the lower bearing separates, the vehicle may experience a loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash. Improper servicing of the upper intermediate shaft could cause the shaft to separate, which can then result in a loss of steering control, and increasing the risk of a crash

This is a serious safety hazard that could result in death or injury. If I hadn’t escaped in time, I would have been killed. I am urging the NHTSA to investigate this defect and take immediate action to remove these vehicles from the road. Others may not be as lucky. This issue is life-threatening, especially because the fire started while the vehicle was in motion. These vehicles must be recalled and removed from use before more people are injured or killed.

Almost had accidents because lights failed, headlights and taillights failed at night, including dash lights today, creating safety hazard. Seat tilt failed, and body mount frame bushing failed. Mirror tilt switch failed. Fuel filler neck leaks when filled. Very scary especially at night. Please recall and fix before we get hurt.

For sometime now the Headlights on my 2002 Mercury Grand Marquis appear to fade or dim soon after turning them on; giving the impression they are losing power and about to fail. I live in the mountains and am very familiar with each and every turn I See on the roads I travel. You See that Is The Matter of Fact- If My Headlights Failed; I Would Not See The Turn Possibly A Fatal Fact.

Headlights began not working intermittently, and now do not go on, but high beams still work without issue. Seems very similar to recall 15s39, which was repaired on my vehicle in 2015, but became an issue again about a month ago. The car has only accrued about 10,000 since it was last repaired.

I BELIEVE THERE IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE WITH MANY OF THE FORD MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS FROM MULTIPLE YEARS OF MODELS. IT TOOK ONLY MINIMAL EFFORT TO FIND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AS I DO WITH CARS OF THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL REGARDING THE FRONT WHEEL ASSEMBLY BEING HAZARDOUS AND ULTIMATELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. MY PERSONAL ISSUE IS A VERY NOTICEABLE CLANKING/THUDDING COMING FROM MOSTLY THE DRIVER SIDE FRONT TIRE AND THE ASSEMBLY USED TO CONTROL AND SECURE THE TIRE. MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS APPEARED AS RESULTS ON GOOGLE AFTER ATTEMPTING TO SEARCH SOLUTIONS AND ANSWERS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I FOUND MORE THAN ONE ACCOUNT OF PEOPLE LOSING FRONT TIRES WHILE DRIVING AND EVEN COMING TO A STOP TO PARK. I BELIEVE THERE IS A MASSIVE SAFETY CONCERN HERE WITH SO MANY IDENTICAL ACCOUNTS ON THE SAME ISSUE. I FOR ONE RELY ON MY PERSONAL VEHICLE GREATLY AND TRULY THINK THE COMPANY SHOULD BE FORCED TO COME UP WITH A LEGITIMATE SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. LIVE ARE AT RISK HERE AND I FOR ONE THINK THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN INTO SERIOUS CONSIDERATION. I CONTINUED TO SEARCH FOR A SOLUTION BUT COULD NOT FIND ANY VIABLE CONSIDERATIONS ON THE INTERNET. ALL ACCOUNTS LEAD TO THE FRONT DRIVE ASSEMBLY BEING SIMPLY DEFECTIVE AND CAN NOT BE PREVENTED OR PERMANENTLY REPAIRED IN MOST CASES. THE COMPANY MUST BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. THEY SHOULD BE IN CHARGE OF REDESIGNING AND REPLACING THE FRONT STEERING ASSEMBLY ON ALL CARS STILL AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE AND MADE LIABLE FOR ALL EXPENSES OF REPLACEMENT.
