1991 Lincoln Continental suspension problems

Filed Jul 16, 2004 · Suspension · MO

Front suspension went out. Had it repaired at an independent dealer, over 2000.00. Next couple of months, rear goes out. This is very unfair too the consumer. I have seen numerous owners with the same problem.

I had just bought this car from a private owner for my sister to drive to work. Well not even before we got home the main eec iv computer died so the car would not run. Once we figured out it was the main computer and replaced it it ran fine. But we still had two bad front air struts to fix. After all that she finally got to drive it to work and the first day she drove the car she did not even make it home because the transmission just stopped working. So she is out a car and we do not have the money to fix it. Because of all the other cars my poor sister has owned drained us.

This is the third(3) continental we have owned and air suspension has failed of all three. The 3.8 cui motor in this car and other ford models has benn notorious for leaking head gaskets.

The car doesn't shocks, springs, or struts only air bags which controls the steering as well as the ride of the car once the bags gets a hole or leaks the car drops to the tires the car bounces all over the place making it unsafe to drive at any speed above 20 miles per hour. The repair is by dealer only asking price between 1800 to 2000. I would like to know how a company thought that a plastic bag would hold up a car weight of over 4000lbs and I was never told about air bags in place of springs or shocks on the car I now have a car that is unsafe to drive and car payments to make on a unsafe car.

1991 lincoln continentals are reported by all repair shops in this area to have known head gasket problems along with rear strut and air suspension problems. Many people are losing their shirts and ford has done nothing to handle this problem. They have recalled 1994 lincoln continentals but have not addressed any earlier years.
