| 1995 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | CAR JERKING SO THAT I TOOK TO RELIABLE MECHANIC. HE DROVE CAR AND SAID THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. THE MECHANIC SAID THE TRANSMISSION FLUID SMELLED A LITTLE BURNED CONSISTENT WITH SLIPPING OF THE TRANSMISSION. THE MECHANIC'S RECOMMENDATION WAS TO WAIT UNTIL TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED SINCE HE THOUGHT THE ONLY OPTION WAS TO HAVE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. THIS 1995 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS HAS ONLY 34,000 MILES ON IT. I HAD HEARD RECENTLY THAT MANY OF THE MERCURY'S AND FORD'S HAD EARLY TRANSMISSION FAILURE. *AK |
| 2008 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | JUST BOUGHT THE 2008 GRAND MARQUIS, FIRST DAY, RADIO DID NOT WORK, (STILL DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY). TOOK THE CAR IN FOR OIL CHANGE 2500 MILES, ALSO ASKED THEM TO CHECK OUT A NOISE THE CAR WAS MAKING. I WAS JUST INFORMED YESTERDAY I NEED A NEW ENGINE. THEY THE DEALER SAID IT WAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE TIMING CHAIN AT FIRST THE REPLACED THAT PART AND STILL HAD THE NOISE. I WILL NEVER OWN A FORD PRODUCT, AND THEY WONDER WHY THEY ARE LOSING MARKET SHARE!!! BY THE WAY, THIS IS MY 9TH GRAND MARQUIS, I JUST TRADED AN 2005 TO GET RID OF IT, IT TOO HAD A NOISE THEY COULD NOT FIX. NOW MY WIFE WILL NOT EVEN DRIVE THIS ONE WHEN WE GET IT BACK FROM THE DEALER. *TR |
