CarComplaints.com Notes: It's the end of the road for the Crown Victoria as Ford announced it is discontinuing the iconic model at the end of the 2011 model year. While sales were still doing well, Ford realized it would have to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to update the decades-old Panther platform.
With the Crown Vic gone, Ford no longer has a v8 sedan for sale in the US for the first time in nearly 80 years.
Due to an accident I was told that my car would be totaled and to go buy another car. I went back to the same dealership I purchased that vehicle and found the Crown Vic desirable but wasn't sure. After telling the sales rep that I would not be able to get the car because I did not have the down payment they wanted..they immediately came back and said they could get financing through Chase and that a down payment would not be required. After several months of driving I became increasingly unhappy with the performance of the vehicle and not to mention it was a gas hog...the main problem seemed to be in the steering as the car continually pulled to the right. I am a senior citizen and feel that I was bamboozled by dealership and Chase. I would like this vehicle investigated for defects...Thanks for providing this forum and any assistance/information you can provide.
