PAINT PEELED OFF ROOF AND BOTH "C" PILLARS. FORD HAS A TSB (09N02) BUT WILL NOT HELP CROWN VICTORIA POLICE INTERCEPTOR OWNERS WHO ARE NOT GOVERNMENT AGENCIES OR CVPI'S THAT ARE NOT IN LAW ENFORCEMENT/GOVERNMENT SERVICE. WAS FORCED TO PAY OUT-OF POCKET FOR REPAINT OF EFFECTED AREAS. NOW I NOTICED THAT PAINT IS PEELING OFF HOOD. I TRIED THE DEALER, WHO CALLED FORD CORPORATE AND THEY TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THEY COULD NOT HELP ME BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS NOT IN SERVICE AND PRIVATELY OWNED. *TR

STEERING:HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST SYSTEM
POLICE TRACK TRAINING PERSONNEL ARE REPORTING MOMENTARY POWER STEERING LOSS/LOCKUP WHEN EXECUTING HARD U-TURNS WITH 06/07 PRODUCTION FORD CROWN VIC POLICE INTERCEPTIONS. IN ADDITION, WE ARE RECEIVING COMPLAINTS FROM THE FIELD REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE. CONCERN IS THAT THIS STEERING DEFECT COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT DURING NORMAL PATROL RESPONSES. THIS DEFECT IMPACTS AT LEAST ONE THIRD OF OUR ACTIVE PATROL FLEET (OVER 175 CARS, PERHAPS AS MANY AS 250). WE ARE MONITORING WHAT POLICE FLEETS IN ARIZONA ARE CURRENTLY DOING PER THE TSB ISSUED BY FORD AS WELL AS SCHEDULING A MEETING WITH LOCAL FORD TECHNICIAN., WHO, AT OUR TRACK DEMONSTRATED THE PROBLEM FOR ME ON MAY 17, 2007. *AK

AIR BAGS, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
THE FIRST PROBLEM I WAS TOLD WAS A "MODULE SENSOR" POSSIBLE O2 SENSOR. THIS WAS WITHIN TWO WEEKS OF BUYING THIS BRAND NEW 06' FORD CROWN VIC. THE SECOND PROBLEM WAS A MINOR WINDOW MALFUNCTION. THE LATEST PROBLEM WE HAVE IS TODAY MY WIFE AND GRANDSON WERE IN A ACCIDENT. SOMEONE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF US, WE WERE TRAVELING ABOUT 25-30 MPH. WE HIT THE OTHER CAR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HEAD ON. OUR AIRBAGS DID NOT INFLATE. I AM VERY VERY CONCERNED THIS MAY BE ANOTHER "PROBLEM" WITH THIS 6 MONTH OLD FORD, WITH LESS THAT 4,000 MILES ON IT. THE WEBSITES FOR BOTH THE DEALER AND FORD COMPANY ARE ABSOLUTELY NO HELP IN TRYING TO FIND ANSWERS TO MY SITUATION. PLEASE CONTACT ME ON HOW TO GET THIS MATTER RESOLVED. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
2006 FORD CROWN VICTORIA PURCHASED IN JUNE 2006. PROBLEM OCCURRED ABOUT 1 MOINTH AFTER PURCHASE (LATE JUNE). I WAS DRIVING OUT OF MY APT COMPLEX, WHEN I STOPPED AT THE GATE, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY WENT CRAZY. IT WAS AS IF IT HAD MAX THROTTLE EXCEPT MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE NOT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. IF I HAD NOT HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, I WOULD HAVE CRASHED INTO THE GATE. I PUT THE CONTROL INTO NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO RACE FOR ABOUT 6-7 SECONDS, THEN IT STOPPED AND IT WAS LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS. NOTHING WRONG. SO I SAID IT WAS A FLUKE. BUT NOW 2 DAYS AGO (12-27-06), IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY RAN DIAGNOSITICS - AGAIN NOTHING WRONG.
