Six problems related to brake electric antilock have been reported for the 1997 Lincoln Town Car. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
While driving between 10 and 15 mph on wet pavement and making a turn, vehicle made a "clunking" noise, and abs system locked up, causing vehicle to pull to the right and go off the road. There were no other vehicles involved in this incident, and there were no injuries. Dealership examined vehicle, and stated that abs system had no problems, and this was considered to be normal operation. Please provide any additional information/attachments. The windshield gasket is splitting on the right side of the glass, the front door wont open at times with the remote, the front edge of the vinyl top is coming loose. Nlm.
Total loss of steering and brakes.
Heavy brake pulsation required 5 complete brake jobs in 30000 mi, pulsation develops within 3000 mi after each repair. Appeals to president linc-Mercury either go unanswered or brushed off with "that's normal" for Lincolns, the pulsations cause me even to hestitate to apply the brakes, so it is very dangerous.
When applying the brakes, the steering wheel vibrates badly. This condition is worse when it is raining. The dealer not able to correct the problem. Please describe details.
When applying the abs brakes the pedal goes 1 inch to the floor, causing extended stopping distance. Dealer cannot identify any problem. Please give any further details.
