This is the second Sable GS in one year. The first was returned because of transmission problems---A dangerous surge. Dealership wanted to put in a new transmission but I declined and was given another new Sable. The second one is also a dud. Transmission seems to be our of sync with engine. Idling is so fast and within specs that it can travel 5 mph without touching the accelerator! Both Sables have a dangerous vibration on the steering wheel after going 65 miles an hour. By getting another Sable I believed I would have no problems but I've been back for repairs more that 5 times. I don't recommend it to anyone.
Replaced Transmission at 14,700 miles

Overall, this car wasn't bad, until 12,000 miles. Then the transmission problems started. First, a dealership told me that I had plenty of warranty left to figure it out. A month later, dealership couldn't replicate the problem, but replaced a tran sensor. Now, the dealership replaced the transmission with a remanufactured, without telling me first. Still drives questionably, but it looks like I'm stuck with it. The service dept, my salesman, and Ford's Customer Relations act like I should be thrilled that I have a so-called new transmission.

This car hauls... Don't be fooled by it's family sedan/granny car appearance Everytime that I've let someone else drive it they end up squealing the tires their first time behind the wheel, it has a lot more get-up-and-go than they expect. Nice comfy ride and roomy interior. I haven't had any major problems yet..(knock on wood) speaking of..the woodgrain interior looks pretty nice and I love the stainless steel door handles. I've been considering buying a new car but don't want to part with my Sable.

I bought my Sable used at 85K miles. I now have 147K miles on it and still rolling along. I've replaced the blower motor, IAC valve, ignition coil and of course had the door panels reglued when they fell down, but with the inexpensive used price it's hard to complain. Just took it through the mountains of WV and got 28.5-29.75 mpg at 70+. Get about 21 mpg around town. Comfortable ride on the highway. I'm going to have trouble finding a replacement when the time comes.
