1994 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL Complaints

AIR SUSPENSION WENT FULL UP FOR SEVERAL MILES, WHILE TRING TO FIND PLACE TO PULL OVER IT WENT DOWN HAS STAYED BOTTOMED OUT SINCE. DEALER IN FLA. SAID UNSAFE TO DRIVE BUT WANTED $3400 TO FIX. DROVE IT HOME TO MI. SLOW AND VERY ROUGH RIDE.*AK

WHILE DRIVING 55-60 MPH AND WITHOUT WARNING VEHICLE WAS OVERHEATING, CAUSING IT TO SHAKE. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

CONSUMER STATED INTERMITTENTLY THE VEHICLE WILL LOCKED UP, WHILE DRIVING ON A OFF RAMP AT 30-35MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN, MANUFACTURER REFERRED CONSUMER TO A DEALER THAT WOULD DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.*AK. CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND THE ORIGNIAL OWNER WAS NOTIFIED, BUT THE CONSUMER WAS NOT, THERFORE THE PROBLEM WILL NOT BE COVERED.*YH

WHILE TRAVELING AT 30 MPH SHOCK ABSORBERS EXPLODED AND VEHICLE WENT 1 TO 2 FEET IN AIR BEFORE IT CAME BACK DOWN. CONTACTED DEALER, AND THE DEALER WAS NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING.*AK

FRONT SUSPENSION WENT OUT WHILE CAR WAS PARKED, I HAVE SEEN WELL OVER 25 CUSTOMERS WHOM HAAVE CONTACTED NTSA WITH THE SAME PART FAILURE. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE TO SEE WHT THEY HAD NOT RECALLED THIS PARTICULAR ITEM ON THE CAR AND WAS GIVEN NO ANSWER. BUT TOLD TO GO TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALARSHIP AND HAAVE IT REPAAIRED, KEEP MY RECEIPTS AND IF THEY DECIDE (PROBABLE AFTER HUNDREDS MORE COMPLAIN) TO RECALL THE SUSPENSION SOMEWHERE IN THE FUTURE I WILL RECEIVE A LETTER AND IF I HAVE MY RECEIPTS AND IT WAS REPAIRED BY ONE OF THEIR AUTHORIZED AGENTS, THEN AT THAT TIME I MIGHT GET A REFUND. I EXPLAINED TO CUSTOMER SSERVICE THAT I FELT THAT THERE WAS PLENTY EENOUGH EVIDENCE LODGED ON THIS WEBSITE SUPPORTING THE FACT THAT MANY CUTOMERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED LONG TIME AGO. WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR IN APRIL 2001, I WAS TOLD THE ONLY RECALL THEY HAD WAS ON THE HEAD GASKETS. BUT THERE IS A SSERVICE BULLETIN OUT REGARING NOISES MADE UPON START UP AND SHUT DOWN WHICH ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE FRONT AIR SUSPENSION. I FEEL LINCOLN FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS REPAIR IN THEIR OBVIOUS NEGLECT TO RECALL THIS FAULTY SUSPENSION SYSTEM AND NOTIFY CONSUMERS OF ALL OF THIS YEAR OF LINCOLN PROBLEMS.*AK

WHILE DRIVING IN HOT WEATHER CONDITIONS VEHICLE WILL COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN WITHOUT WARNING, VEHICLE DOES NOT OVERHEAT, BUT ENGINE SHUTS DOWN AND RESTARTS AFTER 30 MINUTES. DEALER CANNOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. *AK VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS WHO CAN NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. *SLC
