IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THE 1992 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL EXECUTIVE SERIES HAS MANY PROBLEMS. I COULD NOT EVEN SELL IT TO A USED CAR DEALER DUE TO ITS KNOWN DEFECTS. REAR AIR SUSPENSION BLEW OUT (BOTH AT THE SAME TIME WHILE DRIVING) HEAD GASKET IN AN ENGINE THAT GETS IT'S OIL CHANGED EVERY 3000 MILES OR SO. FRONT HUB ASSEMBLY READY TO FALL OFF. VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED. AIR CONDITIONING THAT COMPLETELY BECAME DISFUNCTIONAL.

VEHICLE 3.8 LITER WITH V6; HEAD GASKET FAILED AT 77,000 MILES . MAUNFACTURR WILL NOT COVER HEAD GASKET EVEN WITH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY.*AK

THIS LINCOLN NOW HAS 147,000 MILES ON IT . THE HEAD GASKETS ARE LEAKING AGAIN, THEY WERE REPLACED 2 TIMES ALREADY. GETTING CHECK DCL LIGHT, BUZZER ALL THE TIME, THIS WAS FIXED ONCE ALREADY. A/C STILL BLOWS HOT AIR. I WILL NEVER BUY A LINCOLN AGAIN.. I HAVE SPENT TO MUCH MONEY FIXING FORDS REACURRING PROBLEMS.

HEAD GASKET LEAK CAUSED OVERHEAT, COMMON PROBLEM, RECALL ON OTHER YEARS, $1500 REPAIR, IF THEY KNOW ABOUT THIS WHY WON'T THEY RECALL THE 1992?*AK

I DON'T KNOW IF A BLOWN HEAD GASKET IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. MAYBE IF THE ENGINE WAS TO STALL OR QUIT AND THERE WAS A LOSS OF CONTROL, THEN PERSONAL LIABILITY WOULD BE A FACTOR. *AK

1994 I PURCHASED A USED 1992 CONTINENTIAL STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. IN OCTOBER 1996 WITH 64293 MILES ON VEHICLE, AND OUT OF WARRANTY, THE HEAD-GASKETS FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1,521.66. I BELIEVE HEAD GASKETS SHOULD LAST AT LEAST 100K MILES AND THAT THIS ENGINE HAD MAJOR PROBLEMS KNOWN TO FORD MOTOR CO. AS IS EVIDENCED BY THEIR TSB 98-4-9, FOR THE 1988-94 3.8L ENGINE. PLEASE CONTINUE TO PURSUE FORD MOTOR TO HONOR THIS VEHICLE YEAR, ALONG WITH THE PROGRESS YOU HAVE MADE FOR LATER YEAR VEHICLES WITH THIS ENGINE. *AK

ENGINE HEAD GASKET IS LEAKING FLUID ONTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. CONSUMER HAS CONTACTED DEALER. BOTH HEAD GASKETS REPLACED AT OWNER'S EXPENSE, AS WELL AS BOTH FRONT AIR-LEVELING BAGS WHICH WERE LEAKING AND DETERIORATED. *AK *ML

FORD'S 3.8L ENGINE HAS EXPERIENCED MANY HEAD GASKET FAILURES. MY 1992 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL EXPERIENCED A FAILED HEAD GASKET PROBLEM AT 91,830 MILES. FORD HAS EXTENDED ENGINE WARRANTIES ON LATER CONTINENTALS. IF THERE IS A DESIGN FLAW WHICH IS CONTRIBUTING TO THESE FAILURES, FORD SHOULD HAVE SOME RESPONSIBILITY IN THE REPAIR COSTS FOR EARLIER MODELS IN ADDITION TO THE LATER MODELS THAT THEY ARE NOW COVERING. *AK

ENGINE HEAD GASKET BLEW OUT WHICH MAY CAUSE VEHICLE TO STALL UNEXPECTEDLY AND MAY RESULT IN A CRASH. DEALER REPLACED THE GASKET AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. *AK DUE TO GASKET FAILURE ANTIFREEZE LEAKED INTO CYLINDERS CAUSING ROUGH IDLE. *YH

FORD OFFERED EXTENDED WARRANTIES COVERING 1993 AND 1994 LINCOLN CONTINENTALS WITH BLOWN HEAD GASKETS. I'M FILING THIS FORM CONCERNING 1992 MODELS TO SEE IF THEY SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE WARRANTY PROGRAM. *AK
