1992 Mercury Grand Marquis Steering Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the steering system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Steering reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION WORKED ON 3 DIFFERENT TIMES. THE THIRD TIME THEY PUT IN A NEW TRANSMISSION. WHICH I HAD TO PAY FOR. THE PAINT IS PEELING OFF AND LEAVING BIG BARE SPOTS. I HAVE HAD MY RIGHT BACK DOOR WORKED ON SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE THE LOCKS WOULDN'T OPEN AND THE WINDOWS WOULD NOT ROLL DOWN RIGHT NOW MY RIGHT REAR WINDOW AND MY LEFT FRONT WINDOW WILL NOT ROLL DOWN!!! MY CAR HESITATES AND JUMPS WHEN I AM GOING ABOUT 20-40 MILES PER HOUR, AND WHEN I HIT 50-60 MPH MY STEERING WHEEL STARTS TO VIBRATE. MY BRAKES SQUEAK BUT WE DON'T SEE NOTHING WRONG. I HAVE PUT ABOUT $3500 INTO THIS CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT, AND I AM REALLY SICK OF MESSING WITH IT.
