I HAD JUST GOT HOME WITH MY VEHICLE FROM THE REPAIR SHOP, HAD A VACUUM HOSE REPLACED. I COULD NOT GET MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. I KEPT TRYING & WAS FINALLY SUCCESSFUL AT REMOVING THE KEY. NOW THE GEAR SHIFTER IS STUCK IN PARK AND WILL NOT GO INTO ANY OTHER GEAR. I JUST GOT IT BACK FROM THE SHOP & STILL CAN'T DRIVE IT DUE TO GETTING IT IN GEAR. THIS REALLY DOES NEED TO BE LOOKED INTO & THEY NEED TO DO A RECALL. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE 2 MORE YEARS TO PAY IT OFF & THEN IT IS GONE. *TR

MY FAMILY AND I OWN 4 LINCOLN TOWN CARS. YEARS OF THEM ARE 2001, 2003, 2006, 2008 AND EVERYTIME IT RAINS A LOT OF WATER GETS INTO TO FRONT RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE.

PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS ISSUE TO SEE WHAT THE REAL PROBLEM IS, WHICH THE WATER MIGHT CAUSE ELECTRICAL ISSUE OR OTHER SAFETY HAZARDS OF THE FRAME ISN'T WELDED CORRECTLY. *TR
