I have a 1995 ford crown victoria with 83,000 miles on it. The control arm dropped and hit the road, causing loss of steering. Lucky for us we were going slow turning into a place of business, if we were going fast it could have been bad news. This car started a squeak on the front a little while ago, I guess it had something to do with it. I have noticed alot of 90's and some 2000's model fords have this same squeak. I contacted ford, and they said there was no recall on my model, I told them there should be.

What owners say
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.
Consumer has had this ABS problem for over 3 years. When the brakes are applied they make a horrifying grinding & rubbing sound. Dealer says the only remedy is to replace the brake line.
Anti lock brakes grind in wet weather.
Abs brake failure, overheating, replacement of rotors and pads, and causing a vibration in the front end and makes a grinding noise, a loss of effectiveness.
