Engine Stall problems of the 1996 Lincoln Town Car

Two problems related to engine stall have been reported for the 1996 Lincoln Town Car. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Engine Stall problem

Failure Date: 12/03/1999

The engine will randomly stall, has stalled in intersections two times inducing near loss of steering control. I was able to restart after a number of tries. On 10-21-99 I had a mechanic check it out, change filters, clean injectors. The engine still has the random stall feature. Today, when I drove the car home, it died in my driveway. I let it cool down. Restarted it and continued to stall and die as I tried to back out my drive. **note**I notice your database has other stall reports---the loss of steering control and the random failures seems dangerous. Please check this out immediately. I'll notify my dealer and also congress & the us senate to find out whether NHTSA has or should have already acted on this possible serious problem.
