The Mercury Sable like any other vehicles also suffers from some automotive problems. This is very common in cars, especially to the old ones. These problems, be it a minor or big problem, should be taken seriously in order to ensure your safety as well as the persons who rides with your vehicle. In one of the 1997 Sable, the problem encountered is the malfunctioning of the engine, due to possible air trapped in the coolant system. The low coolant light functions intermittently. The fuel system does won't start when it is warm. After being driven for 5 to 10 minutes the car stops. This problem occurred in a 1996 Sable, 1994 and 1991 Sable. Other problems are about the chassis, suspension and steering that vibrates when braking, ignition system that malfunctions, electrical and lighting systems that are also malfunctioning, drivetrain and driveline malfunction when starting or when cold, and engine that malfunctions when accelerating.
