What 1997 Lincoln Continental owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Brake lines were so corroded that they failed, leaving me without brakes. My mechanic contacted ford to get replacement brake lines and was told that they are not manufactured anymore. My mechanic had to manufacture his own brake lines. Cause of the line failure seems to be proximity to the muffler causing heat and water to corrode the lines. I have the old brake lilnes available for inspection.
When applying pressure to the brake pedal anti lock braking system made a groaning noise, causing brake pedal to pump. Also, caused the vehicle to pass the desired stopping point.
