Mercury Sable 2001 sedan, 47,300 miles, both front axle seals warped. This was discovered during an oil change when the car was on a lift. Many other consumers may not be aware that this may be occurring in their cars. Icalled Ford customer service center and they would not warranty beyond 36,000 miles. Ithe consumer told them there was nothing in the printed owner's manual concerning extended drivetrain warranty. They should not be failing at such a low mileage. It may lead to serious problems, and consumers should not be responsible to fix this-- there should be a recall.
