Consumer Description

MY MERCURY SABLE STALLS UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS CONDITION HAS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS. IN EACH SITUATION, THE WEATHER WAS VERY WARM AND THE ENGINE HOT. IN ONE CASE, I WAS TRAVELLING AT 60 MPH IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND HAD TO QUICKLY GET TO THE BERM OF THE ROAD NARROWLY ESCAPING INJURY OR DEATH. IN THE REMAINING OCCURRANCES, THE ENGINE STALLED WHEN IN CITY TRAFFIC. I KNOW VEHICLES MAY BE RECALLED IN CALIFORNIA FOR THIS TYPE OF DEFECT AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT PART TO REPLACE FOR MY OWN SAFETY EVEN IF NOT RECALLED. ALSO, HOW CAN I IDENTIFY THE BAD PARTS SO THAT I KNOW THAT THE NEW PART I'M INSTALLING ISN'T ALSO DEFECTIVE.
