For sometime now the Headlights on my 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis appear to fade or dim soon after turning them on; giving the impression they are losing power and about to fail. I live in the mountains and am very familiar with each and every turn I See on the roads I travel. You See that Is The Matter of Fact- If My Headlights Failed; I Would Not See The Turn Possibly A Fatal Fact.

?yrs.ago While backing out of parking space at Calaveras Lumber, after shifting into reverse, & removing my foot from the brake; the engine appeared to receive a huge burst of fuel which shot me backward like a rocket slamming my vehicle into and wedging it under the frame of a pickup truck parked in the same lot. I am glad I was parked and had my foot on the brake prior to this unit or system malfunction otherwise the injuries could easily have been fatal on the highway. I think this defect may be a contributing factor to the car dying recently while on my way to a Wedding Reception in Roseville, which left me stranded after dark for 41/2hrs and 71/2hrs. 2days later. I have not been able to start vehicle since and mechanics unable to diagnose why the engine is fuel starved when system parts tested appear to be in good working order. Something seems to be shutting off power or preventing power to the fuel pump and it is not the inertia switch, relays, fuses etc.. Components have been previously inspected by numerous others including dealer. No Recognizable Alert/Warning Prior to Incidents!

The seat belts will not stay attached. you can put them on and they appear to be locked in and you can pull on them to see if they are attached and they appear to attach but then while just sitting, they may pop-off you and become disengaged leaving you without your seat belt on you. this can occur if the car IS in motion or if it IS standing still. sometimes it will even pop-off right after you put it in the buckle. they are faulty. we called ford and they will not do anything to repair or recall it. I talked to 2 people at ford customer care and sent them an email, also but they will not do anything to help us. we also contacted a mercury dealer who told us to call ford.

After driving to mall my daughter realized that my head lights were not on. Checked all fuse (under dash and under hood). None were blown. Realized that had no dome light but did have map/reading lights. No tail lights or brake lights except third brake lights. Had brights if I held high beam lever. Had car towed to shop. Was told that it was the light control module (lcm). was told that ford had and extended warranty on this part. took it to ford dealer. They said that it was only for the 2003-2005 models and that my car was not covered. I think they should extend this warranty to the the 2002 models seeing that this IS a common problem with earlier models and not just the 2003-2005 models. it IS probably the same part.

Steering problem nhtsa # 13v385000, ford recall13s08. "Notchy, stiff or binding" steering, as in ford's recall letter to dealers. Covered were 2005 -2011 models for recall. Solution: "replace lower immediate shaft, etc. Al". My marquis IS a 2002 purchased in il. Reputable local mechanic advised; power steering, fluid, pump, & belt o.k., usually would not create above. Doesn't appear to be a local mechanic fix. (Special tools sent to ford...) this model car / steering has not changed since 2002 & before. If found to be the problem at ford dealership, IS there any recourse? When these cases are decided, do you & others fundamentally state that if a vehicle that IS over "x" years old IS exempt from recall regardless of original identified defect or severity of outcome? *tr

I purchased a set of bridgestone insignia se200 5/2013 . 4Months later I replaced 1 tire due to side wall splitting. Today 12/14/13 I replaced the tire that I bought in 9/13 for the same problem. I contacted bridgestone via email but got no responds I contacted them by phone they told me there was reason for me to be concerned about the tire failures I had experienced even though 40 % of the tires had purchased this year. 3,000 miles on first tire even less on the second tire ,the tire dealer contacted bridgstone and replaced the tire with a firestone tire since bridgestone no longer maker the insignia and he did not want to use another insignia because of what he felt was a manufacturing defect that had been seen in the insignias and other tires that bridgstone makes some of witch have already recalled I will keep a close eye on rest of tires.in my 40 years of driving this IS by far the worst set of tires I have ever owned . Bridgestone should do the right thing and recall this tire before a tire failure causes a fatal injury to some one .but I am sure because of the lack of responce and unconcern of the people that I had spoke to at bridgestone . My local tire dealer IS send my failed tire to bridgestones tech's lets see what they have to say. *tr

Shortly after purchase we went back to dealer to complain about bouncy suspension that made the car go sideways on the highway when going over bumps while in mild turns (just highway direction changes not getting off/on, etc.). dealer looked into problem via fmc and said the 02 suspension had been changed to improve its ride (ha). the changes were too great to be able to change components to get the ride back to what it was in earlier years. only changes we could do to improve it were to get 4 new high pressure (fast responding) kb shocks and goodyear assurance touring (more flex in sidewall) tires to reduce the impact. Now the car does not laterally jump feet but rather inches during highway driving as described above. also: starting relay was replaced twice and harness contacts in lower steering column developed poor connections and had to be sprayed with high cost caig contact improver to get car to start consistently. also: brake pedal raise/lower motor burned out due to gear seizing up in that area and had to be replaced with great difficulty finding a replacement across country since fmc doesn't make parts anymore (> 7 yrs I guess). also: all 8 individual cylinder spark coils were replaced with high performance aftermarket ones after two of fords coils failed, one at a time. all in all not a great car. *js

On september 6, 2005, odi received a petition requesting that the agency investigate allegations of engine spark plug ejection in certain model year 1997 through 2004 ford vehicles with triton V-8 and V-10 engines.odi received a total of 474 non-duplicative complaints on the subject vehicles where the complainant, or the dealer repairing the vehicle, reported that a spark plug detached from the cylinder and/or ejected from the engine.as of december 8, 2005, odi IS not aware of any allegations where the alleged defect resulted in a loss of vehicle control, a crash, an injury, or a fatality in any of the 10,319,810 subject vehicles.in addition, odi IS aware of only two incidents where the vehicle stalled without restart.information contained in the odi consumer complaints and obtained from 72 telephone interviews with complainants showed the following:(1) 99% of the complaints were on my 1997 to 2002 subject vehicles.(2) most the complainants reported hearing a loud pop while driving or upon starting up the vehicle followed by a loud, repetitive clicking or popping sound.(3) many of the complainants reported that the popping sound was accompanied by some loss of vehicle power; however, in 99% of the incidents reported, the vehicle did not stall.in the very few incidents where the vehicle did stall, most vehicles could be restarted.(4) only a small percentage of the complainants cited that they smelled gas or a slight burning smell when the incident occurred.(5) in all but a very few incidents, vehicle damage was limited to the engine.in one incident, the complaint reported that the fuel rail was damaged and replaced after one of the spark plugs ejected from the engine; however, the complainant reported that the damage did not result in any type of fuel leak or fire.in another incident, the only incident where a fire was alleged, the complainant reported that no fluid leak was observed, but that a fire resulted after the spark plug had ejected from the engine and he had restarted the vehicle and driven to another location.none of the complainants reported any damage to the vehicle hood.(6) only two complainants reported that they observed what appeared to be some drops of fuel coming from the cylinder where the spark plug had failed or on the spark plug itself; however, each of these complainants reported that there was no smoke or flames as a result of his incident.as the petitioner noted, and odi?s analysis showed, it IS possible for a spark plug to detach from the engine cylinder threads in the subject vehicles.however, odi?s analysis of 474 complaints describing such incidents found only a very few alleged any safety-related consequences.none of these showed any evidence of a serious safety consequence.given the large population and relatively long exposure time of the subject vehicles, the complaint analysis indicates that the risk to motor vehicle safety from the alleged defect IS very low.in view of the foregoing, it IS unlikely that nhtsa would issue an order for the notification and remedy of the alleged defect at the conclusion of the investigation requested in the petition.therefore, in view of the need to allocate and prioritize nhtsa?s limited resources to best accomplish the agency?s safety mission, the petition IS denied.
