- FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLYCampaign 98V067000 · 25/03/1998
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES PREVIOUSLY SERVICED UNDER FORD SERVICE BULLETIN 97-17-9 FROM AUGUST 1997 THROUGH DECEMBER 1997. THESE VEHICLES WERE INADVERTENLY EQUIPPED WITH AN 18-GALLON FUEL TANK RATHER THAN THE 16-GALLON AS SPECIFIED. THE 18-GALLON TANK HAS A SECOND VALVE LOCATION WHERE A SHIPPING PLUG SHOULD BE INSTALLED.
Risk: IF THIS SHIPPING PLUG IS DISPLACED, FUEL LEAKAGE CAN RESULT. FUEL LEAKAGE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE COULD POTENTIALLY RESULT IN A FIRE.
Fix: DEALERS WILL INSTALL THE CORRECT FUEL TANK.
- SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:BRAKE FLUID LOW WARNING: LAMPCampaign 96V016000 · 25/01/1996
THE BRAKE SYSTEM FLUID LEVEL INDICATOR LAMP SWITCH CAN MALFUNCTION. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS NO. 105, "HYDRAULIC BRAKE SYSTEMS."
Risk: CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: IF THE SWITCH MALFUNTIONS, THE BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING LAMP WILL EITHER REMAIN ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY OR FAIL TO LIGHT AS INTENDED WHEN THE FLUID LEVEL FALLS TO A CERTAIN LEVEL. IN EITHER CASE, THE VEHICLE OPERATOR WOULD NOT BE WARNED OF A LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVEL CONDITION.
Fix: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE BRAKE SYSTEM FLUID LEVEL INDICATOR LAMP SWITCHES.
- POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONCampaign 96V176000 · 18/09/1996
THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PARK PAWL SHAFT MAY NOT BE FREE TO ROTATE AS INTENDED. IF THE PARK PAWL SHAFT DOES NOT ROTATE, IT WOULD PREVENT THE PARK PAWL FROM ENGAGING THE PARK GEAR WHEN THE SHIFT LEVER IS IN THE PARK POSITION.
Risk: THIS CONDITION COULD RESULT IN THE VEHICLE ROLLING AS IF IN NEUTRAL WITH THE SHIFT LEVER IN THE PARK POSITION.
Fix: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE PARK PAWL SHAFT ROTATION AND THOSE SHAFTS WITH RESTRICTED ROTATION WILL BE REPLACED WITH A SHORTER SHAFT THAT WILL NOT RESTRICT ROTATION.
- POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONCampaign 96V086000 · 14/05/1996
THE PARK PAWL SHAFT WAS IMPROPERLY POSITIONED WHEN THE ROLL PIN THAT RETAINS IT WAS INSTALLED DURING TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY. IF THE SHAFT WAS NOT PROPERLY POSITIONED, THE ROLL PIN MAY NOT HAVE LINED UP WITH THE GROOVE IN THE SHAFT AND HAVE BEEN CRUSHED AT ASSEMBLY. ALSO, A BURR COULD HAVE BEEN RAISED ON THE SHAFT.
Risk: THIS COULD RESULT IN THE PARK PAWL OCCASIONALLY NOT ENGAGING WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SELECTOR LEVER IS PLACED IN THE PARK POSITION. THIS COULD RESULT IN THE VEHICLE ROLLING AS IF IN NEUTRAL IF THE VEHICLE OPERATOR DOES NOT APPLY THE PARKING BRAKE.
Fix: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE PARK PAWL SHAFT ROLL PIN. IF THE ROLL PIN IS DAMAGED, BOTH THE ROLL PIN AND THE PARK PAWL SHAFT WILL BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, OWNERS WILL BE REMINDED TO FULLY APPLY THE PARKING BRAKE, IN ADDITION TO PLACING THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK.
- POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:GEAR POSITION INDICATION (PRNDL)Campaign 96V166000 · 05/09/1996
THE PARK PAWL ABUTMENT BRACKET HAS A SHARP EDGE WHICH CAN CAUSE THE PARKING PAWL TO HANG UP AND NOT ENGAGE THE PARK GEAR. THIS WOULD ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO MOVE EVEN THOUGH THE GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR SHOWS THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK.
Risk: UNINTENDED AND UNEXPECTED VEHICLE MOVEMENT CAN RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Fix: DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE PARK PAWL ABUTMENT BRACKET.

WELL, THE TRANSMISSION I HAVE, IM ON MY SECOND ONE (THEY SORTA REPLACED/REBUILT MY OLD ONE) IS NO DIFFERENT THAN THE OLD ONE. I MEAN AT LEAST IT USES THE 2ND GEAR, WHICH THE OTHER ONE NEVER DID. NOW I THOUGHT THIS WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT UNTIL I ASKED AROUND. TWO OF MY FRIENDS HAVE SABLE'S IN THEIR FAMILIES, ONE IS A '96 LIKE MINE, THE OTHER A '97 AND BOTH OF THEIR CARS HAVE HAD SERIOUS TRANSMISSION TROUBLES. MY FRIEND'S '96 DOESNT EVEN WORK ANYMORE, HES RATHER ANGRY ABOUT THAT AND MY OTHER FRIENDS '97 IS SHAKY. IM WORRIED NOW BECAUSE IM OUT OF WARRANTY, I ONLY HAVE A LITTLE OVER 20K ON MY CAR, I DRIVE IT REALLY NICELY, THIS SHOULDNT HAVE HAPPENED. I FEEL ITS MY DUTY TO TELL YOU GUYS I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED, SOMEONE WILL GET SERIOUSLY HURT FROM THIS ONE DAY IM SURE, BUT IM SURE IT WOULD TAKE 50+ PEOPLE BEFORE ANYONE DOES ANYTHING AND THAT ISNT GOING TO HAPPEN, SO IM LEFT WITH THIS GREAT CAR AND A TERRIBLE TRANSMISSION.

THE CURVED METAL EXTENSION AT THE OUTER END OF THE BOTTOM OF THE FRONT DOORS PROTRUDES TOO FAR OUT AND MAKES CLOSING THE DOORS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT COMES TO HAVING YOUR BODY AND LEG CLEAR OF THIS PROTRUSION. MY WIFE'S LEG WAS SERIOUSLY GAUGED LAST NIGHT BY THIS PROTRUSION. THE COMBINATION OF THIS CURVED HEAVY METAL PROTRUDED EDGE ON THE MERCURY SABLE WAGON IS MADE MORE DANGEROUS AS FAR AS PASSENGER SAFETY GOES AS THIS CAR IS ALSO LOW TO THE GROUND.

JUST BOUGHT A MERCURY SABLE 1996. AFTER DRIVING THIS VEHICAL FOR ABOUT 10 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO SLIP BADLY. IT BEGAN WITH HAVING TROUBLE ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP. LUCKILY I WAS DRIVING IN A RURAL AREA WITH FEW STOPS AND LITTLE TRAFFIC. BY THE TIME I STOPPED AT THE 3 STOP SIGN. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NO LONGER ENGAGE INTO 1ST OR 2ND GEAR. NEVER GOT INTO 4TH GEAR. BUT HAD TO GET PUSH THE VEHICAL FROM THE LAST STOP SIGN UNTIL I REACHED A SMALL HILL THAT ALLOWED ME TO REACH THE SPEED SO THAT 3RD WAS ABLE TO ENGAGE AND WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO MY HOUSE. THE CAR HASN'T MOVED SINCE THEN. WASTE OF $1,000!! TRANSMISSION IS FINISHED.
