Failure Date: 03/01/2009

The paint on my 2007 Mercury Grand Marquis started peeling off in March 2009, it is happening around the grill. This is clearly a paint defect, as stated by a local body shop. In order to repair, paint has to be grinded down to bare metal as paint primer did not bond with metal properly. Cost to repaint car is estimated at $300.

10 Structure problem of the 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis

Failure Date: 03/01/2006

I have 3 Mercury Grand Marquis, 1997, 1996, & 1992. Within the last 14 months, 5 of the 12 window regulators have failed. All vehicles have been garage kept for the most. No unusual or excessive usage to any of these windows. 1992-has ~162k miles-had 2 window regulators fail-driver & front passenger side 1996-has ~33k miles-had 1 window regulator fail-driver door 1997-has ~62k miles-had 2 window regulators fail-driver door & rear driver side two of these windows (1997) have been repaired by a local Ford dealer at approx $190. 00 each. This is a very poor record (42% failure rate) for these parts and I believe there must be a manufacturing defect and some mediation should be considered.

16 Structure problem of the 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis

Failure Date: 06/01/2001

While driving at 40 mph, the vehicle shimmied in the front. The vehicle was taken to the dealership, where the mechanic re-balanced and aligned the tires. The problem still existed after being taken to an independent mechanic. This was an on going problem since the beginning of purchase. The consumer had an adjudication to take the vehicle back to the dealership. The vehicle had been back to the dealer on many occasions for the shimmy in the front. The dealership replaced all four tires and the driveshaft assembly. The vehicle developed an oil leak that was also ongoing, so the dealer replaced the oil pan/oil pan gasket and the rear main crank shaft seal. The ignition coil assembly had to be replaced as well. When the weather was cold, the hood would not pop open and the right front door did not close properly.
