ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE
ON 3/20/04, I NOTICED AN UNUSUAL AMOUNT OF AN ENGINE FLUID DRIPPING FROM MY 1996 TOWN CAR AS I BACKED OUT OF MY GARAGE, SO I TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP THAT HAS DONE THE MAJORITY OF THE MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE. THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE PLASTIC INTAKE MANIFOLD WAS CRACKED AND LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY TOLD ME THAT "THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM" WITH THIS ENGINE AND THAT THEY HAD REPAIRED QUITE A LOT OF THEM. *JB

THE FIRE INSPECTOR DETERMINED THE FIRE WAS CAUSED BY A SHORT IN THE WIRING OF THE SPEED CONTROL SWITCH. THE CRUISE CONTROL HAD FAILED TO WORK SEVERAL MONTHS PRIOR TO THE FIRE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. THERE WAS A RECALL NOTICE (99V124000), BUT IT DID NOT INCLUDE THE VEHICLE'S VIN NUMBER.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM
I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM YOU ABOUT A SAFETY PROBLEM WITH CERTAIN LINCOLN TOWN CAR MODELS. I AM THE OWNER OF A 1996 LINCOLN TOWN CAR (SIGNATURE SERIES). ON JUNE 16, 2006, WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN WITH THE AIR CONDITIONING ON, I SAW SMOKE POURING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND ANTIFREEZE LEAKING FROM UNDER THE CAR. AFTER OPENING THE HOOD I SAW ANTIFREEZE ALL OVER THE ENGINE BLOCK. I MANAGED TO DRIVE THE CAR TO A NEARBY JIFFY LUBE. THE TECHNICIAN THERE COULD NOT FIND ANY LEAKS IN THE HOSES OR THE RADIATOR. AFTER ALLOWING THE CAR TO COOL FOR ABOUT THIRTY MINUTES, THE TECHNICIAN FILLED THE RADIATOR WITH A 50-50 ANTIFREEZE-WATER MIXTURE. I STARTED DRIVING HOME, ABOUT FIVE MILES AWAY. BEFORE I ARRIVED, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE REACHED THE MAXIMUM POINT, AND THE HIGH-TEMPERATURE ALARM SOUNDED. I IMMEDIATELY STOPPED THE CAR AND OPENED THE HOOD. AGAIN, I SAW ANTIFREEZE ALL OVER THE ENGINE. WHEN THE CAR HAD COOLED, I CHECKED THE COOLANT LEVEL: IT WAS COMPLETELY DRY! I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL GARAGE, WHERE THE MECHANIC FOUND A TWO-INCH CRACK AT THE REAR OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD! THIS MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT A LARGE NUMBER OF FORD VEHICLES HAD EXPERIENCED A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH INTAKE MANIFOLDS, WHICH WERE FABRICATED FROM PLASTIC, RATHER THAN METAL. HE SAID THAT DOZENS OF NORTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY PATROL CARS (CROWN VICTORIAS EQUIPPED WITH THE SAME 4.6-LITER ENGINE THAT'S IN MY LINCOLN) HAD BEEN RECALLED BECAUSE OF DEFECTIVE INTAKE MANIFOLDS. THIS KIND OF PROBLEM WARRANTS A SAFETY RECALL. IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF A CAR BEING DRIVEN ON AN INTERSTATE WERE TO SUDDENLY LOSE ALL OF ITS COOLANT FROM A LEAKING INTAKE MANIFOLD! IN VIEW OF THE SAFETY HAZARDS A LEAKING INTAKE MANIFOLD CAN (AND DOES) CREATE, I BELIEVE THAT FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR THE COSTS I INCURRED FOR A NEW MANIFOLD AND THE LABOR TO INSTALL IT. (I KEPT THE DEFECTIVE MANIFOLD, IN CASE YOU WANT TO INSPECT IT.) *NM

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:PEDALS AND LINKAGES
I BELIEVE THAT THE CAR IS SO DANGEROUS. I AM NOT WILLING TO LET ANYONE ELSE DRIVE IT. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FOR PROXIMATELY 54 YEARS. THIS HAS INCLUDED ALL KINDS OF CARS INCLUDING RACING SPORTS CARS AND BIG LUXURY CARS AND ALL TYPES OF EMERGENCY VEHICLES (INCLUDING FIRE TRUCKS AND AMBULANCES). I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE PLACEMENT OF THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THIS NEW CAR HAS ADJUSTABLE PEDALS. I DO DRIVE WITH MY HEAL ON THE FLOOR BOARDS AND ROCK MY FOOT BACK AND FORTH FROM THE GAS TO BRAKE TO STOP. I HAD JUST A FEW HUNDRED MILES ON MY NEW CAR AND AT A STOP LIGHT FOUND I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR. I ALMOST RAN INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. FORTUNATELY, I SHIFTED THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BUT NOTICED THE ENGINE WAS RACING WHEN I CAME HOME I ALMOST RAN A STOP SIGN SINCE I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR WITHOUT SHIFTING IT INTO NEUTRAL. AND AFTER FINDING NOTHING WRONG THEY INSTALLED A COMPUTER WITH A BUTTON BY MY SEAT SO THAT IF THAT HAPPENED AGAIN I WOULD PUSH THE BUTTON AND THE COMPUTER WOULD REMEMBER THE LAST TWENTY SECONDS OF WHAT HAPPENED. BUT BY NOW I WAS USED TO THE PROBLEM AND WOULD PUSH THE BUTTON SLOWLY LIFT MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND I NOTICED THAT I WAS PROBABLY PUSHING ON THE ACCELERATORS AT THE SAME TIME I WAS PUSHING ON THE BRAKE. BASICALLY IF I PUSHED REAL HARD ON THE BRAKE MY FOOT WOULD GO DOWN AND PUSH ON THE ACCELERATOR. THIS WAS CONFIRMED BY THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THEY LOOKED AT THE COMPUTER. A CALL TO THE LINCOLN HEADQUARTERS TOOK DOWN ALL THIS INFORMATION FOR FUTURE REFERENCE AND TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO WORK THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP. I HAVE NOTED THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED WITH OTHER DRIVERS OF 2005 TOWN CARS. I HAVE NOTICED IN THE NEWS MORE AND MORE FOLKS WHO HAVE DRIVEN INTO WALLS AND STATED THE CAUSE IS THAT THEY STEPPED ON THE GAS INSTEAD OF THE BRAKE. *JB

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:PEDALS AND LINKAGES
DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, DUE TO THE PLACEMENT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS INTERMITTENTLY PRESSED AS WELL WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO LURCH FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO NOTED THIS WAS A MANUFACTURING DESIGN CHANGE OF THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR PEDALS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALERTED. UPDATED 06/27/06. *JB

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SERVICE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE LINES WERE REPLACED. ALSO, THE HORN IS INOPERABLE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WHEN THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO 2,500 RPMS. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE CAR WITH THE BRAKE AND AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, BUT EVEN AFTER STOPPING THE CAR IT WAS STILL RUNNING AT 2,500 RPMS FOR ANOTHER COUPLE OF SECONDS BEFORE THEN RETURNING TO IDLE AT 500RPM. THIS HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES THAT DAY AND IT'S VERY SCARY TO SAY THE LEAST. EACH TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS BRAKING THE CAR (LUCKILY) AND WAS ABLE TO BRAKE HARDER AND STOP THE CAR. AFTER STOPPING THE CAR THE ENGINE WAS STILL RACING FOR A FEW SECONDS. *JB

A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WHO DETERMINED THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED HOWEVER; NO DETERMINATION WAS MADE AS TO WHY THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER ARM, SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER BALL JOINT
1997 LINCOLN TOWN CAR FRONT CONTROL ARM LOWER BALL JOINT FAILED, PUNCTURING TIRE AND DRIVING LOWER CONTROL ARM INTO ASPHALT. SPEED OF ACCIDENT 15 MPH. NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON LOWER CONTROL ARM FAILURES FOR LINCOLN, CROWN VICTORIA ETC. MANUFACTURER CLAIMS THE SPECIFIC VIN IS NOT UNDER RECALL CRITERIA. I SUSPECT THIS IS AN OVERSIGHT BY THE MANUFACTURER. I AM THANKFUL THAT I WAS NOT TAKING MY CHILD ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THERE WOULD HAVE CERTAINLY BEEN A WRECK AND THE WAY THE FAILURE OCCURRED, I AM NOT SURE HOW THE CAR COULD NOT HAVE SPUN AND ROLLED IF THE FAILURE WOULD HAVE OCCURRED AT A HIGHER SPEED. THE CONTROL ARM LEFT A GROOVE IN THE ASPHALT AND HALTED THE CAR INSTANTLY THROWING EVERYONE FORWARD WHEN IT OCCURRED. IT WOULD BE ADVISABLE TO HAVE THESE RECALLED TO AVOID POTENTIAL LITIGATION AND LAW SUITS. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL INSTANCES OF THIS IN THIS COMPLAINT DATABASE AS WELL AS ON THE WEB. I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY CLASS ACTION SUIT AND CAN ONLY FIND THE RECALL ON THE LOWER CONTROL ARM THAT APPARENTLY DOES NOT INCLUDE MY SPECIFIC VIN NUMBER (AND A LOT OF OTHERS APPARENTLY AS WELL). I HAVE ASKED SEVERAL MECHANICS AND THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS AND SUSPECT A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THEY ALSO SAY THAT IT IS PRETTY RIDICULOUS TO HAVE A CONTROL ARM GO OUT SO SOON IN A VEHICLES LIFE. THERE ARE CARS THAT STILL HAVE THEIR ORIGINAL CONTROL ARMS AND TWICE THE MILEAGE OF OTHER MANUFACTURERS. THE REPAIRS ARE EXPENSIVE, THE FAILURE IS DANGEROUS, AND I HONESTLY HAVE PROBLEMS TRUSTING WHETHER THE DEALER WILL USE PARTS THAT HAVE BEEN RE-ENGINEERED TO OVERCOME THIS FAILURE. ESPECIALLY SINCE WE ARE SEEING THAT SOME OF THE REPLACEMENT CONTROL ARMS APPEAR TO HAVE THE SAME FAILURES OR SAME DEFECT. HOW CAN I BE ASSURED THAT THIS WILL NOT OCCUR AGAIN? AND WILL I BE JUST AS LUCKY AS I WAS THIS TIME IN THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED AT EXTREMELY LOW SPEED? *JB

THE SPARK PLUGS WERE CLEAN AND THE CONTACT WAS DIRECTED TO HAVE THE INTAKE MANIFOLD REPLACED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE INTAKE MANIFOLD ON THIS VEHICLE IS MADE OF PLASTIC. THE INTAKE MANIFOLD FOR THE MODEL OF THIS VEHICLE IS NO LONGER PRODUCED IN PLASTIC.

SUSPENSION:FRONT:CONTROL ARM:LOWER ARM
HEARD A POPPING IN THE FRONT END OF MY 1997 LINCOLN TOWNCAR AND IT WAS PULLING TO THE LEFT WHEN I WOULD APPLY THE BRAKES. I TOOK IT TO THE GARAGE AND HAD THE TIRES ROTATED AND THE FRONT BRAKES REPLACED AND THE ROTORS WERE REPLACED AND BRAKE PADS, NOTHING WAS NOTICED AT THIS TIME. THE CAR WAS STILL PULLING TO THE LEFT WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. I WAS DRIVING TO MY JOB WHICH IS ABOUT 10 MILES FROM HOME AND WHEN I PULLED IN TO THE DRIVE AND WENT TO BACK UP I HEARD A LOUD POP, I CALLED MY HUSBAND AND TOLD HIM ABOUT IT AND WHEN HE LOOKED UNDERNEATH THE CAR HE FOUND THAT THE LOWER CONTROL ARM BRACKET THAT WAS FACTORY WELDED TO THE FRAME HAD COME LOOSE. THE POPPING NOISE WAS OBVIOUSLY FLEXING OF THE BRACKET THAT WAS WELDED TO THE FRAME AND WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED THE FLEXING OF THE BRACKET WAS CAUSING THE CAR TO PULL TO THE LEFT. MY HUSBAND CALL THE LOCAL LINCOLN DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING BEFORE. I THEN WENT ON LINE TO CARFAX AND RESEARCHED THE HISTORY OF MY CAR TO SEE IF IT HAD EVER BEEN WRECKED AND THE RESULTS WERE CLEAN, NO WRECKS OR SERVICE HISTORY OF ANY PROBLEM. WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL PEOPLE LOOK AT THE CAR AND EACH AND EVERY ONE EXPRESSED THAT THIS WAS A FIRST FOR THEM, THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING BEFORE AND THAT THEY FEEL LIKE IT WAS A FACTORY DEFAULT ON THE WELDING AND THAT I MUST HAVE HAD AN ANGEL ON MY SHOULDER BECAUSE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS. AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW I AM AT AWE AS TO WHAT TO DO BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN ADVISED TO NOT HAVE ANYTHING DONE TO THE CAR TILL SOMEONE FROM FORD/LINCOLN LOOKS AT. I FEEL THAT THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION AND THAT FORD/LINCOLN SHOULD TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE IS USED ON THE ROAD ONLY AND NOT USED AS AN OFF ROAD VEHICLE AND IT HAS NOT BEEN ABUSED IN ITS USE. I WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE SOME KIND OF RESPONSE OR HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. *JB
