1998 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS Complaints

THE TIRE NOISE IS SO LOUD THAT CONSUMER WOULD NOT HEAR AN EMERGENCY VEHICLE SIREN WHILE DRIVING (MICHELIN P225/60R16 97S M+S SYMMETRY XGREEN ALL SEASON AT 35PSI).*ET

THE SAME CONDITION HAPPENED ON 12/99. I REPORTED THIS TO THE SERVICE DEPT.AT BILL SMITH FORD AND THEY REPLACED A PART THAT CONTROLED THE HIGH BEAMS. IT HAPPENED AGAIN 11/99 DRIVING ON HWY 85 AT APPROX. THE SAME AREA. BOTH TIMES I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT (11PM) WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON WHEN WITHOUT ANY WARNING ALL THE LIGHTS WENT OFF. I TURNED OFF THE HIGH BEAMS AND THE LIGHTS CAME ON. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT YOU SHOULD INVESTIGATE. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE CAR REPAIRED. *AK
