Consumer Description

WHEN ENTERING THE CAR AFTER A BASKETBALL GAME I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND TRIED TO GO INTO REVERSE BUT THE CAR REMAINED IN NEUTRAL AS IT WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. PRIOR TO THIS I HAD NEVER NOTICED ANY ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOLD BY OUR MECHANIC THE TORQUE CONVERTER HAD GIVEN OUT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AFTER DOING EXTENSIVE RESEARCH I FOUND THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF OTHER MERCURY SABLE OWNERS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR TRANSMISSION. FORD RECALLED THE SAME PART ON OTHER SIMILAR MAKE AND MODELS VEHICLES. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED OF MERCURY SABLES AS WELL.
