This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Catastophic cooling failure. Intake manifold replaced for $900. Mechanic noted that this was common on Ford crown vics with defective plastic intake manifolds (they now use metal). Understand this has been recalled in crown vic taxis and police cars, but not in other crown vics. Why not? won't buy a Ford again. Ford owes me for the cost of the failure of this defective part.
While driving vehicle caught on fire from plastic manifold, and engine shut down.. dealer has been notified. Any additional information feel free to add.
Vehicle experiences stalling at slow speeds in traffic and at stop signs, dealer has replaced idle air control and fuel pump and has reprogrammed the computer, however the stalling still occurs and the dealer can not remedy, consumer has almost been rear ended on two occasions, when stalling occurs, all power steering is lost, possibly engine or computer related.
