“We have had multiple problems with the electronic climate control system on this vehicle. The tie rods wore out at 70k miles (unusual since most of the miles are on flat interstate highway). The engine since about 25k miles has had a consistant knocking sound that the dealer indicates is common to all crown victorias, but provides no solution. I have not been contacted by the dealer woody anderson Ford regarding any of three recalls on this vehicle that I see on your website.”
