1993 Mercury Sable body complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 35 of 35, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When traveling 5-10 MPH and upon exiting a parking lot, consumer noticed a lound noise coming from the front end, consumer contacted the dealer. Dealer determined the cause of the problem to be linked to the sub-frame mounts which fell apart, causing the engine to drop. Dealer has made repairs. Consumer also noted recall 98v323000 concerned sub-frame mounts. However, this vehicle was not included in recall. Please provide any further details.
Front corners of the subframe are rusting. A recall has been issued on the rear corners only. Dealer and manufacturer have been notified.
Consumer unable to have recall repairs made for several months resulting in the body mounts separated causing driver to loose control of the vehicle resulting in vehicle collision. Nlm (recall 98s36)
Front subframe rusted out. This was discovered prior to complete failure as a result of noises in the front end. First there was a recall to protect the tires from front springs which rust out/ broke, and punctured the tires. Then there was a recall to replace two bolts in the subframe which rust out. Now the subframe itself has rusted out. This series of rust problems in critical front end components seems to be more than coincidence. The service manager at summit lincoln mercury said he has seen many cars with this problem, but most of them are discovered in time to weld the subframe rather than completely replace the assembly. My car's subframe completely rusted out where the horozontal strut arms mount. Ford denies this is a safety issue.
Dealer has no parts available to remedy recall problem. Recall number 98v323000. Vehicle has since been repaired. *ak
