Consumer Description

2000 MERCURY SABLE WITH ADJUSTABLE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS WAS RECALLED FOR SPACING ISSUE. TOLD ON RECALL NO ADJUSTMENT NEEDED. HAD BAD CRASH. AFTER CRASH TOLD TWO MORE TIMES ADJUSTMENT NOT NEEDED. THIS CAR HAS A BRAKE PEDAL THAT WOBBLES SIDE TO SIDE 7 MM AND A GAS PEDAL THAT WOBBLES SIDE TO SIDE 1 CM. ODI IN WASHINGTON TOLD ME THAT AS BRAKE AND GAS PEDAL UNIT IS BROUGHT FORWARD THE 3 INCH DISTANCE FOR A SHORTER PERSON THE SIDE TO SIDE WOBBLE OF BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES WORSE CAUSING YOU TO HIT THE GAS. THEY ALSO SAID ADJUSTMENT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE ON THIS CAR. FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE PROBLEM AND TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS VEHICLE IS VERY, VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.
