Re: Why doesn't 2008 Mercury Grand Marquis have a steering wheel lock?
This was done away with for the 2005 and higher models because the car cannot be started without the special key FOB (security chip in the key). The purpose of the steering wheel lock was theft deterrent and since the key now provides the deterrent Ford felt the steering wheel lock was redundant and no longer necessary.
Also notice the passenger side front door no longer has a key lock either. This was removed to save cost and is irrelevant with the use of the remote door opener anyway.
What I would like to see in the future is an all door unlock feature whenever the driver's front door is unlocked. I've cursed so many times because I have to either press the unlock button twice from the inside or twice on the remote opener to open any door other than the driver's front door.
