Gasoline Fuel System Problems of Lincoln Town Car

I have a 2005 Lincoln Town Car, signature series, that on the same day on two occasions while going slow and lightly braking the car suddenly accelerated. My foot was not anywhere close to the gas pedal. This has never happened before and not in the last two weeks. I went up on the net and found many other people had reported the exact same problem with that exact year and model Lincoln. A number of which went to their local Ford dealer only to find them to say we checked it out thoroughly and found nothing wrong. I expect this could very well happen again and create a very serious accident. I just want to go on record as having reported this incident to as many places as possible so that in the event it causes an accident in the future I have some recourse if they say it was only drivers error. I may send this to ntsb, consumers guide, and insurance safety board and others in hopes of getting some answer other than , could not duplicate problem. Thank you.

The fuel filler will not accept gasoline at a normal rate. Even at minimum speed it will shut off and/or spit fuel back. Have used different pumps, different stations, different positions happens almost 100% of the time. Also major water leakage around windshield on passenger side of car.

Unable to properly pump fuel into the vehicle. Can only put in about 1/2 gallon before the pump shuts off. Sometimes fuel blows back out the filler neck. Call to dealership was told car had developed a fuel venting problem. Appears they know this is common problem and yet no one is notified. Say they will track down the problem for 89. 00 but then I will have to pay fix the problem separately.

Vehicle had large amount of gas leaking from rear passenger tire area, towed to dealer and unable to find any leaks or cause of a leak.

Car stalls both when idling ready to move and turning corners where it loses power steering.

Been smelling fumes in vehicle. Noticed fuel leaked whenever vehicle is parked or going up slight inclines. Took to dealer & mechanic noticed the leak & the fumes.

When driving the vehicle cuts off/stalls. Vehicle has stalled after engine light has illuminated, dealer installed octane booster and vehicle ran fine for a while and then stalled again, consumer states vehicle has ran fine since, however she has not done any mountain driving and this is when it stalled.

Brake pedal feels spongy and makes noise when applied, brakes grab when applied, and vehicle pulls to the right due to faulty brakes. Left front headrest will not go up or down, right frotn headrest tilts when it's moved up. Left outer mirror glass is loose, the mirror retaining clip was broken, dealer replaced glass. Vehicle averages less than 10 miles per gallon in the city and 15 miles per gallon for highway, consumer states that the engine idles too fast, dealer stated that timing could not be adjusted locally because the vehicle had no distributor cap on this model.
