 Have also had to replace the entire suspension system of this vehicle. however, that was replaced under warranty. it has also been suggested to me that the engine of this vehicle has a history of seal/gasket failures. we very much like this vehicle and are considering whether to trade this vehicle or purchase a new vehicle. we are looking for some expert history info on which to base our decisions.

 Defective air suspension system in lincoln continental results in extremely unstable and unsafe driving. blown air bag while driving vehicle resulted in rear end crashing down and leaving car inoperable. faulty compressor leaves the car 12 inches difference between left and right and front and back. head lights shine into the sky and now into the ground. driving vehicle extremely unsafe especially at night. 3 yrs of complaining to ford/lincoln - they won't acknowledge the problem! get these vehicles off the road before they cause major road accidents. mn state attorney general notified - file # rjm/2006/322030/c. *nm
