MY 2006 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS LS PREMIUM CAR HAS AN UNRESOLVED STALLING ISSUE. THE PROBLEM IS EXACERBATED WHEN THE CAR'S ENGINE WARMS UP, ESPECIALLY DURING WARMER WEATHER. IT TENDS TO STALL OUT AT EXTENDED STOPLIGHTS OR IF THE VEHICLE NEEDS TO BE STOPPED WITHIN A SHORT DISTANCE. MY CAR FIRST BEGAN STALLING AFTER I HAD IT WASHED IN GASOLINE STATION'S AUTOMATIC CAR WASH. SHORTLY AFTER IT WAS WASHED, THE ENGINE BEGAN RUNNING EXTREMELY ROUGH AND THEN FINALLY STALLED OUT WITH THE 'ENGINE' LIGHT ON YELLOW LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD. THE FIRST TWO MASTER MECHANICS OF TWO DIFFERENT REPAIR FACILITIES SUGGESTED THAT THE ENGINE'S PCM WAS BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT A FORD DEALERSHIP. I TOOK MY CAR TO A THIRD REPAIR FACILITY AND THE MECHANIC SWAPPED OUT A USED PCM FOR A 4.6 L APPLICATION AND REPROGRAMMED IT FOR FORD'S MOST RECENTLY ISSUED SOFTWARE UPDATE. THE CAR CONTINUES TO STALL AFTER THE USED PCM WAS REPROGRAMMED AND THE MECHANIC CONCLUDED THAT HE WAS SURE THAT THE STALLING PROBLEM IS NOT RELATED TO THE ENGINE'S PCM! I'VE PAID APPROXIMATELY $874.00 AMONG THREE DIFFERENT AUTOMOBILE REPAIR FACILITIES AND ALL MASTER MECHANICS AMONG THESE THREE GARAGES COULD NOT PINPOINT WHY MY VEHICLE IS STALLING. FINALLY, A MASTER MECHANIC OF A VOLUNTEER CHURCH GARAGE ALSO COULD NOT PINPOINT WHY MY CAR CONTINUES TO STALL AND HE SUGGESTS THAT THE ONLY FIX IS TO SELL MY CAR. WHEN I CALLED A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO SEE HOW THEY WOULD TRY TO FIX IT, THE SERVICE MANAGER EXPLAINED THAT THEY WOULD TRY TO REPLICATE THE CONDITIONS THAT MADE IT STALL IN THE FIRST PLACE. I EXPLAINED THAT THIS METHOD WAS TRIED BY ALL THREE REPAIR FACILITIES, ALL TO NO AVAIL, AND THAT I AM NOT INTERESTED IN PAYING ADDITIONAL FEES FOR FUTURE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS THAT CANNOT PINPOINT THE FAILURE. TO PREVENT STALLING AT STOPLIGHTS, I NEED TO USE BOTH THE GAS AND BRAKE PEDALS AT STOP LIGHTS!

START ENGINE, AIR BAG LIGHT ON DASH ILLUMINATES, BEEP ALARM SOUNDS FOR A SERIES OF FIVE BEEPS FOLLOWED BY 1 SECOND OF SILENCE, AND REPEATS FOR FIVE REPETITIONS OF THE SAME. LIGHT REMAINS ON AND AFTER 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING ON ROAD OPERATION, THE ALARM REPEATS FOR 5 REPETITIONS AS BEFORE. THIS CONTINUES AS LONG AS THE ENGINE IS OPERATED WITHOUT TURNING OFF. WHEN SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED, THE ALARM STARTS ALL OVER FOR THE SERIES OF 5 BEEPS IN 5 REPETITIONS. MY DEALER SAYS THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND WANTS OVER $800.00 FOR A NEW COMPUTER MODULE. I HAVE NO WAY TO DOCUMENT COMPLAINT OR DEALER RESPONSE.

ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2015 I PURCHASED A USED 2006 MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS LS. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON. I SUBSEQUENTLY FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN SOME MINOR DAMAGE TO THE LOWER FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, NOT RESULTING IN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. IN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM AND TO DETERMINE IF THERE HAD BEEN AN AIRBAG RECALL BY THE NHTSA, I FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN 57 REGISTERED COMPLAINTS ON THE REPAIR PAL WEBSITE AND THAT A COMPLAINT HAD ALSO BEEN FILED WITH THE NHTSA.FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A RESULT OF DEFECTIVE SEAT-BELT ASSEMBLIES. THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM AS IT EFFECTS THE PROPER FUNCTIONALITY OF THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION.
