SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS
WE WERE NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL ON THE FRONT SPRINGS OF THE 2000 MERCURY SABLE IN AUGUST OF 2004. WE WENT TO THE GARAGE TO ASK WHAT WE SHOULD DO. THE GARAGE SAID THEY WOULD CALL WHEN THE PARTS WERE MADE AND WHEN TO COME IN FOR REPLACEMENT OF THE SPRINGS. WE WERE NEVER CALLED TO BRING THE CAR IN. ON JANUARY 23, 2005 WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE THE FRONT SPRING EXPLODED WITH SUCH A FORCE IT BLEW OUT THE FRONT TIRE. THE CAR WAS THEN TOWED TO THE FORD GARAGE WHERE IT WAS REPAIRED. THEY PUT NEW SPRINGS ON THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND REPLACED THE TIRE AT NO COST. WHILE IN THE GARAGE THEY FOUND A REAR SPRING THAT WAS BROKEN. THE SERVICE MANAGER CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO SEE IF IT COULD BE REPAIRED AT NO COST ALSO. FORD SAID NO BECAUSE THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE REAR SPRINGS. WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE REAR SPRINGS. WE FEEL AT THE VERY LEAST THE COST OF THE REAR SPRINGS SHOULD BE PAID FOR BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY. IF WE HAD BEEN DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY INSTEAD OF BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS SINCE THE TIRE ACTUALLY BLEW APART. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP IN AT THE VERY LEAST FORCING FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO PAY FOR THE TOTAL SPRING REPLACEMENT. THANKS. *NM

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR, SEAT BELTS:FRONT:ANCHORAGE
(1) I PURCHASED MY 2000 MERCURY SABLE GS V6 FROM MY FATHER WITH APPX. 38,000 MILES ON IT. MY FATHER AND I KEPT IT WELL MAINTAINED AS REQUIRED IN THE MANUFACTURES WARRANTY GUIDELINES. HE ORIGINALLY BOUGHT IT NEW FROM THE MERCURY DEALERSHIP IN FARMINGTON, MI WHICH IS NOW LOCATED IN DEARBORN, MI CALLED JACK DEMMER LINCOLN MERCURY. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM MY FATHER THE SEATBELTS WERE BOTH WORKING FINE. (2)ON THE MERCURY SABLE BOTH SEAT BELT HARNESSES (SEATBELT ROTATOR) LOCKS UP PREVENTING YOU TO ALLOW YOU TO PUT ON THE SEATBELT. CONSEQUENCES CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY, OR EVEN DEATH. *JB (3) I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY STATED THAT THE CAR HAS 64,000 MILES ON IT AND IS OUT OF THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY SO THEY ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO REPLACE THE BELTS. THEY DID OFFER TO REPLACE BOTH SEAT BELTS FOR $200.00 PER BELT AS THEY SAID THEY WOULDN'T FIX THEM AS ITS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE CAR TO THIS DATE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM IN OTHER MERCURY SABLES AND WOULD LIKE IT INVESTIGATED IF POSSIBLE. *JB
