Transmission went out at 80,000 miles - dealer had a new transmission installed and the car was back on road within 24 hours.
2 of 4 ower window motors and the power seat did not work smoothly (per the 1st owner's maintenance records) - dealer corrected.
Right rear power window motor went out at 90,000 miles - was very easy to replace.
The car is too heavy for this engine, but gets decent mileage.
Even with the transmission problem, this has been a very reliable car and I anticipate it will go another 100,000 miles.
Wish it had the 3.8L for the power, but otherwise a great car.
Our passenger back window went out too. Our drivers back door won't lock or unlock w/power locks. The looks on the door won't work anymore w/the key.
The drivers door hinge on the frame, moves around and around. It's been a good car, other wise.
I have 1994 Sable. Engine has gone bad at 64000 miles. It passed Arizonw Smog check 3 months ago. It had oil. Last night on 8th March 2003 it threw a rod in the engine. I got towed to Pep Boys. I wonder how can I get Mercutry to fix/replace engine. Engine came bad from Factory. I had heard 1993/1994 Ford Taurus/Sable had Engine problem. Please help at e-mail: sprasad@rbf.com.
I have a 95 Mercury Sable GS and let me just say that I have had nothing, but tranmission problems.
I will never buy another car made by that Manufacturer again.
Oh... you don't wish you had the 3.8 liter.. head gasket problems aplenty. I've had relatively few problems with my 3.0 liter Sable other than rebuilding the tranny at 120,000. Oh, passenger side doesn't work w/key, and hinge on driver door is "loose".. door doesn't stay open on it's own unless the car is pointed downhill on a slope..
I love my 1994 Mercury Sable Wagon. It's 15 years old now, but still runs great. I only have like 85k original miles in it. Everything works well except for the keyless entry, which I really don't care if I have it or not.
I feel very safe when I am in this car.
I just love it!!!
