Consumer experienced trouble with dealership while obtaining recall repair (98v‑323). Mjs
Since the day the car was bought, the windshield wipers will turn off unexpectedly...as if there is a short. They will restart only if they are manually assisted. Non-related, the car will stop dead and will not restart for a minimum of 30 min. This happens every summer when the temperature is above 95 f and the car has driven 100 consecutive miles. This is usually a highway driving situation and has often left my wife and children stranded in the middle of the highway.
When vehicle makes a turn the wihndshield wipers stop. Once turn is complete they will resume. Manufacturer has not been notified.
Associated press reports the federal safety agency receiveing 25 complaints about ford taurus and mercury sable windshield wiper system failing. Both of our cars have had problems and we have had one replaced wiper motor. The sable has had two speedometers installed by the dealer. Now a third one is required. Ford has been contacted but I keep getting the "cann't do anything" for you story line.
Speedometer gives inaccurate readings over 50 MPH, sticks when speed declines. Service tech. Told me"congratulations, your the owner of a late modle ford." meaning: your not the only one with this prob. Expensive to replace... Radiator side tanks pulled apart in cold weather, normal anti freeze ratio, once again told this happens to late model ford's... Blower motor chirps if you keep it at low or med.-low speeds, only stops when on med-high or high.
Intermittent switch. Same problem before during warranty period, when dealer replaced switch. Same problem on another, 1992, vehicle of same type. Dealers acknowledge regular failure/complaints on these switches. Dealer, regional office, and ford customer assistance center refuse to replace switch except at full charge of nearly $200. Sudden loss of visibility due to poor design/defective equipment is a major safety issue!
When vehicle was sitting in 90 degree weather for half of hour rear view mirror fell off, causing loss of visibility. Dealer has reglued part at least three times.
The vehicle was parked in the sun all day approximately 10 hours. When driver returned to the vehicle he found the rearview mirror on the floor. The dealer can not duplicate the problem. No warranty.
Motor mounts are faulty. Also there is a problem with windshield wiper washer on vehicle. It does not work unless lights are on bright.
Ignition lock set failed.
Windshield washer problems.
Rear view mirror fell off windshield resulting in poor visibility.
While driving or parking vehicle, it would either stall or die out for no reason; will not start right away; when driving occurs at various speeds. Had to have vehicle towed home when stalled last time. Have not taken to dealer yet. *ak the cause for the vehicle's stalling was found to be fuel pump failure. The starter also failed. The passenger side window was fixed three times but the problem sitll continues. The consumer could not properly install a new child seat.
Passenger window not aligned properly.
