NHTSA Complaint #10764734 — 2003 FORD CROWN VICTORIA

2003 CROWN VICTORIA 57000 MILES. MY CROWN VICTORIA WAS MANUFACTURED AT THE ST THOMAS ASSEMBLY PLANT DURING TIME FRAME IN QUESTION IN REGARDS TO RECALL NUMBER 04S16. AT 57000 MILES IT DEVELOPED A NOTICEABLE NOISE AND VIBRATION EMANATING FROM THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. UPON INSPECTION THE AXLES WERE SHOWN TO BE WORN SEVERELY. FORD HAS RECALLED "ONLY POLICE AND FLEET" CROWN VICTORIA DUE TO THERE "SEVERE" USE AND HAS DEEMED ALL OTHER MODELS BUILT ON THE SAME ASSEMBLY LINE, WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE PARTS UNWORTHY OF ATTENTION. THIS IS A BLATANT DISREGARD FOR CONSUMER SAFETY, THE THE GENERAL PUBLIC. THE PARTS ARE KNOWN, AND HAVE SHOWN TO BE DEFECTIVE IF PLACE UNDER HEAVY LOAD. THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO ALL CROWN VICTORIA MODELS, NOT JUST P70,P71,P72 AS THEY ALL USE THE SAME EXACT AXLE SHAFT.
