1997 Mercury Sable Sedan LS review from North America
"Very dependable and comfy"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Brakes constantly need replacement.
In cold weather the door sticks open and won't shut. Best way to have the door close is spray in the little hole on the door (C shape item that sticks) with WD-40 (don't be stingy, use a lot) then either use your fist and hit around the hole, or give it a good kick. Sometimes I just get the metal bar out of my trunk and give it a good whack, and it will unstick.
Other than that, I love the car!
