Consumer Description

REAR OF MY 2001 MERCURY SABLE HAD BEEN SAGGING FOR SOME TIME, TO THE POINT I WAS AFRAID THAT THE TOP OF THE WHEEL WELL WOULD HIT THE TOP OF THE TIRE, (ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE REAR END DID BOTTOM OUT ON SLIGHTLY STEEP INCLINES). I FINALLY TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, WHO SAID THAT BOTH REAR SPRINGS HAD FAILED (BROKE), AND FROM THE RUST ACCUMULATED ON THE BRAKE AREAS, IT HAD BEEN BROKEN FOR SOMETIME. I CALLED THE LOCAL FORD DEALER IN QUINCY WHO SAID THAT THIS WASN'T AN ISSUE. I HAD ANOTHER MECHANIC, (MY BROTHER DUE TO THE HIGH COST), REPLACE THE REAR SPRINGS AND SHOCKS. I KNOW THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE FRONT SPRINGS (ROAD SALT CORROSION), BUT I WOULD BE CURIOUS TO FIND OUT HOW MANY OTHER SABLES/TAURUS'S HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
