Consumer Description

THIS 2005 MERCURY SABLE (LS PREMIUM) JUST FELL OUT OF GEAR AS I WAS ON THE ROAD. TOTALLY OUT OF THE BLUE WITH NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. I KNOW NOW THE TRANSMISSION MUST BE REPLACED FOR UPWARDS OF $1800.00. THIS CAR HAS JUST 30,000 MILES ON IT. I FIND IT COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE FOR A MILDLY DRIVEN CAR, OWNED BY AN ELDERLY WOMAN, SHOULD FAIL SO BADLY AFTER ONLY 30,000 MILES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THIS PARTICULAR TRANSMISSION ALSO INVOLVING THE FORD TAURUS AND THE WINDSTAR...WHICH I UNDERSTAND WAS RECALLED. THIS PARTICULAR TRANSMISSION IS KNOWN TO FAIL PREMATURELY AND WITHOUT NOTICE. THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AND I HOPE THIS IS TAKEN SERIOUSLY. THIS IS A DEFECT THAT IS WAY TOO COMMON IN THESE MODELS AND I WILL BE LOOKING INTO LEGAL RECOURSE AGAINST ANY AND ALL INVOLVED. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS UNFORTUNATE PUBLIC SAFETY HAZARD. THANK-YOU. *TR
