ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE RIGHT FRONT ENGINE MOUNT HAS FAILED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I DID NOT BUY EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE WITH THIS CAR. THE FIRST FAILED 90 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE. I AM NOW ON THE FOURTH FAILED MOUNT. THESE ARE FLUID FILLED AND OBVIOUSLY NOT DESIGNED TO HANDLE THE TORQUE APPLIED. THEY START BY LEAKING AND THEN FOLLOW WITH ENGINE LIFT AND BUMP DURING ACCELERATION. ALL REPLACEMENTS HAVE BEEN PURCHASED THROUGH NAPA AUTO PARTS DEALERS IN MY AREA. I HAVE ASKED FOR A SOLID REPLACEMENT, BUT HAVE BEEN INFORMED THEY DO NOT EXIST.

THIS PROBLEM MATCHES THE DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE PROGRAM NUMBER 98B23, WHICH EXPIRED ON AUGUST 31, 1999. THE ORIGINAL NOTIFICATION ABOUT THIS PROGRAM WAS SENT TO MY OLD ADRESS, FROM WICH I MOVED OUT ON MAY 1998.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WELL, THE TRANSMISSION I HAVE, IM ON MY SECOND ONE (THEY SORTA REPLACED/REBUILT MY OLD ONE) IS NO DIFFERENT THAN THE OLD ONE. I MEAN AT LEAST IT USES THE 2ND GEAR, WHICH THE OTHER ONE NEVER DID. NOW I THOUGHT THIS WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT UNTIL I ASKED AROUND. TWO OF MY FRIENDS HAVE SABLE'S IN THEIR FAMILIES, ONE IS A '96 LIKE MINE, THE OTHER A '97 AND BOTH OF THEIR CARS HAVE HAD SERIOUS TRANSMISSION TROUBLES. MY FRIEND'S '96 DOESNT EVEN WORK ANYMORE, HES RATHER ANGRY ABOUT THAT AND MY OTHER FRIENDS '97 IS SHAKY. IM WORRIED NOW BECAUSE IM OUT OF WARRANTY, I ONLY HAVE A LITTLE OVER 20K ON MY CAR, I DRIVE IT REALLY NICELY, THIS SHOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED. I FEEL ITS MY DUTY TO TELL YOU GUYS I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED, SOMEONE WILL GET SERIOUSLY HURT FROM THIS ONE DAY IM SURE, BUT IM SURE IT WOULD TAKE 50+ PEOPLE BEFORE ANYONE DOES ANYTHING AND THAT ISNT GOING TO HAPPEN, SO IM LEFT WITH THIS GREAT CAR AND A TERRIBLE TRANSMISSION. IF YOU THINK YOU COULD GET A RECALL GOING ON THESE TRANSMISSIONS, OR YOU NEED ANY INFO, CALL ME BEFORE 1AM CDT PLEASE AT 972-964-1713
