1999 Mercury Grand Marquis: pulls to one side

Filed Oct 12, 2002 · Steering · FL

I have been having problems with 'dead' spot in my steering, causing me to oversteer. I took the car to a goodyear service where they adjusted some part on the gear box. This helped, but continued to oversteer the vehicle. I returned to the shop again and purchased four (4) new tires, aligned the front end all all four wheels. Again the adjusted the gear box due to my complaint. I drove over to sarasota where I was not satisfied with the way the car was steering and I returned to another goodyear store where I was advised the gear box is 'condemned' and has to be replaced. My car now 'wanders' all over the road and I must fight to control the vehicle in a straight line. I have owned many cars over the years and have talked to several mechanics who advised me that this is not common and must be a defective gear box installed on the vehicle. I feel mercury should replace the gear box at their expense, not mine as this is a safety feature that should not occur. Mr

Consumer states when applying brakes in rainy weather, vehicle pulls to one side or the other, dealer states there is a design flaw and can not remedy the problem.

Steering is very hard to control, it goes where bumps and dips take you. Car will jump all over the road. Steering has constant pull to left with lots noise. Also steel to steel slamming noise. Steering colum inside car moves. Dealers look make some adjustments,say found no problem. But problems continue. I returned for repeat preformance. Very rough ride front and rear . Electrical problems surfacing, lights flickering,dash,dome headlights etc., engine cut out as if I turned it off and then came back on each time ihave been sitting still, talk about a dangerous driving situation! Again the dealer checks it out finds no problem says they cant always find a problem until it happens and they have the car when the problem occurs. Alot of good thats going to do driving down the highway at 60mph with 5 kids in the car!!! The air conditioning doesn't cool well at first they said no problem the weather got very hot ,they set an appointment. They found low pressure replaced low prssure clutch switch. I took the car in again for poor front end and steering control now adding to the list aloud slamming together of 2 pieces of steel coming from the left front tire area either going over bumps or dips I can't tell which because it happens randomly. The solution, the dealer checks the right side! So the car goes back again .
