1993 Mercury Sable LX review from North America
"I would love to have another like it that is still dependable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A/C compressor and clutch went.
Both outside tie-rod ends bad.
Front seat leather is ripped really bad.
Had engine replaced by Ford Motor Company due to head gasket problem.
Front door handle spring broke.
All A/C vents are broke.
Drivers rear power window doesn't work... motor okay...
Having problems with the wire harness... keep getting shorts that stalls the car and won't allow it to re-start.
Replaced the drier unit on the A/C and the hose blew in two months.
General comments?
The car was very dependable until the last year or so... now there is no telling when it will stall out and not re-start.
