general problems of the 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis

The vehicle acceleration by it self and could not stop it. Propelled thru the. Brakes and would not stop. We are taking car to Ford dealer. The car engine was stopped and restarted run ok. Not sure if a recall about this yr. With this problem?.

While entering onto the woodrow wilson bridge from I-295s on 2/1/2018, I pulled into the center lane and backed off the gas pedal, but the car continued to accelerate on its own. Luckily the traffic was light, after hitting the brake and the off button for the cruise control, to no effect, I was able to pull into the right lane and turn the car off. While still in motion, I turned the key back on and everything was normal again. Since it wasn't a cruise control issue, it would appear it is similar to the Toyota problem with the drive by wire issue.

With only 30,000 miles, the fuel rail assembly corroded through, created a pin hole and sprayed fuel against the hood assembly and over the entire top of the engine. This occurred only 2 days after the vehicle had been repaired by Ford for the safety steering recall. The vehicle was repaired and mechanic mentioned that he has never seen this before and this assembly should not have corroded.

On 6/1/14 I was driving south on sr44 in ohio near lake punderson and following a farmer driving a farm tractor. When I got a chance to pass him I accelerated to kick in the passing gear and when I cleared him and left off the throttle it did not respond instead it continued at a high speed for a few seconds before letting off. I thought maybe the throttle got caught on my car mat. I very rarely push the throttle to the floor. Then yesterday 8/20/14 I was with my family traveling north on I-77 in akron ohio and again I kicked the car into passing gear to pass and this time it accelerated and did not retract on my letting off. I slid the shifter into neutral and placed my foot under the pedal and lifted up and it came up but I thought I felt some resistance with the peddle. I continued on to my destination only a few miles to copley ohio. I parked the car turning off the engine and slid the seat back and on my knees in the driveway I reached in with my right hand and pushed the peddle all the way in and let go of it and to my surprise it remained in the full throttle position. I then pulled the throttle back and felt resistance. I pushed it back in again and it stuck but came back with with less resistance so I pumped it back and forth and got rid of the sticking problem. I then thought it may of developed some light rust on the linkage so I looked up under the dash and there is no place to lubricate thats when I realized I really had a problem and possibly a lot of people owning a similar car. As of this writing I went out to the car in the garage and reached in and pushed the throttle to the floor and it came back nicely. A lot of people will not react as I did and shift into neutral.

Tl- the contact owns a 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis. The contact stated that while in park, the contact noticed that the fuel straps had partially detached from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed that the fuel straps had corroded and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000. Gl.

My 2006 Grand Marquis original plastic intake manifold developed a crack at the drivers side rear intake bolt area causing it to leak antifreeze. This caused me to have to spend $240. 00 to buy a new dorman replacement and install it. Ford continues to use these cheap plastic manifolds despite losing a class action lawsuit against them for this problem. There will be more of these plastic manifold failing in the near future to be sure. This problem should be addressed by a new class action lawsuit due to fords continued incompetence as a manufacturer. My car also suffers from a defective eatc air conditioner control that blows air out of the wrong vents and won't activate the ac. Also a bolt broke on the drivers side front seat due to rust. Also the digital compass has quit working. Also had a water leak in the back passenger floor area.
