From the day I purchased my brand new 1997 Mercury Sable I have had transmission problems. The dealership replaced the trans at approx 31,600 miles. Now the cooler line is leaking extremely bad. I am unable to drive it and need to have it towed to the dealer. The vehicle has 49,000 miles so 18,000 miles after the transmission was replaced, again I am having transmission problems. Please advise.
