Mercury Sable Power Train Automatic Transmission Safety Report | Aug 03, 1998
Reported on Aug 03, 1998
| MY MECHANIC TELLS ME THAT THE ORIGINAL PARTS USED WHEN THE CAR WAS BUILT WERE MADE OF ALUMINUM RATHER THAN A STRONGER METAL AND THAT FORD IS NO LONGER USING THESE ALUMINUM PARTS. IT WAS THE ALUMINUM PISTON THAT CRACKED IN MY TRANSMISSION, CAUSING SOME $2,600 OF REPAIR. I HEARD AND SAW A REPORT ON NBC TODAY IN DECEMBER THAT SOME TAURUS AND SABLE CARS WERE BEING RECALLED BECAUSE OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. BUT WHEN I CONTACTED FORD THAT TELL ME IT ISN'T SO. I HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED ONE RECALL WITH REGARD TO THE HEAD GASKET ON THIS CAR. ARE YOU AWARE OF ANY SUCH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AS I DECRIBED? IS THERE A RECALL? PLEASE REGISTER MY COMPLAINT. THANK YOU. | |
