Engine And Engine Cooling Problems of Lincoln Town Car - part 2

Intake on motor was made of plastic and it cracked. The replacement was redesigned with aluminum front in place of plastic. If part was designed right why was replacement made with aluminum. The cost of the part was over 550. 00 plus labor and other parts.

The contact owns a 1991 Lincoln Town Car. The contact stated that while driving various speeds, the vehicle suddenly accelerated and the contact crashed. There were no injuries. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 27,000. The VIN was unknown.

Car has a problen in the steering box. Took it to a specialist and Ford discounted it. They sent a Lincoln rep down and he just lied to me about the problem said it was a factory flaw and could not fix , then I took the car into the dealer for a pinging and they said they couldn't hear it (nothing was done)then later on a trip it went haywire sounded like a big diesel truck on the highway and ran like crap , sucking gas also, then changed dealers and they said they coulden't find a ping . I grabed me a mechanic and we took a little ride and before I could get it back it was pinging (took them 3 weeks to fix with me coming up almost daily to test it, and nobody can adjust the head lights on the car that is bad its idiot proof.

We purchased two new towncars from germain linc. -merc. , naples, FL, in 1999 and 2000 my car's,VIN lnhm81woxy706952, 1999 Town Car, and my wife's 2000 Town Car, VIN 1lnhm81w8yy880866. My first complaint is regarding my car that developed electronic problems right after it ran out of warranty, and needed a $500 repair. A week later, it developed a leak, and was repaired at $1000. Is this planned obsolecence? this was at 56,000 miles of use. Shouldn't the dealer check basic systems and make sure they are well maintained? my wife's towncar has a far more serious and hazardous history. She, along with our grandsons, experienced a tire blowout at 33,000 miles. After the tire was changed to the spare, she drove to the dealer and was told that both rear tires should be replaced for safety. She agreed. When she picked up the car, all 4 tires (!)had been replaced at the cost of $548. There was no price adustment for any of the 4 tires removed. On 12-23-02 (3 days later) she reported to the dealer that the brakes were noisy (squeaked). When she got the car, the bill for the brakes was $420. When driving our 2 daughters and 2 grandsons the following day, the brakes did not hold, and she was unable to stop at a red light, nearly hitting the car in front of her. Only by forced pumping with both feet, and swerving into the turn lane, did she avoid a crash. Had cars been coming in that turn lane, any number of people, particularly in our family, could have been killed. Shouldn't the customer "advisor" advise a minor brake-pad replacement rather than wait for a major expensive/dangerous problem? we strongly doubt that we would consider another Ford product. This is a short history of 2 regularly-dealer-maintined luxury cars.
