1995 FORD CROWN VICTORIA Complaints

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT REMAINS ILLUMINATED, INDICATING A MALFUNCTION WITHIN THE SYSTEM. DEALER REPLACED THE CLOCK SPRING WITHIN THE STEERING COLUMN WHICH HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. *AK

HEADLAMP LENSES HAVE BECOME WHITE AND SMOKEY LOOKING CAUSING LIGHTING TO BE POOR ON LOW OR HIGH BEAM RESULTING IN POOR VISIBILITY.

FOUR ALUMINUM RIVETS THAT HOLD MY HOOD TO THE LATCH STRIKER PLATE BROKE CAUSING THE HOOD TO FLY UP AND BREAK WINDSHIELD AND BLINDING DRIVER, RECALL COMPONENT ON HEAVIER SUSPENSION MODELS, VEHICLE DENIED DUE TO SUSPENSION DESIGN.

I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT IF THIS VEHICLE WAS USED AS A TAXI/POLICE VEHICLE AND IF ANY RECALL SERVICES WERE PERFORMED ON IT. HYANNIS FORD INC. STATED THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE, BUT I SAW MANY LISTED ON THIS SITE, I HAVE QUESTIONS IN REGARDS TO THE SUSPENSION/AIRBAGS/TORQUE CONVERTER,ETC. COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME HOW I CAN FIND OUT IF THIS VEHICLE HAS RECALLS ON IT AND IF I CAN GET THE WORK DONE. I HAD IMMEDIATE PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN I BOUGHT IT, AND I DON'T THINK THE DEALER WILL GIVE ME STRAIGHT ANSWERS. THANKS FOR ANY HELP OR INFORMATION YOU CAN GIVE ME. *AK

THE HOOD CAME UP AND BLINDED ME ON THE FREEWAY AT 60MPH. I BELEIVE I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE AND NOT INJURED. NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 97V024000, DESCRIBES WHAT HAPPENED TO MY CAR. I BELIEVE THE SAME HOOD LATCH STRIKER DEFECT EXISTS ON 1995 CROWN VICTORIA'S WITHOUT THE POLICE OPTION,BUT IT JUST TAKES LONGER TO SHOW UP. THIS DEFECT SHOWED UP ON MY CAR WITH 96625 MILES OF MOSTLY FREEWAY DRIVING. I SUSPECT IN TIME MANY OTHER STANDARD 1995 CROWN VICTORIA'S WILL BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. THE FOUR ALUMINIUM RIVETS THAT HOLD THE HOOD STRIKER PLATE TO THE HOOD FATIGUED WITH THE STRESS OF FREEWAY DRIVING, AND CAME OUT WHEN I WAS TRAVELING 60MPH ON THE FREEWAY, RELEASING THE HOOD WHICH CAME UP AND SMASHED MY WINDSHIELD AND BLINDED ME. I AM LUCK TO BE ALIVE AND NOT IN INJURED. *AK

SAFETY RECALL 97S63, HOOD STRIKER PLATE REPLACEMENT. FORD SAYS NOT THIS VIN, BUT IT FAILED! *AK

TRANSMISSION CONTINUES TO HESITATE, JERK AND LURCH FORWARD AFTER REPAIR OF THE FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER, UNABLE TO RECTIFY TRANSMISSION FAILURE.

WHEN COMING OFF HIGHWAY SPEEDS INTO URBAN AREAS, PARTICULARLY IN PARKING LOTS, THE STEERING FAILS, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. DEALER CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK *SLC
