2000 Lincoln Town Car Other / unspecified Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the other system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Other / unspecified 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.

ONE AGREED TO REPLACED IT IF THE CONSUMER PAYS THE $50.00 WARRANTY DEDUCTIBLE. CONSUMER THINK THE JACK COULDN'T HOLD THE LINCOLN BUT MAY HOLD A FORD FOCUS.

MICHELIN,FIRESTONE AND POSSIBLY LINCOLN HAS LOST THE CONSUMER AS A CONSUMER. *PH
