1994 Mercury Sable brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 26 of 26, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Anti- lock brake failure warning light illuminated. Car was inspected by the servicing dealer and we were instructed to replace the ABS computer at a cost of $1,500. Failure to do so, reported the service manager, would result in continuing degradation of the braking system to the point of complete failure. I will provide VIN information if required for further investigation. With only 29,000 miles on a well maintained car, failure of the braking system was shocking.
The ABS system experiencing failure which is causing the ABS warning light to come on.
Abs sensor light would come on. Whenever this occurred it caused front wheels, excpept one on right front passenger's side, to lock up. Dealer notified, and nothing could be found. Seeking help the federal safety agency in this matter.
I have had other problems with this car feul pump replaced , new head put on car, transmission screen and filter replaced because of leakage, brakes replaced rotors turned, broken motor mount, rear axle loose. Squealing noise on passanger side when turning or going around a curve. The transmission on this car also I think has a problem it hesitates when you first crank up the car it won' t go it acts like you are in neutral for a few seconds then it goes. I have also had some type of collant ring around the timing chain replaced the engine would get hot and start smoking it smelled like anti-freeze . Most of the repair work has been done under the extended warrenty but this car does have problems.
Car accelerated uncontrollably, brakes applied, but could not stop vehicle; had to put car in neutral to stop vehicle.
