The contact owns a 2001 Mercury Marquis. While shifting into park, the contact attempted to sound the horn, but was unsuccessful. A crash occurred, but there were no injuries. The dealer stated that the horn in the vehicle was designed to be difficult to find. The contact wants to know if the horn is located under the horn symbol or under the air bag. He has to remove his hands from the steering wheel in order to blow the horn, which takes a lot of effort. He feels that it is a safety hazard that the horn does not work. The failure mileage was 28,000 and current mileage was 29,414.
I traded a 1999 grand Marquis in on a 2001 grand Marquis about 6 weeks ago. A major problem with the 99 was that the dash lights kept blowing fuses. Now the 2001 is doing the same thing, there is only 53,000 miles on it.
2001 grand Marquis VIN #2mefm74w81x615676 . Unsafe at any speed. Failure of "check engine light " to indicate ignition failure. Number 3 and 5 coils failed as well the idle control. Car lurched forward at stop light ,engine cut in and out during high speed express driving resulted in loss of power brake as well power steering. Car was fixed at the dealership at my expense. Emission warranty book shows the 80k emission warranty should have taken care of it at no cost. ?car has 72k miles. Also the "check engine light " component are not operating! the April 2006 consumer report gives the 2001 crown victoria and grand Marquis a black mark in the ignition section. Ford should replace balance of 6 ignition coils and pay me for the repair. A class action suit be done !!! alfred ament.
