What owners wrote
1996 lincoln town car steering went out causing consumer to run into a fence. The steering wheel would turn left and right but the wheel did not respond. Rear air spring were replaced due to excessive cracking. The vehicle steering a suspension performed poorly. The dealer replaced the upper and lower ball joints and the inner and outer tie rods. The right front window regulator broke. The interior light on the left side of the vehicle did not work.
Dealership failed to provide prompt repair of a fire hazard recall. I made an appointment as the recall requested for the speed control fire hazard, the dealership put at least four other vehicles ahead of mine and this is a small dealership. This was a work day for me, hence the appointment, and a repair that would take less than 15 minutes was looking to take a couple of hours.
