1998 Lincoln Town Car Owner Comments

Town Car

The cruise control module stopped working on my vehicle and now I'm told it can't be replaced. Subsequently, the radio & A/C stopped working. This cruise control module had to be replaced because of it's ability to spontaneously combust the car in flames as it did on my 1996 Lincoln Town car. Why doesn't the government enforce the recall laws?
