2005 Mercury Grand Marquis Body and structure Problems

“Started vehicle to move it in my driveway. Put it in drive and throttle stuck open and vehicle slammed my garage corner. Tried putting it in park and it went into reverse (brake override did not work) instead and crossed street, went across neighbors landscaping stones and slammed into the house next door's front porch at which time the ignition shut down and the car came to a stop. Many thousands of dollars in damages to all three homes.”

“Hood was open while checking oil etc. It suddenly fell down on me without warning, have cut on my right eyebrow it could have been very serious if I was in another position. Was in my garage and no wind was cause probably weak struts. Have not yet check it out.”

Unfortunately, a second later, my car ran over a small boulder on the side on the road causing a damage (small cracks) at the bottom right hand side of my bumper. Nevertheless, I put the emergency lights on until I returned home right away. Earlier this week, I used the car again without any lights issues. However a day later, the issue returned again. …”

“On sept. 27, 2009, I was driving down the highway when I saw what I thought was a leaf on my windshield. I later stopped and noticed that a 5 diameter section on the hood and a 3' by 8-10 section on my roof had peeled off. I went back to the dealership and the body shop foreman admitted it was a factory defect but after talking to ford was told ford would not cover it as it was out of warranty. It is a 2005 Mercury marquis and it only has 71000 miles on it.”
