1998 MERCURY SABLE Complaints

WHEN VEHICLE IS IN PARK OR FOOT IS TAKING OF GAS PEDAL TO BRAKE, IT WILL ACCELERATE.HAS TO APPLY A LOT OF PRESSURE TO BRAKES TO STOP VEHICLE. THIS CAUSES BRAKES AND ROTORS TO WARP. REPLACED PART; HOWEVER, PROBLEM REOCCURRED. *AK

WHILE SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE VEHICLE WENT COMPLETELY DEAD, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DELERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.*JB

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY,TOOK AN EXIT, APPLIED BRAKES AND BRAKES DIDN'T HOLD.*AK

NO BRAKE LIGHT APPEARING ON LIGHT BULBS SOCKET. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK BRAKE LIGHT IS ONLY WORKING WHEN CAR IS IN REVERSE, THERE IS NO FUSE INFORMATION FOR BRAKE LIGHT IN THE USERS MANUAL AND FORD MOTOR CO CAN NOT FIND SPECS. *MJ

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES VEHICLE REVVED UP WHICH CAUSED VEHICLE TO SURGE FORWARD. CONSUMER HAD TO APPLY BRAKES EVEN HARDER TO STOP VEHICLE. DEALER CONTACTED.*AIK

I TOOK THIS CAR IN FOR ROUTINE TIRE ROTATION AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND WAS TOLD ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE REAR CAMBER. THEY SAID IT NEEDS A KIT 20% OF THE TIME BEFORE 60,000 MILES. THIS ROTATION AND ALIGNMENT COST ME $206.09. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE IN MY OPINION.*AK

BRAKE PEDAL AND GAS PEDAL ARE DESIGNED TOO CLOSE TOGETHER. DRIVER CAN UNINTENTIONALLY APPLY BOTH AT THE SAME TIME OR GAS PEDAL WHEN INTENDING TO APPLY THE BRAKE PEDAL. *AK CONSUMER HAS ALMOST HAD THREE ACCIDENTS BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION OF THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE GAS PEDAL. *JG

AFTER TURNING A CORNER TRANSMISSION HESITATES IF I TRY TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY. I THINK IT IS "HUNTING" BECAUSE IT WILL DROP DOWN TO 1ST GEAR AND ACCELERATE RAPIDLY. IT DOES HESITATE LONG ENOUGH TO BE DANGEROUS.*AK

WHEN CONSUMER MOVED THE VEHICLE FROM THE DRIVEWAY, FRONT SPRING BROKE CAUSING FRONT LEFT TIRE TO BLOWOUT. *NLM *YD

CONSUMER STATES THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT BUCKLE WOULD COME UNLATCH INTERMITTENTLY. NLM
