1995 Mercury Sable Equipment Problems

“Car stalls in warm weather. On one of many stalled occasions I was stopped at a red light and when it turned green the car lunged as if it were moving but stalled and a man in a truck behind me slammed on his brakes but a woman behind him slammed into his truck. They had an accident because my car stalled and stopped short. Also, right rear window wont go down sometimes. The A/C stinks and the heater smells like super hot dried burnt carpeting. There's a gas smells so heavy at times in the back seat I'm scared for my children to be back there. …”

“Knocking and jump-shifting transmission during acceleration; knocking transmission during cruising after acceleration; roughing/scratching braking when applying brakes, pads/drums/discs are in the excellent condition. Speedmeter needle jumped to 85 MPH while driving 55 MPH once. Sturcture failure in the trunk, up/right corner had a crack which let rain water leaks in the trunk. My air condition gives mildrew/musky when use. My car was never in accident.”

“Since I have purcahsed the car (it was the showcase car) every summer as the weather gets hot the car without any warning will cut off. I took it back to the dealer and on several ocassions (two of which they keep the car for a week) they could not find the problem so, they were unable to help me and the problem continued. I don't know if it s related to the air condition or this gasket problem that I just became aware of from another car dealer. All I know is theat that it happens when the outside environment is fairly warm . …”

“1995 Mercury Sable has experienced several problems. The engine would idle, run rough, stall, and restart immediately, the A/C had blown warm air, the remote fuel door latch had broken, the engine made a loud squealing sound while being driven, and there was a coolant leak. The headgasket , timing cover, oil pan, broken fuel door spring, and starter circuit wiring assembly have all been replaced. Recall #97v019000”

“The smell while using the heater or the air conditioner is so horrible it's almost a health hazard to use it. The heater is so hot it dried out our eyes and noses with even a short trip in the car. The air conditioning worked great and felt wonderful but the smell was unbearable. Lincoln Mercury in dearborn, mi could not find anything and said they didn't smell anything either. It smells of urine and an old wet rag combo.”
