One problem related to engine funny noise has been reported for the 2002 Ford Crown Victoria. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2002 Ford Crown Victoria based on all problems reported for the 2002 Crown Victoria.
The engine stalled while driving, for no apparent reason. Driver (my retired mother, age 72) had to get car off road and restart car to continue. The power steering disabled when the car engine stalled. This has happened multiple times (2-3) over the past month, and the local Ford dealership cannot replicate the problem and is unable to correct it. On another occasion there was a thumping noise and the car slowed considerably, but then picked back up again. The "engine heat/thermometer" light has flashed also, but the engine temperature heat is normal. I consider this a very dangerous situation for my motor if it would happen in a heavily congested, high traffic area and could cause a vehicle crashes. It is a very stressful situation.
