TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 MERCURY SABLE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP AS THE RPMS INCREASED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD OCCUR OCCASIONALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED PRIOR TO PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT REQUESTED THAT THE DEALER REPAIR THE VEHICLE BEFORE THE SALE WAS FINALIZED, BUT THE ISSUE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF THE REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

PURCHASE VEHICLE USED IN JUNE OF 2015, ONE REPAIR AFTER ANOTHER. OWNED 1YR AND HERE ARE REPAIRS THAT WE HAVE HAD TO DO: DRAIN PLUG REPLACED, TRANS FILTER, ADDITIVE & FLUID, RE-BUILT TRANSMISSION, FLUID, REPLACE REAR BRAKE SHOES, REPLACE VALVE COVER GASKET, OIL PAN GASKET, EGR SENSOR. COST INCURRED $3,275.20 WAY MORE THAN ANY CAR SHOULD HAVE IN ONE YEAR! ANYBODY GOING TO REIMBURSE THESE EXPENSES?

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE 90 HIGHWAY SOUTHBOUND ON 10 JUNE, 2016 THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING LOST FORWARD MOTION POWER AND THE RPM LEVEL OF THE CAR SHOT UP SUDDENLY. THE VEHICLE ROLLED TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY WHILE STILL RUNNING, BUT THERE WAS NO VEHICLE MOVEMENT PROVIDED IN ANY OF THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION GEARS, INCLUDING REVERSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP IN SPOONER, WI WHERE A REPAIR BILL ESTIMATE OF $3-$4K WAS PROVIDED.....REBUILD CURRENT OR REPLACE WITH REMANUFACTURED.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. EACH TIME I HAVE THE PART REPAIRED OR REPLACE ONLY TO HAVE IT COME AGAIN WITH A NEW CODE. I HAVE REPLACED NUMEROUS PARTS AND HAVE SPENT OVER $2000 SO FAR. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STILL KEEPS COMING ON. THE CAR RUNS GOOD. SOMETIMES THE TRANSMISSION ACTS UP BUT EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE WORKING FINE. I JUST CANT STOP THE CHECK ENGINE LITE TO STAY OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 MERCURY SABLE. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WITHOUT WARNING. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 142,780. UPDATED 8/19/15*CN

THIS 2005 MERCURY SABLE (LS PREMIUM) JUST FELL OUT OF GEAR AS I WAS ON THE ROAD. TOTALLY OUT OF THE BLUE WITH NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. I KNOW NOW THE TRANSMISSION MUST BE REPLACED FOR UPWARDS OF $1800.00. THIS CAR HAS JUST 30,000 MILES ON IT. I FIND IT COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A MILDLY DRIVEN CAR, OWNED BY AN ELDERLY WOMAN, SHOULD FAIL SO BADLY AFTER ONLY 30,000 MILES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THIS PARTICULAR TRANSMISSION ALSO INVOLVING THE FORD TAURUS AND THE WINDSTAR...WHICH I UNDERSTAND WAS RECALLED. THIS PARTICULAR TRANSMISSION IS KNOWN TO FAIL PREMATURELY AND WITHOUT NOTICE. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AND I HOPE THIS IS TAKEN SERIOUSLY. THIS IS A DEFECT THAT IS WAY TOO COMMON IN THESE MODELS AND I WILL BE LOOKING INTO LEGAL RECOURSE AGAINST ANY AND ALL INVOLVED. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS UNFORTUNATE PUBLIC SAFETY HAZARD. THANK-YOU. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY CAR BEGIN TO ACCELERATE ON IT'S ON. THE ENGINE WAS REVVING AND WHEN I WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKES THE CAR DIDN'T AT FIRST SLOW DOWN. WHEN I FINALLY REACHED HOME AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK THE ENGINE WAS STILL REVVING AS IF I WAS STEPPING ON THE GAS. IT WAS VERY SCARY AND INTIMIDATING. THE SAME IDENTICAL THING HAPPENED TO MY HUSBAND WHEN I ASKED HIM TO DRIVE THE CAR AROUND THE BLOCK. *TR
