Read complaints for FORD CROWN VICTORIA (2000)
I was operating my vehicle on route 10 in prince george county. There is no light on this road. I was having a difficult seeing. The high beam seemed to not illuminate the road sufficiently. The low beams were good for close up but not far away. I pulled the high beam switch back to high beam (flash high) and held it so i could see better. As i was going through an "s" curve the entire electrical system on the car shut down. I immediately let go of the control and hit the brakes. I lost all power to the car. I can't remember if the motor cut off or not. I almost wrecked the car. After a second or two power came back on. I was in the oncoming lane of traffic with no lights and then they came back on.this is an extremely dangerous function of the vehicle and could easily result in deaths. I wanted you to be aware of this. I have never done this again due to the results of that incident. The date on this incident is an estimate. I have no idea when this happened. Just know it was last year.
Nar 01/15/2003. The idle air control motor failed which caused the vehicle not to idle and stall if the consume did not drive with one foot on the brake and the other on the accelerator. The dealer suggested replacing the part, but not under any warranty. The consumer discovered that if he taps on the componet it will work for awhile. Also the lower trim on the windshield vibrated and the consumer had to place a card board box between the trim and the windshield to stop the noise.the right passenger window will not operate when the sun heats up and shines on that side of the vehicle when the vehicle is parked. The dealer inspected and greased the track, but the problem continued.the consumer believed it was an electrical issue, because as soon as the door cools off and is parked in the shade, the window operated fine.
While driving at various times electrical problems occur, headlights will go out along with instrument panel. Sometimes the fan on will come on and will cut off even when it is off. When temp is cold heater blows cold air. Hot outside heats works. Ac works fine in both climates. Drivers side window will not come down in certaintemperatures. Heads have low visibility and lens cover gets moisture inside. You have to drive at night with high beams to try and see at all.suspension is definitely a problem on steering car has a swaying motion at times especially in warm weather popping, squeaky notices can also be heard. Vehicle has 92,000 actual miles but is becoming a hazard to drive.vehicle has been inspected by a reputable repair service who states suspension looks good, parts have grease in joints, etc and heater problem everything was in specs.large ford dealership 35 miles away would not schedule an appointment due to car being an older model.if problems are not found, an accident is waiting to happen! note : electrical problems have been ongoing and have increasingly become worse.
The contact owns a 2000 ford crown victoria. While driving various speeds, the headlights and instrument panel lighting flickered. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 150,000.
When 15 amp fuse blew, transmission locked in park. Consumer was unable to switch gears.
Headlights shorted out, obstructing view on driver on four occasions.dealer has inspected and repairedvehicle. Consumer states both high and low beam have shorted out.
Defective plastic intake manifold prone to cracking and leaking coolant.this item was previously reported to nhtsa and ford was required to pay for repairs already done and to extend warranty.i'm told that warranty expired for something that a recall should have taken care of.i'm told that cost to repair is in excess of $1400.contacted dealer and ford asking for replacement of part and i will pay labor but both declined.
I was driving across the causeway when my car started shaking. I turned down the radio and it sounded like it back firing. I pulled over and called my mechanic to meet me where i broked down. H immediately saw the problem but he could not fix it. I had to bring it to another shop to get it repaired. Luckily when this happened i was getting off the causeway because that bridge is 24 miles long.
2000 ford crown victoria leaks coolant from the intake manifold. Consumer wants to know why the warranty is only seven years for this part. *nj
On 15 nov 2009, my car started spitting and sputtering, i thought it was bad gasoline.on 16 nov 2009, i had my car checked by my garage, was told that #5 spark plug and coil was bad due to leaking coolant at my intake manifold.after contacting my local ford dealer thinking i could just buy a part vs. A whole manifold (like i was told i needed), i learned that there had been a recall for this problem and repairs were covered by ford for only 7 years of auto's life.well naturally, my car is 9 yrs old now and i'm facing a $1100.00 repair bill.i was told the manifold could rupture at any time leaving me and my 2 yr old grandson stranded at any time.i feel like ford is holding me hostage. With the spitting and sputtering the car was doing, we could have been in a serious accident.i have always driven ford/mercury products, but i'm not impressed with what's just happened. I don't want to be "found on road dead" (ford).
Over a period of timeair conditioning panel has heated up.panel gets very hot, no matter whatsetting it is on.dealer says all vehicles do this, andit's nothing to be alarmed about. Consumer is getting a second opinion.the control panel was replaced but the problem still exists.
The engine in my 2000 crown victoria stalled at a stop sign, and i lost the power steering and power brakes. The car turned into a tank and could not be controlled. It was extremely scary because i could have hit some innocent people which would have meantanother lawsuit for ford. I had to put one foot on the brake and one foot on the accelerator to get the car to an auto service center. At 38,938 miles, the car needed a new idle speed control motor, air filter, and mass air flow sensor. I believe that these parts were defective and wrote a letter to william clay ford, the chairman of ford motor company. While the car was still under warranty, the overdrive switch had to be replaced because the warning light would not go off. I felt that there should have been no charge, but the dealer charged me $200 for labor. I believe that this car is an ontario-built monday morning lemon and will never buy another ford automobile.
In june 2004, when my 2000 crown victoria had 37082 miles on it, the air conditioner failed to blow cold air; the vehicle was inspected by ford quality care in gaithersburg, md, where it was determined that the problem was associated with the compressor and the dryer, both of which were replaced.the compressor (part #f3az-19v703-aarm - $391.59) and dryer (part #yw1z-19c836-aa - $139.30) along with other smaller parts were replaced for $543.12, and labor brought to total bill to $1010.62.i asked that the parts be returned, but was told they were core and could not be returned.had the failure occurred 1083 miles earlier i assume it would have been covered under the warranty.

In january 2005, when my 2000 ford crown victoria had 41573 miles on it, the heater fan failed to blow warm air. A local service garage in gaithersburg, md tested the system and determined that the blower control module had malfunctioned. The module was replaced (part #xw1h-19e624-ab, made in brazil, $95.88), and labor to replace the module brought the total bill to $259.27.it should be noted that only 4000+ miles earlier the compressor and dryer had been replaced to provide cool air during the summer.

My wife was on her way home from work and she called me saying that something was wrong with the car.she said it was swaying back and forth on the highway and was very difficult to drive.she made it home and pulled into the drive way.when she turned the steering wheel strait the front driver side of the car hit the ground.when i got home i looked at it and seen that the lower ball joint had come out of the socket.i looked up my vehicle online and seen that i wasn't the only one with this problem.upon further inspection of my car i noticed there is no grease port to do regular greasing of the parts.as i looked closer to the socket i seen that the socket was completely dry.no grease at all in the joints.as i inspected the passenger side lower ball joint i noticed that is very close to failure also.

While driving at a low speed (< 25 mph) on a local rural road that leads to my house, i heard a sudden scraping noise and had a difficult time turning the vehicle into my driveway.

Upon replacement the mechanic noted the tie rod had failed due to corrosion and material loss. If this failure had happened at highway speed, this would have resulted in loss of control of the vehicle and a severe crash.

I was making a right hand turn at a slow speed (>10mph) when the intermediate steering shaft separated from the lower steering shaft, resulting in a loss of steering.
Was steering into an isle of parking spots when suddenly and without warning, the steering wheel began to spin freely and effortlessly. I immediately stopped the car because it could do nothing but go in the direction the tires were turned at the time of the steering failure, which in my case, would have been right into three parked cars. Upon inspection, the steering column had come loose from the rest of the car, causing a loss in control as far as steering was concerned. If this had happened while on the freeway, the results may have been catastrophic, not only to me, but to other drivers around me as well. Will take it directly to ford to see what they have to say about this situation.
The vehicle is equipped with a speed sensative variable assist power steering, as the vehicle speed increases the steering mechanism tightens up and making it difficult to turn the steering wheel, this causes the driver to pay more attention to the steering.nlm
