“Dt: contact states on 7-26-05 1995 Crown Victoria caught on fire. Smoke and fire came from the hazard switch and the directional signal switches. On 1-16-04 signals would not work so she had a multi-functional switch put on. The covering on the steering column were destroyed and all of the wiring inside had to be replaced. The fire department. Was not called.”
NHTSA complaint #10133305, filed 2005-08, 86,499 miles“Horn is not loud enough and the horn buton is to small and hard to find when needed. In 1996 I noticed the button was changed by Ford,so they knew it was a problem too. I think it should be replaced with a 1996 stering wheel or horn buttom assembly and the horn needs to be much louder.”
NHTSA complaint #747609, filed 2001-06“The front suspension ball joints were replaced at my cost. They had started squeaking and were worn badly. My mechanic suggests that the entire front suspension be rebuilt for safety because Ford does not have grease joints on any these parts. When the horn button was pushed for longer than a few seconds, it used to blow the fuse. The last time it did this, it also disabled the cruise control. I was told by my mechanic the only fix was to replace the steering column where these wires were shorting together internally.”
NHTSA complaint #763354, filed 2002-06“The contact owns a 1995 Ford Crown Victoria. The contact stated that while driving 65 MPH with the cruise control activated, the cruise control failed.
