I have had to replace wheel bearing and axle every few months because of premature wear and causing driving to be a safety concern. Once it wears thin, the car shakes and wobbles and the tire almost snapped off twice.

Been trying for about a year to get this safety recall called 4 local Ford dealer ships first one said my cars to old they won’t fix the safety recall other don’t give call back I can hear like vibrating in the back where this recall would fix it hopfully it don’t break on me.

While accelerating approximate @ 30 mph, vehicle speed increased without assistance nearly plummeting into a body of water at a curve. . . Exit 77 on I-95s MD. The car could not handled the curve at that rate of speed. Town car had to be thrown into neutral and hard press brake pedal in order to stop. Safety issue could have been major accident or my death. I do not desire to reproduce a dangerous scenario with an accelerating vehicle. Dealership and private mechanic refused to reproduce incident. Zero warning lamps and nothing in computer to determine a problem/fix.

The rear right wheel bearing was replaced less than 2 years ago and is already bad again. This specific make and model and year of car has been recalled for the bearing issues that this car has, and this car was produced in the exact plant that the recall involves. However, the recall manufacture date ends on December 31, 2002 and this car's manufacture date is February 2003. The car has the bad parts that have been recalled and it needs to be addressed.

Looking through the list of complaints this has been reported to many times to be ignored. I counted 38 times by page 15, not even half way through the list. I have a 2003 Lincoln Town Car and is been having some issues with the driver side axle and bearings, I am getting ready to replace the shaft, bearing and seal for the third time in a period of three years. Like some other customers I found that my car is not included on the recall, but it looks like that problem is a lot more frequent than it is supposed to be. This is a problem and alot of people have reported it under the "suspension" category.

Makes loud popping noise when the wheel is turned to the extreme right or left whether the car is being driven or standing still. Occasionally, the ignition won't turn on and the steering wheel is locked, closing the entire system.

I have a 2003 Lincoln Town Car and is been having some issues with the passenger side axel, I am getting ready to replace the shaft, bearing and seal for the third time in a period of maybe four years, I'm sorry, but don't remember exactly when it was, but last time was lest than 16 months ago, on the last two there was oil leaking all around the wheel, this time there is still no oil leak but is making that kind of humming noise, and when lifted the car you can move the wheel up and down, now I'm just waiting for the parts to do the job again. Like some other customers I found that my car is not included on the recall, but it looks like that problem is a lot more frequent than is suppose to, and I has found that some people had reported it under the "suspension" category. Thanks god! nothing had happen, because I got it on time, but it won't take me by surprise that some one out there wasn't so lucky. Like I said before I found the problem when walking around the car with the exemption of this time that I heard the noise when driving on the expressway.

I put the car in reverse to backup. Then, with my foot on the brake, I place the car into drive goes forward. It continues forward for about a car length before it stops. The car has done this on several occasions. I fear for my life.

After being parked in parking lot - engine turned off, no radio playing, etc. We started the vehcle up, backed up, braked, put in drive and accelerated at which time the vehicle immediately accelerated out of control. Brakes would not stop the car. The car continued to accelerate faster and faster. We ran over a couple of islands, pulled fire hydrant out of the ground, ran into a wall, vehicle continued to accelerate and it seered from the wall, accelerating faster we knocked 6 parked cars out of the way like they were boxes all the while braking to no avail vehicle continuing to accelerate faster headed across the parking lot toward a chain link fence we threw the gear shift into park about the same time we hit the fence. The vehicle balked and came to stop in about 50 feet in an ajacent parking lot on the other side of the fence ripping about 50 feet of the fence with it. Front end demolished, radiator steaming, engine still running, ripped undecarriage flattened tires from rims. Totalled the car. And air bags did not deploy. Only injuries were bruises and sprains and emotional problems. Praise god. 2 adults and 3 children were in the car. I know the car malfunctioned and Lincoln has a responsibilty to the public to investigate, determine cause & correct. Look at the insurance report investigative report. They tell me it cost too much to investigate the cause since there were no severe injuries, . There are many similar incidents on the internet and some not so fortunate. There is a safety issue here and the public has the right to have these accidents investigated. The truma of being in an out of control vehicle is devestating and Lincoln has a public liability to make that determination to save future lives. 2 adults and 3 children are still emotionally disturbed about this. Are also similar incidents wtih other Ford products. Please respond.

I own a 2006 Lincoln Town Car, purchased new. Approximately once or twice per year the vehicle will try to accelerate as I am braking for a red light or a stop sign. Placing transmission into neutral position seems to result in engine slowing down. Taken to Lincoln-Mercury dealership in 3/07 and 4/10. They can not duplicate the problem and they state that they can not explain what is causing this.

Noisy rear end on my Lincoln towncar (2003). There was a recall by the manufacturer to replace rear axels & bearings on 2003 towncars with certain VIN #s (recall # 04v328000) my car had exactly the same failure as mentioned in the recall and I feel that the company should pay or the repair. I only have 39,840 miles pon the car. The problem was corrected by the dealer and I had to pay a portion of the charge. I feel the repair work should have been done nc under the recall, whether the VIN was on it or not, the failure is the same.

Whenever driving at any speed, the speedometer showed less speed than vehicle was actually doing. It was going go 70mph, but speedometer showed 50mph. Took to dealer at least twice. Mechanic said speedometer meets all factory specs. Manufacturer agreed w/dealership. Had vehicle tested by outside mechanic.

Driver can not see speedometer when entering areas of shade when wearing sunglasses on a sunny day. Nlm.
