| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Without any indication of approaching failure, the transmission failed on me. the car from parked position could be backed in reverse gear to the street, but would not go forward in "d" it does go forward, but takes up too much engine rpm - slippage?- to pick up speed. then you can switch gears to 2nd and 3rd (d with overdrive off) and 4th (with od engaged) gear. i haven't risked topping 45 mph in my test run. apparently there is some problem with transmission that does not allow it to move forward when put in "d" and seems like taking too much rpm to pick up load when gears are changed manually. i have browsed through this web site for complaints launched by other '97 sable owners, but i could not find any one with similar problem.*ak |
