I had the same problem as Merck with my sable. When I got to 65mph the front would start to vibrate. Luckily I used to work at a Ford dealership in parts and had some knowledge. The vibration is cause by the wheels not being balanced. I took the car back to the dealership and told them that the wheels needed to be balanced. Since I did this just a few days after buying the car they covered the charges even though wheel balancing isn't covered by warranty. I am happy to say it solved the vibration problem and the car now drives beautifully. I used to live by chevys. I am giving Ford a chance to win me over and so far they are doing very well.

i am wondering if anyone else is having this problem. the a/c moduole and door have been replaced and keep quitting on me. i believe it is an electrical problem since the unit works when it plugged in again(after tearing down the car and hours doing so) the dealership said it was the module and door but something shorts the motor module that controls the door that closes for a/c and heating control. the cost can go above $600 to tear it down again. we have 53,000 miles on it. the sable LS with 24 valve engine. any ideas?

As a former Lincoln Driver, I was surprised as to how much better all around the Sable is. Performance is outstanding, ride is nice and tight, handles great.

I use my car for field service work, so I am in it all day. It is comfortable, gets as good mileage as my old Contour 4 cyl, and feels solid and is squeek free at 20k miles. I have had no problems with mine at all. A friend who has a 2000 Sable had the vibration problem some have mentioned, but he said the problem disappeared when he got new tires.

We have had this car for over 3 years now and it has not had one single problem. It drives great and has a classy look to it inside and out. I recently purchased a Mountaineer and considered trading this car in instead of our older one, but my wife would not part with it!
