1992 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL Complaints

ENGINE HEAD GASKETS BLEWOUT PREMATURELY, CAUSING COOLANT TO GO INTO PISTON. MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED.*AK

IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THE 1992 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL EXECUTIVE SERIES HAS MANY PROBLEMS. I COULD NOT EVEN SELL IT TO A USED CAR DEALER DUE TO ITS KNOWN DEFECTS. REAR AIR SUSPENSION BLEW OUT (BOTH AT THE SAME TIME WHILE DRIVING) HEAD GASKET IN AN ENGINE THAT GETS IT'S OIL CHANGED EVERY 3000 MILES OR SO. FRONT HUB ASSEMBLY READY TO FALL OFF. VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED. AIR CONDITIONING THAT COMPLETELY BECAME DISFUNCTIONAL.

CONTROL DATA CENTER (CDL) FAILURE CONTIUOUSLY. FORD SAYS TYPICAL WITH THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT RECCOMEND REPLACING. CAN NOT GET CORRECT DATA ALL THE TIME (IE)GAS AMOUNT, OIL GUAGE, WATER GAUGE ETC... CONTIUOUS BEEPING. VERY PRICY TO REPAIR. HAPPENS ON MANY LINCOLNS*AK

ALL FOUR SHOCK ABSORBERS WENT OUT WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING . ALSO, AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM WOULDN'T WORK, DEALERSHIP WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH SPEEDOMETER WILL DIE, CONSUMER STILL KEEPS SAME SPEED, BUT READING IS ZERO.*AK

TWO YEARS AGO I HAD THE REAR AIR BAGS REPAIRED AT THE DEALER AT A COST OF $1500. AT THE BEGINING OF THIS YEAR THE FRONT AIR BAGS STARTED TO GO. LIKE THE REARS THE LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE IS SPORATIC.SOMETIMES THE CAR LOWERS ITSELF OVERNIGHT, OTHER TIMES IT HAPPENS WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED THAT OTHER EARLY 90'S CONTINENTALS AND TOWNCARS IN MY AREA SAG AT THE FRONT OR REAR OF THE CAR. I AM WONDERING IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED OTHER REPORTS ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I ALSO KNOW THAT LINCOLN NO LONGER USES THIS SYSTEM. *AK

WHILE DRIVING HOOD LATCH REMAINED LATCHED IN PLACE, BUT HOOD FLEW UP, BLOCKING DRIVERS VIEW, AND CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE WINDSHIELD AND ROOF. PLEASE GIVE ANY FURTHER DETAILS.*AK

VEHICLE 3.8 LITER WITH V6; HEAD GASKET FAILED AT 77,000 MILES . MAUNFACTURR WILL NOT COVER HEAD GASKET EVEN WITH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY.*AK

THE SELF LEVELING AIR SHOCKS ARE LOSING AIR AND THE COMPRESSOR RUNS ALL THE TIME. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS WILL COST ME $500 PER WHEEL TO CORRECT. ALTHOUGH MY CAR HAS ALOT OF MILES ON IT, I CAN'T EVEN TRADE IT IN BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS IT HAS. I WONDER IF OTHER LINCOLN OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. IS THIS JUST NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR? I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS CAR.

WITH IN 10 MONTHS ALL FOUR AIR SUSPENSIONS FAILED, CAUSING VEHICLE DROPPING TO THE FRAME, WHICH MAY HAVE CAUSED LOSS OF CONTROL AND CRASH. DEALER COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE. *AK EACH DIAPHRAM THAT FAILED WAS DUE TO SALT CORROSSION. *YH
