On December 23, 2015 I was driving my 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis through an intersection in harris county, texas. I had just received a green light and was proceeding to make a left turn when my vehicle was hit by another vehicle in the driver's side front. The damage to my vehicle was severe. The at fault driver's insurance company declared my vehicle a total loss. My vehicle's air bags did not deploy. I was wearing my seat and shoulder belts at the time of the collision. I was examined at a nearby emergency room. They said "no serious injury" but my orthopedic surgeon said I have a separation of my left shoulder.

As I was driving at night, my vehicle's low and high beams (lights) suddenly cut off. Unexpectedly, the road I was traveling became very dark because I live in rural areas in west virginia. Unfortunately, a second later, my car ran over a small boulder on the side on the road causing a damage (small cracks) at the bottom right hand side of my bumper. Nevertheless, I put the emergency lights on until I returned home right away. Earlier this week, I used the car again without any lights issues. However a day later, the issue returned again. This time I was traveling in the highway at 60 miles per hour. All low/high beam lights cut off. My only solution was to hold the "flash to pass" lever towards me, and the high beam lights would turn on. However, it is extremely cumbersome driving this way. I've been told by many mechanics that the main culprit is the lighting control module (lcm) and this safety issue has become extremely common in Grand Marquis especially 2005 models. Consumers and perhaps the government may need to further intervene, so Ford can do something about this safety/hazardous. In my case, my bottom bumper suffered, but it could have been worse - it could easily cause an accident at any given time. Currently, I only use my vehicle during the daylight hours. I've been told that repairs can exceed $700 or more and in some instances, the issue returns within a few months after replacing this part. This electrical issue should perhaps be further investigated as the lcm could be the main culprit, but something else could also be triggering the lcm to fail. Thank you greatly!.
Started vehicle to move it in my driveway. Put it in drive and throttle stuck open and vehicle slammed my garage corner. Tried putting it in park and it went into reverse (brake override did not work) instead and crossed street, went across neighbors landscaping stones and slammed into the house next door's front porch at which time the ignition shut down and the car came to a stop. Many thousands of dollars in damages to all three homes.

I was pulling into a parking space and had almost come to a stop when the vehicle suddenly lurched forward & hit a (vacant) store front. I feel the vehicle accel- erated on it's own as I was applying the brake at the time, my foot did not slip off of the brake. The vehicle is equipped with "drive by wire" or, no cable is attached to the throttle body from the accelerator. The dealer repaired the front end of the vehicle and extensively examined the throttle system. No apparent cause was determined and they told us it may never happen again. We have traded the vehicle in since repairs were completed due to lack of confidence in it.
This is the third consecutive Mercury Grand Marquis I’ve owned that has developed a peeling paint problem (all purchased new). One instance of this I could chalk up to luck of the draw, a random defect. But three automobiles, same make, with the same problem? this defies the laws of random chance and indicates an ongoing quality control problem with these vehicles. This 2008 model Mercury Grand Marquis was purchased new and had about 55,000 miles on the odometer when I noticed the peeling paint. There is no reason — beyond shoddy quality control — that this kind of paint problem should be occuring on a five-year-old car. There is even less reason — beyond shoddy quality control — that it should occur on three cars of the same model. Internet searches indicate this is a fairly common problem with these vehicles — again reflecting shoddy quality control by Ford. One would think, over the 10 years that this problem has occurred with my Grand Marquis models, that Ford would have taken steps to resolve the situation. Apparently not. They haven't even bothered to respond to my letter to their customer care (?) department.

The body side mouldings on my vehicle comes loose, and could come off and become airborne, damaging other vehicles. This defect has been noticed on other 2010 Mercury marquis. The dealer has been great, and is ordering a complete set. They cannot tell me if new ones will have the defect or not? I have no complaint with the dealer. I would like to know if Ford has corrected the problem with delamination in the new parts.
While driving at dusk on my way home (with my 5 year old little girl!), my headlights shut off without warning! we were fortunate that several drivers in the oncoming lane were concerned and conscientious and flashed their high beams to signal that something was wrong. Deductively, I ruled out my lights being off because the switch was on. That was until the traffic light turned red and I saw no reflection on the back of the car in front of me! I flipped the switch off then back on again to see if it was a bad connection in the switch or perhaps it was between positions and would possibly work if I repositioned it. No good! ugh, the light went green! I nervously pulled at the bright light selector to see if they worked! just in time to barely miss the SUV that obviously did not see us!!! I did not let it go untill we were safe at home!!! phew!!! I guess now would be the time to change my pants!.
