VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED DURNING HEAVY RAIN. FORD DEALER COULD NOT LOCATE CAUSE OF FAILURE AS WIPERS STARTED TO WORK AGAIN AFTER CAR SAT IDLE FOR 15 MINUTES IN FORD SERIVICE BAY. FORD DEALER SAID THEY COULD ONLY CORRECT IF THEY FAILED AND STAYED BROKEN. NOT GOOD ADIVICE WHEN YOUR DRIVING 65 MILES ON AN INTERSTATE IN HEAVY RAIN. I THINK THIS IS A MOJOR SAFTY ITEM. YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO SEE. *AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY
I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE "BATTERY" LIGHT. IT WOULD COME ON AND STAY ON. THE CAR WAS RETRUNED TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THE LAST TIME THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND WOULD ORDER A PART AND THAT THE CAR WAS "SAFE" TO DRIVE IN THE MEANTIME. NOT SO. THE CAR HAD LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER AND ENGINE SHUTDOWN. ENGINE SHUTDOWN, LOSS OF POWER STEERING, LOSS OF HYDRAULIC BRAKE AND LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. THE CAR WAS TOWN INTO THE DEALER THAT NIGHT. THEY DENY KNOWING THERE WOULD BE ANY "PROBLEM." SEE YOUR NHTSA RECALL NO. 94V056/FORD RECALL NO. 94S83. DIFFERENT YEAR AND REGION. SIMILAR "PROBLEM."

STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS
FORD HAS STOPPED INSTALLING SPLASH SHIELD (P/N FSVY*8327*A) UNDER MOTOR OF CROWN VICTORIA. THIS CAUSES THE FAN BELT TO COME OFF WHEN IT IS RAINING. CAR LOSES ALL ACCESSORIES INCLUDING POWER STEERING/ ALTERNATOR, AND WATER PUMP. CAR CAN NOT BE DRIVEN OVER 4 BLOCKS DUE TO OVERHEATING. THIS WILL PLACE ELDERLY PEOPLE ON SIDE OF ROAD IN RAIN (OR THEY WILL CRASH BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TURN THE CAR WITHOUT POWER STEERING). *AK
