Consumer Description

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 MERCURY SABLE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT INTO THE PROPER GEAR. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC AND THEY REPLACED THE CONVERTER, TRANSMISSION FLUID, BOLTS, AND JOINTS. ONE YEAR LATER, WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP. THE MECHANIC MADE IDENTICAL REPAIRS AND STATED THAT BECAUSE THE CONVERTER WAS MANUFACTURED OUT OF PLASTIC, IT WOULD CONTINUALLY FAIL. THE CONTACT IS IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 98,000.
