I lost complete control of steering of my Lincoln while driving ( no steering whatsoever) and fortunately the direction of the car was heading toward the shoulder of the turnpike. And I got off the road onto shoulder. Scary!! This car was recalled twice for the steering shaft and was to have been repaired. Or was it!?? This could have been a major accident, with loss of steering!! Ford needs to stand behind this incident and cover the cost of repairs!! How many others with Lincoln towncars have crashed with loss of steering and never lived to tell their story!!

On the ventura freeway in heavy traffic on nov 6,2008. Driving at about 30 miles per hour, traffic made it necessary to stop. The car, as it has done before, had unintended acceleration. This was about the fifth or sixth time it has happened in one year of my owning the car. The other times it happened, I had brought it back to the dealer and they replaced transmission parts the first time but thereafter could not determine the problem in fact they had given me a type of computer to attach while I was driving so that if it did happen it would record some facts that would help them determine the cause.

My car had 94,106 miles then the repair was made. The front end was handling poorly and I knew the coil over strut assembly would need replacing. When my mechanic performed the work they called and asked me if I tried to work on the front suspension of my car and I told them 'no', as I have no tools or experience to do such work.
