2001 Mercury Sable LS Premium 4dr Wagon (3.0L 6cyl 4A)

The automatic transmission failed after 25,500. The dealership has refused to repair the transmission the car was abused. The car was damaged by putting the car in neutral and dropping it into gear and spinning the tires causing bald spots. I am a 48 year old woman who has never driven hazardously. I've always kept my cars for approximately 5 years and trade them in when the milage gets to around 100K and have never experienced any major repairs warrentied or otherwise. This is the third Ford/Mercury I have owned. I intend to contact the Regional Manager.

This car is in my family and I drive it sometimes. My dad loves it. It had only minor problems in the almost 3 years we've had it including this freaky thing where the left passenger side window shattered out of nowhere. It has 50,000 something miles and is still doing great.

I was looking to buy a used vehicle, and I got this 2001 Mercury Sable. It is very comfortable to drive. It halndles very well on the freeway and city driving. It is very roomy for the passengers in the back seat. The trunk has lots of space. It is very attractive also on the body style. I am very proud to have purchased this car. I will never go to driving any other make of car now!
Uh, buy something else...

I bought this car from my grandmother at 7,200 miles and drove it to Colorado. Amazingly tight suspension. Then half the bulbs in the dash blew out. Put 5 people in it and try to drive up a steep pass and the tranny overheats badly and slips/smokes. THAT is unacceptable. Then the tranny died at 12,000 and again at 19,000 Car then got (stolen, kindof)a one-way brick-on-the- gas trip into Monument Lake and that was the end of that(sorry State Farm Insurance). I refuse to be jacked around by a $24k car when my cheesy old Toyota with 126k has never failed us
What A Pile

First I cannot admit that I could bring myself to purchase this car because it is not my car but my parents'. I have used it over the years as a loaner when needed. I have driven many American cars and currently own a 2004 Honda Accord and a 2010 Toyota Camry. This car is such a pile that it is hard to be intellectual about it. I won't go into the endless maintenance problems and monies spent but just say that it is so joyless and clunky to drive. It is a V6 yet drives as though it would rather be sitting in a pasture rusting. It lumbers along and the shifting is clunky. The best shape this car could be in is a cube at the junkyard.
