Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Electrical problem, trunk will not go up nor down. Car wouldn't cut off even when the key was taken out of the ignition shocks and suspension-shocks are consistently being replaced for unknown purposes. Including the air suspension. Sy over heating- radiator and thermostats was replaced and has gone bad within 1 week. Ts
This car has several electrical problems which I have paid to get fixed such as the air ride control compressor, the alternator, battery, all fuses, wiring under the seat, lights across the dash, the emergency flasher would not turn off. Other things that have happened to this car within days of purchase radiator, timing chain and all oil seals,door handles mechinam. I can now feel a rattle beneath my feet as I drive. Has there ever been a recall on this car? My mother has one like it and has had the same problems which has extended to the transmission.
When the electrical components got wet in a flood, system malfunctioned. Vehicle has power windows and doors. Consumer was unable to exit vehicle from inside, and doors failed to open from outside. *ak once the electrical system failes, it is impossible to open doors and windows with keys from inside and outside of the vehicle.
Intermittently headlights will short out, resulting in poor visibility. Dealer has been notified.*ak also, antilock brakes lockup periodically.
Vehiocle stalls at any speed intermittently. Dealer cannot find cause. *ak the vehicle had stalled due to ignition module and starter failure. A solnoid failure also caused the verhice to stall.
A piston cracked within transmission, cause unknown. *ak computer failed while repairing transmission. Also, the head gasket blew up at 50000 miles.
This vehicle has had two engines, two transmissions, two sets of motor mounts, been in numerous times for repairs to the window on the driver side. The head gaskets blew causing engine failure without warning. We spent over $20,000.00 in 1999 for repairs. We paid for a radiator that was not defective at all, (just found this out last week), a water pump and a valve body after a transmission replacement. The 1994 lincoln continental was a "real lemon" and more should be done to protect consumers against having to pay for these vehicels and then having to pay to rebuild them.
While traveling noticed air bag indicator light on. Also, noticed smoke coming from the steering wheel. Dealer has been contacted.
A/c compressor seized. Nlm
