What 1993 Ford Crown Victoria owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
1993 ford crown victoria, I've owned this car for 8 years,the ABS pump and hcu failed, parts which are suppose to be durable and are very expensive, I have 114811 miles on this car and it is in immaculate condition inside and out, I would like to know is this car safe to drive until repairs are made,this condition was diagnosed and found by a ford dealer.
While driving at approximately 40 MPH, the driver applied the brakes and the pedal went to the floor, and heard a popping sound. The brake line ruptured and fluid had leaked everywhere. The owner took the vehicle to an independent mechanic, and was informed that they see quite a bit of these ford vehicles with the same defect. *ak *sc
No summary listed for abover vehicle.
The anti-lock brake cylinder on the driver's side and rear passenger side have both gone out, the brakes attempt to lock at times when the vehicle is being driven.
Braking system malfunctioned, causing extended stopping distance which may result in a crash. Dealer replaced brake calipers and front disc rotors 3 times. Also, wiring harness in the steering column burned out(ignition), causing a fire. In addition, bolt that holds driver's seat to the floor came out which could cause the driver's seat to move unexpectedly. Please provide further information.
Abs braking system malfunctioned, causing steering to lock up and no braking ability, which may have caused a crash. Please provide further information.
While driving on the highway oil light came on. Vehicle made unusuall noises, and didn't want to move. Had the vehicle towed to the dealer. Oil pump failed to distribute oil in the engine. Also, dealer cleaned and repaired oil filter, and replaced front brake rotors and pads.
Transmission and brake failure/lock-up on a vehicle that has been "babyed" and meticulously maintained is outrageous. I cannot get ford motor co. To return my calls. I can only imaginr what kind of horrific accident would have occurred if we had been driving at highway speeds. Dealer's shop also had a 95, 97, & 98 crown vics. W/ transmission failure. I suspect ford is trying to cover up a defect.
Vehicle does not start up right away. Took vehicle to dealer. Was informed that the ignition switch wires had to be replaced due to being burned in & around the column. The heater wires had burned also. The seat anchor bolts had came out of the front seat. Plugs, wires, and brakes had to be replaced. *ak
