Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I had a 1996 lincoln towne car. i have had a lot of problems with it and most included the electrical system. sometimes it wouldn't start or other times it would just turn off in the middle of driving. i had taken it over the years to the dealer and they said they couldn't find anything. the last of july i stopped at a stop light and put it in park to reach back to the back seat. when i went to put the brake on to put it into gear again the brake peddle went all the way to the floor. i put the brake on again to put it in park and go across the street to call a tow truck. i had shut the motor off and put the flashers on. i was inside the building when a guy came in and wanted to know if we knew there was a car on fire in the intersection! it took forever for the fire dept. to get there! anyway, it burned all the way to the ground. i only had liability and am s.o.l. i learned a lessen that day. never get a ford! maybe you can get ford to fix these things before someone gets hurt. a friend of mine told me of this site. your good people. wish i knew of you sooner though.
