“The ball joint so my 1995 Lincoln Town Car have fell off the lower controller arm is badly damaged and I get a lot of misfires in the engine is just a lot of stuff this wrong with it”
NHTSA complaint #11091498, filed 2018-05, 2,010 miles“Faulty brake lines, rusted sections, leaking loss of braking while driving. I checked the brake lines, I found the 2 brake lines going to the rear of the car severely rusted, leaking sections. (photo enclosed) a line adjacent to the brake lines looks new, no rust at all! Everything else under the car, including parts that normally rust like the muffler, tail pipe, etc. Are in great shape. It is obvious to me that the brake lines used in this particular year of the Lincoln are faulty,( a material defect)! …”
NHTSA complaint #10029140, filed 2003-07, 95,000 miles“Intermittently when applying the brake at low speed of 20 MPH or less, it caused the vehicle to shimmy and extended stopping distance occurred. The vehicle has been to the dealer on several occasions. The dealer replaced the ABS senor module & cleaned the ABS sensor however the problem continued. Please provide any further information.”
NHTSA complaint #10092256, filed 2004-09, 15,000 miles“The rear brake lines have rusted all the way through. There is a recall for this particular vehicle. The manufacturer is aware of the problem, but informed the consumer that his VIN was not on the list. The brake lines on both side failed at the same time due to the routing of the lines along the frame. The consumer believes this system is poorly designed.”
NHTSA complaint #10044431, filed 2003-12, 80,000 miles“The front rotors were replaced twice, and there was still a problem with the braking system not working effectively. On the second occasion the brake light had come on and the consumer was told that the brake lines had rusted. The manufacturer declined on covering the repairs. Referenced in rq03-004”
