1996 Mercury Grand Marquis Ls Sedan 4-door 4.6l on 2040-cars
Acworth, Georgia, United States
For Sale is My 1996 Mercury Grand Marquis. I have done most of the work on the vehicle myself. I'm pretty handy, especially with a Haynes Manual (which I will include) and YouTube. I have replaces the: Intake Manifold, all four shock absorbers, plugs and wires 6mo ago, thermostat, main upper radiator hose, Serpentine belt, alternator, and all the normal maintenance parts due to wear and tear. This has been my daily driver since I purchased it used in 2007 or so. I have taken decent mechanical care of it as shown by the 23 MPG's avg. I am currently enjoying. It is now parked waiting for it's next owner. I have a new job 90 miles round trip from my home and I need better gas mileage. So this car must go. Take a look at the pictures and see it is in pretty good shape for an 18 year old car. The defects are as follows: broken front left marker light, small puncture in left rear bumper and left rear tail light. anti-lock brakes need work but brakes work fine, needs front ball joint boot, one rooter needs to be replaced (slightly warped, can't tell until hard breaking), A/C needs modulator, leather seats have tears, headliner tears. needs two window motors (front and rear drivers side). All minor repairs for someone with a little know how. The A/C modulator is a $70 item but the labor for a mechanic is $600. The dash has to be partially removed. I don't want to do this for a car I'm going to sell. It would take me a day to do it (this included breaks to eat take tv breaks and play with my daughter and dog). Good luck and feel free to message me with any questions...

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

NHTSA upgrades Ford floor mat unintended acceleration probe
Mon, 17 Dec 2012According to a Bloomberg report, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has upgraded an investigation into complaints of unintended acceleration lodged against Ford vehicles. The investigation began in June of 2010 when just three complaints had been received and it only concerned the Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan, but this was at a time when the phrase "unintended acceleration" made grown men go pale. With 49 additional complaints received since then, the investigation has been reclassified as an engineering analysis - the last phase before a recall - and it has been expanded to include the Lincoln MKZ, making for a total of "around 480,000" units affected between the three sedans from the 2008 to 2010 model years.
The ostensible cause is that floor mats are trapping the accelerator pedal, but according to a Ford statement at the time, the entrapment is due to owners placing the optional all-weather floor mats, or aftermarket floor mats, on top of the car's standard floor mats. NHTSA has backed up that assessment, pinning the blame on "unsecured or double stacked floor mats."
On the face of it, it would appear that NHTSA has upgraded the status not because of Ford's error, but owner error, and Ford has stated publicly that it is "disappointed" in NHTSA's move. On top of NHTSA still being skittish after that other unintended acceleration debacle, it could be seen to be taking its time investigating all of the variables: it's reported that Ford changed its accelerator pedal design in 2010, a "heel blocker" in the floorpan has been considered a potential culprit in how the floor mats could be trapping the pedal, some drivers have said the floor mats weren't anywhere near the pedal, and according to a report in the LA Times, in "a letter sent by Ford to NHTSA in August 2010, the automaker said it found three injuries and one fatality that 'may have resulted from the alleged defect.'"
