The Center for Auto Safety
Not since the Ford Pinto has America seen a passenger car fuel tank defect like the Ford Crown Victoria. Based on the limited available public data for 1994-2000, the Center for Auto Safety (CAS) has identified 30 burn deaths in 70 fatal fire crashes in the 1992-2001 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car.
Dallas Crash Tests Show Crown Victoria
Johnson said the most alarming findings surfaced in a crash test that replicated a Crown Victoria crash test conducted by Ford last August. This particular test featured use of a trunk pack, while the earlier Ford test did not. Ford claimed its August 2002 crash test proved a Crown Victoria police car equipped with an “optional upgrade kit” that shielded suspension components could successfully withstand a 75 mph rear impact without sustaining fuel tank punctures. The Dallas crash tests were conducted at the nominal speed of 75 mph using a Taurus bullet vehicle impacting a Crown Victoria fitted with Ford’s optional upgrade shields. In each test, the impact was biased to the left side of the CVPI with a 50 percent overlap and the fuel tank was filled to 95 percent capacity.

Research a New Car - 2004 Ford Crown Victoria New Car Test Drive
Ford substantially updated the Crown Victoria for 2003. A stiffer chassis provided front frame sections designed to better absorb crash energy. Handling precision was improved, thanks to more precise rack-and-pinion steering and an extensive redesign of the front and rear suspensions. For 2004, Ford has made changes to the transmission for better acceleration, and re-thought the layout of the optional overhead console. It requires a conservative taste in automobiles to appreciate the Ford Crown Victoria's appearance and a very critical taste to dislike it. The Crown Vic is big, mostly bland but also oddly admirable in its haughty restraint. If your only experience with a Crown Victoria has been riding in a taxicab, careening through city streets, you've been misled. Truth is, the Crown Vic's driving personality is far more sedate. While some cars vie for your down payment by touting driver involvement, the big Ford goes the other way, trumpeting maximum driver isolation.
