STEERING:LINKAGES
LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL, ESPECIALLY WHEN CHANGING LANES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OR MAKING TIGHT TURNS. CAN ALSO OCCUR WHEN HOLDING STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHT. VEHICLE WILL HAVE A NOTICEABLE "DRIFT" OR "SHIFT" TO EITHER SIDE, AND SEEMS QUITE DANGEROUS. DEALER FOUND THAT A RECALL HAD BEEN DONE (96S45), BUT THAT THIS VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE SYMPTOMS ARE EXACTLY AS DESCRIBED IN RECALL 96S45. VISUALL INSPECTION BY MECHANIC VERIFIED THAT THIS WAS THE PROBLEM, AND THAT THE VEHICLE IS PROBABLY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:EMISSION CONTROL:GAS RECIRCULATION VALVE (EGR VALVE), UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY ENGINE CHECK LIGHT KEEPS GOING ON. WE HAVE CHANGED THE PFE SENSOR, INSTALLED NEW EGR SENSOR, AND INSTALLED A NEW EGR SELENOID, ALONG WITH CHANGING THE SECOND SENSOR. STILL THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT GOES ON. I KNOW WHEN THE LIGHT GOES ON BECAUSE I CAN FEEL IN WHEN I EXCELERATE. NOW I WILL BE BRING IT TO THE MECHANIC FOR THE 5 TIME NEXT WEEK. THIS EGR HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE AIR POLLUTION, AND IT ALSO EFFECTS MY GAS MILEAGE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *AK

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH
THE HOOD CAME UP AND BLINDED ME ON THE FREEWAY AT 60MPH. I BELEIVE I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE AND NOT INJURED. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 97V024000, DESCRIBES WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR. I BELIEVE THE SAME HOOD LATCH STRIKER DEFECT EXISTS ON 1995 CROWN VICTORIA'S WITHOUT THE POLICE OPTION,BUT IT JUST TAKES LONGER TO SHOW UP. THIS DEFECT SHOWED UP ON MY CAR WITH 96625 MILES OF MOSTLY FREEWAY DRIVING. I SUSPECT IN TIME MANY OTHER STANDARD 1995 CROWN VICTORIA'S WILL BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THE FOUR ALUMINIUM RIVETS THAT HOLD THE HOOD STRIKER PLATE TO THE HOOD FATIGUED WITH THE STRESS OF FREEWAY DRIVING, AND CAME OUT WHEN I WAS TRAVELING 60MPH ON THE FREEWAY, RELEASING THE HOOD WHICH CAME UP AND SMASHED MY WINDSHIELD AND BLINDED ME. I AM LUCK TO BE ALIVE AND NOT IN INJURED. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:TORQUE CONVERTER, SUSPENSION, AIR BAGS
I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT IF THIS VEHICLE WAS USED AS A TAXI/POLICE VEHICLE AND IF ANY RECALL SERVICES WERE PERFORMED ON IT. HYANNIS FORD INC. STATED THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE, BUT I SAW MANY LISTED ON THIS SITE, I HAVE QUESTIONS IN REGARDS TO THE SUSPENSION/AIRBAGS/TORQUE CONVERTER,ETC. COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME HOW I CAN FIND OUT IF THIS VEHICLE HAS RECALLS ON IT AND IF I CAN GET THE WORK DONE. I HAD IMMEDIATE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN I BOUGHT IT, AND I DON'T THINK THE DEALER WILL GIVE ME STRAIGHT ANSWERS. THANKS FOR ANY HELP OR INFORMATION YOU CAN GIVE ME. *AK
