What owners report
My significant other and I were in an accident on the interstate. The airbags deployed and the seat belts failed to lock in place.
The contact owns a 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis. The contact stated that the vehicle had a leaking intake manifold. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and diagnosed that the intake manifold needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were made aware of the failure but informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.
MY HEADLIGHTS, HAZARDS, AND TURN SIGNALS ALL JUST RANDOMLY WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING. THEY HAVE NOT COME BACK ON SINCE. AFTER READING FORUMS I BELIEVE IT TO BE THE LCM BUT MY YEAR MODEL IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE DATES BACK FARTHER THAN 2000 AND FORD SHOULD STEP UP AND RECALL MORE OF THESE LCM COMPONENTS.
