Defect. Ford Motor Company (Ford) is recalling certain model year 2005-2011 Ford Crown Victoria, 2005-2011 Mercury Grand Marquis vehicles manufactured March 23, 2004, to August 30, 2011, and 2005-2011 Lincoln Town Car vehicles manufactured March 8, 2004, to August 30, 2011, and on which the upper intermediate shaft was serviced during the course of safety recall 13V-385. The prior repairs may not have been correctly performed.

Risk. Improper servicing of the upper intermediate shaft could cause the shaft to separate, which can then result in a loss of steering control, and increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Ford will notify the owners of vehicles whose repair records reflect that the upper intermediate steering shaft was repaired during the course of the prior recall 13V-385. Dealers will inspect and replace the upper immediate shaft if necessary free of charge. The recall began November 17, 2014. Owners may contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332.

Severe corrosion can seize the lower intermediate shaft which may cause the upper intermediate shaft to collapse and the steering column lower bearing to separate.

Risk. If the lower bearing separates, the vehicle may experience a loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy. Ford will notify owners and dealers will replace the lower intermediate shaft, free of charge. The upper intermediate shaft and steering column lower bearing will be inspected to identify any damage that may have occurred as a result of lower intermediate shaft corrosion, and repaired or replaced as necessary. If the steering column lower bearing has separated, a retainer clip will be installed. The recall began on October 23, 2013. Owners may contact Ford at 1-866-436-7332. Ford's recall number is 13S08.

DUE TO INCORRECT DESIGN, THE QUICK CONNECTORS MAY NOT FULLY SEAT WITH THE TUBE INTERFACE, EVEN THOUGH THE PERSON MAKING THE CONNECTION MAY BELIEVE THAT THE QUICK CONNECTOR IS FULLY ATTACHED.

Risk. FAILURE OF THIS CONNECTION COULD LEAD TO FUEL SPILLAGE AND, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, A FIRE COULD OCCUR.

Remedy. UFI WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND REPLACE THE FILTERS FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 4, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT UFI FILTERS USA AT 800-230-5876.

The contact owns a 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the driver’s side exhaust manifold shield fell into the steering linkage and caused the vehicle to run over a bush. There was no crash or injuries reported. The vehicle was taken to a certified mechanic, but there was no diagnostic information provided. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 136,000.

5/9/2021 The SRS dashboard light came on with a bell warning. Bell quits after a short time but the light stays on solid. When turning ignition on, light and bell comes on, blinks 3 times, does this 6 times and then stays on solid. When driving hear bell for 5 times, this repeats later for a total of 5 times. After turning the ignition switch on/off I hear a sound from under the driver or passenger seat. The passenger side air bag light does light. I bought this car new.

The contact owns a 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. The contact stated that while stopped at a stop sign and attempting to accelerate, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. The contact stated that there was a loud clanking sound coming from the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with transmission failure. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.

The contact owns a 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the vehicle was pulling to the left. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated after coming to a complete stop at a traffic light, he noticed that the steering shaft was fractured and detaching. The contact stated that he put the steering shaft back into place; however, the failure recurred while pulling to the front of his brother's residence. The contact stated that the power steering pulley and shaft were fractured, and the engine was overheating. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure through an online chat. The failure mileage was unknown.

Driver and Passenger side seat belt pretensioners failed and have resulted in airbags being inoperable.

Around 12 years ago, when my 2006 Marquis, which I purchased brand new, had only approximately 40,000 miles on it, the seatbelt-airbag system warning appeared on the instrument panel and a warning bell sound went off with a 3 beep then 2 beeps/ring tone that would sound whenever the vehicle was started for the next two minutes of driving. It would then stop but the yellow warning icon stays on. On a trip, while driving, it will do this every hour or so or 60 miles of driving, and has done this ever since. (I'm retired and drive very little, my vehicle as of today (5-13-2022) has only 54,462 actual miles on it.) I did some research when it first occurred and learned that the 3 - 2 beeps is a "code 32, seat belt pre-tensioner failure warning and will need immediate service and replacement." So I then called Ford and explained it as above. They told me that it is not their problem and are not acknowledging any responsibility and it will be up to me to see a dealer, which I did. I was told that it would require replacement of both my seat front seat belts, and possibly more including airbag components to the tune of several thousand dollars! I asked them, as I did Ford: As I've had many Ford vehicles, personal and company, several of which I've driven over 200K miles, without ever having a seat belt or airbag component failure, how is this MY problem and not Ford's, especially after only 40K miles? I had asked Ford these two most important questions: 1- "What did I do to CAUSE TH

The contact owns a 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. The contact stated that after the vehicle was started and shifted into drive(D), the vehicle lost power steering functionality. The contact stated that excessive force was needed to steer the vehicle. The contact stated that once the vehicle was driving the power steering functionality returned. The contact stated that an unknown warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the steering rack: Part Number: (A, 36-1056N) needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, however, the failure recurred. The contact researched the failure online and related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 13V385000 (Steering). The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.

SAME PROBLEM AS REPORTED ON NHTSA ID NUMBER: 11405633

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND DRIVING FOR 2 MINUTES, THE AIR BAGS AND SEAT BELTS WARNING LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE WITH AN AUDIBLE BEEP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO RON TIRAPELLI FORD, INC.

THE VEHICLE REMAINED AT THE DEALER UNREPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000.

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT RIGHT SIDE DOES NOT WORK.

AS I WAS DRIVING. 35MPH MY FRONT WHEEL ON THE DRIVER SIDE HAD SNAPPED OFF CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO A PARKED VEHICLE. LONG STORY SHORT. I'M GOING THRU A FINANCIAL CRISIS. MY CAR WAS TOWED BY AAA TO MY HOUSE. I NOTIFIED MY INSURANCE COMPANY. WHY DID THE POLICE TOW MY CAR AWAY FROM MY HOUSE? SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS BECAUSE I CAN'T. TRANSPORTATION IS ESSENTIAL TO ME. PLEASE I NEED HELP. *TR

THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN WHILE STOPPED WITH THE BRAKE DEPRESSED. ONCE IN A PARKING LOT WAITING FOR A SPOT TO CLEAR.THE SECOND TIME WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. I HELD THE BRAKE DOWN AS HARD AS I COULD WHILE THE CAR DID A BURN OUT AND I NOTICED THE TRACTION LIGHT COME ON. IT THEN JUST WENT BACK TO NORMAL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. SOMEONE IN FRONT OF THE CAR (ANOTHER DRIVER OR PEDESTRIAN) CAN SERIOUSLY GET HURT OR KILLED.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND HAS A DINGING NOISE THAT GOES THROUGH A CYCLE OF DINGING 5 TIMES THEN HAS BREAK OF APPROXIMATELY 15 MIN THEN DOES IT AGAIN. HAS NOT BEEN IN ACCIDENT AND SHOWS NO SIGN OF PROBLEM WITH ACTUAL PARTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE FUEL TANK WAS CLOSE TO THE GROUND. UPON INSPECTION, IT WAS EVIDENT THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE FUEL TANK STRAP FRACTURED DUE TO CORROSION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCK FEATURE WAS INOPERABLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE DRIVER'S DOOR FAILED TO UNLOCK WHILE USING THE KEY FOB.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,000.

AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND BLINKS CODE 3 3 THEN DINGS AN ALARM 5 DINGS X 5 TIMES EVERY 30 MINUTES, LIGHT STAYS ON. I UNDERSTAND CODE 33 OR 34 ARE SEAT BELT PRETENTIONERS THAT ARE KNOWN TO FAIL ON MID 2000'S FORD VEHICLES. MINE IS 2006 GRAND MARQUIS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN MATERIALS CAUSING A SAFTEY CONCERN FOR MYSELF AND PASSENGERS. THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IS DISABLED UNTIL REPAIRED AND THE REPAIR IS VERY EXPENSIVE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS A DRIVER SIDE PRETENTIONER HIGH RESISTANCE FAILURE. THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED THEY REPLACE BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE SINCE THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL MOST LIKELY ALSO FAIL SOON ACCORDING TO HIS EXPERIANCE. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED TO HAVE PRETENSIONERS REPLACED SINCE IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT AND SAFETY HAZARD CAUSED BY FORD PARTS.

PLASTIC COVER ON INTAKE CRACKED AND LEAKED COOLANT

TAMARA I JUST LOVE THIS CAR. I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY HAVE TO MAKE CHEAPER CARS AN SMALLER TRUNKS. ANY WAY ON DRIVER SIDE THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. AN AS I'M TRYING TO GET SOMEWHERE.

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON AND MAKES A PINGING NOISE OFTEN. THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THEY SHOULD HAVE A RECALL ON THIS. SEEMS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

WHILE ENTERING ONTO THE WOODROW WILSON BRIDGE FROM I-295S ON 2/1/2018, I PULLED INTO THE CENTER LANE AND BACKED OFF THE GAS PEDAL, BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. LUCKILY THE TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT, AFTER HITTING THE BRAKE AND THE OFF BUTTON FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL, TO NO EFFECT, I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO THE RIGHT LANE AND TURN THE CAR OFF. WHILE STILL IN MOTION, I TURNED THE KEY BACK ON AND EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL AGAIN. SINCE IT WASN'T A CRUISE CONTROL ISSUE, IT WOULD APPEAR IT IS SIMILAR TO THE TOYOTA PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVE BY WIRE ISSUE.

STEERING WHEEL WONT LOCK WHEN I TURN OFF THE ENGINE DON'T KNOW IF ITS PART OF A RECALL AND DIDN'T FIX IT RIGHT... BRAKE LIGHT WHEN I STEP HARD ON BRAKE PEDAL THE BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON FOR FEW SECONDS.

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON VEHICLE WHEN OPENING DOOR, TOOK TO PRIVATE SHOP AND DEALER FUTURE FORD OF ROSEVILLE AND BOTH STATES IT IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. CALLED FORD ON THEIR TOLL FREE NUMBER AND STATED SINCE IT'S NOT A NTSB RECALL THEY ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO FIX. ERROR IS THAT TENSIONER SPRING OR/AND CANISTER IN TENSIONER IS OVER SENSITIVE AND WILL LIKELY FAIL AND CAUSE A HIGH OHM READING TO THE COMPUTER, CAUSING ERROR LIGHT ON, TO BLINK 3-3 FOR DRIVER SIDE OR 3-4 FOR PASSENGER, AND DISABLING AIRBAGS. DEALERSHIP IS BACK LOGGED ON ORDERS FOR NEW SEATBELT ASSEMBLIES, THAT IN SOME CASES MAY TAKE OVER TWO WEEKS FOR ORDER TO CLEAR. ASSEMBLIES ARE FAULTY BY DESIGN. NTSB SHOULD INVESTIGATE FORD AND MAKE A MANDATORY RECALL FOR THIS AND SIMILAR MODELS AND MULTIPLE YEARS THAT USE THIS ASSEMBLY TYPE, SINCE THIS ISSUE IS A SAFETY RISK, AND A DESIGN FAULT.

I DROVE IT TO A PRIVATE REPAIR SHOP THAT MAINTAINS MY VEHICLES. HE DIAGNOSED IT AS THE FAILURE OF THE SEAT BELT PRE-TENSIONER ASSEMBLY.

MY 2006 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS LS PREMIUM CAR HAS AN UNRESOLVED STALLING ISSUE. THE PROBLEM IS EXACERBATED WHEN THE CAR'S ENGINE WARMS UP, ESPECIALLY DURING WARMER WEATHER. IT TENDS TO STALL OUT AT EXTENDED STOPLIGHTS OR IF THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE STOPPED WITHIN A SHORT DISTANCE. MY CAR FIRST BEGAN STALLING AFTER I HAD IT WASHED IN GASOLINE STATION'S AUTOMATIC CAR WASH. SHORTLY AFTER IT WAS WASHED, THE ENGINE BEGAN RUNNING EXTREMELY ROUGH AND THEN FINALLY STALLED OUT WITH THE 'ENGINE' LIGHT ON YELLOW LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD. THE FIRST TWO MASTER MECHANICS OF TWO DIFFERENT REPAIR FACILITIES SUGGESTED THAT THE ENGINE'S PCM WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A FORD DEALERSHIP. I TOOK MY CAR TO A THIRD REPAIR FACILITY AND THE MECHANIC SWAPPED OUT A USED PCM FOR A 4.6 L APPLICATION AND REPROGRAMMED IT FOR FORD'S MOST RECENTLY ISSUED SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE CAR CONTINUES TO STALL AFTER THE USED PCM WAS REPROGRAMMED AND THE MECHANIC CONCLUDED THAT HE WAS SURE THAT THE STALLING PROBLEM IS NOT RELATED TO THE ENGINE'S PCM! I'VE PAID APPROXIMATELY $874.00 AMONG THREE DIFFERENT AUTOMOBILE REPAIR FACILITIES AND ALL MASTER MECHANICS AMONG THESE THREE GARAGES COULD NOT PINPOINT WHY MY VEHICLE IS STALLING. FINALLY, A MASTER MECHANIC OF A VOLUNTEER CHURCH GARAGE ALSO COULD NOT PINPOINT WHY MY CAR CONTINUES TO STALL AND HE SUGGESTS THAT THE ONLY FIX IS TO SELL MY CAR. WHEN I CALLED A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO SEE HOW THEY WOULD TRY TO FIX IT, THE SERVICE MANAGER EXPLAINED THAT THEY WOULD TRY TO RE

START ENGINE, AIR BAG LIGHT ON DASH ILLUMINATES, BEEP ALARM SOUNDS FOR A SERIES OF FIVE BEEPS FOLLOWED BY 1 SECOND OF SILENCE, AND REPEATS FOR FIVE REPETITIONS OF THE SAME. LIGHT REMAINS ON AND AFTER 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING ON ROAD OPERATION, THE ALARM REPEATS FOR 5 REPETITIONS AS BEFORE. THIS CONTINUES AS LONG AS THE ENGINE IS OPERATED WITHOUT TURNING OFF. WHEN SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED, THE ALARM STARTS ALL OVER FOR THE SERIES OF 5 BEEPS IN 5 REPETITIONS. MY DEALER SAYS THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND WANTS OVER $800.00 FOR A NEW COMPUTER MODULE. I HAVE NO WAY TO DOCUMENT COMPLAINT OR DEALER RESPONSE.

ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2015 I PURCHASED A USED 2006 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS LS. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON. I SUBSEQUENTLY FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN SOME MINOR DAMAGE TO THE LOWER FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, NOT RESULTING IN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. IN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM AND TO DETERMINE IF THERE HAD BEEN AN AIRBAG RECALL BY THE NHTSA, I FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN 57 REGISTERED COMPLAINTS ON THE REPAIR PAL WEBSITE AND THAT A COMPLAINT HAD ALSO BEEN FILED WITH THE NHTSA.FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A RESULT OF DEFECTIVE SEAT-BELT ASSEMBLIES. THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM AS IT EFFECTS THE PROPER FUNCTIONALITY OF THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION.
