| 1994 | STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS | MANUFACTURER WILL NOT HONOR RECALL: SEVERE CORROSION OF THE REAR LOWER RETAINING PLATES FOR THE SUBFRAME ASSEMBLY SUPPORTING THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. RISK IS DETACHMENT OF BODY MOUNTS AT THE REAR CORNERS OF THE SUBFRAME. EXISTING RECALL 98V-323 ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM IN CERTAIN VEHICLES. MY VEHICLE WAS OF THE YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL COVERED BY THE RECALL, AND HAS THIS PROBLEM, BUT FORD IS CLAIMING THAT MY VIN# DOES NOT MAKE ME ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL. *TR |
| 2001 | SUSPENSION:REAR | THE REAR SPRINGS ON MY 2001 MERCURY SABLE HAVE BOTH FRACTURED. THE CAR IS IN THE SHOP RIGHT NOW BEING REPAIRED AND NO ONE IN THE SHOP CAN BELIEVE THAT BOTH OF THE SPRINGS HAVE FRACTURED. THEY ARE AMAZED!! THIS IS A VERY BIG JOB TO FIX AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. THE REPAIR TECH COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT THE CAR WAS EVEN DRIVABLE. I WOULD LIKE FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO CONTACT ME WITH A RESPONSE. I SEE ON THE INTERNET THAT MANY 2000-2001 SABLES ARE EFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM AND YET FORD DID NOTHING, ALLOWING PEOPLE TO DRIVE UNSAFE CARS. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND CORRECTED. IF I DO NOT HEAR BACK, THIS WILL BE MY VERY LAST FORD CAR. I WOULD LIKE A REPLY FROM FORD MOTOR CO. I AM JUST GLAD NO ONE WAS HURT. THANK GOD!! PLEASE SEE : EA06002 AND PE05-054. *TR |
