1990 Lincoln Continental suspension problems

Filed Sep 18, 2001 · Engine, Suspension · PA

On the internet it stated ford had callbacks for all3.8 engines for headgasket problems but only recalled a few VIN numbers. How could they get away with that? You and I and every mecchanic knows the problem with the 3.8 engine by ford why cant some thing be done. I wasnt told of anything about this. Lucky I was driving not my daughter. She would have diven till it burned the motor up. And the air shocks at $ 4,000 for the 4 of them thats another farce. Cant you make them at least install at cost ? My engine overheated as I was driving on the pa. Turnpike lucky I pulled over and got towed with a $350 bill.

My son at the time of purchase was and is a college student from a single parent household and I am disabled. The dealer did not at any time advise my son that the vehicle had any recalls or problems. We have spent well over $2000.00 in repairs, the car has been towed 7-8 times. The air bag light comes on continuously, thee ride control alarm comes on continuously, the suspension has been repaired twice, passenger air bag light comes on continuously as well as the charge system, we have had it in and out of dealership. I will never buy another vehicle from ford and I feel that this car or make should ot have been rel3ased to the consumer with this many defects. I feel the car is unsafe and that the number of repairs proves it over and over. I wo0uld like to know how to vile a loss of value claim to recover the money we continue to spend on a vehicle that cannot be traded in or sold . The dealer ship bears a large part of the responsible because they did not disclose any recall or other possible components problems with the car at the time my son purchased the car. The dealership had the car back to repair the suspension, the brakes, a severe leak with the brake fluid coming out. The break job did not last long enough for my son to drive home. It has also caused me a great deal of stress and has contributed to my depression and strokes trying to keep it runing and getting to and from various points including doctors appoints. I believe that the fod motore company bears some responsibility and to this date we have never been notified of ay recalls on this particular model. Please contact myself or my son at your earliest convience. Lincoln mercury replaced the air syspension just two months ago and it is going out again as well as athe right rear rotor. We have replaced the starte5r, cylionoid, the wires, switch, the brakes three times. The air bag depolyment mal functions constantly. I will never buy another ford.

Front end/engine/ fuel pump malfunctioned. This is the most trouble I have ever had out of a car, and the only thing that came under warranty was the air conditioning system and they didn't get that fixed right. I will never buy another lincoln product in my life.
