| The inner fender protection is completely inadequate, allowing road salt to completely cover the entire engine and wiring. the suspension, master cyclinder, fuel injection, and other parts are coated completely. this could cause deteriorationg and failure of the engine possibly leading to an accident. this has been reported to ford, acknowledging that this is happening, but refusing to fix the situation. they stated if something happens my compliant is on file for future reference. in the 5,000 miles i've put on the car i have washed the engine compartment down 4 times to prevent corrosion or failure. your help in this matter would be appreciated and could prevent an accident due to a mechanical failure in the future. | |||

| Both my husband and i complained when our crown victoria was new and onward about the front doors were opened to exit the vehicle not holding open and snapping back on the driver or passenger trying to exit the vehicle. ford did nothing about this, and ignored this problem. even when we took our vehicle in for service, we told the attendant about this problem and still nothing was done to solve this problem. when someone puts there foot out to exit a vehicle, they don't expect the door to snap back onto them. i've had my leg clipped numerous times, besides my ear and head when the door doesn't hold open. i think ford should have done something about this early on, instead of denying the problem until the warranty was out of date. we told ford about the problem doors even on the new owners requested review of our new auto. this problem has continued from the first time we purchased this 1999 cv on to this present day. ford, what say you!!! *nm | |||
