I was driving down an interstate freeway at 65mph and came to a curve, the steering was very tight and was unable to keep the car in my lane. Luckily there was no one next to me at the time. From that time on the steering kept getting tighter and tighter. I had to use bodily force to physically turn the steering wheel. I took the car to an auto repair shop and the issue was diagnosed as a faulty steering shaft joints. I had to have the lower steering shaft replaced. I was informed that 2005- 2011 Mercury Grand Marquis were recalled for this issue. As of writing this 2004 Grand Marquis are not included. This is a major safety issue and should be looked into further. I believe Ford/Mercury should be responsible for the cost of this repair.

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.

Steering is very hard to control, it goes where bumps and dips take you. Car will jump all over the road. Steering has constant pull to left with lots noise. Also steel to steel slamming noise. Steering colum inside car moves. Dealers look make some adjustments,say found no problem. But problems continue. I returned for repeat preformance. Very rough ride front and rear . Electrical problems surfacing, lights flickering,dash,dome headlights etc. , engine cut out as if I turned it off and then came back on each time ihave been sitting still, talk about a dangerous driving situation! again the dealer checks it out finds no problem says they cant always find a problem until it happens and they have the car when the problem occurs. Alot of good thats going to do driving down the highway at 60mph with 5 kids in the car!!! the air conditioning doesn't cool well at first they said no problem the weather got very hot ,they set an appointment. They found low pressure replaced low prssure clutch switch. I took the car in again for poor front end and steering control now adding to the list aloud slamming together of 2 pieces of steel coming from the left front tire area either going over bumps or dips I can't tell which because it happens randomly. The solution, the dealer checks the right side! so the car goes back again .
