ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
07/02/201017445
 The left turn signals (front, rear & dash) blink faster than the right ones indicating a burnt out bulb even though the left bulbs work. we replaced the front & rear bulbs twice and they worked normal for a short period of time. then they revert to blinking fast. i replaced the bulbs the first time and the dealership service center replaced the bulbs the second time. there must be something wrong in the electrical system. i've noticed this with other grand marquis also.
ENGINE

 My wife was driving around 25 mph and less than one mile from our house. when she applied the brakes to stop at a stop sign the engine revved up. i was riding with her and observed the engine rev to around 2,500 rpm before slowing down. i also observed that her right foot was on the brake and that nothing was touching the accelerator. the cruise control had not been turned on. this was at least the fourth time this year that the engine revved up when the brakes were applied. the dealer could not find the problem and the engine did not rev while the dealer was testing the car. *tr
