1991 Mercury Grand Marquis LS review from North America
"Super Car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alternator most recently.
The battery was replaced also at the same time.
My father in-law replaced the entire A/C.
System before he gave us the car.
Muffler and tailpipe also.
General comments?
My father in-law left the car to us when he passed away. It had been very well taken care of, and has low mileage for the year. Everything about this car I love. The more I drive it the better it gets. The alternator went out the first day we had it, easiest I have ever replaced, cheap too. The only problems I have experienced are a slight shifting /finding right gear at 40 MPH. Also the only other thing that really bugs me is when in a turn with any speed at all the tires start squealing. The 215/70/15 seem way to small for this car.I'm thinking of switching to a late model stock 16" steel wheel and police size 225/70/16. if anyone knows the fix to these problems please contact me at russelljohnson@alltel.net.
