WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR ON A HIGHWAY OR STREET ANY TIME IT ENCOUNTERS SMALL BUMPS THE WHEEL TURNS AND THERE'S A LOUD SLAMMING SOUND FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR. IT'S WORSE GOING INTO TURNS SPEED DOES NOT MATTER YOU CAN GO SLOW OR FAST AND THE LOUD SLAMMING SOUND IS THERE. IT FEELS VERY UNSAFE AND DANGEROUS.

WE NEED THIS CAR FOR DOCTORS APPOINTMENTS AND FOOD SHOPPING. WE CANT TRAVEL FAR FOR FEAR OF BEING IN A CRASH OR BEING STRANDED.

ENGINE, SUSPENSION
THE FAN DOES NOT RUN. CAUSED THE INTAKE MANIFOLD TO WARP AND THE MOTOR OIL AND ANTIFREEZE TO BLEED INTO EACHOTHER. EVENTUALLY THE ENGINE WILL CRACK IF ISSUE REMAINS UNADDRESSED. I DID AN ONLINE SEARCH AND FOUND A SAFETY RECALL (#13508) FOR MY 2006 LINCOLN TOWNCAR THAT INVOLVES THE COOLANT ALUMINUM BYPASS STICKING SHUT AND THUS CAUSING THE FAN NOT TO KICK ON. HOWEVER, WHEN I SEARCHED SAFETY RECALLS ON LINCOLN AND FORD'S OFFICIAL WEBSITES NO INFORMATION CAME UP REGARDING THAT PARTICULAR RECALL. PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
