"grand marquis ls recall " steering is becoming increasingly unstable.
The seat belts do not restrain. Also, the steering rod was broken and fixed at the last inspection which was 5/2018. We were told that the seat belts would cost $1500 or more to repair. I saw on this website that there was a recall on seat belts not restraining.
"takata recall" when putting gas in my car the fuel leaks out before the gas gets into the tank by fuel filter. And the steering column makes a popping and winding sound when steering wheel is in use driving the car.
A bolt in the shifting linkage loosens over time on many ford models. Our bolt apparently loosened & causes shifter to be in a great other than what is indicated on the dash. Our vehicle indicated it was in the ' park' position, but was not. The vehicle later rolled down the hill & caused nearly $1200 of damage to the passenger side. Ford knows of this problem.

On 08/18/2008 my mother took her vehicle to sunnyvale lincoln mercury dealership [408] 732-7000[she purchased the vehicle there] because she was having problems getting the transmission to go in gear using the gear shift handle on the steering colomn. The dealership [invoice 24804, gabriel medina] said the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle drove o.k. It was just hard to go from park to drive. My mother is 86 years old and lives by her self. I feel strongly that she was taken for a ride and cheated out of $2,611.93. She was never told as to why the transmission needed to be replaced, she drives a 2000 mercury grand marquis with 17,352 miles on it. All oil changes and service work was done at the dealership from day one. Now the transmission is missing. Her warranty coverage for the transmission is her receipt from the dealership. There was never a problem with the shifting of the transmission once she got the gear shift handle to go to drive. So, if there is a problem with the linkage from the steering column to the transmission, why did the transmission have to be replaced?
An electrical system malfunctioned caused the headlights flicker while driving. The air conditioner malfunctioned. The vehicle experienced noise in the gear box. The technician packed grease on the rims and under the wheel covers. The battery failed and as a result the vehicle would not start. *ak *cb
While driving the steering wheel became difficult to turn. It was later determined the steering belt came off the vehicle. *nlm ph
