This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Faulty brake lines, rusted sections, leaking loss of braking while driving. I checked the brake lines, I found the 2 brake lines going to the rear of the car severely rusted, leaking sections. (photo enclosed) a line adjacent to the brake lines looks new, no rust at all! everything else under the car, including parts that normally rust like the muffler, tail pipe, etc. Are in great shape. It is obvious to me that the brake lines used in this particular year of the Lincoln are faulty, ( a material defect)! I have made several phone calls to inquire about having it fixed because my car is not safe to drive. I have been told that this car needs some very unusual, and expensive, labor to replace the faulty brake lines. (the frame and body of the car has to be separated) what type of engineering is that? Ive received estimates to fix my car at a minimum of $1500! Ive also been informed that this is possibly an unpublished recall for this particular car with such serious brake line erosion, a material defect! it doesnT take an expert to know that these brake lines are a danger to the public! any people who happen to be at the wrong place and time, when these defective brakes fail it could be catastrophic.
