1999 Ford Crown Victoria complaints

CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC NOTICED THAT INTAKE MANIFOLD CRACKED, ALLOWING FLUID TO LEAK ONTO THE ENGINE. *AK

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT FUEL TANK FIRES STARTED BY REAR END COLLISIONS. ALL RESEARCH I HAVE DONE STATES THAT FORD IS RECALLING POLICE CARS ONLY. AS A CONSUMER I THINK FORD OWES IT TO THE PUBLIC TO RECALL ALL FORD CROWN VICTORIA'S. MY FAMILY IS MORE IMPORTANT THEN THEIR BOTTOM LINE. MY WIFE AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING OUR CHILDREN AROUND IN THIS CAR. FORD NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEY ARE PUTTING OUT AN UNSAFE PRODUCT. *LA

I OWN A 1999 FORD CROWN VICTORIA SEDAN. I RECENTLY DISCOVERED, THAT ONE OF THE BOLTS CONNECTING THE UPPER CONTROL ARM TO THE FRAME, WAS MISSING THE NUT TO SECURE IT AND IT HAD BACKED ITSELF OUT OF THE MOUNTING BUSHING. THE BOLT HAD BACKED OUT ABOUT 2.5 INCHES WHEN I DISCOVERED IT. THIS LEFT ONLY ONE BOLT HOLDING THE UPPER CONTROL ARM TO THE CAR'S FRAME. THE CAR HAS ONLY 24,000 MILES ON IT AND WAS RECENTLY PURCHASED USED,AT A LOCAL DEALER. THE CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, EXCEPT FOR THE BOLT PROBLEM. I SUSPECT THAT THE BOLT CAME LOOSE ON ITS OWN BECAUSE I NOTICED THAT THE FACTORY APPLIED BLUE THREAD LOCK TO THE OTHER UPPER ARM BOLTS, BUT I FOUND NO TRACE OF THE COMPOUND ON THE BOLT THAT BACKED OUT OF THE BUSHING. THE BOLT CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE MOUNTING HOLE OF THE FRAME MOUNT AS WELL AS DAMAGING ITSELF. THE BOLT IS SLIGHTLY BENT AND SEVERAL THREADS ARE WORN OFF.THE RUBBING ACTION OF THE BOLT ELONGATED THE MOUNTING HOLE TOO. THIS MOUNT IS WELDED TO THE FRAME AT THE FACTORY AND I FEAR THAT I WILL BE STUCK WITH A MOUNT THAT IS WORN, EVEN THOUGH I AM GOING TO REPLACE THE WORN BOLT AND MISSING NUT WITH A FORD FACTORY REPLACEMENT PART.I AM COMPLAINING BECAUSE I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD OCCUR TO OTHER VEHICLES.I DID NOT NOTICE ANY PROBLEMS PRIOR TO DISCOVERING THE BOLT FALLING OUT. IF THIS BOLT LET LOOSE WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD BE WRITING THIS TO YOU. I WAS A CERTIFIED MECHANIC FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND I WORKED ON FORD VEHICLES AT TWO

CONSUMER HAS BEEN THE UNLUCKY OWNER OF A FORD CROWN VICTORIA. SHE DOES NOT FEEL SECURE IN THE VEHICLE UNTIL FORD MAKES A RECALL TO GET THEM FIXED.*AK. THE CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED ABOUT A POSSIBLE GAS TANK EXPLOSION IN AN EVENT OF A REAR END COLLISION. *TS *JB

WHILE DRIVING ALONG ON THE FREEWAY CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS HIT HEAD ON AT THE REAR WHEEL. UPON IMPACT, BOTH PASSENGER'S SIDE AND DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. CONSUMER READ IN MANUAL THAT THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. CONSUMER HAS SUSTAINED BODY INJURIES WHICH CAUSED HIM TO BE ALL BLACK AND BLUE ALL OVER. *AK

ON APRIL 15, 2003 I TOOK MY 1999 FORD CROWN VICTORIA (VIN [XXX]) TO THE BILL CURRIE FORD DEALERSHIP IN TAMPA, FLORIDA, FOR SERVICING. THE REAR BRAKE PADS WERE WORN OUT (2 MM REMAINING) WHILE THE FRONT BRAKE PAD WEAR WAS NORMAL (8 MM REMAINING). THE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS CHECKED AND NO MALFUNCTION WAS DETECTED. I NOTIFIED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND RECEIVED NO VIABLE EXPLANATION FOR THE EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE REAR BRAKES. I NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP VIA EMAIL AS REQUESTED BY FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND RECEIVED ONLY AN AUTOMATED REPLY. FORD MOTOR COMPANY INDICATED THAT MY REPORT TO THEM WOULD BE FORWARDED TO THEIR ENGINEERING DIVISION (I BELIEVE) BUT I HAVE RECEIVED NO FURTHER RESPONSE. I AM VERY MUCH CONCERNED THAT THE VEHICLE HAS AN AS YET UNDETECTED BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM SINCE IT WOULD BE NORMAL FOR THE FRONT BRAKE PADS TO WERE OUT FIRST. IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM AND THAT PROBLEM ESCALATES, THEN ALL THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE COULD BE IN JEOPARDY. *JB INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE "BATTERY" LIGHT. IT WOULD COME ON AND STAY ON. THE CAR WAS RETRUNED TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THE LAST TIME THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND WOULD ORDER A PART AND THAT THE CAR WAS "SAFE" TO DRIVE IN THE MEANTIME. NOT SO. THE CAR HAD LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER AND ENGINE SHUTDOWN. ENGINE SHUTDOWN, LOSS OF POWER STEERING, LOSS OF HYDRAULIC BRAKE AND LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. THE CAR WAS TOWN INTO THE DEALER THAT NIGHT. THEY DENY KNOWING THERE WOULD BE ANY "PROBLEM." SEE YOUR NHTSA RECALL NO. 94V056/FORD RECALL NO. 94S83. DIFFERENT YEAR AND REGION. SIMILAR "PROBLEM."

CONSUMER WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 65MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. WHILE DRIVING NOTICED A SMELL COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE DASHBOARD. ALSO, BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK

HAD TO POST ON THIS BLUE OVAL NEWS WEB SITE SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF EDUCATED CONSUMERS WHO UTILIZE BLUE OVAL NEWS RESEARCHING PRIOR TO THEIR VEHICLE PURCHASES. BESIDES THE KNOWN ISSUE OF THE DREADED PLASTIC RESIN INTAKE MANIFOLDS CRACKING ON THE 4.6L SOHC ENGINE ON THE FORD CROWN VICTORIA THERE IS A MORE CATASTROPHIC QUALITY ISSUE WITH THE CROWN VICTORIA AND THAT IS THE TORQUE CONVERTER SHUDDER ON THE CROWN VICTORIA 4R70W TRANSMISSION. STARTING WITH THE '92 MODEL YEAR AND IT'S AODE AND NOW THE 4R70W WHICH REPLACED THE AODE STARTING IN '98 FORD HAS KNOWN OF QUALITY ISSUES OF THEIR TRANSMISSIONS WHICH MANIFESTS ITSELF AS A HORRIBLE SHUDDER OR VIBRATION AS THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FROM 3RD GEAR GOING INTO 4TH GEAR (USUALLY TRANSITIONING FROM 40 TO 50 MPH!). I PURCHASED MY '99 CROWN VIC AND IT HAS PROVIDED ME RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION UNTIL JUST RECENTLY. I PICKED UP THIS HORRIBLE SHUDDER JUST 6 WEEKS PRIOR TO MY 3YR/36K FORD WARRANTY RUNNING OUT. WHEN THIS PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED WITH HAVING JUST 22K ON THE ODOMETER AND 6 WEEKS LEFT ON THE WARRANTY I QUICKLY BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR WARANTY WORK. UNIVERSAL FORD IN LONG ISLAND CITY, NY VALIDATED THAT INDEED THERE WAS A SHUDDER AND REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION WITH A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. I DROVE THE "REPAIRED" VEHICLE FROM NYC TO LEESBURG, VIRGINIA BUT ON THE RETURN TRIP THE SHUDDER CAME BACK WORSE THAN EVER. I MANAGED TO LIMP THE CAR BACK HOME AND THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT UNIVERSAL FORD SINCE. FOR THOSE OF YOU CONSIDERING A CROWN

THE CAR WAS PARKED WHEN I NOTICED THE MISSING PIECES OF TREAD. UPON CLOSER EXAMINATION OF THE TIRE, I NOTICED THAT THE SOME OF THE TREAD WAS SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE. ALSO SOME OF THE STEEL BELTS WAS SHOWING. I DROVED TO THE NEAREST GOODYEAR DEALER AND THEY INDICATED THAT THERE WAS 25% TREAD LEFT AND THE AMOUNT TO REPLACE THE TIRE WAS OVER $112.00. I WENT TO ANOTHER STORE AND PURCHASED ANOTHER BRAND OF TIRE WHICH WAS LESS EXPENSIVE THAN THE AMOUNT QUOTED BY THE GOODYEAR DEALER. I CONTACTED THE GOORYEAR CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY ALSO SAID THAT IT WAS AN EXPENSIVE TIRE AND THAT THEIR POLICY WAS TO PRORATE THE TIRE. I AM GLAD THAT I NOTICED THIS BEFORE GOING ON A LONG DISTANCE TRIP THIS WEEKEND. I HAVE 2 CONCERNS - 1..I NEED TO REPORT THE TIRE DEFECT TO SOMEBODY. 2. I THINK THAT SIMILIAR TO THE FIRESTONE SITUATION, GOODYEAR SHOULD AT LEAST PAY FOR PART OF THE TIRE REPLACEMENT, NOT JUST PRORATED BASED ON AN ARTIFICIALLY HIGH LIST PRICE. RECALL . *AK (DOT NUMBER: POXO BMER TIRESIZE: P225/60R16)

WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING SHUT OFF. THIS MEANT I HAD NO POWER, NO POWER STEERING, AND NO CONTROL.THE ENGINE STARTED AGAIN WHEN I USED THE STARTER. CAR ACTED NORMALLY UNTIL THE NEXT DAY THE SAME THING OCCURRED.THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. IF IT HAPPENED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR THE INTERSTATE A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND SO REFUSES TO TAKE ANY ACTION. FORD WILL NOT AUTHORIZE ANY CORRECTIVE ACTION EITHER. I FEEL THE CARE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL SOME COREECTIVE ACTION IS TAKEN. *AK

HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT BRIGHT, DO NOT PROJECT BEAM OF 365 FEET IN FRONT OF CAR, LIGHT DOES NOT LIGHT UP. DRIVER'S LICENSE PLATE IN FRONT, EVEN WITH HIGH BEAMS, A PADESTRIAN WAS CROSSING AND LIGHTS COULDN'T EVEN SEE HIM, AND CONSUMER ALMOST HIT PADESTRIAN. HIGH BEAMS GIVE OFF THE LIGHT THAT REGULAR BEAMS SHOULD. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, THEY SAID THEY ADJUSTED THEM ALL 3 THREE TIMES TO FORD'S JUSTIFACATION. DEALER TOLD CONSUMER THAT BEAM WASNOT HIGH ENOUGH. CONSUMER THOUGHT IT WAS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT, AND A HIGH RISK AT NIGHT. *AK

I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT A STRESS PROBLEM WITH THE WINDSHIELD ON MY CAR. WHILE IN FLORIDA I HAD A LARGE LINE START RUNNING DOWN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDSHIELD TO THE MIDDLE AND THEN ACCROSS TOWARDS THE DRIVERS SIDE. THERE WAS NO CRACK OR CHIP ANYWHERE IN THE WINDSHIELD. IT CREATED A VISION PROBLEM AS IT KEPT FLICKERING LIGHT. THIS CONDITION WAS WORSE AT NIGHT. THE FORD DEALER IN KISSIMMEE TOLD ME HE HAD A LOT OF THIS PROBLEM AND IT WAS STRESS. HE COULD NOT REPLACE IT AS FORD WOULD GIVE HIM A HARD TIME. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME WITH THIS. THE DRIVING AT NIGHT WAS WORSE AS THE FLICKERING BECAME A SERIES OF BLUE AND WHITE. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A GLASS COMPANY AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A CRACK ANYWHERE. THEY SAID IT WAS A STRESS PROBLEM. WE TOOK IT TO NASSAR FORD IN LAWRENCE, MASS AND THEY CALLED FORD AND THEY REPLACED THE WINDSHEILD. FORD SHOULD BE MADE TO FIX THESE WINDSHIELDS AT ANY DEALER FOR THERE CUSTOMERS AS IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK TO A DRIVER. *AK
