What 1992 Ford Crown Victoria owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Consumer states that while driving down a winding road the vehicle headlights suddenly died. Please provide any further information.
Headlight assembly have gone yellow and the light is reduced about 90%.
When traveling on the highway with the high beams on, the switch fails and shuts off all head lights. This is a serious safety hazard when traveling winding country roads in pitch darkness. This is also a serious condition when traveling low speeds on a narrow gravel road when turning off the highway. This has occurred on several instances when traveling normal highway speeds and at low speed when turning into a county road from a paved highway causing loss of all visibility of the road. If I were not a defensive driver it would have caused me to run off the road because I could not even see the road.
Lens cover on headlights turns milk. This causes lights to be dimmed, and hard to see while driving at night. Problem was an increase in dimness.*ak because the outer head light lenses were made of plastic, the ultraviolet light destroyed.
Throttle sticking/back firing/excessive oil loss and front end vibration. *ak the vehicle makes ticking noise when accelerating. The antenna was bent. The wipers gets stuck in the middle of the windshield. The tape player failed. Left turn signal was inoperative. The consumer was trying to take the problem to court.
