWAY, THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE FELT SPONGY. *AK DOT NUMBER P5UR4423900, CONSUMER STATES THERE WAS A SPLIT ABOUT 1 INCH FROM THE RIM AND 1/4 OF AN INCH FROM THE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE TIRE, CONSUMER ALSO STATES THAT THE OTHER 3 TIRES ARE DRY ROTTED IN THE SAME AREA AND SOME ARE BEGINNING TO SHOW SIGNS OF SPLITTING, CONSUMER IS REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT. *JB

INTERMITTANT ERRATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFT CONCERNS, ESPECIALLY IN THE FIRST TOW GEARS, PERFORMED SBDS DIAGNOSIS AND REMPVED PLUGGED VALVE BODY TO NO AVAIL. TRANSMISSION FLUID LOOKED LIKE COFFEE GROUNDS IN IT, ALSO OIL LEAK IN THE AREA OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD THAT NEEDED TO BE CHECKED.

WHEN DRIVING, I HAVE SEEN A FEW OTHER RECENTLY-BUILT MERCURY SABLE WAGONS "MISSING" THEIR REAR MIDDLE BRAKE LIGHT. THANKS! *AK

WHEN CONSUMER PLACED FOOT ON THE BRAKE THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT ANY DECELERATION OF THE VEHICLE, AS A RESULT THE DRIVER SWERVED INTO A DRIVEWAY AND PARKING LOT, AFTER PUMPING THE BRAKE A FEW TIMES THE BRAKING POWER RETURNED, A MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A MASTER CYLINDER SEAL FAILURE, AFTER THIS REPLACEMENT THE PROBLEM REOCCURED.

I'M HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE BRAKE ROTORS WARPING EVERY SIX TO EIGHT MONTHS.THEY USALLY TURN OR REPLACE THE ROTOS.I CALLED FORD IN DETROIT ON THE PROBLEM BUT THEY ARE SAYING ITS NOMAL WEAR AND TEAR.BUT IF YOU GO TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAY THEY REPLACE ALOT OF THESE ROTORS AND THAT THIS IS NORMAL .BUT WHEN MY CAR GOES OUT WARRNITY AT ITS 3/36000 MILES THE PROBLEM WILL BECOME MY PROBLEM.I DON'T THINK THIS NORMAL AND SHOULD BE RESEARCHED. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT FORD HAS HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH BRAKE ROTORS BUT THEY PUT IT OFF ON CUSTOMERS DRIVING HABITS.I WORK AT A COMPETORS DEALERSHIP AND DRIVE ALL DAY AND DON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE VAN THAT I DRIVE ON A DAILY BASIS.IF YOU COULD HELP IT WOULD BRE APPRECIATED... THANK YOU. *AK

CONSUMER STATES SHE ATTEMPTED TO PUT VEHICLE IN REVERSE, THE ENGINE FELT AS IF IT WAS GOING TO FALL OUT, CONSUMER CONTACTED DEALERSHIP AND VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR A TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL AND REPAIRS ON THREE OCCASSIONS.*JB

WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC GOING DOWNHILL VEHICLE STARTED TO SHIMMER. ALSO, VEHICLE SHOOK SO HARD THAT IT PULLED STEERING WHEEL OUT OF DRIVER'S HANDS. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED DEALER. DEALER REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE.*AK CONSUMER HAD THE ROTORS REPLACED AND NOW EVERYTHING OPERATES AS NORMAL, AS THE ROTORS WOULD HEAT UP, THE PULSATION WOULD INCREASE. *SLC

CONSUMER WENT TO START VEHICLE AND HEARD A CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH VEHICLE, AND THERE WAS NO POWER/ LIGHTS OR ELECTRIC POWER. CONSUMER HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO AN AUTO SHOP, AND MECHANIC TOLD HIM THAT STARTER FAILED AND WAS REPLACED. *AK
