Consumer Description

FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS THIS CAR HAS CONTINUED TO STOP RUNNING WHEN THE CAR IS STOPPED AND LOSES POWER WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE CAR TO ALMOST STOP MOVING. SIX DIFFERENT MECHANICS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE, INCLUDING THE MERCURY AND FORD DEALERSHIPS. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. FINANCES PREVENT THE TRADING IN OF THIS CAR. I BELIEVE FORD IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAS IGNORED IT. I HAVE TALKED WITH OTHER SABLE AND TAURUS OWNERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. CAR RUNS ROUGH, CUTS OFF, LOSES POWER, AND CONTROL IS LOST AS ENGINE DIES.
