| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 2006 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL | TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN SWITCHING GEARS FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE, THE VEHICLE JOLTS. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE CONTACT HAD TO USE MAXIMUM PRESSURE IN ORDER TO APPLY THE BRAKES. THE ENGINE TACHOMETER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS AT 2000 RPM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TACHOMETER IS NORMALLY AT 550 RPM. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 9,000. |
| 1997 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM | THE INTAKE MANIFOLD IS MADE OF A PLASTIC MATERIAL. IT DEVELOPED A CRACK AND A MAJOR COOLANT LEAK AT THE FRONT OF THE MANIFOLD. THE CAR WAS RUNNING AT NORMAL TEMP BEFORE THE FAILURE, IT JUST CRACKED WITH NO WARNING. THIS IS A MAJOR FIX BECAUSE THE ENTIRE INTAKE MANIFOLD HAS TO BE REPLACED. THE COST OF THE PART ALONE IS $283. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART, IN MY OPINION. DT |
