1995 Ford Crown Victoria Problems & Complaints

STEERING SHAFT IS BAD, EXCESSIVE RUST TO THE U JOINT IS CAUSING VARY STIFF STEERING AND STEERING WHEEL LOCK UP IN TURNS

STEERING WHEEL IS LOOSE, FEELS LIKE IT COULD COME. AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON, CRUISE CONTROLNOT WORKING CORRECTLY. ALL THESE THINGS ARE SAFETY RELATED AND SHOULD BE FIXED. I THINK STEERING WHEEL SHOULD BE REPAIRED FREE OF CHARGE, SINCE IT'S A MAJOR PROBLEM.

THE BRAKE FLUID IN MY 1995 FORD CROWN VICTORIA HAD TO BE TOPPED OFF LAST WEEK. THE RED BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON INDICATING THE FLUID WAS LOW. AFTER FILLING THE FLUID AND DRIVING THE CAR, THE PEDAL FELT A LITTLE ON THE SOFT SIDE, BUT NO LIGHT. ON MY WAY TO WORK TODAY, I WAS 2 MILES FROM HOME AND WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKES. I HAD NO BRAKES WHATSOEVER. THE PEDAL DID HAVE SOME FEEL TO IT, BUT THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO BRAKES. LUCKILY, I VEERED OFF THE ROAD AVOIDING A COLLISION WITH A CAR, AND HAD TO DOWNSHIFT THE CAR TO GET IT TO SLOW DOWN. AFTER GETTING THE CAR TO 5 OR SO MPH, I SHIFTED INTO REVERSE TO STOP THE CAR, THEN PARK. THE RED BRAKE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON AND I HAD NO WARNING OF THE FAILED BRAKES. AFTER INSPECTION, I FOUND BOTH BRAKE LINES TO BE RUSTED OUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FRAME RAIL. ALL BRAKE LINES ON THE CAR WERE INSPECTED AND ARE EXTREMELY RUSTY. THE CAR IS INOPERABLE AND HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED AS OF YET. *JB

1. I HAD JUST BACKED OUT OF A PARKING SPOT, FINISHED TURNING THE CAR AROUND TO FACE FORWARD AND BEGAN APPROACHING EXIT OUT OF PARKING LOT. I ESTIMATE SPEED AT THE MOMENT OF FAILURE WAS LESS THAN FIVE (5) MPH. IT IS VERY FORTUNATE THAT I WAS NOT GOING FASTER OR I COULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE CROWN VIC, BEEN KILLED, OR KILLED SOMEONE ELSE. AS I BEGAN TO APPROACH THE EXIT, I HEARD A SOUND OF METAL DRAGGING ON THE STREET. I THOUGHT I ACCIDENTALLY RAN OVER A METAL SHOPPING CART OR SOMEONE ON A BICYCLE. THIS IS THE TYPE OF METALLIC, DRAGGING SOUND I HEARD. 2. RIGHT-FRONT WHEEL FELL OFF OF CAR WHILE APPROACHING EXIT. I LOOKED UNDER MY CAR JUST AFTER THE INCIDENT OCCURRED, WITHIN APPROXIMATELY ONE OR TWO MINUTES AS IT WAS THEN DISABLED IN THE LOT. I OBSERVED BALL JOINT HAD POPPED OUT. 3. FORD REPLACED THE FOLLOWING PARTS: ARM ASY FMC XW1Z 3078 BA, KIT-STE FMC F8AZ 3050 AA, JOINT ASY FMCF7AZ 3049 AA, LINK FMC* F6AZ 5K484 AA, SHIELD FMC* F5AZ 2K004 A, KIT-SHO FMC F8AZ 18124 HA, LINK SPO* F6AZ 5K484 AA. I DO NOT PERSONALLY HAVE ANY OF THE OLD PARTS THAT WERE REPLACED, PERHAPS FORD DOES. *NM

BRAKE LINE RUSTED THROUGH CAUSING REAR BRAKES TO FAIL. THE BRAKE LINE PIPING SHOULD EITHER BE MADE OF STAINLESS STEEL, OR COATED WITH A RUST PREVENTATIVE, OR SHIELDED IN SOME WAY SO WATER/SNOW/ROAD SALT CAN NOT GET BETWEEN IT AND THE FRAME OF THE CAR, CAUSING IT TO RUST THROUGH. THIS ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE !!!!!!!! *NM

CONSTANT ABS FAILURE CAUSED BY SENSOR AND STEEL RING RUST IN BRAKE SYSTEM. PROBLEM CAUSES ACTIVATION OF ABS SYSTEM WITHOUT REGARD TO SPEED, CONDITIONS OR ANY BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS. ABS PUMP MAY RUN AT ANY TIME THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED CAUSING INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE ON SMOOTH DRY ROADS.

FIRST OF ALL I AM NOT SURE OF THE MONTH WE BOUGHT THE CAR BUT IT WAS IN 1996. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED.MY DAUGHTER WAS OVER AT THE OREGON COAST AND HAD JUST PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT WHEN THE LEFT FRONT LOWER BALL JOINT CAME APART AND THE FRONT WHEEL COLLAPSED INWARD. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED AND THERE WAS NO BODY DAMAGED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT IF THERE WAS A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE VEHICLE. THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOT. ON YOUR WEB SITE I FOUND TWO (2) RECALLS SUMMARYS: NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS : 98V322000 AND 96V135000. THESE DEAL WITH THE LOWER CONTROL ARM BALL JOINTS AND THE PITMAN ARMS ON THE 1995 FORD CROWN VICTORIA. I ASKED THE DEALERS IN NEWPORT, OR. AND JUNCTION CITY, OR AND THEY CLAIMED NO KNOWLEDGE OF EITHER ONE. IN ADDITION I WAS GIVEN AN NUMBER FOR THE MAIN CUSTOMER SERVICE OFFICE FOR FORD BACK EAST. THEY DIDN'T ACKNOWLEDGE THE RECALLS EITHER. BOTH DEALERS I TALKED TO SUGGESTED REPLACING ALL FOUR OF THE BALL JOINTS (UPPER AND LOWER) WHICH I DID. IT COST $561.63. I HAD A TOWING BILL OF $142.00 AND A CAB BILL OF $57.75. I ASKED THE DEALER TO BE REIMBURSED AT LEAST OF THE REPAIR AND TOWING BILLS. THEY REFUSED. IF MY DAUGHTER HAD BEEN DRIVING ALONG AT 55 MPH AND THE BALL JOINT CAME APART SHE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE CAR AND IT CAME APART, I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND THEY CLAIM THAT THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED GIVEN THE YEAR OF THE CAR AND MILES DRIVEN. I FEEL THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD PAY THE REPAIR BILL AT LEAST. IF THIS HAPPENED TO ME, IT COULD HAPPEN TO OTHER OWNERS OF THE 1995 CROWN VICTORIA'S, AND IT SEEMS TO HAVE ALREADY SINCE YOU HAVE RECALLS SUMMARYS CONCERNING THEM.*AK

I OWN A VEHICLE DRIVEN BY LAW ENFORCEMENT. TO DATE NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE FOR THE SINGLE OWNER. IS THIS SAYING WE ARE NOT GOING TO HAVE A SIMILAR CONDITION OCCUR?? ATTOURNY GENERAL SENT A LETTER TO THE FORD PEOPLE. AS YET NO DECISION HAS BEEN MADE. IS THE PUBLIC TO ASSUME THAT ANOTHER PERSON HAS TO LOSE LIFE IN ORDER FOR THIS PROBLEM TO BE RESOLVED.*AK

FORD MOTOR COMPANY WAS CONTACTED BY TOLL-FREE NUMBER.(NO SOLUTION GIVEN). NO SAFETY DEFECT LISTED. *AK

STEERING HAD BECOME ERRATIC. DEALER REPLACED STEERING LINKAGE/ IDLER ARM, AND PITMAN ARM. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.*AK

WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 35-55MPH, THE VEHICLE WILL SHUDDER AND VIBRATE EXCESSIVELY. *AK CONSUMER HAS HAD THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CHECKED, ALSO THE NO SKIP WAS CHECKED. (NEITHER HAS CORRECTED THE PROBLEM WITH THE SHUDDERING). *SCC

CONSUMER APPLIED BRAKES AT 35 MPH AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, NO BRAKING ACTION. MECHANIC (FRIESMILL AUTO REPAIR) DETERMINED THAT THE REAR BRAKE LINE HAD RUPTURED. REAR BRAKE LINES WERE REPAIRED. *AK *SCC REFERENCED IN RQ03-004

THE FRONT SUSPENSION BALL JOINTS WERE REPLACED AT MY COST. THEY HAD STARTED SQUEAKING AND WERE WORN BADLY. MY MECHANIC SUGGESTS THAT THE ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION BE REBUILT FOR SAFETY BECAUSE FORD DOES NOT HAVE GREASE JOINTS ON ANY THESE PARTS. WHEN THE HORN BUTTON WAS PUSHED FOR LONGER THAN A FEW SECONDS, IT USED TO BLOW THE FUSE. THE LAST TIME IT DID THIS, IT ALSO DISABLED THE CRUISE CONTROL. I WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THE ONLY FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE STEERING COLUMN WHERE THESE WIRES WERE SHORTING TOGETHER INTERNALLY.*AK

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, I NOTICED A NOISE AND STRANGE FEELING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. IT FELT LIKE THE CAR'S ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF. I PULLED OVER, BUT THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING. HOWEVER, THE ALTERNATOR LIGHT WAS ON AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE POWER STEERING. UPON EXAMINATION, THE SERPENTINE BELT HAD COME OFF DUE TO AN APPARENT SEIZURE OF THE TENSIONER PULLEY. IT HAD MELTED AND FALLEN OFF. THE HEAT WAS GREAT ENOUGH TO LEAVE DROPS OF MOLTEN ALUMINUM ON THE SHROUD UNDERNEATH AND THE PULLEY ITSELF WAS MELTED INTO IT AS WELL. MY WHOLE FAMILY WAS IN THE CAR AT THE TIME AND WE BELEIVE THAT UNDER OTHER DRIVING CONDITIONS OR CIRCUMSTANCES THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A DEADLY CRASH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, LEMUEL JUSTICE. *AK

LEFT REAR COIL SPRING BROKEN AT 91,000 MILES. HAROLD ZIEGLER FORD NOW WANTS TO CHARGE $182 TO REPLACE IT. WHEN VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 30,000 MILES AND DURING A ROUTINE MAINTENANCE VISIT TO THIS DEALER, THE DEALER WITHOUT MY PROMPTING REPLACED THE RIGHT REAR COIL SPRING UNDER WARRANTY. IT'S OBVIOUS TO ME THAT FORD KNEW IT HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE SPRINGS SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

HEADLIGHT LENSES CONSTANTLY TURN YELLOW AND CLOUDY, POWER WINDOW REGULATOR CABLES CONSTANTLY SNAP, EXCESSIVE PLAY IN STEERING WHEEL, HORN BUTTONS TOO SMALL AND INCONVIENIENT AND POP OUT AT TIMES, EGR CHAMBER ALWAYS CLOGS EVERY 40K MILES AND CAUSES STALLING CONDITION. *AK

HORN IS NOT LOUD ENOUGH AND THE HORN BUTON IS TO SMALL AND HARD TO FIND WHEN NEEDED. IN 1996 I NOTICED THE BUTTON WAS CHANGED BY FORD,SO THEY KNEW IT WAS A PROBLEM TOO. I THINK IT SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH A 1996 STERING WHEEL OR HORN BUTTOM ASSEMBLY AND THE HORN NEEDS TO BE MUCH LOUDER. *AK

SEVERE FRONT END NOISE IS CAUSED BY THE LOWER ARMS AND THE STEERING IS OFF. RUBBER BOOTY IS TORN AND THE FRONT END MAKES LOUD "POP" WHEN STEERING TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN WITH THE CAR SINCE PURCHASED AND HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER ON 3 OCCASIONS WERE THEY SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM. I HAD A GARAGE LOOK AT IT AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE BALL JOINTS AND OR THR ARMS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP TELLS ME THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM. MY WARRANTY ENDS SOON AND AM WONDERING IF THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS LIKE THIS.*AK
