I BOUGHT THE CAR LESS THAN A YEAR AGO AND HAVE PAID OVER A $1,000 IN REPAIRS. THE DAY I LEFT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE DEALER RE-BUILT THE TRANSMISSION TWICE, BUT I'M STILL HAVING PROBLEMS. RECENTLY I HAD FULL FRONT & BACK BRAKE JOB. WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR THE BRAKES WERE FINE. IN LESS THAN A YEAR I HAD ONLY 10% BRAKES LEFT. THE DAY I LEFT I LOST ALL BACK BRAKES. A MONTH LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. NOW THEY ARE SAYING FORD HAS RECALLED THE ANTI LOCK SYSTEM AND MASTER CYLINDER. PLEASE HELP.

THE MOTOR MOUNTS HAVE FAILED ON MY 1992 SABLE. THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL THAT WE WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 98V323000. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR (HERITAGE LINCOLN-MERCURY) AND SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. HE TOLD ME THAT THERE WERE NO SAFETY RECALLS ON THE CAR AND NONE ON THE MOTOR MOUNTS. I THEN CONTACTED FORD VIA THEIR "800" NUMBER AND WAS TOLD ABOUT A RECALL ON THE THROTTLE CABLE AND ONE ON THE EMISSIONS. I FEEL THAT FORD SHOULD REPLACE THESE UNDER THE PRIOR RECALL NOTICE. *AK
