Accident 7/11/04 wife rear ended a dodge dorango and totaled her lincoln town car. She didn't see thr car stop in front of her quick enough when applying the brakes the car went in a nice straight line but did not have good braking . I found this to be true when driving this car myself . Now we have to pay the price of increased ins. And a bad mark . My wife has never had an accident but there is no room for this in the ins.
When braking , the steering wheel would pull hard to the right. This made it hard for the driver to maintain control of vehicle. The brake rotors were warped. Also the lower ball joints were replaced, the engine light illuminated, the dealer found the evap canister solenoid valve leaking.
