Two problems related to body have been reported for the 1999 Mercury Sable. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Rear subframe connection passenger side rusted through due to factory put air conditioner condensate line so that it constantly dumps condensate on this area instead of draining condensate beyond and to the ground. The result is a rusted out severed connection thereby causing the engine and transmission to be held by only three of the four connections needed to safely hold engine and transmission as designed from the factory.
Vehicle was involved in a frontal collision at 40 mph, and neither air bag deployed. Dealer and manufacturer were not notified at this time. Consumer stated that the ash try would not stay inplace due to center cosole failure and was replaced.
