I have a number of worries with my vehicle. The following are: When playing the radio/tape deck, you hear a loud buzzing noise coming through the speakers even if the radio is turned down; when steering from left to right you'll hear a cranking noise coming from the front end of car; car does not absorb bumps at all, it rocks, makes knocking noise coming from somewhere near wheels; when driving on highway at a speed of about 50-70 mph, car will sway, like a wind is blowing it away; feul sensor will float, you can not count on it to tell you how much gas you have; trunk hood flips up in the air so fast and hard, I have stunted my fingers before on it; the doors on the car have a sharp edge to it, if you don't stand back when opening the door, it can gash your leg; wind shield are a blind spot, to long, wipers are so strong they vibrate the car, unusually strong; back window on left side (passenger) will not roll up, or roll down sometimes; assembly of light moldings/fixtures in back of car are off(not evenly lined up), so is the leveling of trunk lid; car jumps when starting it up, like it's ready to pull off, even when your foot is on the brake; when moving the gears the car makes a knocking noise, and jumps also; brake light comes on and goes off at times; car loses power at times, even after the transmission was replaced in February, 2001; keyless alarm system is sensitive, sometimes a inconvience, if you pick keys up and touch the panic, or trunk release button it can be set off in the house, behind a brick wall.

This poroblem affects all 1996 through1999 Mercury Sable &Ford tauruses. It is not advertised nor listed in equipment specifications on the msrp. The trunk lid is not manufactured with galvanized steel. It was manufactured with either plastic or aluminum. The only way I found out about thi S was when I attempted to put my magnetic C.B. antenna on the trunk. The antenna wouldn't attach to the trunk. I tried the magnet on all Sable and tauruses from '96 through 99, and the same thing happened. I tried the magnet on Contour, Mystique, escorts, Ford crown vic's, grand marqui's, Lincoln and the magnetic antenna worked. I seriously think the government should do something about this problem. I believe if these automobiles are involved in a rear end collision it would cause greater injuries than if the vehicle was manufactured with steel. I will apprecite hearing from you Agency since the person I spoke with on the phone said I should contact you. Thank you very much, james H. lane.
