Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis based on all problems reported for the 2003 Grand Marquis.
Vehicle has become increasing difficult to steer and requires manual strength to turn the wheel. At this time we are not able to drive the vehicle, the steering is too hard and would be too dangerous to drive. Doing research on this vehicle I have found that it is the same problem that other marquis' have experience and for which there is a recall. The current recall only applies to the years of 2005 to 2011. Calling the Ford customer service department did not produce any help or results, only an apology that my car was not included in the recall. Ford should be required repair all marquis with this same problem or at the very least provide help for those who call their customer service department complaining of the same issue.
