2 occasions where ball joint snapped and vehicle was moving and fell to ground . While my child was inside . Major electrical issues such odometer flashes constantly and gas gage wacked out ever since vehicle fell to ground every thing was working properly before and on the first incident is when it started and continues to get worse. Suspension and steering : also since car fell to ground has cause steering and suspension to be almost impossible . I have had several mechanics rip me off and have spent thousands on trying to get vehicle back to the way a Lincoln should drive . And still the results are not good. I cant drive on express ways because vehicle is extremely hard to control and stay in lanes . As well on side streets/main roads . It also has a very high tendency to loose control when driving over a small , medium or large bump, div-it or crack in road which could or will eventually result in a crash. By all means I love my 1999 Lincoln but certainly does not drive or operate properly like one should . I do also understand that its a 13 year old car and things will go wrong but after do my research and being that I am naive and very uneducated with mechanics on a vehicle I simply let this pass for sometime now to realize these re occurring incidents are not normal and here I am now my results are a damaged car with recall supported and thousands of my hard income to replace parts on car to get back to proper working order . Something should be done or if possible be settled in the middle/halfway which would be fair. I hope I can be a true Ford Lincoln supporter/buyer for ever and don't want to be disappointed.

While driving my 1996 signature series Town Car about 25 mis/hr in residential area the right front ball joint suspension collapsed & "rolled" under the car frame. The slow speed enabled the car to be stopped within feet. Driver & a passenger unhurt. Car towed to aaa certified garage that had been used for over 25 years. Suspension replaced as was the left one that mechanic deemed ready to also collapse. Resident municipality literally surrounded by expressways whose speed limit is 65 mis/hr. Deaths and or severe injuries would most certainly have resulted had collapse occurred while driving at allowed speed limit as this driver does. The car had 92551 carefully driven miles on it. Car always garaged and meticulously maintained by owner, dealer and the mechanic used . Worse that did happen was the almost $500 bill & being late for an annual conference being held at nearby university.

While pulling out of driveway at 2-3 mph consumer heard a noise, stopped vehicle, and noticed tie rod end were dragging on the ground on the right side of vehicle. Dealer stated tie rods had disconnected. Also, the ball joints were not lubricated and rusted. Both tie rods were replaced.
