SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT
2003 FORD CROWN VICTORIA-- THE HEAD RESTS IN THESE AUTOMOBILES ARE SO HIGH THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OVER OR AROUND THEM. THE ONLY WAY TO HAVE VISION TO THE REAR OF THE CAR IS BY RAISING THE HEAD REST UP ON ITS POST, ABOVE THE POSITION THAT WOULD ALLOW IT TO BE OF USE IN AN ACCIDENT.. THE 2003 IS LARGER THAN THE 2000 AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND. THE PRESENT SIZE IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY PROBLEM THAT NEEDS CORRECTION.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:CARBURETOR SYSTEM
THE INTAKE MANIFOLD FAILED AND COOLANT LEAKED FROM CRACK IN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. FORD KNOWS OF THE PROBLEM AND HAS SEVERAL RECALLS FOR THE PROBLEM THAT COVERS ONLY THE FLEET CARS (TAXI AND POLICE). THE SAME DEFECTIVE PART IS USED ON CONSUMER VEHICLES. I THINK THAT ALL 4.6L SOHC V8 ENGINES WITH THIS DESIGN DEFECT SHOULD BE COVERED.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, STRUCTURE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
NAR 01/15/2003. THE IDLE AIR CONTROL MOTOR FAILED WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE NOT TO IDLE AND STALL IF THE CONSUME DID NOT DRIVE WITH ONE FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE OTHER ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE DEALER SUGGESTED REPLACING THE PART, BUT NOT UNDER ANY WARRANTY. THE CONSUMER DISCOVERED THAT IF HE TAPS ON THE COMPONET IT WILL WORK FOR AWHILE. ALSO THE LOWER TRIM ON THE WINDSHIELD VIBRATED AND THE CONSUMER HAD TO PLACE A CARD BOARD BOX BETWEEN THE TRIM AND THE WINDSHIELD TO STOP THE NOISE. THE RIGHT PASSENGER WINDOW WILL NOT OPERATE WHEN THE SUN HEATS UP AND SHINES ON THAT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED. THE DEALER INSPECTED AND GREASED THE TRACK, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. THE CONSUMER BELIEVED IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE, BECAUSE AS SOON AS THE DOOR COOLS OFF AND IS PARKED IN THE SHADE, THE WINDOW OPERATED FINE. *JB
