1987 Ford Crown Victoria ltd review from North America
"I think these cars are great cars, but have this kind of problem quite often"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The front doors do not lock.
The Glove box latch broke.
Replaced power steering hose.
Sometimes the car dies suddenly and then is unpredictable when it will start again.
General comments?
I bought the car from my grandmother. She loved her Crown Victoria and kept very good care of this car.
I had the car for one week and started to experience trouble. The car would drive down the road and the motor would quit running. Then the car would not restart. It was very unpredictable.
I took the car to a mechanic. The mechanic replaced the fuel pump. That did not help. Then the mechanic replaced the electronic ignition module. This did not fix the problem either. So I asked the mechanic for my my money back and was fortunate to get a refund for his work The car still has this problem. I have been told it may be the catalytic converter.
