STEERING
Ford is recalling certain model year 2005-2011 Ford Crown Victoria (including Crown Victoria Police Interceptors), Mercury Grand Marquis, and Lincoln Town Car vehicles. The affected vehicles are currently registered or were originally sold in Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. Severe corrosion can seize the lower intermediate shaft which may cause the upper intermediate shaft to collapse and the steering column lower bearing to separate.
I bought my 2011 Crown Victoria used with 35,000 miles on it about 3 years ago.
The car now has 65,000 miles on it and the only items that have needed attention are 4 new tires and a new battery.
Regular oil changes with synthetic oil every 6,000 miles.
People complain about how plain the car is, especially the interior.
I must say that I enjoy this.
No built in navigation system that breaks (very expensive fix) or requires purchase of updates (again, expensive).
No built in control of everything system (see Ford Connect). If you have used the current Ford Connect system, Acura Navigation system or BMW iDrive system, then you know just how terrible they are and how very expensive they are to fix when they stop working (and they will).
The seats are comfortable, the car handles very well (for a vehicle of its size), the A/C is fantastic and it is a fantastic open road car.
My driving is 75% city/ 20% highway. The car handles very well in the city. The car rides fairly firm at low speeds and is a bit more floaty at speed.
I drive the car rather hard and get 15 MPG city and 24 MPG highway. Not bad for a heavy V8 whose driver has a lead foot.
The Good:
Little electronic integration.
Few 'high end' gadgets to break (and fix)
very simple mechanically
very inexpensive to fix
good ride in town and on interstate
comfortable seats
very powerful HVAC
gets around just fine in snow WITH snow tires
The Bad:
The cup holders are a very sick joke
The auto HVAC system can be annoying to use (can be difficult to find the 'right' temperature)
The radio is..um..not good. An aftermarket unit would be a good investment.
The tow rating is kind of low for a vehicle of this size
While the 4.6 V8 is a nice unit, something bigger would have been nice
like most RWD vehicles, the car can be tail happy in rain/snow -- but this can add to the fun if you know how to drive
I am very happy with this car.
I have seen Crown Victoria cabs in NY with over 1 million miles on them.
This bodes well for me keeping this car for the next 10 years.
The car is surprisingly noisy at highway speeds and feels cheap.
The road noise coupled with the growling
exhaust note at acceleration made me feel like I was driving a smaller import.
I was also surprised at how much you feel bumps during normal driving. It didn't have that big car ride. I will give it high marks for braking since it has four wheel disc brakes.
The interior is just plain dull and cheap. I guess considering the majority of these become taxis and law enforcement vehicles interior design is not a high priority.
My '96 Buick Roadmaster embarrasses this car in every catagory and thats a difference of 15 years!
From the first gen mustang, the full size Bronco, the 90's taurus, the 7.3 diesel powerstroke, and now the Crown Victoria; Ford has developed a reputation for killing the winners...Why Ford didnt throw a couple bucks into an updated interior, along with exploring options such as offering this vehicle with the newer Ecoboost and Coyote V-8 engines will forever be a mystery.
