| Defect Summary | On certain police interceptors (cvpi) and commercial heavy duty (taxi) vehicles, at extremely high operating temperatures, the sound insulating panel, located under the vehicle positioned between the exhaust system and the underbody, could sag and possibly contact the surface of the catalytic converter. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | If this occurs, the insulator might experience charring of the outer layer, burning odor, or smoke which may ultimately result in a fire. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will remove the existing dash insulator and install a revised design insulator pad free of charge. the recall began on june 3, 2005. owners may contact ford at 1-800-392-3673. | |||||||||||||||

| Defect Summary | On certain police vehicles equipped with steel wheels, some of the wheels may develop cracks in the rim near the weld line that connects the rim to the disk. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | The cracks can ultimately result in rapid air loss from the tire and could affect vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will inspect and replace the four road wheels and spare wheel based on the wheel part number. the recall began on march 15, 2007. owners should contact ford at 1-800-343-5338. | |||||||||||||||

| During a september 23, 2004 meeting and in subsequent discussions in november, ford advised the office of defects investigation (odi) of their plans to introduce an improved steel wheel for manufacturing and service component use on the subject vehicles, indicating this would occur in december 2004.the new wheel design incorporates an additional manufacturing process (shot peening) which lowers tensile stress in the surface layer of the rim material adjacent to the circumferential weld. theoretically this should improve rim durability by reducing fatigue crack initiation sites.indications from ford | ||||||

| Fracture (cracking) of the subject vehicle (sv) wheel, which was previously investigated under preliminary evaluation pe03-009 (safety recall 03v-279), occurs in the model year (my) 2003 to 2005 police interceptor vehicles only; civilian specification and other my vehicles are unaffected by this condition.for the affected subject wheels, a fatigue crack occurs in the heat affected zone of the rim material adjacent to the circumferential weld that attaches the rim to the outboard wheel disc.the crack initiates under the outboard tire bead near the heel (where air leakage cannot be assured) and subsequently grows circumferentially through cyclic bending as the wheels rolls.although the vast majority of rim cracks either presented no symptoms or were detected safely via recurring slow air leakage, odi identified 6 incidents where rapid air leakage leading to a full or partial deflation of the tire was alleged.for these wheels, evidence indicated that multiple cracks had formed in different areas of the rim and subsequently grown together.two of the incidents resulted in a crash, one during a high speed pursuit.although the minority of cases, ford | ||||||

| Driving a 2005 crown victoria in the early am (it was dark) on a city street without street lights. the headlights went off. stopped the car immediately. turned lights off and back on. all lights except the headlights worked. experimented with the light switch and turn signal lever. discovered the brights worked when pulling the lever (manual operation of the brights). after about three minutes the headlights turned themselves back on. took the car to a ford dealership. told them what had happened. they reported later in the day that nothing could be found that was wrong. i googled the problem and was overwhelmed with hits. when i got the car after work i asked the service manager if anyone else had encountered the same problem. at first he was reluctant but after informing him i had googled the problem and had discovered that it had happened to others. at that point he did tell me that they had other customers complaining of the same (or similar) problem. to correct it i would have to replace the lcm (light control module). which costs $511.00 plus labor and tax. (i did not do it at that time) this is a very serious problem. if i had not been as calm as i was an accident could have verily easily occurred. there has been no recall on this vehicle/part. why not? | |||

| Headlight control modules on ford crown victoria police cars. lights go out while driving down the road at night. we have had approximately 15 of these fail in our area which only involves 4 police agencies. we have had 2 unexplained fatalities in ford crown victoria police interceptors which occurred at night while running lights and sirens. the lights go out and an engineer in canada told me to push on the box located above the gas pedal with my foot. while doing this the lights came back on. take foot off they go out. ford will not reconize this as a problem and will not warranty this even though the car only had 30000 miles on it and 3yrs 2 months old. cost us $690.00 for repairs | |||

| The headlights will go off when you are driving down the road. to get them to come back on i have to kick the lcm (lighting control module). it is a recurring problem that happens at least once daily, sometimes more. this is a problem that happens to several other police cruisers in the county. *tr | |||

| I had rented a brand new 2005, ford crown victoria. as i was traveling down the highway at 74 mph with cruise control on i noticed that the engine hood was vibrating excessively. i pulled over, pulled the hood latch release cable and opened the hood. the hood latch release was ready to fall off. one bolt was missing and the other bold was ready to fall out. had the bolt fallen out, the hood would have flown open. i hand tightened the remaining bolt and shut the hood. because the latch would move when i shut the hood, i was only able to latch it on the secondary latch. i slowly drove back to the rental agency and returned the car. *ak | |||

| Wakemed police department own several crown victoria police interceptor vehicles. two of the vehicles, my 2005, have developed worn areas (and subsequent holes) on the right front brake hose leading to the brake caliper. these defects were discovered after the vehicles lost power brake assist in heavy traffic during patrol operations. the other three brake lines on each vehicle show no evidence of any such wear. while it does not appear that there are any components in direct contact with the brake line, it seems as if the likely point of contact is the front right lower control arm. *tr | |||

| On a 2005 ford cvpi, operator accelerated. when she hit the brake to slow, the vehicle continued to accelerate. she released the brake, ensuring that she had her entire foot off and away from both pedals, and attempted to brake again. the vehicle continued to accelerate. only after standing on the brake with two feet, did the accelerator release. had the vehicle continued to accelerate another 100 yards, she would have lost control on a sharp curve and crashed. *nm | |||

| 2005 ford cvpi - our municipal police agency owns a fleet of approximately 150 cvpi's that have rusting rims. the problem begins with the finish seemingly disappearing with clean metal visible that eventually rusts over. the local dealer reports no recalls associated with this problem. was curious to know if this is a common occurrence and what safety issue this may pose if the rims continue to rust? *jb | |||
