This wagon has not been driven regularly this year and is need of some engine work.   Right now it looks better than it runs.  Brakes are very sensitive and need to be adjusted or checked.  The exhaust pipe behind the muffler needs to be replaced.  The engine runs very rough at idle but runs pretty smooth once you start driving.   It needs a major tune-up and fluid change but it always starts up when you turn the key.  Remember this has the 5.0 engine so it’s easy to work on and parts are plentiful.  Looks very retro like wagons from the 60s Country Squires and Colony Parks but has all the modern technology for a dependable cruiser.  One repaint looks very nice.  Some rust and rust bubbles popping up here and there but nothing major.  The woodgrain stickers on the side still look pretty good but are worn in spots have come off in a few also.   The interior is amazing for the mileage of the wagon, dash looks great, the leather seats looks amazing and are very comfortable.  Door panels and headliner look great too.  Carpet is original and is worn in a few spots but still looks nice.   The wagon has passed MA inspection in 2013 but has not been to inspection this year.  The wagon is older than 25 years it is eligible for classic car insurance and QQ classic license plates in NJ which means no inspection and can cost less than $200 per year to insure with zero deductible.    Clear Massachusetts title ready to go. Please inspect this car before bidding so there are no surprises or disappointments.  This wagon is sold as-is.

NHTSA probing 2000-2003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable models over throttle issue

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

A potential issue with the speed control cable collar has got the 2003-20003 Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable under the spotlight of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. If the collar breaks it can cause the throttle to be stuck open.
The issue is limited to vehicles with the 3.0-liter V6 Duratec. There are just 50 complaints so far out of 310,000 cars, but the NHTSA has begun an investigation into whether a recall should be issued.

NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder

Fri, 11 Jul 2014

There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.

Preposed class-action lawsuit targets 'defective' MyFord Touch

Tue, 16 Jul 2013

A national law firm, Hagens Berman Sobol Shapiro LLP, has filed a proposed class action lawsuit whose presupposition is that MyFord Touch is defective. Specifically, the complaint states that the system - as well as the MyLincoln Touch and MyMercury Touch clones - often freeze, fail to respond to voice or touch commands and have issues connecting to mobile phones.
According to Hagens Berman managing partner Steve Berman, MyFord Touch is a theoretically "brilliant idea" that falls short in actual execution. Said Berman in a press release, "In reality, the system is fundamentally flawed, failing to reliably provide functionality, amounting to an inconvenience at best, and a serious safety issue at worst."
Other MFT issues enumerated within the 41-page filing include problems controlling the window defroster, rear-view camera and navigation system. The suit maintains that Ford is aware of the problem but has yet to submit a workable and acceptable solution to MFT customers. Scroll down if you'd like to read the full press release.
