DEADLY FLAW! Showing Up on The Crown Victoria EVERYONE Needs to Know About!

[@geraldseely2203]

I worked for a taxi company we put about three million miles a year on Crown Vic’s. We did replace many of the shafts you are talking about but you had plenty of notice it was going bad because the steering would stiffen up so much it was hard to drive. Never once did they ever lose steering completely

[@FoundonthestreetUSA]

I didn't have any warning and I had the recall repair too

[@shafiqxl]

Damn, 3 million annually!

[@valkyriesurvives5109]

​@@shafiqxlif this was sarcasm I'll clarify for you, 3 million per year combined across all the vics in the fleet

[@geraldscott4302]

I have been working on Crown Vics since they first came out, for a large municipal government fleet services department. Never seen anything like this. I live in Phoenix, AZ. Nothing rusts here. I have a 2006 Grand Marquis that I bought 11 years ago, with 97,000 miles on it. It now has 381,000 miles on it, and still runs like new. There have been a few problems (rear air suspension, drivers door window regulator, blend door actuator, alternator, serpentine belt tensioner, and a couple of other minor issues. The transmission has never failed, nor has the intake manifold. These failures happen a lot more on P71 models. Not only do they get abused, but their much lower axle ratio causes them to wear out faster. I recently bought a like new 2007 Grand Marquis from the original owner, which came with a stack of service receipts, and only 36,000 miles. Yep, 36,000, not 136,000. Basically a brand new car. I maintain all my cars a lot better than the epa written service manual says to, and I inspect them on a regular basis. The steering shafts on both my Grand Marquis are fine.

[@Vile-Flesh]

Nice find on your '07 Grand Marquis. I got a 2011 Grand Marquis last summer with 76,000 miles. I knew the owner who passed away and I bought it from his daughters. I will keep that car forever. I think Grand Marquis is the better way to go instead of getting an ex-cop car.

[@nick0164]

@@Vile-Fleshyeah after i got my 2010 cvpi i wished i got a grand marquis😂i bought it last year in june with 92k miles. i didnt know how to check idle hours, so a month after i bought the car i find out it has 5500🤦🏽‍♂️so far ive replaced the intake man, front sway bar links, rear shocks, driveshaft u-joints, drivers window regulator, and the rear drivers side window switch. but it has zero rust so im happy😭

[@CrashBack7]

I bought a 2011 p7b 2 years ago for $1,550 from auction. It now has a little over 70,000 miles and has and had when I got it over 7,000 idle hours. I haven't put much into it since and it's been good to me. Shamu did just fail inspection though for code p0128. I'm going to change her thermostat.

[@Happy69694]

A wise man once told me if you plan to keep a car forever plan on replacing everything it . Parts get old as well The crown Vic is classic on it own. Alot of GMT 400-800 trucks have had that issue as well.

[@geraldscott4302]

The Crown Vic/Grand Marquis/Lincoln Town Car are 400,000 mile+ cars with VERY few parts needing to be replaced before that. Just maintain them properly. I change my oil every three thousand miles, transmission fluid (the 5 quarts you can get out) every 9,000 miles, the transmission fluid, filter, differential oil, and coolant every 27,000 miles. I have aftermarket transmission pans with drain plugs. I also change the air filter (stock) once a year.

[@danielstadden1149]

​@@geraldscott4302I do all of that plus change the coolant, break fluid and THE POWER STEERING FLUID

[@zzoinks]

​@@geraldscott4302I'm surprised how frequently you change the transmission fluid

[@geraldscott4302]

@@zzoinks Remember, that's only changing 5 quarts, out of a total of 13+ quarts that are trapped in the transmission. If you are under the car to change the oil, it only takes a few more minutes to change 5 quarts of transmission fluid at the same time when your transmission pan has a drain plug. Doing it often helps keep the transmission fluid fresh. It's a LOT cheaper than a new transmission. These days most people wouldn't even consider replacing a transmission, they would scrap the vehicle and get another one. The problem is that we have reached the end of the line when it comes to continuing to buy newer vehicles. They no longer make vehicles that are worth buying. Keeping old ones going is the only option left. Maintenance and repair are the keys to making an old car last a really long time.

[@vintagefancollector1436]

This was actually recalled. I have a recall notice for it. And it apparently is mostly applied in rust belt states. I am not sure if this could result in fatal accidents always, but it definitely is a huge problem. Scary stuff still. Thank you for the video, spreading awareness to this issue. I bought a rust belt panther recently and luckily the recall was fixed with a brand new shaft.

[@FoundonthestreetUSA]

I had the recall repair, but my shaft blew apart several years later, despite the repair

[@yung-megafone]

I was about to say, although I replaced mine from seemingly normal wear and tear, when I was navigating alldata and the Ford FSM for these vehicles there are a couple TSBs regarding steering shaft separation. Great cars but they are machines and machines do have issues

[@ismann9148]

99% of the cars have already been checked for the recall though. Many of them were simply inspected and if the bearing was seated at the time, they took no action. Eventually, it starts sliding out and Ford will refuse to fix it then.

[@gordythecreator]

Currently rebuilding my e36 & e46, but replacing the PLASTICS with METAL.

[@wilfredohernandez6518]

I love my grand marquis regardless of some of these flaws, most already addressed by recalls. Thanks for posting these videos for the few late adopters (or die harders?) like me. My 2010 Marquis just reached 90k miles and keeps running like a champ.

[@sandasturner9529]

Oh it's gonna keep running. Ya might end up selling it before it dies.

[@geraldscott4302]

90,000 miles is nothing for a Grand Marquis, especially an '03 or newer. It should easily last past 400,000 miles if properly taken care of and maintained. Obviously anybody who lives in areas where they put salt on the road is not going to get that kind of mileage out of ANY vehicle. I've seen 5 year old trucks broken in half due to rusted out frames.

[@George-yh3zy]

My aunt used to care for a woman who was paralyzed when the steering gave out on the Ford that her husband was driving. He was killed in the ensuing accident.

[@ihatefsi]

Ford sucks lol. Always having issues and being cheap/greedy.

[@obliterablecardioid3617]

My "Ticking time bomb transmission" just got It's first proper transmission fluid change since It came off the assembly line. The yellow indicator plug was still there and the filter was dated for 2002. My 2003 Town Car has over 360,000 miles.

[@michaeltutty1540]

The time bomb is simple to prevent. The rubber grommet holding the CV cable to the throttle mechanism deteriorates. There is a brass replacement. Done before it fails, the transmissions can last a very long time indeed. Simple fix to this is to go for one of the Box Panthers. They seem immune to these major issues. Just have to replace the steering box every 30 years or 200,000 miles. One of the rare cars with the 351W will out run any of the 4.6 litre cars as well as achieving significantly better fuel economy. The 4.6 uses as much fuel as my 78 Thunderbirds did and they had the 351M (5.8 litre Modified Block) with 3 speed automatic transmissions.

[@danielstadden1149]

They recommend not doing that if you haven't kept up on the maintenance.

[@mugen5204]

Might have had BG flush done, it is a fluid swap without removing the pan so the plug would still be in the pan. My fomoco reman had it in the pan when I did the J-mod so the police force did same as the assembly line.

[@juliobalderrama8525]

Yeah let me know because i bet ford is not replacing them for free in 2024.Mines just came apart lucky pulling in my driveway today.

[@richardkluesek4301]

3:30 I had that issue with an '04CVPI that was remedied in 2019 with a recall from Ford, unfortunately I had to pay as a private owner because the warranty cut off was 2005 for fleet cars still in service. The symptom was a vibration in the steering column through the steering wheel while turning. At the time I began following Mr Random Reviews and others in the Panther community on youtube and I recall a report of a Broward County Florida killed in the line of duty in a crash attributed to this flaw. After the job was done I sprayed as much of a can of PB Blaster onto the knuckles on the shaft where ever I could reach any of it through the engine bay. Will do the same on my newly acquired LTC as soon as its rust treated under the carriage.

[@jcanfixall1585]

PB blaster is not grease, it's not designed as a long term lubricant...

[@billmudd9915]

Spray fluid film on the u joints of the shaft every other oil change.

[@ismann9148]

@@jcanfixall1585 You wouldn't want to use grease as it'll collect dirt and destroy the joints quicker. The shaft is easy enough to replace anyway and you can still find some new old stock here and there. Just replaced mine.

[@jcanfixall1585]

@@ismann9148 the reason the lower shaft goes bad is from rust, if you keep it lubricated so it doesn't rust there's no need to replace it!!!

[@helidude3502]

Thank you for the information 👍 These are likely ignored or neglected parts on most any vehicle unless it actually breaks. People will be diligent about oil changes, upgrade or worship the engine, but the boring parts will be forgotten. But everything wears out eventually. A good reminder to inspect everything regularly and don’t just tolerate the operation being sub par. Even the worst designs can avoid failures with inspection, maintenance, and heeding any symptoms that arise.

[@Truckguy2007]

I just bought a 2011 last August. I took it to a Ford dealer. They ran the vin, the recall had never been done. They took care of it right away! No charge!

[@RioZLander]

the Steering Shaft is a long time issue going back to the crown vic forums. also of note 1999-2003 the engines were made in Mexican engine blocks and they had a problem where they would warp later down the line totaling the engine. some members on the forum's got the recall only to be called later on saying parts availability is hard and offered a trade in. this a long and very well known issue since the end of the crown vics production it started popping up. good video to, and important for those who do not know know these things.

[@gagebritton8695]

My Vic have gone through 3 "common" problems already now I got to keep an eye out for the final 2 issue grand finally. My favorites where the blown spark plug and the leaky manifold.

[@cjccgreenman]

Thank you for posting this video! Sadly, I had to sell my beloved CVPI to a friend due to a back injury; but I will make sure that he knows about this as well!

[@DirtyDanMunicipalMan]

You can fix the blue retainer clip with a zip tie. Mine was loose and popped out while I was doing a heater core. It snapped back in place and I used a zip tie to secure it. Zip tie has been in place for over a year with no issues. I’ll post a video about it.

[@fitstoned760]

Did zip tie to the metal bracket and mine just popped out

[@abursaw]

Steering shaft issues ive had included some spraying of the knuckle with pb blaster and turning the steering wheel both directions to get the underside of the knuckle to lube it up. It has helped buuut.. ALSO TO NOTE SINCE IT HAPPENED TO MY MGM: at 3:22 in this video, pause the video and look at the metal piece covering the exhaust header next to the shaft (right below the oil dipstick), the metal can actually rot away from the bolts holding it and cause this flimsy piece to fall onto the shaft and push against it, causing a condition that feels like you lose power steering and you have to fight the wheel to get it back center when turning. Loosen the bolts a smidge and (when cool enough to move or use a pilers) remove the flimsy piece and retighten the bolts.

[@davegallucci9327]

I have the play in the steering wheel! Grand Marquis. Thank you!

[@ESPLTD322]

Yeah mine is a 2010 University of Alabama Campus Police car. I’ve checked the VIN twice on the NHTSA recall notice. It says 0 unresolved recalls, so I guess they were fixed years ago. I bought it in August, 2020.

[@levarnelson154]

Personally went through the faulty intake manifold myself with my 04 grand marquis but other than that its been rolling non stop. I really miss it😢

[@bertroost1675]

My 06 just got a slight whistle at 1150 rpm but goes away after the car warms up. Any ideas? Hole in some hose?

[@FoundonthestreetUSA]

Yup, my shaft blew apart while I was in the fast lane of interstate 84 at 75MPH! Lost all control, but was able to slow the car down, while it conveniently steered by itself from the fast lane to the emergency, during rush hour Friday night traffic. I could have been killed. Bought my Panther new in 2008, drove it 250K until the shaft fell apart, Repair cost were to high to justify saving. The shaft had been fixed once before after the recall.

[@electricblue-i3q]

So with all this being said in the video... How do you address these issues?

[@EvilSSP]

I towed for 7 years and by a WIDE margin the biggest reason I towed these cars was for busted ball joints. Second to that in terms off actual breakdowns were transmission issues, and then the common reason was flat tires (you'd be shocked how many people are driving around without spare tires). Also for Town Cars you just knew that every time you got called out to tow one, regardless off the reason for the tow, the back air shocks were dead and you had to work your ass off to keep the ass end from dragging going up on the flatbed.

[@wmff15]

Appreciate the heads up on this my friend, definitely going to give mine a thorough look over now 🧐

[@kevinsworkshop8182]

Just happened to me yesterday. 2010 Interceptor. Already had the shaft and retainer done on the recall years ago before I owned it. Retainer in column failed, shaft slid down from column, "rag" joint contacted the wiring plug that goes to the accelerator pedal and caused steering to lock up because it could not rotate. It nearly sent me into on coming traffic. I immediately yanked the steering wheel hard and forced it to turn back, sending plastic chunks to the floor board and was able to steer back. I"m so glad it happened to me while I was driving alone; and not to my wife and kids. She may not have had the strength to force it back. What a stupid design. A little rust and some plastic should not be a cause for steering loss. There are vehicles from nearly a century ago in junk yards and back pastures rusted to hell with trees growing up through them, that can still eff'n steer.

[@drjohnsonhungwell5115]

I had that happen to my 96 cvpi twice and then I put a u bolt around the shaft inside the car and hasn't came off since

I still have the broken piece in with my scrap metal.
