1992 FORD Crown Victoria Problems

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC

77 complaints

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1992 FORD CROWN VICTORIA. WHEN THE CONTACT PLACES HER VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND DEPRESSES THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATES TO 40 MPH AND THE ENGINE RPMS INCREASE. SHE MUST APPLY THE BRAKES WITH BOTH FEET IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTERWARDS, SHE SMELLS THE SCENT OF BURNING PLASTIC. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE FAILURE COULD BE CAUSED BY THE BRAKE PRESSURE SWITCH. HE INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT BRAKE FLUID MAY BE FLOWING TO THE SWITCH AND CAUSING THE HEAT TO ACTIVATE. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE AND COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT HE LOSES BRAKE POWER OCCASIONALLY, EVEN THOUGH BRAKE FLUID IS PRESENT. HE ALSO NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH IS CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. THE POWERTRAIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 33,000.

Jul 27, 2007

THIS CAR HAD CONTINUED BRAKE DEFECTS FROM 03/29/01 (OUR FIRST FIRE) UNTIL THE LAST FIRE. WE SPENT NEARLY $4,000 ON BRAKES, EACH TIME BEING TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. FINALLY, AFTER THE LAST FIRE IN FREMONT, NY, 3 DAYS AFTER THE LAST REPAIR BILL OF NEARLY $800 FOR BRAKES, THE COMPANY FOUND A STATEMENT FROM FORD SAYING THIS PARTICULAR MAKE COULD HAVE A BAD BOOSTER (FROM THE FACTORY), WHICH WOULD NOT SLOW THE CAR PROPERLY AFTER 60 MPH AND CAUSE EXCESSIVE WEAR AND BRAKE FAILURE. WE WERE THE FIRST PEOPLE TO DRIVE THIS CAR OVER 60 MPH; THE TWO FORMER OWNERS WERE FAMILY MEMBERS WHO DID GOOD TO DRIVE IT 50 MPH. THE DEALER USED THE FOLLOWING TO FIX THE CAR: WWW.FORDTECHSERVICE.DEALER CONNECTION.COM/TPSCONTENT/USEN14/TN1902.HTM. HE TOLD MY HUSBAND FORD OFTEN DOESN'T ISSUE RECALLS UNTIL SOMEONE HAS TROUBLE WITH A PART. FORD KNEW THIS EXISTED; IT IS DATED 08/09/1992. WE FEEL FORD SHOULD BE MADE TO ANSWER WHY THEY DID NOT ISSUE A RECALL THAT CAUSED NOT ONE, BUT TWO FIRES; THE LAST ONE ON RECORD WITH FREMONT, NY POLICE AND FIRE TRUCKS, WHO RESPONDED, AND WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORSE., NOT TO MENTION REFUND SOME OF OUR MONEY. IF A RECALL HAD BEEN ISSUED, THE PROBLEM WOULD HAVE BEEN SOLVED. NO ONE ELSE SHOULD HAVE TO SPEND $4,000 ON BRAKES IN 50,000 MILES, AND HAVE THEM CATCH ON FIRE THREE DAYS AFTER A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR JOB. ALL OTHER MAJOR CAR MAKERS ISSUE RECALLS BEFORE OWNERS HAVE PROBLEMS, IF THEY KNOW IT. WHY DOESN'T FORD? WHY DON'T YOU MAKE THEM DO THAT?*AK

DRIVE WITH MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE. THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY ACCELERATED TO A HIGH RPM AND PUT THE CAR IN MOTION, I WAS ABLE TO HOLD THE SPEED DOWN WITH THE BRAKE, BUT NOT STOP IT. AFTER ABOUT THIRTY FEET I PUT THE SHIFT LEVER INTO PARK. THE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY DROPPED TO NORMAL RPM AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP WITHIN TEN FEET OF A HEAVY TRAVELED INTERSECTION. THIS WAS TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT!

I PARKED MY 1992 FORD CROWN VICTORIA ON THE STREET WHILE I WAS AT MY HOME FOR 45 MINUTES. I DECIDED TO LEAVE TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. WHEN I GOT TO MY CAR, I SMELLED BURNING AND SAW WISPS OF SMOKE COMING FROM UNDERNEATH MY ENGINE AREA. I QUICKLY OPENED MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AND SMELLED SMOKE AND POPPED THE HOOD. INSIDE, THERE WAS A SMALL FIRE (GRAPEFRUIT SIZE) IN FRONT OF THE STEERING COLUMN. I RAN INTO THE HOUSE AND GOT SOME WATER AND DOUSED THE FLAMES. I WAS VERY LUCKY, BECAUSE I SEEM TO HAVE CAUGHT THE FIRE WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF WHEN IT STARTED. I TOOK THE CAR INTO MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, AND THE PROBLEM WAS THE CRUISE CONTROL DEACTIVATION SWITCH. THEY REPLACED THE CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH AND A WIRING HARNESS THAT HAD BURNED (AT MY EXPENSE). THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED. I CALLED FORD TO DISCUSS THIS ISSUE, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR WAS UNDER RECALL BACK IN 1999, AND THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED ON 7/7/1999 WHEN MY DAD OWNED THE CAR. THIS WAS ACTUALLY EVEN MORE CONCERNING TO ME, BECAUSE THE REPLACEMENT SWITCH, WHICH SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE ORIGINAL SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION PROBLEM, SEEMS TO BE DEFECTIVE AS WELL!! SO MY CAR IS NOW ON ITS SECOND "FIXED" CRUISE CONTROL SWITCH. I AM ALSO CONCERNED FROM MY DISCUSSION WITH THE NHTSA REPRESENTATIVE. HE SAID THAT NO RECALLS CAN BE ISSUED FOR VEHICLES THAT ARE OVER 10 YEARS OLD. HE THEN TOLD ME THAT MY COMPLAINT WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING SINCE MY CAR WAS OVER 10 YEARS OLD. I DON'T EXPECT TO BE REIMBURSED FROM MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE FIRE, HOWEVER, THIS IS DISTURBING TO ME KNOWING THAT MY COMPLAINT COULD BE DISMISSED OUT OF HAND. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT OTHERS DON'T HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. ESPECIALLY WHEN DEALING WITH A CAR SETTING ITSELF ON FIRE WHEN IT IS NOT RUNNING. THIS COMPLAINT SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY EVALUATED BEFORE DISMISSING IT. IF THE CAR HAD BEEN PARKED IN MY GARAGE WHILE I SLEPT, IT COULD HAVE EASILY BURNED DOWN THE HOUSE, OR KILLED SOMEONE. *NM

STEERING

14 complaints

THIS PROBLEM CONCERNS THE STEERING COLUMN OF A 1992 FORD CROWN VICTORIA RUBBING AGAINST A METAL GAS LINE UNTIL LARGE AMOUNTS OF GAS SPILL ONTO THE HOT ENGINE AND CAUSE A SAFETY OF LIFE PROBLEM... AS LONG AS THE ENGINE REMAINS ON THE ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP WILL CONTINUE TO PUMP GAS ONTO THE FIRE CAUSED BY THE FAULT. PLEASE NOTICE THAT I AM AN ENGINEER AND THIS IS NOT A SMALL MATTER - IT INVOLVES MANY THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES AND AN IDENTICAL VEHICLE HAS HAD A RECALL - YET FORD HAS NOT HAD A RECALL ON THIS MODEL ALTHOUGH I TOOK THIS ISSUE TO THE TOP OF FORD MOTOR COMPANY. THE ISSUE DEALS WITH A GASOLINE LEAK CAUSED BY THE STEERING COLUMN RUBBING ON A METAL GAS LINE - CAUSING GASOLINE TO LEAK FROM THE WORN GAS LINE IN LARGE AMOUNTS. I FIRST NOTICED THE LEAK FROM THE SMELL OF GAS - THEN I NOTICED LARGE POOLS OF GAS LEAKING FROM UNDER MY CAR. AFTER INVESTIGATING THE CAUSE, WHICH WAS THE ROTATING STEERING COLUMN RUBBING ON THE GAS LINE, I CONTACTED THE FORD DEALER AND I CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY WHO PUT ME OFF TO AN AREA PERSON WHO REBUFFED MY COMPLAINT. THE DEALER SHOWED ME A RECALL FOR THE LINCOLN CONTINENTAL WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM.... THE LINCOLN CONTINENTAL AND THE FORD CROWN VICTORIA ARE IDENTICAL IN THIS RESPECT.... THE RECALL SHOWED THE EXACT GAS LINE AND THE PROBLEM.... CHECK FOR YOURSELF.... THE LINCOLN CONTINENTAL AND THE FORD CROWN VICTORIA ARE EXACTLY THE SAME UNDER THE HOOD. THE RECALL SHOWED THE SAME GAS LINE AND THE SAME PROBLEM. HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE A CREDIBLE ORGANIZATION, YOU WILL RESEARCH THIS BY SIMPLY LOOKING AT THE RECALL FOR THE LINCOLN CONTINENTAL AND WONDER WHY THE RECALL NEVER HAPPENED FOR THE FORD CROWN VICTORIA.... KEEP IN MIND THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A SAFETY OF LIFE SITUATION..... THE GAS LEAK IS CONSIDERABLE..... IT WAS A RECALL ON THE LINCOLN CONTINENTAL AND YET, NEVER SHOWED UP FOR THE FORD CROWN VICTORIA. E-MAIL ME BACK I CAN'T FIGURE OUT YOUR SERIAL NUMBER THANK YOU, *NM

(1.) MY CAR IS A 1992 FORD, CROWN VICTORIA LX. - I GOT INTO THE VEHICLE AND LEANED BACK ON THE BACK OF THE SEAT TO GET SOMETHING OUT OUT OF MY PANTS POCKET. AS I PRESSED ON THE BACK OF THE SEAT THERE WAS A METALIC "SNAP" SOUND AND THE BACK OF THE SEAT FLOPPED BACK 3 TO 4 INCHES ON THE DRIVER DOOR SIDE. LATER ON VIEWING THE SEAT FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF THE BRAKE PEDDLE I WAS ABLE TO DETERMING THAT A WELDED IN CIRCULAR, THREADED, METAL, TAPPED FASTENER, (A CUSTOM MADE NUT) HAD TORN THROUGH THE PRESSED METAL FRAM THAT ATTACHED IT TO THE MOTORIZED PORTION OF THE SEAT. THE RESULTING HOLE IN THE PRESSED METAL FRAME COMPONENT WAS ABOUT ONE INCH IN DIAMETER. (2) THE FAILURE OF THE SEAT MAKES THE VEHICLE IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE. (3.) I HAVE CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND FOUND NONE RELATING TO THE SEAT EXCEPT FOR AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE. I HAVEN'T REPAIRED THE VEHICLE AS YET BUT I WILL LIKELY GO TO A AUTOMOBILE RECYCLING YARD AND LOOK FOR ANOTHER SEAT. OF COURSE INSPECTING FIRST FOR THE SAME FAILURE.

THE "ANTI-LOCK" LIGHT ILLUMINATES ON THE DASH AS YOU DRIVE THE CAR. IT RESETS AFTER THE ENGINE HAS BEEN SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED, BUT THE LIGHT REAPPEARS AFTER USING THE BRAKES A FEW TIMES. THIS SEEMS TO OCURR MORE DURING HOTTER TEMPERATURES. I KNOW, FROM EXPERIENCE, THAT IF THE ANTI-LOCK WARNING LIGHT APPEARS, THE SYSTEM "IS" MALFUNCTIONING. MY CONCERN IS THIS. I AM A POLICE OFFICER ALSO. I'VE NOTICED THAT SEVERAL OF OUR FLEET CROWN VICS ARE REGULARLY EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM. SEVERAL OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES IN THE AREA ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING THIS SAME CONCERN. IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THIS HAS BECOME, OR IS RAPIDLY BECOMING, A CONCUMER CONCERN FOR ORERATORS AND OWNERS OF CROWN VICTORIAS AFTER THE MODEL YEAR 1992. MY PERSONAL CROWN VICTORIA IS JUST NOW REACHING THE MILEAGE OF A SECOND YEAR POLICE VEHICLE. I HAD THOUGHT THE POLICE VEHICLE CONCERN MIGHT BE DUE TO THE WAY THE VEHICLES ARE REGULARLY DRIVEN. BUT, NOW THAT MINE IS DOING THE SAME THING, I WONDER IF THIS ISN'T A MATTER OF DETERIOATION DUE TO AGE. IT WOULD APPEAR TO ME THAT A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL MAY BE IN ORDER. ALSO, AS AN EVOC (EMERGENCY VEHICLE OPERATIONS COURSE) INSTRUCTOR, I KNOW THERE ARE LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES WHO ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THIS WARNING FEATURE AND ARE LEAVING THESE VEHICLES IN ACTIVE SERVICE WITH THIS DASH INDICATOR ACTIVATED. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENTS AND RESEARCH INTO THIS MATTER TO DETERMINE IF THIS IS AN ISOLATED CONCERN OR WIDESPREAD. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO KNOW WHETHER THERE WILL BE ANY COST TO REPAIR RELIEF FOR THE REPAIR OF MY PERSONAL VEHICLE IF THIS IS DETERMINED TO BE A MANUFACTURER'S CONCERN.....THANK YOU

I HAVE THIS CAR FOR 11 YRS AND WAS VERY UPSET WHEN THE TRAN WENT OUT ON VACATION AT 83000 MILES. I HAD NO OTHER WAY OUT BUT TO GET A LIFE TIME WARRANTY ON A NEW TRAN FROM AAMCO KNOWING I WOULD HAVE THE CAR FOR MANY MORE YEARS. IM GLAD I DID BECAUSE AFTER A YEAR IT WENT OUT AGAIN AND AAMCO HAD TO FOOT THE BILL BUT IT CAUSED ME TIME. THE WINDOW REGULATOR WENT OUT TWICE IN THE FRONT. ONCE IN 1995 AND 2003. PAIN IN THE BUTT IF YOU LIVE IN SO. CAL. WOULD I BUY THE CRN VIC AGAIN? YES.
