While driving at various times electrical problems occur, headlights will go out along with instrument panel. Sometimes the fan on will come on and will cut off even when it is off. When temp is cold heater blows cold air. Hot outside heats works. Ac works fine in both climates. Drivers side window will not come down in certain temperatures. Heads have low visibility and lens cover gets moisture inside. You have to drive at night with high beams to try and see at all. Suspension is definitely a problem on steering car has a swaying motion at times especially in warm weather popping, squeaky notices can also be heard. Vehicle has 92,000 actual miles but is becoming a hazard to drive. Vehicle has been inspected by a reputable repair service who states suspension looks good, parts have grease in joints, etc and heater problem everything was in specs. Large ford dealership 35 miles away would not schedule an appointment due to car being an older model. If problems are not found, an accident is waiting to happen! Note : electrical problems have been ongoing and have increasingly become worse.

I was operating my vehicle on route 10 in prince george county. There is no light on this road. I was having a difficult seeing. The high beam seemed to not illuminate the road sufficiently. The low beams were good for close up but not far away. I pulled the high beam switch back to high beam (flash high) and held it so I could see better. As I was going through an "s" curve the entire electrical system on the car shut down. I immediately let go of the control and hit the brakes. I lost all power to the car. I can't remember if the motor cut off or not. I almost wrecked the car. After a second or two power came back on. I was in the oncoming lane of traffic with no lights and then they came back on. This is an extremely dangerous function of the vehicle and could easily result in deaths. I wanted you to be aware of this. I have never done this again due to the results of that incident. The date on this incident is an estimate. I have no idea when this happened. Just know it was last year.

The following models have poorly adjusted or designed or too bright headlights causing extreme glare and annoyance to other drivers. Models expedition, grand marquis, crown victoria, contour and mystique. The grand marquis and crown victoria are usually much worse due to the tendancy of these cars to carry adults in the back seats and luggage lowering the rear and raising the front making the headlight misadjustment worse.
