42 Vehicle Speed Control problem of the 1999 Ford Crown Victoria

Failure Date: 03/01/1999

Pinging is experienced when the throttle is open all the way during acceleration. The recommended fuel for this vehicle is regular unleaded, which I use. When I use premium there is no pinging. This has been evident the entire time I have had this vehicle. I brought the vehicle in for this problem during the warranty period and was told that it was normal, this is not normal. After the 100,000-mi tune-up the problem was not evident until about 5000 mi afterward. There is a design flaw and possible misrepresentation if the vehicle was advertised as using regular unleaded and really should be using premium.
