Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2003 Lincoln Town Car based on all problems reported for the 2003 Town Car.
My vehicle broke down and thus had it towed to a Ford dealership to be fixed. The diagnosis was a cracked engine manifold that leaked coolant all over the top of the engine ruining the cylinders, spark plugs, ignition coils, oil, oil filter and fuse box. The dealership explained to me that because these manifolds are now plastic and no longer metal, they are prone to breaking. The total of the repairs came to over $2000. Upon some research, I discovered that I was not alone in this fiasco. There was a class action suit filed back in 2004-05 against Ford motor company. However, I was told that I did "not qualify because my Lincoln was not a fleet vehicle" seems to be Ford's go to excuse when mass amounts of their cars (town car, crown victoria, grand marquis) are recalled. Received no compensation help from Ford or the lawsuit.
Intermittent vibration/noise/rumble, mostly at low speeds - 0 to 40 mph from either engine compartment or underneath.
