Faults:

On the first engine the thermostat failed and fried and burned it up.

The second engine the oil pump came a part and it seized up.

The third engine didn't have a chance to prove itself the car caught on fire from a faulty cruse control I received a recall on. I took it in had it fixed and it still caught on fire and Ford denied any help. It was there FAULT..

General Comments:

I liked the car bad, but Ford was a nightmare to work with.

Faults:

The AC system has to be refilled, no signs of leakage though. There's a rattling noise coming from the rear brakes, might be lose brake pads.

Sometimes the warning lights in the instrumentation panel light up, but disappear after a short time.

Speedometer needle stops at 50 mp/h indication, have to find out if it's only a new cable or a new speedo unit.

General Comments:

This has been my dream car for the last few years. I love the "Handling&Performance"-Package. Engine has been rebuild by one of the cars previous owners, so it runs very good considering its high mileage. Transmission also works flawless.

All power options are operating.

Doesn't consume any oil or water.

I'm turning it into a "New York State Police"-unit 'cause I'm a member of a Police car owners club here in Germany.

Average fuel consumption (1/2 driven around town) is 19/20 mpg.

On the other side I'm surprised that the interior room despite the vehicles 212" overall length is actually smaller then my 186" Ford Scorpio's.

Faults:

Air Conditioner no longer works.

The drivers side back seat lock doesn't work.

The Air Bag Light contently flashes as if there is something wrong with the drivers air bag.

The Drivers power window motor had to be replaced.

The Power Antenna doesn't work.

The glove box will not open.

The car chugs very badly.

A high pitched whistle comes from the muffler.

2 of the "Premium Sound" speakers have gone out.

The air conditioning switches are ready to fall off.

The interior trunk release doesn't work.

General Comments:

This isn't a very good car. Whenever you drive it you have to drive with both hands on the wheel or else you will be all over the road.

The interior is roomy and quite luxurious.

Horrible to drive on hot days. The air conditioner never gets cool!

Faults:

Celluloid went last year, when you turned the key it didn't crank at all - fixed.

Fuel pump was replaced 3 years ago and now it can be very loud (normal on most Crown Victoria's when the fuel pump is replaced)

A/C recharged last year.

At one point in time, the car wouldn't start unless you pushed the gas petal all the way to the floor - fixed.

Blue smoke coming out of the tail-pipe: needed new valve seals.

Electric Driver side door lock does not work at all.

Little light that illuminates behind the radio frequency lights very rarely.

General Comments:

This is got to be the best car that Ford has ever built. It is very comfortable and very very quiet for a 1992. It's had just a few major problems and now it runs like brand new. My Crown Vic is also garage kept so it's in a really good condition. One portion of the left tail light just went and I just replaced it, but for those tail lights to last 11 years is really really good. Acceleration is excellent. But you got to check the oil at least once every two weeks because since the car is old it tends to burn oil sometimes.

This car really moves. The fun part about this car is everyone thinks it's a cop car. It is very reliable and I would definitly by another Crown Victoria. But as of now, the 1992 is running great and I'll probably get another 5 years out of it.
