Four problems related to structure have been reported for the 1998 Lincoln Town Car. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Last year I first noticed that after a hard rain the rear drivers passenger door would have water sloshing around in it. Now the rear passenger side floor board is almost constantly wet. Rain and carwashes make the problem worse but even a big puddle can soak it again.
Winshield gutter, by design, dumps water directly onto firewall where ventilation system plenum is attached, resulting in interior leak.
While the consumer was driving at an undetermined speed, the vehicle stalled. The consumer had the vehicle towed to a dealership and the mechanic determined the problem was due to engine failure. About an inch away on the wheel well, there was a 1/4 hole which allowed saltwater from the left front tire to be sprayed up and caused corrosion to accumulate in the fuse box.
Water leaked into the vehicle, the cause was unknown.
