1993 Mercury Sable LE review from North America
"Worst car I ever owned"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 50,000 the starter failed.
At 55,000 miles the rear power window motor failed.
At 60,000 the front power door actuator failed.
At 80,000 the transmission is starting to fail.
At 90,000 the water pump failed.
We had to replace a cracked timing chain cover with the water pump. $1,100 total job.
Now the dealer says the head gaskets are leaking!
