1995 Mercury Grand Marquis complaints

FUEL SYSTEM LEAKS BETWEEN THE FILLER PIPE AND THE GAS TANK, CAUSING SEVERE LEAKAGE. *AK EVERY TIME CONSUMER GASES UP THE VEHICLE AND IT SAT PARKED, THERE WAS A LARGE PUDDLE OF GAS ON THE GARAGE FLOOR. CONSUMER'S DAUGHTER FOUND INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET PERTAINING TO 95 GRAND MARQUIS'. THE DEALER STATED THAT CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *PH *NLM

BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT WARNING. RED BRAKE CAUTION LIGHT WAS OBSERVED ONLY AFTER THE FAILURE.THERE WAS NO BRAKING POWER. I HAD TO DRIVE HOME SLOWLY WITH USE OF PARKING BRAKE. I OBSERVED A LARGE AMOUNT OF BRAKE FLUID DRIPPING FROM THE AREA IN FRONT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WHEEL. WITH THE CAR JACKED UP, UPON CLOSER INSPECTION, I OBSERVED THAT THERE WAS A SECTION OF THE BRAKE LINE RUSTED, CORRODED AND WET FROM BRAKE FLUID. THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE BRAKE LINE AS IT MAY HAVE RUBBED A HOLE IN THE BRAKE LINE DUE TO CLOSE CONTACT WITH THE FRAME. I FURTHER OBSERVED A SMALL PIECE OF BLACK CLOTH ELECTRICAL TAPE UNDER THE AFFECTED BRAKE LINE FAILURE. I ALSO OBSERVED THAT THAT THERE WAS A PINK COLOR PAINT ON THE RUBBER DONUT THAT IS USED BETWEEN THE FRAME AND BODY AND THAT THERE WAS A THE SAME COLOR PINK (DOT THE SIZE OF A QUARTER) PAINTED ON THE CENTER OF THE DRIVERS REAR SIDE BRAKE DISK. THIS POSSBILY DONOTES THAT THERE WAS A DEALER UPDATE IN THE PAST. THIS WAS DONE WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE AS I HAVE ALL THE REPAIR SLIPS SINCE. SERVICE DEALER DISAVOWS ANY KNOWLEDGE OF PAST PROBLEMS DESPITE THE DOCUMENTS THAT WERE PROVIDED TO THEM. I WAS ADVISED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO GET THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND PAY A $85.00 CHARGE BEFORE BEING PROVIDED A ESTIMATE TO REPAIR. I HAVE TAKE SEVERAL DIGITAL PHOTOS OF THE AFFECTED AREA AND ANOTHER AREA OF THE BRAKE LINE THAT HAD BEEN RUBBING AGAINST A SHARP EDGE OF THE FRAME BUT HAS NOT YET FAILED. I ALSO OBSERVED THAT THE COMPRESSION RUBBER DONUT TH

WINDOW REGULATOR CABLE IS BREAKING AND SHATTERING THE WINDOW. WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THREE TIMES SO FAR.

POWER WINDOW REGULATORS IN MY 1995 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS LS HAVE CONTINUED TO FAIL DUE TO DESIGN FAULTS. I HAVE TALKED WITH SEVERAL FORD TECHNICIANS WHO HAVE CLAIMED THAT THIS IS A MAJOR DEFECT IN THE GRAND MARQUIS SERIES. THE DRIVER WINDOW, FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW, AND DRIVER SIDE REAR PASSENGER WINDOW REGULATORS HAVE ALL FAILED. THE WIRE THAT COILS ALLOWING THE WINDOW TO GO UP AND DOWN IS ALMOST DESTROYED. WINDOW WILL NOT WORK WITH THIS DEFECT AND CAUSES THE WINDOW TO SLIDE DOWN DURING OPERATION.

WE PURCHASED FROM AN OLD GENTLEMAN OF OUR AQUAINTENCE THIS CAR THAT SHOWED 56000 MILES. THE CAR WAS WOBBLY AND UN-STEADY. WE TOOK IT TO OUR MECHANIC WHO SUGGESTED WE PUT NEW SHOCKS WHICH DID NOT HELP. WE HAD FELT A STRANGE FLOATING SENSATION THE DAY BEFORE WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. THE AFTERNOON OF THE INCIDENT WE HEARD A NOISE IN THE REAR AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING VERY BAD. THE DRIVER APPLIED BRAKES WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO SPIN AROUND AND HEAD TO THE DITCH. HE GOT IT BACK ON THE ROAD, APPLIED BRAKES AGAIN, AGAIN LOST CONTROL, FINALLY GOT IT STOPPED. WITNESS HEARD A METALIC SOUND BEFORE, WENT BACK LATER AND PICKED UP A 2 1/2 INCH BOLT WHICH WAS MISSING FROM THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE STABLIZER BAR AND REAR AXLE. I FEEL THIS IS AN EXTREME DANGER. WE FEEL THERE WAS A DEFECT IN THE REAR SUSPENSION ALL ALONG. WE REPLACED THE BOLT BUT THE CAR IS STILL WOBBLY AND SHAKEY IN THE REAR. THANKS FOR ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN SUPPLY. DT
