The right front wheel hub broke at the weld when turning in a parking lot. The part is available for inspection. Had this happened at freeway speed, the right front wheel would have departed the vehicle. The safety hazards are obvious. I attempted to contact customer service and they did not reply.There was no warning sign and the part has not been inspected. I am not a welder. It appears this part had a bad weld from the start. I suspect it was welded by a machine and there may be more just like it from the same production run.

NOTICED INTERMITTENT STIFFNESS IN THE STEERING, AN INSPECTION BY OWNER AT THE STEERING COLUMN DETERMINED THAT THE BEARING CONNECTING THE UPPER AND LOWERS SHAFTS HAD EXTENDED FROM ITS HOUSING. IT WAS DETERMINED THIS FAILURE WAS CONSISTENT WITH A PREVIOUS RECALL 13R01. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GILLESPIE FORD IN GURNEE, IL, WHO STATED THE RECALL HAD BEEN CLOSED OUT IN 2013. THEY WENT ON TO STATE THAT THE ONLY REPAIR MADE IN 2013 WAS REPLACEMENT OF THE LOWER, EXTERIOR STEERING SHAFT, AND NO RETAINING CLIP WAS INSTALLED TO PREVENT SEPARATION OF THE BEARING. GILLESPIE FORD STATED THERE WAS NO CORROSION OR ANY OTHER CAUSE OF THE BEARING FAILURE, SAYING THAT WHEN THE RECALLS WERE DONE THEY WOULD SIMPLY REPLACE THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN AND NOT INSTALL THE RETAINING CLIP. GILLESPIE FORD DECLINED TO MAKE ANY FURTHER REPAIRS UNDER THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH THE CONDITION EXISTED WITH SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS, BUT DID OFFER TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN FOR $1600.00.

I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A HIGHWAY- ROUTE 2 IN MASSACHUSETTS. AFTER TAPPING ON THE BRAKES TO BEGIN THE PROCESS OF SLOWING DOWN, THE CROWN VICTORIA- ON IT'S OWN- BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AT THE SAME TIME. IT WAS SUDDEN AND UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. AT THAT POINT, I SLAMMED AS HARD AS I COULD ONTO THE BRAKE PEDAL- TO THE POINT WHERE THE BRAKES WERE SMOKING. THE ENGINE OVERWHELMED BRAKES AND I COULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE- I COULD ONLY SLOW IT DOWN. I ENDED UP REAR ENDING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME (WHICH HAD COME TO A STOP). EVEN AFTER THE IMPACT, THE CROWN VICTORIA CONTINUED TO PUSH AGAINST THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THEN, JUST AS SUDDENLY AS IT STARTED, THE FULL BORE ACCELERATION STOPPED. I HAD A PERFECT DRIVING HISTORY PRIOR TO THIS MALFUNCTION. NO ACCIDENTS EVER. I HAD AMPLE SPACE AND TIME TO SAFELY STOP MY VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH MATS. I AM NOT SUING FORD. I AM NOT TRYING TO AVOID THE SURCHARGE. I CAN'T OFFER YOU TANGIBLE PROOF THAT THERE WAS A SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION IN MY 2008 FORD CROWN VICTORIA- OTHER THAN MY TRUTHFUL TESTIMONY. I RECENTLY BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND, UNTIL THAT ONE INCIDENT, IT WAS RUNNING NORMALLY. IT WAS RUNNING NORMALLY IN THE DAYS AFTER THE ACCIDENT. I HAD A "WRENCH" LIGHT COME ON ONCE, A COUPLE OF WEEKS EARLIER BUT IT WAS GONE THE NEXT TIME I STARTED UP THE CAR. SO I DISMISSED IT. THE DAMAGE WAS RELATIVELY MINOR AND I HAVE FULL COLLISION. I CONSIDERED THE CAR SO UNSAFE TO DRIVE, HOWEVER, THAT I TOOK IT OFF THE ROAD AND GAVE IT AWAY. I WARNED THE PERSON I GAVE IT TO THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE USED ONLY FOR PARTS. WHAT I AM SAYING IS THE TRUTH AND IT IS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT I TOLD THE MOTORIST I STRUCK AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT.

CAR DROVE NORMALLY AFTER THAT.

2008 FORD CROWN VICTORIA HAS A PROBLEM WITH UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. *NJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED 3 TIMES WITH NO WARNING. THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND PLACED INTO DRIVE AND DRIVEN APPROXIMATELY 150 FEET. THE RPM'S INCREASED WITHOUT THE ACCELERATOR BEING APPLIED. THE CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKE AND THE RPM'S RETURNED TO NORMAL AFTER ABOUT 30 SECONDS. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ENGAGED. IN JUNE 2009, THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY AND AIR INTAKE. HOWEVER, ON AUGUST 13, 2009 THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED SUDDENLY AS IT DID PREVIOUSLY. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY FOUND 2 PIN HOLES IN THE BASIC WIRING HARNESS. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE PIN HOLES WERE A RESULT OF THE WIRING HARNESS BEING INSTALLED UPSIDE DOWN WHICH CAUSED TENSION AND RUBBING ON THE WIRE INSULATION UNTIL THE BARE WIRES WERE EXPOSED WHICH CAUSED A SHORT IN THE WIRING HARNESS. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE WIRES, BUT DID NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS. TO DATE NO FURTHER PROBLEMS HAVE OCCURRED. *JB

I purchased this vehicle a week ago and I also downloaded car fax and it states my vehicle was due for a recall in 2014 but the previous owner next got it.

I HAVE A 2008 FORD CROWN VICTORIA (P71) POLICE INTERCEPTOR. I AM HAVING A KNOCKING NOISE WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT TO RIGHT. THE NOISE IS ACCOMPANIED BY A WANDERING STEERING WHEEL WHEN THE VEHICLE GOES OVER BUMPS. ALSO THE STEERING WHEEL SOMETIMES BECOMES HARD TO TURN THEN RAPIDLY BECOMES LOOSE LIKE SOMETHING IS BINDING UP, THEN FINALLY BREAKING FREE THROUGHOUT THE TURN. THIS HAPPENS WHEN TAKING LOW SPEED WIDE TURNS. AFTER INSPECTING THE STEERING COMPONENTS I NOTICED MY EXCESSIVE PLAY WHERE TJE INTERMITTENT STEERING SHAFT ATTATCHES TO THE RACK N PINION. I THINK MY UPPER SHAFT MAY HAVE BEEN REPLACED BEFORE SINCE IT IS NOT NEARLY AS CORRODED AS THE LOWER INTERMITTENT SHAFT. I CAN ROTATE THE WHOLE SHAFT ABOUT A QUARTER TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION WHILE THE CAR PARKED AND AT THE END OF EACH TURN THE KNOCK RESONATES NEAR THE LOWER INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT KNUCKLE TO WHERE IT CONNECTS INTO TJE PINION GEAR OF THE RACK N PINION. NOW, I INSPECTED ALL STEERING AND SUSPENSION COMPONENTS AND THEY ARE ALL IN GOOD SHAPE....NO PLAY ANYWHERE 8N THE SYSTEM BESIDES THE "RECALLED" STEERING SHAFT! I HAVE TWO KIDS AND IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND THEY GET HURT BECAUSE A "RECALLED" PART DIDNT GET REPLACED BY FORD WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE(FOR FREE) I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THE COMPANY RESPONSIBLE. HONORING A FREE REPLACEMENT FOR AN OBVIOUSLY POORLY ENGINEERED AND DEFECTIVE FACTORY PART SEEMS TO BE TJE RIGJT THING TO DO.....SO WHERE IS MY RECALL AND WHY DOESNT IT SHOW UP WHEN I SEARCH MY CARS VIN NO??? THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN DIES. I DONT MAKE A LOT OF MONEY AND THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED FOR FREE LILE IT WAS ON ALL THE OTHER VEHICLES. IT DRIVES LILE NEW BESIDES THE SCARY KNOCK AND WANDERING STEERING. IT'S JUST RIDICULOUS NOT TO RECALL THIS PART!

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 FORD CROWN VICTORIA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE INSTEAD OF ATTEMPTING TO STOP.
