EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION
THE BACK BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT WORKING AGAIN. (4TH TIME) ALSO, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE OUT OF PARK AFTER YOU START THE CAR. I KNOW THESE TWO PROBLEMS ARE RELATED TO THE BRAKE SWITCH. THIS ITEM HAS BEEN (REPLACED) TWO OTHER TIMES. I AM PUTTING THE POWERS THAT BE ON NOTICE THAT IF I AM IN A CRASH BECAUSE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE, I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. ALSO, THERE IS SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT WILL KEEP THE CAR FOR STARTING. *JB

#10016518April 26, 2003
VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2003 MERCURY SABLE LS AND PRIOR TO LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP IN PHILADELPHIA I NOTICED THE FRONT WINDSHIELD DID NOT HAVE THE FACTORY TINT GLASS WHICH WAS STATED ON THE WINDOW STICKER AND WINDSHIELD AS HAVING TINTED GLASS. I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND SPOKE WITH THE SALES PERSON,SALES MANAGER & SERVICE MANAGER AND AFTER COMPARING OTHER SABLES OF 2003 IN THE LOT, ALL STATED IN THE FRONT WINDSHIELD AS HAVING THE TINT BUT SOME DID NOT APPEAR AS HAVING THE DARKER BAND RUNNING ACROSS THE TOP OF THE FRONT WINDSHIELD. NO ONE COULD ADDRESS THIS AS TO WHY SOME DID OR DID NOT OTHER THAN THEY WERE DIFFERENT SUPPLY VENDORS FORD USED THAT DAY. IT APPEARS THAT WHOMEVER FORD SUPPLIER ARE AT THIS POINT HAS A PROCESS ERROR IN THE MANUFACTURING APPLICATION OF THE TINT PROCESS SINCE FORD DEALERSHIP MANAGEMENT COULD NOT ANSWER OR WILLING TO FIND OUT THE ANSWERS TO THE PROBLEM. *NLM

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
AT ABOUT 100,000 EASY HIGHWAY MILES, WE HAD TO REPLACE THE TORQUE CONVERTER, THEN THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION, PLUS FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS MINOR ENGINE REPAIRS TO THE TUNE OF ABOUT $350 EVERY OTHER MONTH, THE WINDOW WON'T GO DOWN ANYMORE, AND NOW--4 MONTHS AFTER THE TRANSMISSION REPLACEMENT--WE HAVE LOST OVERDRIVE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, AGAIN! WE HAVE NEVER HAD A CAR WITH THIS MANY PROBLEMS, AND WILL NEVER BUY A FORD/MERCURY ANYTHING AGAIN. OUR SUBURBAN WAS MORE RELIABLE. *NLM
