My windshield wipers started coming on and off by themselves in my 2005 Grand Marquis. They also started spraying all of the windshield wipers fluid out. The lights also flicker on and off by themselves. The wipers then stopped working all together. I took it to a Ford dealership where they could not locate the problem.

My 2011 Mercury Grand Marquis ultimate edition, was very great however it caught on fire due to the malfunction of the windshield wipers. . . They would come on automatically while I was driving, my windshield wiper switch would be on the off position. . . And the wipers only worked on a high speed seeing none of the other speeds worked. . . Prime example I would warm up the car for 10 min. . . Because its cold outside then I would drive, all of a sudden minutes later, my windshield wiper turn on by itself in a high speed position , I turned the wipers on so I can see if turning off would help it doesn't so clearly it has a mind of its own. . . As if a ghost was in it. . . I googled the problem. . Cleary there are other models of the same and different year numbers that have the same problem. . . They say its either the wipers motor a relay or the whole left, right indicated switch which the windshield wipers works off of. . . Long story short my car caught on fire the morning of Nov. 21, 2018 a day before thanksgiving in my driveway which could have set my car on fire. . Had to call the fire department at 1:45am in the morning. Due to an electrical issue the car had. . It looked like a movie with the car on fire. Because clearly if the car is parked and the windshield wipers motor is still trying to move with no power to the car. . . I loved that car so much. . It almost caught my house on fire. . . Could have exploded and put my family at risk. Which it did. As much as I love Ford, Lincoln, Mercury I am just saddens and devastated that the car I wanted loved and bought or shall I say financed is totalled buy an electrical fire that burned the inside all up in my car and engine is burned out. . . . And the fire when I was woken up to hear this when I called 911 and was looking outside the fire that I seen started from that driver side front windshield with fire coming from the motor of the wiper onto hood.

Driver seatbelt was replaced (bad maybe) and air bag light came on immediately after seat belt was replaced wipers turn on by themselves and will not turn off.

I am an automotive technician and I service many vehicles daily. I currently own a 97 Mercury Grand Marquis LS and have noticed that practically most steering components on my vehicle are in need of replacing. Specifically the tie rod ends, control arms, ball joins all have blown bushings and a pitman arm. . . . The steering sways so hard on this vehicle. I have noticed that customer's vehicles that I have worked on that are similar to the crown vic, and the marquis are showing signs of steering component concern as well. I see more fords with steering issues than any other vehicle that I service. The vehicles also seem to have issues with anyone sitting in the back that the body will scrape the tires and there are multiple electrical issues. I have had to rig my vent door actuator and I have had to install a shut off switch due to a parasitic draw that I can not locate even with a volt meter. After researching on forums and watching countless youtube videos of owners stating these known issues I believe that it is beyond maintenance standards for these parts all to be faulty from this car manufacturer.

My 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis has had an issue with the lighting module for the headlights. The headlights will not turn on anymore and from what I see from others complaints about this model is that the majority of the complaints with this vehicle are with the same issue! I really hope that this issue becomes a recall since obviously they are aware of how many people are having this problem. Do you know how hard it is not to be able to drive at night?! let alone when it's rainy or foggy out. I have young children what if theres an emergency?? this issue needs to be addressed before more people get into an accident! are they waiting for someone to die first!? another issue I have is with the windshield wipers- they only have one speed- fast. I don't know why they wouldn't make them with slower settings, every time it rains lightly I have to turn them on for a second and off repeatedly because there aren't any slower settings. I like the comfort of my Grand Marquis but these issues really need to get resolved or I'll be forced to by another vehicle and if they don't do a recall on the exterior lights I will never buy another vehicle from Ford motor company because it will show that they really don't care about people's safety!.

In early June the headlights started going out with no warning. They would also flash on and off when the wipers were on. Took the car to a mechanic and he said the lcm was bad. $500 to repair. Was looking online for a lcm and seen that Ford was extending their warranty on the lcm under the number 14n01. Looked at my Ford recall letters and seen that Ford sent out this warranty 14n01 to me in April of 2014. Took car to the dealer on 11 August and they confirmed the lcm was bad and would replace it. It is now 15 September and the parts are still not available. Now the wipers and wiper washer come on even when the wiper switch is off. Lights come on when their not supposed to. Anti-skid was also flashing on and off. Car may be unsafe to drive but I need transportation for work and cannot always use my wife's car. Ford will not offer a car for me to use. Should this be a safety recall? do I have any options with Ford?.

While driving on expressway at night in a driving rainstorm, my wipers quit working. I was able to pull over until the rain stopped, but could have been a disaster. On April 23rd the dealer diagnosed the wiper motor assembly was bad. P/n 8w7z*17508*a. I have found since the redesign of wiper motor assembly in 2003, that the wiper motors get water in them and short or corrude the intergral wiper electronic board. Even thought the failure rate may be low, the potential for a disaster, like I could of had is great. This part should be redesigned and effected vehicles recalled. I have no complaint with the dealer work.

While driving home with my wife and granddaughter my wipers started to go on in delay mood and my lights turned on. I was shocked at this because my wiper switch was in the off setting and my light switch was in auto setting and it was a bright sunny day. After about ten or 15 minutes the wipers stopped and lights went out. A few day later I was going to the store and it started all over wipers staying on in the delay mood and this time did not stop. I call my brother in florida whom is a auto tech and he told me that it seemed like the multifuction switch and told me to change it out which I did. It did not resolve the issue and the car remains down due to this issue. There is only 42300 on this car which my father gave me as a gift and he bought it new from leominster Lincoln mecury and I feel this issue is a safety problem which could lead to complete wiper failing or worse a car fire from some defective system that controls this wiper system. Car remains down as of the writing of this report. Due to myself being disabled and on s/s disability I do not have the money to fix this problem because I feel a dealer service tech should take this issue from here. I have disconected the battey and the car now sits in my driveway.

While driving at night, the headlights suddenly go out. This is very dangerous, regardless of either driving on the highway or in the city (especially with pedestrians). They tend to stay out for 10-15 min before they start working again. While they are out, the brake lights go out at the same time, making it even more scarier, cant see to drive, and the car behind me cant see me slowing down or stopping, which increases the chances for an accident. Needs to be recalled ASAP. It appears that it is the lighting control module is faulty and the part itself is quite costly starting at $300 - $500 for the part itself or $800 installed.

I was driving home with my wife and wipers came on in delay mode by themselves without me touching anything . I called my dealer and was told that they thought it was the wiper motor or the multi function switch . First I replaced multi function switch and the same issue wiper came on in delay mode . I then replaced the wiper motor and that worked until 3/19/14 while I took my car out for my 31st wedding anniversary with my wife we were driving to go to dinner and my wiper came on once again at this point I am so outraged at this because I just put new wiper blade on 2 days before and they just started going on in the same way as before in delay mode . I once again have to look into this wiper issue and I am sick to death nothing ever gets recalled or the cost taken by Ford for the many issues with this car. There is now 44000 mile on a car I only use when it's nice out and this is just one more problem to deal with again .
