Montague, New Jersey, United States

This truck was purchased by my mother in June 2010 at a local ford dealer. It was a three year turned in local lease with about 32k on it.Our family has put about 70K miles on it in the  4 years we have had it. It runs and drives beautiful. We took very good care or it mechanically and all scheduled services were preformed. The tires have about 5K miles on them and are like new. A four wheel alignment was done at that time. The transmission fluid and filters were changed, the brake fluid was flushed/ changed along with the pads and rotors about 15K ago, the power steering fluid was flushed/changed, throttle body fuel injection all cleaned (by dealer) , newer battery, oil changes were done with only ford motorcraft oil and most recently a complete tune up (all new coil packs and plugs) cost 1,000. My mother was a fanatic about preventive maintenance ....The truck runs awesome. She no longer can drive it in her 70's and we really have no use for it any longer. It has all the cool options : heated power front seats , power folding third row seats, power adjustable gas & brake pedal, Navigation , satellite radio, power moonroof, parking sensors, towing package, roof rack, V8 , All Wheel Drive, rear air conditioning, 18 inch wheels, and black leather interior. There is a small chip in the windshield. A small dig in front rim. There are lots of chips and scratches and specs all over the car. It is still shiny but desperately needs a compounding & wax .The interior needs a shampoo & leather cleaner. We could have done a better job keeping it clean. This is the main reason I will set a low reserve. In addition, there is a good sized scrape on the front drivers bumper and passenger rear door. There are no check engine lights on and all systems function as they should.  This is a fun safe truck to drive as it handles very responsively. THIS A NO RESERVE AUCTION

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!

NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"
