Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have 3 mercury grand marquis, 1997, 1996, & 1992. within the last 14 months, 5 of the 12 window regulators have failed. all vehicles have been garage kept for the most. no unusual or excessive usage to any of these windows. 1992-has ~162k miles-had 2 window regulators fail-driver & front passenger side 1996-has ~33k miles-had 1 window regulator fail-driver door 1997-has ~62k miles-had 2 window regulators fail-driver door & rear driver side two of these windows (1997) have been repaired by a local ford dealer at approx $190.00 each. this is a very poor record (42% failure rate) for these parts and i believe there must be a manufacturing defect and some mediation should be considered. *jb
