WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK, WITH NO KEYS IN THE IGNITION, A SMALL CHILD GRABBED THE GEAR SHIFTER. WITH ONLY SLIGHT PRESSURE, THE VEHICLE SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND ROLLED BACKWARDS DOWN A HILL, WEDGING A 16 YEAR OLD FEMALE IN THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR, THEN PINNING THE FEMALE BETWEEN TWO VEHICLES. THE FEMALE WAS PRONOUNCED DEAD AT A LOCAL HOSPITAL SEVERAL HOURS LATER, AS A RESULT OF THE INJURIES RECEIVED FROM THE VEHICLE.*JB

IN OCTOBER 1995 TORQUE CONVERTER HAD TO BE REPLACED. FORD PAID 50 %, THERE WAS A TSB 931211 ON IT. CURRENTLY, SAME THING HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. FORD REFUSED TO ASSIST IN REPAIR EXPENSES. *AK

ON 12/4/96 MY VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING.IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THAT TIME.IT WAS TAKEN INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP,WHERE WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY HAD BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS TORQUE CONVERTERS ON THESE VEHICLES.A TORK FLUSH WAS PERFORMED AND THEY TOLD US EVERYTHING WOULD BE OK.THE VEHICLE HAS 30,000 AT THAT TIME.ON 6/2/99 WE STARTED EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM.IT AGAIN WAS TAKEN INTO THE FORD DEALERSHIP,WHERE AGAIN THEY STATED THE TORK CONVERTER WAS BAD AND THEY TOLD US AGAIN THAT A TORK FLUSH WOULD BE NEEDED.THE VEHICLE AT THIS TIME HAD 70,000.I ADDRESSED THE PROBLEM AT THAT TIME AND ASKED WHY THE TRANSMISSION COULD NOT BE REPAIRED VS. JUST A TORK FLUSH.I WAS TOLD " FORD MOTOR WILL ONLY FLUSH". ON 12/18/00 MY VEHICLE AGAIN STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS. IT WOULD NOW NOT GO INTO "DRIVE". THE CAR HAS 90,000 ON IT NOW. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SHOP AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION IS OUT. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE EXPRESSED MY CONCERN REGARDING FLUSHING VS ACTUALLY CHECKING INTO THE TRANSMISSIONS AND STILL WAS TOLD THAT FORD WILL NOT DO THAT, THEY WILL ONLY DO THE FLUSH. NOW I'M STUCK WITH A CAR WITH ONLY 90,000 ON IT AND A TRANSMISSION THAT HAS TO BE COMPLETELY REBUILT. WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO "FORD STANDS BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT" OR "YOUR SATISFACTION IS OUR #1 GOAL." I HAVE CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND TO DATE I HAVE NOT ONCE GOTTEN A CALL BACK. I HAVE DECIDED THAT THE ONLY WAY TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM IS TO VOICE MY CONCERN MY GOING PUBLIC ON TV. WE HAVE A TV STATION HERE CALLED "CALL FOR ACTION" MAYBE THAT IS MY NEXT STEP. CALLING AND EXPRESSING MYSELF TO FORD DOES NOT SEEM TO HELP. IF FORD REALLY STOOD BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES, I WOULD NOT BE SITTING WITH A CAR WITH ONLY 90,000 MILES ON IT WITH A BLOWN TRANSMISSION. IF THE PROBLEM WOULD HAVE BE CORRECTED IN 1996 WHEN I ORIGINALLY REPORTED THE PROBLEM, THEN MAYBE I WOULD STILL BE DRIVING THE CAR.I LOVE MY CAR, ITS FORD MOTOR COMPANY I AM NOT HAPPY WITH.

SEATS
12 complaints
I BOUGHT A USED 1993 FORD CROWN VIC APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS AGO, WHILE I EXPECTED I WOULD HAVE TO PUT MONEY INTO REPAIRS THE ONE THING I DIDN'T EXPECT WOULD BE HAVING TO REPAIR A SEAT MOUNTING BRACKET DUE TO POOR WORKMANSHIP & OR MATERIALS. AFTER LOOKING ON THE INTERNET AT VARIOUS SITES I FOUND THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO, MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SEAT FRAME SHEARING AWAY FROM THE BOLTS IN CROWN VICS.I TRIED CONTACTING BOTH THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP & THE CORPORATE CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPT WITH NO SATISFACTORY RESOLUTION TO THIS MATTER. THIS APPEARS TO BE A SERIOUS DEFECT FLAW IN CROWN VICS THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS IT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY IN AN ACCIDENT. I BELIEVE MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS ALSO NEED TO BE LOOKED AT ON THIS ISSUE AS I'VE SEEN SOME POSTS ON THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THAT MAKE & MODEL. *TR
Aug 09, 2013
DRIVERS SEAT LEANS BACK, POSSIBLE BROKEN FLOOR BOLT LIKE MENTIONED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : PE98041 ON A 1993 FORD CROWN VIC, ALSO KNEW OF THE SAME PROBLEM WITH A 1992 CROWN VIC WHICH I NO LONGER OWN. DID THEY CHANGE THE SEAT BETWEEN 1993 AND 1198 MODELS? IF THEY DID NOT THEN THE RECALL SHOULD CERTAINLY INCLUDE OLDER MODEL CROWN VICS. *TR
May 04, 2008
I HAVE HAD TWO FORD CROWN VICS, A 1992 AND NOW A 1993. IN BOTH VEHICLES THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT FRAME, ON THE FRONT LEFT CORNER, SHEARED. THIS LEFT THE BOLT STILL ANCHORED TO THE SLIDER FOR THE SEAT ADJUSTER. THE SEATS ROCK BACK AND FORTH. NOT ONLY IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT IT MAKE THE SEAT EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE. I DON'T HAVE EXACT DATES AS TO WHEN THIS HAPPENED. THE DATE ON THE FORM IS WRONG AND ONLY SHOWS BECAUSE IT WAS A REQUIRED FIELD. *JB

ON JUNE 6, 2004 WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT END DROPPED DOWN AND SCRAPED THE PAVEMENT, THE STEERING WHEEL JUMPED AROUND AND THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEW. LOOKING UNDER THE CAR REVEALED THAT THE LOWER CONTROL ARM BALL JOINT HAD SEPARATED AND PULLED FREE FROM THE CONTROL ARM. THE LOWER CONTROL ARM HAD BEEN FORCED INTO THE SIDEWALL OF THE TIRE AND GOUGED A HUGE HOLE IN IT. HAD THIS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC WITH LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE EXPOSED BALL JOINT END WAS DRY (NO LUBRICANT) AND I COULD SEE GALLING ON THE UPPER TOP HALF OF THE "BALL". THESE ARE SEALED BALL JOINTS THAT HAVE NO GREASE FITTING AND THUS NO PROVISION FOR LUBRICATION. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED. IT IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AT THIS TIME AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION BY ANYONE. I LOOKED UP RECALLS ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND NHTSA RECALL HISTORY LISTING "1992-99: BEARING WITHIN LOWER BALL JOINT CAN WEAKEN SLOWLY DURING USE AND EVENTUALLY CRACK; COULD RESULT IN SEPARATION, ALLOWING CONTROL ARM TO DROP TO THE GROUND" AND ELSEWHERE RECALL NO. 1998251 REFERS TO CROWN VICTORIA " BEARING LOADS CAN LEAD TO THINNING AND EVENTUAL CRACKING OF THE LOWER CONTROL ARM BALL JOINT" . I ALSO FOUND NHTSA RECORDS OF BALL JOINT FAILURES UNDER THE ODI ID NUMBERS OF: 835503, 713546, 505865, 700771, 714657, 710815. I ALSO FOUND AT ALLDATA.COM UNDER AUTOMOTIVE RECALLS A TSB NO. 98S37 OF DEC. '98 "RECALL - FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARM BALL JOINT REPLACEMENT". I CALLED FORD ON JUNE 8, 2004 AND TALKED TO A REP NAMED NORMAN (I.D. NO. 2357) AND CASE REFERENCE NO. [XXX] AND HE TOLD ME THAT MY CAR [XXX] HAD NO RECALL NOTICES AND THEREFORE IT'S NOT A PROBLEM. I TOLD HIM THAT THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE SITUATION COULD CAUSE A FATAL VEHICLE ACCIDENT AND ASKED TO TALK TO HIS SUPERVISOR. HE TOLD ME THAT THERE WASN'T A SUPERIOR I COULD TAKE THE MATTER UP WITH. *AK UPDATED 07/25/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

MY HUSBAND WAS BLINDED BY THE DRIVER AIRBAG ON A 1993 FORD CROWN VICTORIA IN SEPTEMBER 2002. IT WAS A LOW IMPACT SINGLE CAR ACCIDENT AT 8 MPH. THE AIRBAG DID NOT GO OFF IN A TIMELY MANNER AND BLINDED MY HUSBAND INSTANTLY. MY HUSBAND SUFFERED A TEAR IN THE LEFT MUSCLE AND PERMANENTLY LOST THE VISION IN THAT EYE, TORN IRIS ON BOTH EYES, BLOOD CLOTS IN BOTH EYES; CORNEA DAMAGE TO BOTH EYES... THE LIST IS LONG. HE HAS HAD 8 EYE SURGERIES AND WE ARE STILL UNSURE OF HE WILL LOSE THE REST OF WHAT VISION HE HAS IN THE RIGHT EYE. FORD HAS HAD MANY CASES SINCE THEN, BUT WILL STILL NOT RECALL THESE CARS FOR 1992-1996, WHICH INCLUDE THE GRAND MARQUIS. FORD LOST A CASE IN 2000 (HOFFMAN V. FORD) AND ACCORDING TO AUTOMOTIVE NEWS: FORD WAS AWARE OF AIRBAG COMPLAINTS THAT HAD BEEN MADE BY CONSUMERS, BUT FORD SAYS THEY DID NOTHING BECAUSE NO ONE EVER FILED A LAWSUIT. SINCE THEY LOST THE HOFFMAN CASE, FORD STILL HAS NOT RECALLED THE CARS FOR THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS. DURING A $1 BILLION COST SAVING BY FORD, THEY CHANGED THE AIRBAG SENSORS FROM 5 TO 3 SENSORS. THIS SAVED FORD $18-25 PER CAR. THIS COST SAVING IS COSTING PEOPLE THEIR LIVES OR THEY ARE BEING BLINDED WHEN THE AIRBAG DOESN'T GO OFF WHEN IT SHOULD. THE 1993 FORD CROWN VIC'S AIRBAG IS RELEASED INTO YOUR FACE AT . WHEN ARE THE CONSUMERS AND JURIES GOING TO BE TOLD THE TRUTH ABOUT THESE AIRBAGS AND THEIR DANGERS. AIRBAGS MAY SAVE LIVES BUT THEY ALSO BURDEN A FAMILY WITH FINANCIAL RUIN, A LIFETIME OF MEDICAL BILLS AND EMOTIONAL DISTRESS AND FORD TAKES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE RESULTS TO US CONSUMERS. WE LOST OUT CASE AGAINST FORD.*AK

ENGINE CHECK LIGHT COMES ON AT VARIOUS MPH EACH TIME CAR IS DRIVEN. MECHANICS DO NOT KNOW THE CAUSE. WE HAVE SPENT OVER $500 TRYING TO GET IT FIXED. REGARDING THE LIGHTS, MOISTURE FORMS BEHIND THE LIGHT COVERS DURING COOL OR DAMP WEATHER. IN MY ESTIMATION, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZZARD WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT DUE TO DECREASED VISIBILITY.
