Sudden failure of transmission. Came to a stop (20 miles into a 250 mile trip) and the car would not move in any forward gear unless I first put it in reverse. This happened at every stop. I was afraid to stop at the toll booths on the illinois tollway so used the I-pass lane. I managed to get to my daughter`s house in bolingbrook, where the transmission was replaced.
1994 Lincoln Continental transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 20 of 20, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
Vehicle decelerates while traveling causing driver to turn the vehicle off completely. However, the vehicle will start, but would not go into reverse / forward. The transmission failed and had to be replaced.
Left wheel seal to the transmission has a leakage. Also, engine head gasket blew out which caused oil to leak onto the engine, and radiator to leak anti-freeze. In addition, driver's side left window fell down inside the door this was the fourth time that cinsumer took vehicle to shop for repairs.
We were not made aware of a service bulletin #94-24-7 which warned of this problem - should this have been covered under warranty ?
Air sensor, idle sensor and engine computer replaced. Mjs
