This vehicle was purchased from an estate with 89K miles on it. I have driven it aprox. 4K miles maintenance free. I have traveled in it to NC, WVA and GA and have had no issues with it. This car is loaded to the gills and has been owned by an elderly couple, he died in 2010 and it was placed in her name. The A/C is climate control and will freeze you out. One of the issues I have seen with the car is the fact they never used the windows and the armatures are rust covered and you have to assist them just a bit. Once worked for awhile im sure they will be fine. The window regulator on the drivers window I believe is bad. This is a pretty car with very minimal wear on it, paint is in great shape, trunk deck has some tree sap on it but I have most of that off. The tires are new and a full size spare, with steel wheel. The wheels on the car are aluminum and in good shape. This has been a non smoking car. Carpet good with what looks to be still the original floor mats. s vehicle has a complete digital cluster in it, all in working order. Every now and then the alt light will come on and then goes off in about 3 min. I have had battery and alt checked out and no problems. This vehicle has P/S P/B P/WIN PWR SEATS, DRIVER AND PASSENGER,PWR/MIRRORS REAR WIND DEF PWR DOOR LOCKS LEATHER SEATS FRONT AND BACK 60/40 IN FRONT WITH ARM REST FULL CARPET WITH SOUND BARRIER A/C WITH CLIMATE CONTROL ALL IN WORKING ORDER Cruise control  While driving this vehicle the cluster stated it was getting 31 MPG , when I filled it up it was 30 MPG on the road, never checked in town fuel mileage. This would make a good primary car, or a good car for the kids or wife, most kids refuse to drive a boat this size so I have purchase a older cavalier for my daughter, now she is happy and im hung with a car I don't need. Located in Northern Florida, I would drive this car anywhere in the US. 500.00 deposit required with in 24 hrs. of being awarded the bid. Vehicle is being advertised locally, auction can be ended at sellers  choice.

NHTSA advances investigation of Ford Crown Victoria headlights

Sat, Aug 15 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into reports of suddenly failing headlights on 517,945 examples of the 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis. The government started looking into this problem in April when the North Carolina Consumers Council filed a defect petition with the agency. Now, the inquiry has moved to the next step. According to NHTSA's documentation (as a PDF), it examined its own database and worked with Ford to come up with a total of 3,609 complaints of the front lighting control module suddenly failing. When this happens, drivers lose the low-beam headlights, but the high-beams can be used by holding the stalk. Sometimes turning the switch off and on fixes the issue. Additionally, there are 15 allegations of crashes, and one reported shoulder injury. NHTSA's preliminary evaluations "evaluate the scope, frequency, and consequence of the alleged defect" and don't necessarily lead to a recall. NHTSA looked into this problem once before in 2008 and 2009 and decided that a recall wasn't necessary. Ford also extended the warranty on the front lighting control module for these vehicles. INVESTIGATION Subject : Loss of headlights Date Investigation Opened: AUG 10, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15028 Component(s): EXTERIOR LIGHTING All Products Associated with this Investigation Vehicle Make Model Model Year(s) FORD CROWN VICTORIA 2003-2005 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS 2003-2005 Details Manufacturer: Ford Motor Company SUMMARY: After receiving a defect petition (DP15002) concerning the loss of headlights and other exterior lighting in model year (MY) 2003-2005 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis vehicles, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) analyzed Vehicle Owner Questionnaire (VOQ) complaints received from consumers and identified a total of 605 reports (for all submission dates) alleging headlight failure. The complaints indicate failures of both low beam headlights typically while driving, a defect condition that was evaluated under a prior ODI investigation (PE08066). Most consumer VOQs indicate that the headlights failed suddenly and without warning leaving the driver with no forward lighting, however some report the headlights flickered or dimmed prior to turning off. In some cases drivers were able to turn the headlights back on after a period of time while others reported the headlights would not come back on at all.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.
