I was driving home on a dark country road with my granddaughter in the back who is 3 1/2. Had the high beams on. Lost headlights, dash lights, tail and brake lights. If it wasn't for knowing the road and no other vehicle was around would have caused a bad wreck. There are a lot of lakes and hills around where i drive.hit the breaks an came to a stop flipped the headlight switch a couple of times and changed to dim lights and everything came back on. This has happened before and it is only when the high beams are on. If this would of happened on a highway or with other vehicles around hate to think of what would happen. Ford says there is no recall on this problem. It has happened a few times but with the part being over 600.00 and then paying someone to put it in. I can't afford to do anything.

2000 mercury grand marquis ls vin [xxx].while driving at 55 mphthe car stalled and couldn't be started until pulled over to the side of the road.when towed and repaired at the mercury garage, the only cause was a defective #8 cylinder coil/plug assembly.i believe this is a very dangerous condition.i found out later that ford has a service bulletin out for coil/plug failures.a couple of weeks before this the #7 coil/plug assembly shorted out but it did not cause the car to shut down.i believe ford should recall 2000 mercurys and replace all 8 of the coil/plug assemblies.i bought the car new.it was my 3rdgrand marquis and my last.i traded the car as a result of the #8 coil/plug failure .you may give ford this information.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Air leak in intake manifoldor egror pcm system cylinder 3 misfire dirty fuel injection
While replacing the thermostat, a crack developed in the plastic crossover channel in the plastic intake manifold allowing the engine coolant to leak when the thermostat opened. Ford knows this to be defective and has replaced the all plastic manifold with an aluminum crossover for the coolant. The vehicle has 71,290 miles.
I believe this issue effects millions of ford and mercury vehicles, many of which are taxi, government, and police cars. Apparently, the computer (pcm) that controls the engine can shut the engine down while the vehicle is driving when certain sensors fail (at least 2 known sensors per my research). I found this out at 65 mph, 2 hours from home. I was told by the dealer that there are no new pcms made for my 2000 car, and that i had to rely on a rebuilt after market pcm. The aftermarket seller related that these computers last approximately 10 years. Even if i replace this part, i believe this effectively makes my (and any such) car a risk to drive, as most rebuilt auto parts are created by simply replacing any failed components out of the many components in the assembly of the part, and leaving others still old and worn. When would the other parts fail, and if the car is operating is a high risk unknown. On top of the fact that this creates a spectacular hazard to motorists, i don't think that's fair to consumers. I can demonstrate what this car does, and go over the oem factory manuals where they cite "replace the pcm".also, why do these sensors fail to a very unsafe condition, have no logic check (such as testing other sensors to see if they concur before an engine shut down) and why can't they be disconnected to allow the engine to keep working till you can get to the repair?
The contact owns a 2000 mercury grand marquis. The contact stated that the thermostat was leaking. The thermostat was replaced however, the intake manifold failed and fell into the thermostat after the replacement. Additionally, there was a leak in the sensor coolant temperature sensor area which was repaired with a sealing solution and the thermostat was replaced because the plastic inside the intake manifold was deteriorated. The defect was not repaired or diagnosed. The current mileage was 170,000. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
The intake manifold is crack
A spark was blown out of the cylinder head.the problem occurred 3 times (2010, 2014, 2014), each time a different cylinder. One of these times, it occurred to my wife 140 km away from home. I had to guess that it was a blown spark plug and instructed her to drive the car to toronto in this condition. Concern: aside from the costly repair, i am afraid to use the car on a long trip for fear that this will happen at a place where a repair is not available.i suspect that the ford company has modified the engine along the way, considering the fact that on a previous model i had owned for a long time (1993 grand marquis), the problem had never occurred.

Air control valve failure. This item not covered by my 90,000 mile warranty.

2000 mercury grand marquis engine shut down causing consumer to lose power brakes and steering.

It's a lemon, straight out of the factory!!would like my money back or a new car! no safety defect listed.
After a human error when changing vehicle oil , oil started leaking from engine. No indicator lights at any time, causing engine to lock up. Please providen further information.
Car started running hot all of a sudden..found out the intake manifold was cracked and the coolant was leaking on spark plugs and fuel injectors. Causing the car to misfire and slow to pick up speed. Tried to get fixed but was told the exp. Date was in 07.so i have to pay out of pocket..i feel a recall shouldn't have an expiration date cause it tells you that one of these days the part on the car is going to need to be fixed. I feel ford should live up to their word and fix the problem no cost to customer...
The contact owns a 2000 mercury grand marquis. The contact stated that the vehicle overheated while driving 35 mph. The contact noticed fluid leaking from underneath the vehicle.

The mechanic replaced the intake manifold. The failure mileage was 132, 208.updated 05/29/13*lj updated 06/13/2013
The intake manifold developed cracks. As a result, the engine coolant leaked onto the coils that connect to the spark plugs, causing the vehicle to shake and skip cylinders.
The cars started missing and running rough even after having a complete tune-up and after about week later it started all over and was taken into the mercury dealership that found that the intake manifold was cracked and had to be replaced at our expense, which we just received a letter in the mail regarding a class-action lawsuit against ford for the same problem. I do believe that this needs to be followed up and ford needs to refund all expenses due to the customers. Please check into this situation, we also have a friend who has had the same problem and had to have his replaced.thank you
