2006 Lincoln Town CAR Other or unknown Problems

“Unexpected engine run away. On multiple occasions the engine has gone to max RPM as the car is being shifted into gear. Only the fact that I had my foot firmly on the brake pedal kept the car from moving. The brakes kept the front wheels locked but the rear wheel or wheels were able to spin. The vehicle has been stationary every time this has occurred. The date below is just for one time. This has occurred approximately 8 times since I bought the vehicle on july 17, 2018.”

“My 2006 Lincoln Town Car only has 45,000 miles on it and is kept in a garage. The first incident was with my family on vacation in south dakota.

Mileage is 170,100. Also, the passenger side floorboard, especial in backseat become saturated when it rains. …”
