2000 Mercury Sable complaints

WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH LEFT FRONT COIL SPRING FAILED, CAUSING LEFT FRONT TIRE TO PUNCTURE. VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO MOVE. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER FOR ANALYSIS, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE STRUTS AND COIL SPRINGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO WORN OUT PARTS.*AK *LA

VEHICLE WAS STUCK IN PARK, AND BRAKE LIGHTS WOULD NOT GO OFF. TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THEY REPLACED THE WIRING STOP LAMP 01S08. 10,000 MILES LATER, PROBLEM RECURRED.*AK

WHEN THE GEAR SHIFTER LEVER WAS PUT INTO DRIVE FROM REVERSE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THIS OCCURRED WHILE THE CONSUMER WAS REVERSING. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO A FAILURE IN THE CATALYTIC CONVERTOR BECAUSE OF THE WEAK TRANSMISSION BEING USED. ALSO, INDICATED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. *AK

WHILE DRIVING THE FRONT LEFT (DRIVER SIDE) COIL SPRING SNAPPED AND PUNCTURED THE LEFT TIRE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. *NM *SC

AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO GET POWER WINDOWS REPAIRED I HAVE FINALLY BEEN SOMEWHAT SATISFIED, ALTHOUGH I STILL EXPERIENCE SOME STICKING AND ANNOYING WIND NOISE. I DID ASK RUSTON FORD, LINCOLN, MERCURY IN RUSTON, LA WHEN I HAD THE WINDOWS REPAIRED ABOUT THE FRONT BUMPER PAINT PEELING/FLAKING AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE PROBLEM. I RECENTLY SEARCHED SEVERAL AUTO REPAIR AND SUPPLY STORES FOR SOME TYPE OF TOUCH UP PAINT AND WERE TOLD BY SEVERAL REPUTABLE SALES PEOPLE THAT THEY HAD SEEN SEVERAL CUSTOMERS LIKE MYSELF WITH THE SAME PROBLEM(PEELING/FLAKING PAINT) ON THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE AND WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I COULD ORDER THE PAINT THROUGH THE LOCAL FORD LINCOLN MERCURY DEALERSHIP, BUT THE PROBLEM WOULD MOST LIKELY REOCCUR. AFTER MY DEALINGS WITH THE RUSTON FORD, LINCOLN, MERCURY DEALERSHIP IN RUSTON, LA I HAVE NO DESIRE TO DO ANY TYPE OF BUSINESS WITH THEM EVER AGAIN!, NOR WILL I CONSIDER PURCHASING ANY FORD OR MERCURY VEHICLE IN THE FUTURE. I HAVE OWNED 6 VEHICLES IN THE PAST 12 YEARS: CHEVROLET CORSICA MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE CHEVROLET BLAZER TOYOTA FORERUNNER TOYOTA CAMRY -------OF THESE SIX VEHICLES I CAN HONESTLY SAY THAT MY MERCURY SABLE HAS BY FAR EXCEEDED ANY PROBLEMS AND POOR SERVICE EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER RECEIVED!!!! ON AUGUST 15TH I HAD MY OIL CHANGED AND WAS TOLD BY THE TECHNICIAN THAT THERE WAS A HISSING NOISE COMING FROM MY AIR CONDITIONER WHICH COULD BE SIGNS OF YET ANOTHER PROBLEM IN THE FUTURE. ALL I AM ASKING

2000 MERCURY SABLE WITH ADJUSTABLE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS WAS RECALLED FOR SPACING ISSUE. TOLD ON RECALL NO ADJUSTMENT NEEDED. HAD BAD CRASH. AFTER CRASH TOLD TWO MORE TIMES ADJUSTMENT NOT NEEDED. THIS CAR HAS A BRAKE PEDAL THAT WOBBLES SIDE TO SIDE 7 MM AND A GAS PEDAL THAT WOBBLES SIDE TO SIDE 1 CM. ODI IN WASHINGTON TOLD ME THAT AS BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL UNIT IS BROUGHT FORWARD THE 3 INCH DISTANCE FOR A SHORTER PERSON THE SIDE TO SIDE WOBBLE OF BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES WORSE CAUSING YOU TO HIT THE GAS. THEY ALSO SAID ADJUSTMENT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE ON THIS CAR. FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE PROBLEM AND TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY, VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

NON DEPLOYMENT OF AIR BAGS IN FRONTAL COLLISION IN 2000 MERCURY SABLE, CAUSING SERIOUS BODILY INJURY.*AK

FRONT DRIVER SIDE SUSPENSION COIL SPRING BROKE AT 49,000 MILES. TIP OF FAILED SPRING PUNCTURED TIRE SIDE WALL. FORTUNATELY THE CAR WAS PARKED AT THE TIME. VEHICLE COULD NOT BE OPERATED DUE TO COIL SPRING INTERFERENCE WITH WHEEL WELL PATH OF REPLACEMENT TIRE.

WHILE DRIVING ABS BRAKE LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD INTERMITTENTLY. *AK

WHILE BRAKING, THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED THE PEDALS WERE DESIGNED TOO CLOSE TOGETHER, WHICH CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE/ACCELERATOR PEDAL AT THE SAME TIME, WHICH CAUSED THE CONSUMER TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION. *JB

WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC WITH ENGINE STILL RUNNING, AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING IT SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND HIT REAR END OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. DEALER STATED WE NEVER HEARD SOMETHING LIKE THIS. *AK

PETITION TO OPEN AN IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION INTO WHY THE MERCURY SABLE HAS EXCESSIVE MOVEMENT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL, SHE OWNS A 2000 MERCURY SABLE WITH A DEFECTIVE BRAKE PEDAL & AIRBAGS.*MR THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH AN ADJUSTABLE BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL SYSTEM WHICH WAS RECALLED FOR THE SPACING BETWEEN THE PEDALS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED NO ADJUSTMENT. ONE DAY THE DRIVER WAS TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ONTO A GRASSY MEDIAN AND HIT A LIGHT POLE. THE VEHICLE CAME TO REST AFTER HITTING A VEHICLE HEAD ON. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND BOTH OCCUPANTS WERE INJURED. ON INSPECTION OF THE CAR IT WAS NOTED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD EXCESSIVE SIDE TO SIDE MOVEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER INDICATED THIS WAS A NORMAL CONDITION. *TS *NLM

THE PULLEY ON THE POWER STEERING PUMP CRACKED AND DISINTEGRATED.*MR *NLM

IMMEDIATELY UPON STARTING MY 2000 MERCURY SABLE (CAR HAD BEEN OFF AND PARKED FOR 4+ HOURS), THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION UNDER THE HOOD. IT SOUNDED LIKE A SONIC BOOM (PEOPLE PARKED 2 CARS AWAY FROM MINE THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD HIT THEIR CAR THE PERCUSSION WAS SO INTENSE). SMOKE/VAPOR WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. IT WAS THOUGHT THAT THERE WAS A FIRE UNDER THE HOOD AND I RAN INSIDE THE ESTABLISHMENT WHERE I WAS PARKED AND GOT A FIRE EXTINQUISHER. AFTER GETTING THE EXTINGUISHER, A CONCERNED PASSERBY ASKED THAT I OPEN THE HOOD. THERE WAS NO FIRE BUT A LOT OF VAPOR. THE INTAKE MANIFOLD HAD BLOWN UP. THERE WERE 2 PIECES THAT WE FOUND NEAR THE MANIFOLD AND THE MANIFOLD LOOKED AS IF IT HAD BEEN SPLIT ALONG ITS HORIZONTAL AXIS. THE FELT MATERIAL UNDERPINNING THE HOOD WAS RIPPED IN SEVERAL PLACES. I CALLED A FORD AUTHORIZED SERVICE CENTER WHERE WE HAVE TAKEN SEVERAL VEHICLES OVER THE YEARS AND THEY HAD IT TOWED TO THEIR SHOP. IT THEN HAD TO BE TAKEN TO A LOCAL FORD DEALER SINCE THE SERVICE CENTER SAID THEY DID NOT "HAVE THE PROPER EQUIPMENT TO FIX IT". UPON INVESTIGATION ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF THERE WERE ANY SIMILAR INCIDENTS ON FILE, I FOUND AN ARTICLE THAT WAS IN THE JOURNAL OF THE ALLIANCE OF AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE PROVIDERS, AASP BY MARK GIAMMALVO DESCRIBING AN INCIDENT IDENTICAL TO MINE. THERE HAD BEEN 2 "OWNER NOTIFICATIONS" ISSUED BY FORD - 00B38 APRIL 2000 AND 00B55 IN SEPTEMBER 2000 THAT RELATED TO A PCM REPROGRAMMING THAT WAS NEEDED. I DID NOT PURCHASE THE VEHICLE UNTIL OCTOBER 2

WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH AIR BAGS INADVERTENTLY DEPLOYED. CONSUMER MANAGED TO PULL OVER. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP BUT THE PROBLEM HAD NOT BEEN RESOLVED.*AK

COMPLAINT REGARDING THE WAY RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED ON VEHICLE.*MR THE CONSUMER HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS ISSUED IN THE RECALL FOR BRAKE LIGHTS AND THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THE RECALL HAD EXPIRED ON THERE VEHICLE AND IT WAS OUT DATED. THE CONSUMER WAS VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THE DEALERSHIP ASSISTANCE BECAUSE REPAIRS HAD NOT BEEN MADE TO ENSURE THE SAFETY NESS OF THE VEHICLE. PLEASE RESPOND PROMPTLY IN RESOLVING MATTERS. *CB

INTERMITTENTLY THE STICK SHIFT GEAR INDICATOR STUCK FROM PARK TO DRIVE OR REVERSE. DEALER INSPECTED, CHARGED $400.OO FOR REPAIRS, PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. *AK

WHILE PARKING MY VEHICLE I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR TOOK OFF LIKE IT WAS POSSESSED. IT WENT UP ONTO A GRASSY MEDIAN RAN HEAD ON INTO AND OVER A LIGHT POLE AND CAME TO REST AFTER HITTING A PARKED CAR HEAD ON. THE BRAKES DID NOT STOP THE CAR AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY!! THE CAR HAD BEEN TAKEN IN FOR A RECALL ON THE ADJUSTABLE BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL EARLIER IN THE YEAR AND I WAS TOLD NO ADJUSTMENT WAS NECESSARY. SO FAR IT HAS BEEN FOUND THAT OUR BRAKE PEDAL HAS TOO MUCH PLAY ON IT (IN OTHER WORDS IT MOVES SIDE TO SIDE TO MUCH--IS LOOSE?) THE ADJUSTABLE BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL AND THE AIR BAGS NOT DEPLOYING ARE ISSUES THAT MUST BE ADDRESSED BY FORD ON THIS VEHICLE. *NLM

VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR RECALL# 01V078000 REPAIRS CONCERNING ADJUSTABLE PEDAL ASSEMBLY GREASE/BRAKE LAMPS. BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED FUNCTIONING AFTER THE REPAIR WAS DONE.*AK

WINDSHIELD WIPERS STOPPED OPERATING WHEN USING THE TURN SIGNAL. *AK

WHILE DRIVING, ANOTHER MOTORIST INFORMED THE CONSUMER THE BRAKE LIGHTS ON THE VEHICLE STAYED ON ALL THE TIME AND OTHER MOTORISTS WERE UNABLE TO TELL WHEN THE CONSUMER WAS ACTUALLY BRAKING. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. *AK EXAMINATION OF THE SWITCH SHOWED A SMALL PLASTIC NUB WHICH HELD CONTACTS OPEN WORE DOWN AND ALLOWED CONTACTS TO STAY CLOSED ALL THE TIME. *PH *JB

UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THERE WERE NO BRAKE LIGHTS. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT HE TURNED THE KEY TO FIRST CLICK, HE PRESSED THE GEAR SHIFTER DOWN AND SHIFTED THE GEARS. THE GAS STATION REPLACED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH. *AK THE BRAKE SWITCH WAS REPLACED ONCE BEFORE PER MERCURY DIVISION RECALL IN MARCH, 2001. *SCC *JB

STOP LAMPS STAY ON. CONDITION CAUSES DEAD BATTERY. STOP LAMP SWITCH IS DEFECTIVE. THIS VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN RECALL 01S08 FOR THE STOP LAMP SWITCH REPLACMENT. CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE.

LOUD EXPLOSION WHICH WAS RESULT OF BACK FIRE BLOWING OUT UPPER INTAKE MANIFOLD. THIS CONDITION IS ADRESSED IN FORD OWNER NOTIFICATION 00B38 (AFFECTING 2000 SABLE AND TAURUS WITH 3.0L DURATEC ENGINE) IN WHICH FORD AGREED TO REPROGRAM THE PCM TO PREVENT THIS BACKFIRE AND RUPTURED INAKE CONDITION. PROGRAM WAS ONLY OPEN FROM APRIL 2000 TO APRIL 2001. OBVIOUSLY THIS CAR WAS NEVER REPROGRAMMED DUE TO LACK MAILING ISSUE OR CHANGE OF VEHICLE OWNERSHIP. THESE VEHICLES THAT ARE UNREPAIRED PRESENT A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK TO AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE PERSONEL WORKING IN THE AREA WHEN THE HOOD IS OPEN. THE BLAST OF THE PLASTIC INTAKE PIECES IS OF SUCH A VIOLENT NATURE THAT EVEN THE UNDERHOOD INSULATION IS DAMAGED. BELIEVE THAT THESE VEHICLES SHOULD ALL BE REPRGRAMMED REGARDLESS OF DATE. *AK

BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH CONTINUED TO FAIL, WHICH WAS CAUSED BY GREASE CONTAMINATION FROM THE ADJUSTABLE PEDAL LINKAGE AS STATED IN RECALL 01 V 078 000. FORD FAILED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AND STATED THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. *AK *CB *JB
