The contact owns a 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis. The contact heard a squeaking noise coming from the front end of the vehicle. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle shook violently and the steering wheel vibrated. When the contact attempted to make a turn, the steering would not align with the turn and the contact had to over compensate to complete the turn. Carriage Ford Inc (908 E lewis and clark pkwy, clarksville, in 47129, (812) 284-4444) stated that there was no recall; therefore, they could not assist with the repairs. The manufacturer was contacted and confirmed that there were no recalls. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

The seat belts do not restrain. Also, the steering rod was broken and fixed at the last inspection which was 5/2018. We were told that the seat belts would cost $1500 or more to repair. I saw on this website that there was a recall on seat belts not restraining.

A bolt in the shifting linkage loosens over time on many Ford models. Our bolt apparently loosened & causes shifter to be in a great other than what is indicated on the dash. Our vehicle indicated it was in the ' park' position, but was not. The vehicle later rolled down the hill & caused nearly $1200 of damage to the passenger side. Ford knows of this problem.

On 08/18/2008 my mother took her vehicle to sunnyvale Lincoln Mercury dealership [408] 732-7000[she purchased the vehicle there] because she was having problems getting the transmission to go in gear using the gear shift handle on the steering colomn. The dealership [invoice 24804, gabriel medina] said the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle drove O.K. it was just hard to go from park to drive. My mother is 86 years old and lives by her self. I feel strongly that she was taken for a ride and cheated out of $2,611.93. She was never told as to why the transmission needed to be replaced, she drives a 2000 Mercury Grand Marquis with 17,352 miles on it. All oil changes and service work was done at the dealership from day one. Now the transmission is missing. Her warranty coverage for the transmission is her receipt from the dealership. There was never a problem with the shifting of the transmission once she got the gear shift handle to go to drive. So, if there is a problem with the linkage from the steering column to the transmission, why did the transmission have to be replaced?
