Mercury Sable Power Train Automatic Transmission Safety Report | Oct 20, 1998
Reported on Oct 20, 1998
| IN NORMAL DRIVING THE CAR STARTED JERKING AND BUCKING. MY REGULAR SERVICE STATION DROVE IT AND SENT ME TO A TRANSMISSION PLACE. HE DROVE IT AND SAID IT HAD A PROBLEM BRABLY BECAUSE THESE CARS (94 SABLES AND ALSO TAURUS) HAD ALUMINUM PISTONS WHICH CRACKED UNDER PRESSURE. LATER MODELS, AND REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE STEEL. THIS WAS DEFECTIVE PART THAT FORD SHOULD REPLACE. EVERY ONE I KNOW WHO HAS THIS SAME MODEL HAD HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE COST IS EXPENSIIVE - $1492. FORD SHOULD PAY FOR THIS! IT IS ALSO DANGEROUS. | |
