As the car neared the end of its warranty, I had several failures. The air conditioning failed at 45000 mi., two coil packs failed under warranty. I was driving the car about a week before the final failure and it just lost all power. I barely got it to pull by holding it in low gear. It would barely move but I got it to a parking lot and left it for about an hour. When I returned it started up and drove just fine. I took it to the lincoln mercury dealer and they could find nothing wrong. About a week later my wife started to drive the car (cold) and almost got run over trying to leave the driveway. I was walking one block up the street and she pulled in and asked me to look at the car. It was running very rough just as before so I told her to take it back home and park it and take the other car. She did this, locked it and left. It had only run about 4 or 5 minutes. As I walked around the block I heard a car alarm going off and as I approached my house I saw the car on fire sitting just outside the garage, luckily I called the fire dept and they came and put it out but it was destroyed. The car was maybe one month out of warranty so I called the dealer, the regional ford rep and a retired ford rep I know. And none of them would talk to me, return phone calls( in the case of the regional ford rep) I called detroit to the executive offices of ford and a lawyer told me it was not their problem and to file a claim with my insurance company. He would not even send someone to inspect it. The insurance company paid off and I tried to get them to investigate to find the problem but I don't know what they did. The fire was obviously electrical but I don't know more. The car was a 1999 lincoln town car so the present recall doesn't cover enough cars.

I purchased a new 2005 lincoln towncar. When I start to pass a car and press the accelerator to the floor to go into passing gear there is a period of a few seconds when the car appears to lose power then it shifts down and accelerates. The dealership told me "that is the way it works and there is no way to correct it". I think this puts me in danger because I cannot tell if the car is going to downshift and gain enough speed to pass or not.

The intake manifold burst and flooded the spark plug wires. As a result the vehicle lost power and coolant was everywhere. *nm the coolant vapor covered and fogged the vehicle's windshield which then caused poor visibility.
