1992 Mercury Sable GS review from North America
"A mechanics means in which to achieve riches beyond his wildest dreams"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car had broken back door locks which the dealer replaced.-The C.V.joint went out at 55,000 miles.-The 2 back power windows went out which made it feel like a sweat shop when the air conditioning died and would not hold freon as the leak was so huge. -The power steering leaked at under 100,000 miles.-The transmission began slipping and leaking while traveling and finally went to that transmission happy hunting ground in the sky.- The seal in the trunk leaked causing mold and assorted scientific experiments to grow in the Texas humidity.- The motor mounts were replaced 2 times.-The bearings in both front wheels were replaced 2 times.-The alternator went out. All this within 120,000 miles.- The car finally seized up and refused to go in gear and made delightful banging sounds when I put it in reverse.- The end of this lovely little story is I had to pay the junk yard guy $30 to haul her off.
General comments?
The car was so comfortable and smooth driving down the road. It was a dream to travel in.-Very quick car and for some reason great on gas. I got 34 miles to the gallon.
