Interior lighting cable burned out.lost floor lights, door lights and map lights
I had checked the tire pressures prior to a road trip and found them at 38 psi. I reset the pressures to the spec of 33 psi.shortly the tire monitor came on and signaled a low tire pressure. I rechecked and they were ok. During my trip the light would keep coming on and i tried to reset the system to no avail. On my return, the power door locks kept malfunctioning. The door key pad would work sometime for both the doors and trunk. The next time they might not. The door switches on both passengers and drivers side would work sometimes.with both the tire pressure system and the door locks acting up and creating a nuisance, i took the car to the ford dealership, two river ford in mount juliet, tn.. The found a shorted wire in the harness going to the drivers side module that coordinates most of the safety systems on the car. There was no fire in my case, however, there could have been. I did receive a bill for $272.30.my concern is that ford apparently does not accept any responsibility for what i consider a safety issue whether it was caused by poor system design on the harness layout or electrical current exceeding the wiring capabilities. Was it caused by excessive movement in the harness or was it current going through the wires as i tried to reset the pressure monitoring system 20-30 times. I am more then interested in knowing how many similar failures ford has had in the grand marquis and the ford crown vic.
On october 21, 2016, while i was driving on i-30 in dallas county, a fire occurred in the daimay-supplied driver-side visor lamp assembly of my 2009 ford mercury grand marquis. The ford fuse system failed, allowing the fire to burn, melting portions of the visor and roof material. The melted material fell on my left leg and the driver seat and floor of the vehicle, causing 2nd and 3rd degree burns to my leg. Chrysler notified nhtsa of a similar defect in the daimay assembly on july 1, 2014, which resulted in the first of two chrysler recalls on july 10, 2014. Ford, however, chose to not recall its vehicles with the daimay visor assembly system, despite receiving notice of similar complaints, claims and incidents before the subject incident. Therefore, i respectfully request that this defect be promptly investigated and that the unsafe system be recalled so that other consumers are not injured.

I noticed something hanging down from the bottom of the vehicle and on inspection determined it to be a fuel tank support strap. I took the vehicle to my mechanic for further inspection and when he put the vehicle on a lift one of the two support straps had corroded completely in two and the other strap was ly corroded nearly as bad. If the second strap had also broken and allowed the fuel tank to drop and drag on the pavement there could have been a severe fire. I had my mechanic replace both straps immediately today 11-2-16.
