2005 Lincoln Town Car

WHILE IN MOTION VEHICLE ENGINE ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN. NOT A DRIVER ERROR PROBLEM. THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ENGINE REVVING HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN DRIVING IN THE CITY AND SLOWING DOWN APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION. CAN CONTROL THE ENGINE REVVING UP BY PLACING TRANSMISSION ON NEUTRAL, STOPPING CAR TURN IGNITION TO OFF. RESTART ENGINE AND ENGINE BEHAVES PROPERLY. TOOK CAR TO DEALER 0N 9/22/16. DEALER KEPT CAR TO ATTEMPT DUPLICATING PROBLEM. CAR RETURNED CAR TO ME ON 10/20/16. DEALER SAYS NO PROBLEM DETECTED. THIS ACCELERATION PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES GOING BACK TO SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED THE NEW CAR. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN GOOD FAITH. I NOW BELIEVE THAT THE DEALER AND LINCOLN SOLD ME A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITH PASSENGERS AND SAFETY FOR OTHER PERSONS. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED PROBABLY ABOUT 20 TIMES AND REPORTED SEVERAL TIMES TO NO AVAIL.

TAKATA RECALL; AGAIN WHY IS MY CAR DELETED FROM THE LIST OF CARS WITH THE SAME YEAR? IS THERE SAFETY MORE IMPORTANT THAN MY FAMILY? FORD INTENTIONALLY INSTALLED A CHEAPER VERSION OF AIRBAG INFLATOR, KNOWING THERE WAS A PROBLEM. WHEN IS THIS DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENT GOING TO GO AFTER THESE COMPANIES WHO VIOLATE THE LAW? MY 2005 DODGE TRUCK ALSO IS UNDER A RECALL FOR THE SAME THING, BUT THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX IT...WE WANT ACTION AND NOW< QUIT TELLING US THE CONSUMER LIES< LIKE WE"LL GET BACK TO YOU IN (2) BUSINESS DAYS.THIS IS ALL B.S.....A8.

OUR CAR HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED BY FORD OR NHTSA. NUMEROUS REQUESTS OVER THE LAST (2) YEARS HAVE NOT RETURNED A RESPONSE. WHY IS CARS FROM THE SAME YEAR BEING CONSIDERED AND NOT OURS? IS THEIR SAFETY MORE IMPORTANT THAN OURS? WHY ARE WE BEING IGNORED BY THE ESTABLISHMENT? THIS IS OUTRIGHT DISCRIMINATION..... WE HAVE SPENT $1200. FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR, ONLY TO FIND OUT WE NEED THE DRIVER SIDE INFLATOR ALSO FOR IT TO WORK. WHERE ARE THE PARTS? WHY HASN'T FOQRD MADE THESE PARTS AVAILABLE? THEY HAVE NEGLECTED OUR SAFETY..... WE CAN NOT EVEN CARRY OUR GRAND CHILDREN IN OUR VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS . WHERE'S THE JUSTICE IN THIS? THIS SAME SITUATION APPLIES FOR MY 2005 DODGE RAM PICKUP, AGAIN NO PARTS AVAILABLE. WHY DON'T YOU JUST REPLACE THEM WITH TAKATA-INFLATOR, LIKE WE HAVE NOW, IF IT LASTS (10) MORE YEARS,AT LEAST WE'LL BE SAFE...DOES ANYONE IN WASHINGTON DO THEIR JOBS ANYMORE? MAYBE IT'S TIME FOR NEW LEADERSHIP, AND NOT THE DEMOCRATIC DO NOTHING PARTY...YOU HAVE HAD (8) YEARS, FOR HEAVENS SAKE , GET MOVING....

JUST CALLED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY SAY THAT NHTSA, ISSUES THE RECALLS ,NOT FORD MOTOR COMPANY, WHY HAVEN;T YOU ISSUED ONE FOR THIS MODEL CAR? YOU WOULD THINK FORD WOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT OUR SAFETY, THEY DON;T CARE AND NEITHER DOES NHTSA.....HOW MANY PEOPLE , INCLUDING CHILDREN MUST DIE BEFORE YOU ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE? THATS WHY WE NEED A CHANGE IN OUR GOVERNMENT, AND VERY SOON...

WE HAVE CONTACTED FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND THEY STILL REFUSE TO DO A RECALL ON OUR 2005-LINCOLN TOWN CAR.,WHY IS THIS NOT BEING FIXED? WE HAVE SPENT $1200 DOLLARS TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM AND HAVE ONE SEAT BELT REPLACED,AND AIRBAG INFLATOR. AFTER REPLACING ONE SIDE, THE OTHER SIDE NOW NEEDS REPLACING,WHICH THERE WAS NOT ANOTHER PART AVAILABLE. SO NOW IT'S ALL DISCONNECTED,AND ALL WE HAVE FOR SAFETY IS THE SEAT BELTS,WHICH FORD SAID THAT WOULD BE SAFE ENOUGH. I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE BY THIS COMPANY AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER FORD PRODUCT... WHY HASN'T YOUR ORGANIZATION DONE SOMETHING TO SECURE OUR SAFETY? WE CAN'T EVEN TAKE THE GRAND-KIDS IN OUR CAR ,BECAUSE OF THIS SAFETY -HAZARD. WE HAVE FILLED A COMPLAINT WITH YOUR ORGANIZATION LAST YEAR,WHEN IS THIS GOING TO BE RECTIFIED ? PLEASE NOTIFY US AS TO WHAT YOU ARE GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS? HELP!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 LINCOLN TOWN CAR. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO 85 MPH. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON, AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ELECTRONIC VALVE IN THE FUEL INJECTOR SEIZED IN THE OPEN POSITION AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I JUST PURCHASED A USED 2005 LINCOLN. THE 1ST DAY OF/DURING DRIVING IT, I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WHEN MOVING MY RIGHT FOOT ONTO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP. DOING SO, 3 DIFFERENT TIMES, THE VEHICLE LEAPT FORWARD. (I'VE HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING IN THE PAST TO OLDER FOLKS DRIVING INTO BUILDINGS.) I HAVE COME TO BE AWARE THAT WHEN MOVING THE RIGHT FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO THE BRAKE PEDAL VIA ROLLING ON THE HEEL OF YOUR FOOT, THAT THE RIGHT OUTTER EDGE OF YOUR SHOE-SOLE CONTACTS THE ACCELERATOR AT THE SAME TIME WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW OR STOP THE VEHICLE. NO UPLOADS OR ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS PROVIDED.
