1999 Lincoln Town Car steering complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 15 of 15, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Car has a problen in the steering box. Took it to a specialist and ford discounted it. They sent a lincoln rep down and he just lied to me about the problem said it was a factory flaw and could not fix , then I took the car into the dealer for a pinging and they said they couldn't hear it (nothing was done)then later on a trip it went haywire sounded like a big diesel truck on the highway and ran like crap , sucking gas also, then changed dealers and they said they coulden't find a ping . I grabed me a mechanic and we took a little ride and before I could get it back it was pinging (took them 3 weeks to fix with me coming up almost daily to test it, and nobody can adjust the head lights on the car that is bad its idiot proof
Squeak in front suspension while turning at low or high speeds. At times needs extra turning of steering wheel to maintain lane through turns or curves.stabilizer bar also shows signs of excess movement in mounts.dealer states the problem is the tie rod bushings flexing under pressure. Nlm
On or about october 19, 1999, we purchased a 1999 lincoln town car from the dealer which is really dan pfeiffer. We were told that the car had never been in an accident. We were told a lot of things which were not true. In any case, we had nothing but trouble with the car and finally we researched the history of the car ourselves when it became apparent that the dealership was just stringing us along. It turns out that the lincoln had been totaled in an accident about 5 months before we purchased it. State farm insurance company totaled the car but then directly or indirectly caused it to be cosmetically repaired and we ended up paying $46,000 financed for a car which had been totaled about five months before we purchased it. Since I am sure that the dealership knew about the accident prior to our purchasing the car, do they have sources of information which would show the history to them but not the consumer? It does not show up on carfax or vhr and the like. However, we do have a beautiful title suitable for framing if nothing else.
When the steering wheel is adjusted low the reading of the speedometer is not visible, due to design. Mjs
