Overview & Reviews
Four new colors are added to the paint chart, while approach lighting and an auto-dimming rearview mirror with compass become standard equipment.
- Excellent value for the money, high level of safety, available as a sedan or a wagon.
- Forgettable rental car persona, no rear disc brakes on the sedan.

Expected better - 2002 Mercury Sable
By Mustang Gal - July 27 - 11:33 pmI expected better from the 2002 Sable. Ive owned Ford products my whole life and never had the problems Ive had with this car. I purchased used with less than 55,000 miles and just turned over 80,000 miles. In the last 18 months, I had to replace the fuel pump - car let me down while I was on vacation and I had to rent a car to get to my destination! A month ago I replaced the right ball socket and head gasket. Ever since the head gasket was replaced, the heat doesnt work right - not good in the Northeast during the winter. Also, since the head gasket was replaced, the engine was making a chirping sound. From outside the vehicle, sounded like a belt slipping - its the camshaft sensor!

More problems than I can count - 2002 Mercury Sable
By runner1 - March 7 - 4:46 pmMy sister and I both bought used 2002 sables with approx 16,000 miles on them back in 2003. Since that time we both have had more problems that we can count, even though we have both kept our cars in great shape and did all the scheduled maintenance, etc. Hers is still barely running; mine bit the dust a few weeks ago. Heres a list of the problems weve had: - ticking sound from under the hood that no one can figure out. - wheels puncture from issue with wheel well. My sister had at least 4 blow outs due to this issue. - power steering issues/system breakdown. - interior faux-leather paneling on doors fell/peeled off. - SCARIEST: vehicle stalls, generally while going around 60 mph!
