Instrument cluster on a 1998 lincoln continental. The instrument cluster failed, which resulted in the car stalling out. This made steering and braking very difficult because there was no power going to these units on the car. I was lucky and the traffic was very light at the time. The second failure happened while the vehicle was in a driveway.

The vehicle began jerking and stalled while the consumer was slowing down. The consumer restarted the vehicle repeatedly, but it stalled upon starting to move. The dealer could not find the problem, but a mechanic at another shop identified the cause to be a failed torque converter.

Engine shuts down while driving. Engine fails to start. These events happen intermittently and after a breif wait it will general start. Like always this will not happen when the dealer can experance the event. Biggest conser is that power steering and power brakes fail with the engine when this takes place on the road at hiway speeds. Have been towed to the dealer and then always starts upon arrival.
