Owner-reported complaints naming the body or structure system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Body & structure 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.

Crash reported1 injury reported
ON DECEMBER 23, 2015 I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS THROUGH AN INTERSECTION IN HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS. I HAD JUST RECEIVED A GREEN LIGHT AND WAS PROCEEDING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT. THE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE WAS SEVERE. THE AT FAULT DRIVER'S INSURANCE COMPANY DECLARED MY VEHICLE A TOTAL LOSS. MY VEHICLE'S AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS WEARING MY SEAT AND SHOULDER BELTS AT THE TIME OF THE COLLISION. I WAS EXAMINED AT A NEARBY EMERGENCY ROOM. THEY SAID "NO SERIOUS INJURY" BUT MY ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON SAID I HAVE A SEPARATION OF MY LEFT SHOULDER.
