POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I BOUGHT THE CAR IN NASHUA, NH BUT NOW LIVE IN FLORIDA. THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS THIS: WHILE I AM TRYING TO SLOW DOWN, THE CAR ACTUALLY "LURCHES" FORWARD AND THEN WHEN I LET MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK, IT "SLAMS" INTO GEAR. I CONTACTED THE SERVICE SUPERVISOR AT THE LINCOLN-MERCURY DEALERSHIP IN DELRAY BEACH, FLORIDA . HE TOLD ME HE HAS HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM OCCURING SEVERAL TIMES WITH OTHER SABLES AND KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT PART IT IS. HE ESTIMATES ABOUT $800-$1200 IN REPAIR COSTS. HE TOLD ME THAT IT COULD GO AT ANYTIME AND I WILL BE LEFT STRANDED SOMEWHERE BECAUSE MY CAR WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR. MY BROTHER IN LAW HAD SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS SABLE. I THINK IT IS A DEFECT IN THE SABLE'S TRANSMISSION - I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN A 6 YEAR OLD CAR.
