POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHILE SHIFTING FROM "DRIVE" TO "REVERSE" IN A PARKING LOT, THE TRANSMISSION "JUST FELL APART" ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT WHITTEN LINCOLN/MERCURY IN RICHMOND, VA. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED HAD THE VEHICLE BEEN MOVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION "FELL APART". PLEASE NOTE THE TRANSMISSION UNDERWENT REPAIR FOR A "PARK PAWL" DEFECT A YEAR EARLIER AND HAD THE REGULAR TRANSMISSION SERVICE ONLY A FEW MONTHS BEFORE THE FAILURE.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS
RECALL 98V094000, FRONT COIL SPRING . DEALER COULD NOT PLACE THE SPRING CATCHER BRACKET/SHIELD IN WHICH PREVENTS THE FRONT COIL SPRING FROM PUNCTURING THE TIRE WHEN IT BREAKS. BUT THERE WAS NO ROOM FOR THE SHIELD WHICH CAUSED A BANGING NOISE, AND RUB AGAINST THE TIRE WHICH COULD RESULT IN A BLOWOUT. DEALER REMOVED BRACKET AFTER THREE TRIES AT INSTALLING BRACKET, LAST TIME IT WA SRUBBING ON TIRE. MANUFACTURER SAID CASE WAS CLOSED. *AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT:SPRINGS:COIL SPRINGS
BOTH FRONT COIL SPRINGS BROKE, SPRINGS RUBBED INTO TIRES ON BOTH SIDES MAKING IT HARD TO STEER RUINING BOTH TIRES, SURPRISED THAT THE TIRES ON BOTH SIDES WERE NOT PUNCTURED DUE TO THE SPRINGS. DEALER INFORMED ME THAT FRACTURES IN THE FRONT COIL SPRINGS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR THE SABLE, WOULD HAVE HATED TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN AT A GREATER SPEED OR I AM AFRAID THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE THAN TWO RUINED TIRES

#704001March 3, 1999
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
THE TRANSMISSION WAS GOING IN TO NEUTRAL AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. THE FIRST TIME THE TRASNMISSION WAS REBUILT WAS AROUND 40,000 MILES. THEN 4 MONTHS AGO THE TRANSMISSON WAS REBUILT AGAIN, AT AROUND 85,000. THE TRANSMISSION IS STILL GOING INTO NEUTRAL, WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 25-55 MPH OR MORE. WHEN I TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS ORIGINALLY PURCHASED; THEY SAY THEY CAN FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON-GOING PROBLEM FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS (HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP OFF AND ON) AND WE ARE CONCERNED THAT IT COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. WE ARE CONCERNED NOW FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR TEENAGE SONS WHEN THEY DRIVE IT AS WELL AS OURSELVES. WE ALSO REQUESTED A MAINTANCE REPORT ON THE CAR SINCE WE HAD IT, BUT STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED IT FROM THE DEALER. ADDITIONALLY, THEY HAVE CHANGED OVER COMPUTER SYSTEMS SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE ALSO COMMUNICATED THAT SERVICE CODES HAVE BEEN CHANGED SO THAT THEY CANNOT EVEN PROVIDE US WITH AN ACCURATE ACCOUNT OF EACH VISIT AND WHAT WAS SPECIFICALLY DONE TO THE CAR. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON ADDITIONAL STEPS WE CAN TAKE? THE CAR WAS DROPPED OFF AGAIN TONIGHT, 3/3/99 BECAUSE OF SEVERAL INCIDENTS LAST NIGHT WITH IT. THANK YOU.
