WARNING!!! PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE SUMMARY BEFORE YOU CONSIDER BIDDING ON THIS VEHICLE!!!!!!! I'm selling my 1992 Ford Crown Victoria LX I recently purchased due to it needing major engine and frame work that I have neither the time or money to invest in it and believe it should be parted out! The vehicle does run and drive but sometimes wants to stall out after a warm start and idles roughly, sometimes very roughly when warmed up. There also seems to be a strong smell of gasoline under the hood and under the vehicle plus there is some residual gasoline coming out of the tailpipe when the car is started cold. I've been told it could be bad fuel injectors and/or bad camshafts since the 92 models had issues with loose cam lobes. I have replaced the following items: spark plugs and wires, fuel filter, oil and filter change, MAF sensor, TPS sensor, IAC valve, air filter, and PCV valve, plus the AC was converted to R134A by the previous owner and does blow cold but takes a few minutes. I have stopped driving it due to this and am strongly recommending the vehicle be towed to its new home. Also the frame is severely rusted with a portion of the front frame behind the passenger front wheel rusted almost completely through. I've included pics of the rust underneath, which is extensive and very bad. That's why I am also recommending that the car be parted out instead of fixed because the rust is too extensive and very thick and the engine problems may be cost prohibitive. The air bag light and ABS light are both on due to some faults in their system. I disabled the airbag system (removed the wiring from the clockspring) and unplugged the front crash sensors. I also removed the ABS controller due to it being faulty. I STRONGLY DO NOT RECOMMEND DRIVING THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE SEVERE PROBLEMS WITH THE FRAME AND MOTOR! The winning bidder is responsible for picking up the vehicle or to have the vehicle shipped to their home. I have a low reserve price set also; message me on ebay if you would like to know the reserve price. Please read this summary BEFORE you bid and if there are any questions please by all means ask!!!

Ford Q1 profits dragged down by warranty costs
Fri, 25 Apr 2014General Motors isn't the only Detroit automaker posting falling profits in the first quarter. Ford just released its Q1 2014 financial data, and it reported a net income of $989 million, down $622 million from Q1 2013. The drop is partially blamed on higher warranty and recall expenses than the company had anticipated.
Financially, Ford suffered a rough quarter almost across the board. Its pre-tax profit of $1.4 billion was also down $765 million from a year ago. Things were even worse in the North American market where operating profit fell significantly to $1.5 billion, down from $2.392 billion in Q1 2013. However, its global revenue ticked up slightly to $35.9 billion, from $35.6 billion in this period in 2013.
Ford admitted that it spent about $900 million on expenses that it hadn't planned for during this quarter. According to Reuters, the company paid about $400 million in additional warranty and recall costs in North America. The automaker didn't explain why the costs were so much higher than expected. However, in the last three months, Ford has had several recalls, including on the 2001-2004 Escape for rust, Explorer for its steering, Edge for its fuel line and others.
Ford recalls 90,736 vehicles due to engine valve issue
Sun, Sep 1 2024Ford will recall 90,736 vehicles as engine intake valves in the vehicles may break while driving, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Saturday. The recall impacts certain 2021-2022 Bronco, F-150, Edge, Explorer, Lincoln Nautilus, and Lincoln Aviator vehicles equipped with either a 2.7L or 3.0L Nano EcoBoost engine, the NHTSA said. According to documents posted by NHTSA and sourced from the automaker, "The engine intake valves may break while driving, which can result in engine failure and a loss of drive power." Following an investigation that started in January, 2022, Ford found 22 instances where "the engine intake valves fractured and fell into the combustion chamber of the engine causing catastrophic engine damage." The automaker's analysis continues: "Ford identified that the potential root cause of the failures was engine intake valve failure due to valves that exceeded the designed specification for hardness, were brittle, and more likely to fracture. Ford determined that this was due to the supplier’s grinding processes and the sensitivity of the intake valve material to grinding processes that were not within control specifications. The intake valve material was changed for vehicles produced after October 31, 2021." Fixing the problem will require replacement of the entire engine. "Dealers will inspect each vehicle to determine its cumulative number of engine cycles. For vehicles that do not meet the engine cycle threshold, dealers will accumulate high revolutions per minute (rpm) engine cycles per a service procedure. Engines will be replaced on vehicles that do not pass the engine cycle accumulation," Ford says.
Reborn Ford Escort could make its way to Europe
Fri, 26 Apr 2013The Ford Escort concept just unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show was created with the Chinese market in mind, but it's got people talking all over the world. Not purely fancy, the point of the Escort concept was to give Chinese buyers a preview of what they could expect to see in a Ford showroom in the near future. If Ford wasn't seriously considering the new Escort for other countries, a report in Auto Express indicates that the concept's reception has changed all that.
No less than the incoming chairman of Ford UK said "it could work in other places," bolstering the comments of "a senior Ford insider" who said the question of bringing the car to Europe to slot in underneath the Focus had been raised. That's a long way from anything of the kind happening, which would require Ford to figure out how to sell it for the right price and not torpedo the company reputation among Euro buyers. In any case, we'd be as intrigued as anyone if an Escort resurrection created the next 'who knew?' market segment of few-frills transportation offered by non-Asian carmakers.
