  • Fun To Drive When Its Not In For Repair - 2000 Mercury Sable
    By -

    This is my final Ford "Fix or Repair Daily" product. I am so tired of bringing the car in for various recalls and other problems (in fact, I need to call the dealer tomorrow to find out why my car is now leaking transmission fluid). Time in the shop is compounded by an inept dealer repair shop. Problems are not fixed right the first time. When its not in the shop, the car is actually very pleasant to drive - great pickup and very smooth even at high speeds. However, its just not worth the effort anymore. We also own a Hyundai Santa Fe, which has had zero problems, and has a better warranty.

  • Disowning Ford - 2000 Mercury Sable
    By -

    My wife and I purchased this car to haul our two kids, one dog, and luggage for family vacations (just call me Clark Griswald). Although we have had some problems (suspension and tire wear) overall the car is okay. Mostly, I am sick of Ford taking me to the cleaners anytime something goes wrong with the car. Even the Ford dealership cant perform normal maintenance, they generally have to replace large portions of the car rather then faulty part (no wheel bearings on this car [$10] only wheel hubs [$75]). If you ask me it sounds like blatant planned obsolesce. I think this is the last Ford for us.

  • Transmission Problem - 2000 Mercury Sable

    Ford has a real issue in a faulty differential. 33 months old and $2400 later. Only highway miles and no hard driving. Think twice and dont buy new or used!!!

  • Good car - But Unreliable - 2000 Mercury Sable
    By -

    While my Sable LS Premium is a decent car from a comfort and feature standpoint the reliabiity is simply horrible. Ive had the car serviced for brakes problems and recalls 9 times in last the year. If you enjoy losing your car once a month to the dealership and have no confidence in driving over a long distance this is the car for you. Reviews, price, interest rates and reviews and were a big factor for me in purchasing this car. This was my second Ford vehicle and last.

  • Dont like it much, but its dependable - 2000 Mercury Sable
    By -

    We purchased the car because we had to get something larger with a second child on the way. With 2 kids now and 2 car seats, not enough room. Now, that were trying to trade it in Im finding we overpaid by way to much. The cars okay but not for the price. I wish I would have bought an SUV in the first place or a Honda, at least the payments Ive made would amount to something!!!!

  • Wish I hadnt bought it - 2000 Mercury Sable
    By -

    We have owned the Sable for three years and it is constantly in the shop being worked on every month. It has had numerous problems with the Air Conditioner,that have never been fixed. Along with some very scary experiences with the brakes locking up. Not to mention the number of recalls as well. It was the worst car purchase we have ever made.
