1997 Lincoln Continental Executive Series review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When new the CK engine light went on twice both times, it was a fuel related problem. Also the active suspension need a new computer and ride sensors.. at 7500 miles FT rotors needed resurfacing and new FT brake pads.. at 16000 miles the rack and pinion was replaced due to vibration and also the engine mount.. at 17000 the auto day and night mirror went bad, also the front headlight turned foggy.
General comments?
Every time the car was in for service the dealer gave us a Lincoln loaner.... and the car was never in the shop more than 3 days at the longest... treatment by the dealer was great.
