I PURCAHSED A 1993 MECURY SABLE WITH 60,000 MILES IN OCT 99 IN ORANGEBURG SOUTH CAROLINA. ABOUT 6 MONTHS THE TEMPERATURE BEGAN TO FLUXUATE AND THE THERMOSTAT WAS REPLACED. IT SEEMED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT THREE MONTH AND THEN THE OVERHEATING PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN. IN OCT 200 THE VEHILCE WAS USING WATER AND THEN RADIATOR WAS REPPLACED AT A COST OF $475.00. AND AFTER THE REPAIR THE MECHANIC NOTIFIED ME THAT THE HEADGSKETS WERE BLOWN. I PARKED THE CAR BECAUSE I NO MONEY TO REPAIR IT. I HEARD FROM A FREIND THAT THE 3.8 ENGINE IS NOTORIOUS FOR HEADGASKETS IN THE 3.8L ENGINE IN THE 1993 SABLE. AFTER GOING TO POMOCO MECURY AND CONTACTING FORD THEY STATE THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS ENGINE. HOW CAN THEY SEEL A DEFECTIVE ENGINE AND NOT OWN UP TO IT. THERE ARE JUST TOO MANY REPORTS AND COMPLAINTS ON THIS PIECE...
