RepairPal Reliability Ratings are based on the actual cost, frequency, and severity of unscheduled repairs and maintenance on make/model data for select 2008-2022 vehicles. The reliability of a specific vehicle may vary depending on its maintenance and driving history, model year, trim, and features.
Cost
The average total annual cost for unscheduled repairs and maintenance across all model years of the Ford Crown Victoria from 2008-2022.
$441/yr
vs. $474/yr for Average Fullsize Car
Frequency
The average number of times this model is brought into the shop for unscheduled repairs and maintenance in a single year. RepairPal calculates this metric by tracking millions of unique vehicles over multiple years to determine an average number of visits per year (omitting small routine visits, e.g., oil changes).
0.63x/yr
vs. 0.97x/yr for Average Fullsize Car
Severity
The probability that a repair will be a major issue, meaning the repair costs 3x the average annual repair cost for all models. This threshold will be higher for vehicles that have higher labor rates and parts costs (such as a premium brand).
13.3%
vs. 13.4% for Average Fullsize Car

2011 Ford Crown Victoria LX Fleet 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
**FINAL UPDATE**
Traded in the car in August (around 110,000 miles) after years of virtually trouble free driving. The A/C was starting to get weak, so instead of pulling the dash, I bought a Grand Cherokee. Around 5 months down the road and I very much wish that I had kept the Crown Vic as it was a more comfortable and better driving vehicle. Oh well, live and learn.
**UPDATE**
Now … at 109,000 miles. COVID has cut back on any driving. Noticed some paint peeling around the gas cap. Had that area repainted. Cost was minimal. Otherwise, no issues with the car.
**UPDATE**
Now at 105,500 miles
Had my first real failure at 97,000 miles. The alternator failed. Replaced alternator, serpentine belt and pulley.
Replaced shocks with some heavy duty shocks. Car handles and rides better.
Seeing 12-14 mpg city and 22-24 highway.
I have a lead foot, so I am rather pleased with the gas mileage.
After years of owning this car I have grown annoyed with 2 things.
The cup holder just plain stinks.
The Traction Control system is pretty useless. Really wish my car had limited slip. I find myself turning off traction control every time I get in the car. Might have a shop add LSD in the future.
My wife keeps asking me why I don’t get something newer. I just like this car.
Simple and cheap to work on.
Can be a hoot to drive if you have the skill.
Can hold a family of 4 and all of their luggage without issue.
Very reliable.
Little to no electronic junk (lcd screens, navigation etc)
**UPDATE**
Now at 82,000 miles.
The suspension is showing signs that the shocks need to be replaced. Not surprising as this is a heavy car and I drive it like a sports car.
No other issues.
This is one heck of a car.
**UPDATE**
Now at 77,000 miles.
the only issue that I have had is that the drivers floor mat is wearing quit a bit. May need to replace it this year.
Really, that is the only issue with the car.
Totally reliable.
Replaced the factory radio and speakers. What an improvement!!
Averaging 15-16 mpg with 70% city driving and a lead foot. On road trips, I can easily get 24-25 mpg I am happy with this as my wife's 2015 Buick Enclave gets 13 city, struggles to get 21 highway and is far less comfortable that my Crown Vic.
I bought my 2011 Crown Victoria used with 35,000 miles on it about 3 years ago.
The car now has 65,000 miles on it and the only items that have needed attention are 4 new tires and a new battery.
Regular oil changes with synthetic oil every 6,000 miles.
People complain about how plain the car is, especially the interior.
I must say that I enjoy this.
No built in navigation system that breaks (very expensive fix) or requires purchase of updates (again, expensive).
No built in control of everything system (see Ford Connect). If you have used the current Ford Connect system, Acura Navigation system or BMW iDrive system, then you know just how terrible they are and how very expensive they are to fix when they stop working (and they will).
The seats are comfortable, the car handles very well (for a vehicle of its size), the A/C is fantastic and it is a fantastic open road car.
My driving is 75% city/ 20% highway. The car handles very well in the city. The car rides fairly firm at low speeds and is a bit more floaty at speed.
I drive the car rather hard and get 15 MPG city and 24 MPG highway. Not bad for a heavy V8 whose driver has a lead foot.
The Good:
Little electronic integration.
Few 'high end' gadgets to break (and fix)
very simple mechanically
very inexpensive to fix
good ride in town and on interstate
comfortable seats
very powerful HVAC
gets around just fine in snow WITH snow tires
The Bad:
The cup holders are a very sick joke
The auto HVAC system can be annoying to use (can be difficult to find the 'right' temperature)
The radio is..um..not good. An aftermarket unit would be a good investment.
The tow rating is kind of low for a vehicle of this size
While the 4.6 V8 is a nice unit, something bigger would have been nice
like most RWD vehicles, the car can be tail happy in rain/snow -- but this can add to the fun if you know how to drive
I am very happy with this car.
I have seen Crown Victoria cabs in NY with over 1 million miles on them.
This bodes well for me keeping this car for the next 10 years.

2008 Ford Crown Victoria LX Fleet 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
The Crown Victoria is an iconic car. For long road trips and four trips around town this car has no competition. The Crown Victoria handles like a dream, it accelerates quickly into merging traffic on the freeway, it's a joy drive. It was a disappointment to see Ford just continue this car in 2011. I don't think that there will be another vehicle as reliable, as comfortable, or as … cheap to operate As a Crown Victoria. There will be many on the road for the years to come because this powertrain has a long life. Parts are easy to obtain and repairs are relatively cheap and straightforward.

2011 Ford Crown Victoria LX Fleet 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
If you can find one with low miles that was never a police vehicle, this is a great vehicle. Leather interior with powerful V8 engine, power locks, seats, great climate control system snd a smoooooth ride. The silver set swears by these big cars for a reason. The power and comfort just can't be matched by anything standard these days. Drawback: low gas mileage
Almost 3 tons of fun

2010 Ford Crown Victoria LX Fleet 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
This car is large yet nimble and the performance police interceptor is fun to drive. got no problems passing people on the freeway, this is where she likes to stretch those legs. The cost for repairs is pretty cheap for a 2010 which I haven't had to do other then the blower motor easy to work on. To much to list about why I am happy with this car all I have to say is full frame and rear … wheel drive, what else could you ask for.
