Seats: front assembly: power adjustReported November 23, 1993 · 16,000 vehicles affected

What is wrong: An unused power seat harness connector is positioned on the rubber floor mat under the seat. If the vehicle is operated in cold weather in areas that have large amounts of salt used for snow and ice control, a puddle of saltwater can accumulate on the rubber floor mats, repeatedly wetting the connector. This will result in corrosion of the connector, causing a current to flow between the terminals without tripping the circuit breaker.
Risk: If this occurs, current flow can heat the connector andrelease fumes into the passenger compartment, and can result in a vehicle fire.
Remedy: Dealers will remove the unused connector and install a sealed heat shrink cap over the affected wires.

I bought a used 1993 ford crown vic approximately 4 years ago, while I expected I would have to put money into repairs the one thing I didn't expect would be having to repair a seat mounting bracket due to poor workmanship & or materials. After looking on the internet at various sites I found that I'm not the only one this has happened to, many people have had the same problem with the seat frame shearing away from the bolts in crown vics.I tried contacting both the local ford dealership & the corporate consumer affairs dept with no satisfactory resolution to this matter. This appears to be a serious defect flaw in crown vics that needs to be addressed as it can cause serious injury in an accident. I believe mercury grand marquis also need to be looked at on this issue as I've seen some posts on the same problem with that make & model.

Drivers seat leans back, possible broken floor bolt like mentioned in the federal safety agency action number : pe98041 on a 1993 ford crown vic, also knew of the same problem with a 1992 crown vic which I no longer own. Did they change the seat between 1993 and 1198 models? If they did not then the recall should certainly include older model crown vics.

I have had two ford crown vics, a 1992 and now a 1993. In both vehicles the driver's side seat frame, on the front left corner, sheared. This left the bolt still anchored to the slider for the seat adjuster. The seats rock back and forth. Not only is this a safety issue, but it make the seat extremely uncomfortable. I don't have exact dates as to when this happened. The date on the form is wrong and only shows because it was a required field.

The bolts holding driver's seat to the frame sheared off, causing seat to be unstable. Dealer has inspected vehicle.

Braking system malfunctioned, causing extended stopping distance which may result in a crash. Dealer replaced brake calipers and front disc rotors 3 times.
