The door panels have been a problem on this vehicle since my ownership of the car. I keep taking it back to the dealership where I have my car serviced and they keep charging me for putting them back together. The never seem to last longer than 6 months.

This problem has happened over and over again. They fix it and it still keeps on breaking down. Driver door won't lock, roof light stays on, panel light indicating all doors are open stays lit. Then it goes off and then on. Its a continous thing that happens. Yesterday. 11-28-01 it would not start. I bought a new battery and sometimes it starts and sometimes it doesn't. do I qualify to get a loaner vehicle until they find out what is wrong with it. They don't seem to have any answers yet. My vehicle is paid off since of last month. Erlinda L. picazo

Design of door has a sharp point which gashed consumer's leg. Consumer is researching for other incidents to bring forward to manufacturer.

The curved metal extension at the outer end of the bottom of the front doors protrudes too far out and makes closing the doors very dangerous when it comes to having your body and leg clear of this protrusion. My wife's leg was seriously gauged last night by this protrusion. The combination of this curved heavy metal protruded edge on the Mercury Sable wagon is made more dangerous as far as passenger safety goes as this car is also low to the ground. I think others should be made aware of the flaw in design of these passenger doors.
