In owners' words
What Grand Marquis owners report
Recent service brakes, hydraulic complaints filed with NHTSA, shortened. Personal details are removed.
DT: THE BRAKE LINES WERE ROTTING. THE CONSUMER NOTICED THIS ON APRIL 21, 2004. VEHICLE LOST BRAKE FUNCTION WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENED ON DRY PAVEMENT. THERE WAS NO WARNING AND NO NOISE. DID NOT CONTACT THE DEALER, BUT HAD IT REPAIRED AT A LOCAL AUTOMOTIVE SHOP. *NM
BRAKE DRUM HAS EXCESSIVE BUILD UP OF RUST WHICH MAKES IT EXTREMELY HARD TO GET BRAKE DRUM OFF FOR MACHINING; CAUSES BRAKE PEDAL PULSATION. TT
THE REAR BRAKES ARE CORRODED AND THEY DO NOT WORK AND THE FRONT ONES ARE WORN OUT. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY WILL CHARGE HIM FOR THE WORK. TT
