THE PULSE WINDSHIELD WIPER DOES NOT ENGAGE AT CERTAIN SETTINGS. AT OTHER TIMES, THE PULSE WIPER BECOMES INOPERABLE WHEN ENGAGING THE TURN INDICATOR, CAUSING VISUAL PROBLEMS DURING RAIN/SNOW.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
TRANSMISSION AND BRAKE FAILURE/LOCK-UP ON A VEHICLE THAT HAS BEEN "BABYED" AND METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED IS OUTRAGEOUS. I CANNOT GET FORD MOTOR CO. TO RETURN MY CALLS. I CAN ONLY IMAGINR WHAT KIND OF HORRIFIC ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE OCCURRED IF WE HAD BEEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. DEALER'S SHOP ALSO HAD A 95, 97, & 98 CROWN VICS. W/ TRANSMISSION FAILURE.
