Up for sale is my 52 Mercury coupe 2 door hardtop. I unfortunately do not have the time or funds to do this special auto justice. This car gets looks everywhere I take it. It has the makings of an awesome rat rod, hot rod or make it your own custom street rod. It has been restored previously in its life and looks remarkable for its age. The mileage that I have listed is what is showing on the odometer currently but I have no way of knowing what the actual mileage is. I do have a key for it but it only works the ignition. Its driver and passenger windows are spider cracked from age but still holding together. Window regulators in both doors and rear glass are functioning. The hard to find most expensive front and rear glass is not damaged. It drive train is a 302 auto with a 9" rear end. it does run and drive and I have driven it on the road although I would not trust it far. The exhaust is open just past the manifolds. So it is loud. The original brakes do function and stop the Merc. The original front end is nice and tight. That being said, I would suggest a trailer for the ride home. The electrical system has been updated to 12 volts and the front headlights have been replaced. the rear tail lights will need to rewired. The body and floor do have some rust as to be expected from a 50+ year old car. When the previous restoration was done patch panels were made for the floor pans so the floor does not give. The original gas tank has been removed but is included with the car. It runs off a fuel cell mounted in the trunk. The original hubcaps are also included. The wheels have been replaced and the tires are older but probably don't have 1000 miles on them and would last for some time as they are not dry rotted. The interior is nice but does show it age in places. This is an excellent start to get u going on a restoration or repair just minor items and drive it. Please ask any question before u bid or make an appointment to come out and look. I am available most days before 1pm. Call, text or send a message thru ebay and I can help u. 870-917-4381. I have a clean Arkansas title for this car so it is ready to go. I can assist with loading if needed. ask any questions before u bid as ur bid is a contract. I do have a reserve but it is not outrageous and it is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early as needed. I am asking for a $500 deposit within 24 hrs of the auctions close. The balance is due within 7 days payable by cashiers check or cash but it will be paid for in full and verified before the car and title leaves my possession. I can hold the car until we can make arrangements for it to be paid for and picked up. Max 14 days please. I am willing to sell worldwide but funds to be paid in USD and u are responsible for all shipping arrangements and fees . Thanks, happy biding, good luck!!!

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.

Ford recalls 382k vehicles across six campaigns

Wed, Sep 30 2015

Ford needs to repair a total of 381,633 vehicles in North America across six newly announced campaigns, including five safety recalls and one compliance recall. By far the largest of these campaigns covers the 342,271 examples of the 1998-2003 Windstar to double check an earlier recall repair. Among these, 283,413 are in the US and 58,858 are in Canada. The combination of corrosion and stress can cause cracks in the rear axle and eventually lead to the part to snap completely. The company reports a small number of accidents might be connected to this, but there are no injuries. The minivans were recalled for this issue back in 2010, and it was investigated by NHTSA. According to Ford's latest announcement, the reinforcement brackets on some of these models might not have been installed correctly. This time, dealers will perform an inspection. Minivans with incorrectly installed brackets will get a new rear axle. The rest of the owners will be offered a deal to replace the part at a reduced cost. The next largest campaign covers 36,857 examples of the 2015 F-150 to fix a problem with the adaptive cruise control. Specifically, there are 33,481 affected trucks in the US, and 3,376 in Canada. According to Ford, "when passing a large, highly reflective truck" the radar in the system can misidentify a semi as being in the same lane as the pickup. The collision warning system would then activate, slowing the F-150. There's one report of an accident with this happening but no injuries. The fix is simply an update to the adaptive cruise control module software. Ford also has a recall for 1,477 examples of its 2016 F-53 and F-59 stripped chassis models, and they're all located in the US. A manufacturing issue might allow the trucks to shift into reverse without the driver first applying the brakes. There are no reports of any accidents from this, though. To repair the problem, the models get a new transmission shift control bracket and an adjustment to the shift cable. The Blue Oval's safety compliance recall covers 708 examples of the 2016 Fusion and Lincoln MKZ, including 658 of them in the US, 28 in Canada, and 22 in Mexico. On these models, a manufacturing problem with the fuel tank could allow it to crack in a crash, which isn't allowed under federal rules. There are no reports of accidents, injuries or fires. The fix will be a new fuel tank for all of them. The company is also repairing 251 units of the 2015 Taurus and Lincoln MKS, plus the 2016 Explorer.

Ford recalls 1.9m cars and crossovers for defective airbags

Wed, Jun 1 2016

The Basics: Ford is recalling a total of 1,898,728 vehicles to replace defective Takata front passenger-side airbags. This includes the 2007-2010 Ford Edge, 2006-2011 Ford Fusion, 2005-2011 Ford Mustang, 2007-2011 Ford Ranger, 2007-2010 Lincoln MKX and 2006-2011 Lincoln MKZ, Zephyr and Mercury Milan vehicles built in North America. The Problem: The defective airbags have been linked to ruptures that can send metal fragments at the passenger, due to deteriorating propellant. Injuries/Deaths: Ford claims it's not aware of any injuries due to the problem, but rupturing Takata airbags have been linked to a series of serious injuries and deaths. The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger-side frontal airbag at no charge to the customer. If you own one: Look out for a letter from the manufacturer to arrange service at your local dealer. If you'd like to check if your vehicle is affected, click on the safety recalls link on Ford.com and enter your VIN. Related Video:
