Car stalls in warm weather. On one of many stalled occasions I was stopped at a red light and when it turned green the car lunged as if it were moving but stalled and a man in a truck behind me slammed on his brakes but a woman behind him slammed into his truck. They had an accident because my car stalled and stopped short. Also, right rear window wont go down sometimes. The A/C stinks and the heater smells like super hot dried burnt carpeting. There's a gas smells so heavy at times in the back seat I'm scared for my children to be back there. The dash lights get so hot I'm afraid it's going to melt something or start a fire. The car is had to start on certain days. Other days it starts right up. Sometimes the car starts and runs great. Other days it starts but you can feel something isn't right and the car will feel like it's on the verge of stalling but then you can hear it start back up again. Almost like the ignition is turning on and off. I have a list of all the repairs done to my car just after I purchased it and there is some major bills in this pile! reading that other people are having the same exact problems with their Sable is proof that Ford put out an unsafe car! I haven't got the money to buy another car. I can hardly afford to fix the one I have but it's all I got. Shame on Ford! I won't be buying another Ford in the future unless they resolve this mess!
