I agree, I do believe Ford wants to do right, and have evidence to that effect, but they seem to make an assumption that they can trust their dealers, which is not always the case. I never have these problems with my particular dealer, but know they go on all over with everybody's dealers. It's hard to manage everyone's attitude.

I had the same problem with my 2000 GM back in July. Local Ford dealer did a complete diag of ignition,fuel delivery, and emission systems. Situation was corrected by cleaning the fuel injectors, and decarbonizing (??) the engine. The car has run beautifully ever since, and the fuel consumption has improved dramatically. I thought the $388 repair bill was a little stiff, but over the last five months (and 10K miles) I have begun to accept it as a reasonable investment. The car now has 65K and runs better than it ever did.
#2156 of 3252 Removal of rear door panel on a94Mercury Marquis by ewolfe1 Jan 02, 2004 (11:43 am)
Vidtech answere my question but I don't know how to remove arm rest and other trim. My problen is the window will not go back up. I tried to pull it up manualy but it a certain spot and will not go further. The motor will run if you put it in the down mode but when you try to raise it nothing happens. If I can get up I will somehow wedge it in the up position since we would rarely raise it up or down. There are only two of in the household andit is her car to drive to work. When we bought the car the previos owner{a friend} told mr not to let it down. He said it will go down about an inch and all you had to do push it up by hand I lowered and now thw problem. Thr car has 84k and is in excelent condition. It belonged to his wife who has passed away and has been well maitained.

#2158 of 3252 How to remove right rear door panel on a1994Mercury Grand Marquis by ewolfe1 Dec 30, 2003 (12:33 pm)
Replying to: pat (Jan 02, 2004 11:49 am) I want to check why my window will not roll up. It is stuck about half way down. I can let it down but when I try to pull it up manualy it hits a certain point and stops. I removed a screw at the bottom of the panel but I don't see any other screws. Should I just pry thepanel off? Replies to this message: vidtech (Dec 31, 2003 4:56 pm) ewolfe1 (Jan 02, 2004 9:24 am)

Replying to: ewolfe1 (Dec 30, 2003 12:33 pm) once you have removed trim pieces and the arm pad the panels usually can be removed by lifting the panel upward.the bottom has hooks so you shouldn't have to pry anything,something will break. Replies to this message: ewolfe1 (Jan 02, 2004 9:24 am)

Replying to: vidtech (Dec 31, 2003 4:56 pm) Vidtech: Thanks for your reply. I looked at the arm rest and other trim but can't figure out how to remove. If you can help me further it will be appreciated.              ewolfe1
#2161 of 3252 re:arm rest by vidtech Jan 03, 2004 (10:36 am)
i have found horizontal items can be pryed upward such as the arm rest.the vertical items have a hook at the top with pins at the bottom.pry the bottom outward then lift the item upward to un hook the trim piece..good luck
#2162 of 3252 Prospective GM buyer by pazak Jan 04, 2004 (8:49 pm)
In June of '04, I will be in the market for a new car and I've got my heart set on a GM Ultimate. I have a few minor reservations about the car and I'm hoping someone here can answer my concerns.     1) Don't laugh, but trunk room is a concern. The G.M. apparently doesn't have a fold down rear seat/pass thru so all my 6'6" fishing rods may be obsolete. I am hoping that I can sort of angle and wedge them. I can almost do that now in my "00 Sable ( Which does have a pass thru ), but I come up about 5 or 6 inches short.   2) What is the true power rating of the upgraded stereo in the G.M. I contacted Ford and they sent me to Visteon. Visteon told me that it was an Alpine system rated at 20 watts per channel ( 4 channels ),but the Marauder has what appears to be the exact same unit and I have seen conflicting ratings between 100 and 140 total watts on that system. I don't understand why Ford wouldn't offer a high quality stereo option on a thirty thousand dollar car. And why is the trunk mounted CD changer a 350 dollar option on the G.M.,and only 185 dollars on the C.V. It is almost as if they didn't want anyone under sixty to buy a G.M.  3) I live in Chicago, so winter conditions are a factor. I have been tooling around in front wheel drive vehicles for the past 17 years so I need somebody to please reassure me that I won't be getting stuck in snow all the time.  4) Lastly, How true are the fuel efficiency ratings? Is 17/25 accurate?. My Sable was rated at 20 mpg city, but actually gets about 17.
