REAR AIR SUSPENSION BLEW OUT (BOTH AT THE SAME TIME WHILE DRIVING) HEAD GASKET IN AN ENGINE THAT GETS IT'S OIL CHANGED EVERY 3000 MILES OR SO. FRONT HUB ASSEMBLY READY TO FALL OFF. VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED. AIR CONDITIONING THAT COMPLETELY BECAME DISFUNCTIONAL.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
TWO YEARS AGO I HAD THE REAR AIR BAGS REPAIRED AT THE DEALER AT A COST OF $1500. AT THE BEGINING OF THIS YEAR THE FRONT AIR BAGS STARTED TO GO. LIKE THE REARS THE LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE IS SPORATIC.SOMETIMES THE CAR LOWERS ITSELF OVERNIGHT, OTHER TIMES IT HAPPENS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT OTHER EARLY 90'S CONTINENTALS AND TOWNCARS IN MY AREA SAG AT THE FRONT OR REAR OF THE CAR. I AM WONDERING IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED OTHER REPORTS ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I ALSO KNOW THAT LINCOLN NO LONGER USES THIS SYSTEM. *AK

SUSPENSION:FRONT, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
THE SELF LEVELING AIR SHOCKS ARE LOSING AIR AND THE COMPRESSOR RUNS ALL THE TIME. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS WILL COST ME $500 PER WHEEL TO CORRECT. ALTHOUGH MY CAR HAS ALOT OF MILES ON IT, I CAN'T EVEN TRADE IT IN BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS IT HAS. I WONDER IF OTHER LINCOLN OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. IS THIS JUST NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR? I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS CAR.

I HAVE HEARD OF A RECALL ON THE 90-91, AND 94 MODELS, BUT NOT ON THE 92. ALSO, OUR 92 WAS BUILT IN 11/91; WOULD THAT RECALL BE FOR MODEL YEAR 91, OR ALL VEHICLES BUILT IN 91? I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS AMOUNTS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ENGINE AND ITS HEAD GASKET PLAGUE. ANY INFORMATION YOU COULD PROVIDE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. THANK YOU!.
