SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
FIRST OF ALL I AM NOT SURE OF THE MONTH WE BOUGHT THE CAR BUT IT WAS IN 1996. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED.MY DAUGHTER WAS OVER AT THE OREGON COAST AND HAD JUST PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT WHEN THE LEFT FRONT LOWER BALL JOINT CAME APART AND THE FRONT WHEEL COLLAPSED INWARD. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS INJURED AND THERE WAS NO BODY DAMAGED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT IF THERE WAS A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE VEHICLE. THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOT. ON YOUR WEB SITE I FOUND TWO (2) RECALLS SUMMARYS: NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBERS : 98V322000 AND 96V135000. THESE DEAL WITH THE LOWER CONTROL ARM BALL JOINTS AND THE PITMAN ARMS ON THE 1995 FORD CROWN VICTORIA. I ASKED THE DEALERS IN NEWPORT, OR. AND JUNCTION CITY, OR AND THEY CLAIMED NO KNOWLEDGE OF EITHER ONE. IN ADDITION I WAS GIVEN AN NUMBER FOR THE MAIN CUSTOMER SERVICE OFFICE FOR FORD BACK EAST. THEY DIDN'T ACKNOWLEDGE THE RECALLS EITHER. BOTH DEALERS I TALKED TO SUGGESTED REPLACING ALL FOUR OF THE BALL JOINTS (UPPER AND LOWER) WHICH I DID. IT COST $561.63. I HAD A TOWING BILL OF $142.00 AND A CAB BILL OF $57.75. I ASKED THE DEALER TO BE REIMBURSED AT LEAST OF THE REPAIR AND TOWING BILLS. THEY REFUSED. IF MY DAUGHTER HAD BEEN DRIVING ALONG AT 55 MPH AND THE BALL JOINT CAME APART SHE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE CAR AND IT CAME APART, I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL MECHANICS AND THEY CLAIM THAT THIS SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED GIVEN THE YEAR OF THE CAR AND MILES DRIVEN. I FEEL THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD PAY THE REPAIR BILL AT LEAST. IF THIS HAPPENED TO ME, IT COULD HAPPEN TO OTHER OWNERS OF THE 1995 CROWN VICTORIA'S, AND IT SEEMS TO HAVE ALREADY SINCE YOU HAVE RECALLS SUMMARYS CONCERNING THEM.*AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
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.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE:BELTS AND ASSOCIATED PULLEYS
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, I NOTICED A NOISE AND STRANGE FEELING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. IT FELT LIKE THE CAR'S ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF. I PULLED OVER, BUT THE CAR WAS STILL RUNNING. HOWEVER, THE ALTERNATOR LIGHT WAS ON AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE POWER STEERING. UPON EXAMINATION, THE SERPENTINE BELT HAD COME OFF DUE TO AN APPARENT SEIZURE OF THE TENSIONER PULLEY. IT HAD MELTED AND FALLEN OFF. THE HEAT WAS GREAT ENOUGH TO LEAVE DROPS OF MOLTEN ALUMINUM ON THE SHROUD UNDERNEATH AND THE PULLEY ITSELF WAS MELTED INTO IT AS WELL. MY WHOLE FAMILY WAS IN THE CAR AT THE TIME AND WE BELEIVE THAT UNDER OTHER DRIVING CONDITIONS OR CIRCUMSTANCES THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A DEADLY CRASH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, LEMUEL JUSTICE. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN
HORN IS NOT LOUD ENOUGH AND THE HORN BUTON IS TO SMALL AND HARD TO FIND WHEN NEEDED. IN 1996 I NOTICED THE BUTTON WAS CHANGED BY FORD,SO THEY KNEW IT WAS A PROBLEM TOO. I THINK IT SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH A 1996 STERING WHEEL OR HORN BUTTOM ASSEMBLY AND THE HORN NEEDS TO BE MUCH LOUDER. *AK
