We paid cash to Regency Lincoln Mercury in October 2005 for a 2006 Mercury Grand Marquis Ultra. It's now out of business. We also paid cash for the ESP plus extended warranty in which we have the receipt. The premium warranty was said to cover the car bumper to bumper oil changes shocks and even the wind shield wipers like the brochure.
The first thing we had problem with was sudden acceleration. They said I must be pressing the brake and accelerator at the same time. I almost got killed in the car. Now if I have a problem, I shift into neutral. The rear air suspension compressor has always been heard coming on when first started, now it does not. One time, a Lincoln Mercury dealer said that we didn't have the extended warranty and I had to call Ford to verify that we did. Doug Stanley Ford says that the front shocks with the coil springs around them are leaking and struts are covered but shocks are not. We paid $2365 for the premium ESP plus warranty and now Ford doesn't want to honor it. We wanted to buy one of the last Mercury Marquis but Ford doesn't honor its customers.
