1992 Lincoln Continental Heating & air conditioning Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the heating or air-conditioning system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Heating & air conditioning reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THE SELF LEVELING AIR SHOCKS ARE LOSING AIR AND THE COMPRESSOR RUNS ALL THE TIME. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS WILL COST ME $500 PER WHEEL TO CORRECT. ALTHOUGH MY CAR HAS ALOT OF MILES ON IT, I CAN'T EVEN TRADE IT IN BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEMS IT HAS. I WONDER IF OTHER LINCOLN OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. IS THIS JUST NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR? I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THIS CAR.
