Car has extremely low mileage for the year. I've had the car for a couple years to get me back and forth to school and I have a new car now, so this one is taking up space in the drive way. The car has been sitting since last fall.

The Good:
Ice Cold A/C
Newer water pump
Newer thermostat
New dual exhaust system
New Radiator
Low Mileage

The Bad:
Battery dead (needs to be charged from sitting)
Currently it does not have any heat.

Blown head gasket???

When I bought it in 2012 the guy told me the motor was blown up (blown head gasket). I got a good deal on it and had intensions of replacing the motor. The problem was the motor was overheating. I looked further into it and discovered the thermostat was bad and the water pump was bad. I changed those two things and I've been driving it on a daily basis until last fall.

The reason the heat does not work in it is because the previous owner put a bunch of stop leak in the system and the heater core is plugged. I've changed the heater core once and flushed it out multiple times and it's plugged up again.
The brakes need some attention in the front. Tires have about 25% left on them. This car will get you to point A to point B. There is very little rust on the car for it's age. Body is in great shape. There are some scratches and some dings throughout the body. Check engine light on. Car runs smooth. Rocker panels are a little rusty (looks like someone did previous work to them). More Pictures with requests!

The car may or may not have a blown head gasket... I've been driving the car how it is for the past two years now without any problems besides the heat. Then again, it does have stop leak in the system which could be sealing the gasket? Runs and drives great! Very reliable. Clean and clear title in hand.

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.

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.

Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern

Fri, 09 Dec 2011

Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
