| 1993 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE | ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO DEFECTIVE HEAD GASKET - VEHICLES 1994 AND ABOVE ARE COVERED, MY 1993 VEHICLE IS NOT. THIS IS A BASIC DESIGN FLAW FOR WHICH THE COMPANY HAS ONLY PARTIALLY ASSUMED RESPONSIBILITY. REPLACEMENT MOTORS SHOULD BE REQUIRED ON DESIGN FAILURE AT FORD'S EXPENSE. *AK |
| 2004 | SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRIC | MY HUSBAND IS CURRENTLY LEASING A 2004 MERCURY SABLE. WE'VE HAD IT SINCE FEBRUARY OF 2008, AND IT'S ALMOST PAID OFF. WE'VE NOTICED THE ROTORS ARE WARPED AND ARE CAUSING THE CAR TO SHAKE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE PRESSED TO COME TO A STOP. IT DOES IT EVERYTIME AND IT HAS DONE IT SINCE THE SECOND WEEK OF APRIL 2010. NO PARTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, BUT WHEN WE TEST DROVE IT BEFORE WE BOUGHT IT, IT DIDN'T DO THAT AT ALL. *TR |
