Read complaints for LINCOLN CONTINENTAL (1992)
Vehicle was involved in a collison and air bag deploy, which cause the driver to experience a very bad trumor. Her left arm was broke due to the air bag deploying and she was only going 15mph.
Owner was driving 10 to 15mph when airbag deployed and injured driver, the vehicle was hit in the left front dup of 813169, added on 25-feb-98.
Air bag light will come on from time to time. Dealer is unable to find a solution to the problem.
Two years ago i had the rear air bags repaired at the dealer at a cost of $1500. At the begining of this year the front air bags started to go. Like the rears the loss of air pressure is sporatic.sometimes the car lowers itself overnight, other times it happens while the car is in motion. I have also noticed that other early 90's continentals and towncars in my area sag at the front or rear of the car. I am wondering if you have received other reports about the problem. I also know that lincoln no longer uses this system.
Rear ended vehicle. Explosion of airbag during deployment. Resulting in loss of hearing.tt
Intermittent flashing of the air bag light, due to unspecified reasons. Mjs
Air bag light comes on, dealer found the right and left crash sensors rotted off.
Driving vehicle about 35mph when everything, clock/radio/locks/windows/ air conditioning & instrument panel stopped working.have taken vehicle to dealer twice, but could not find the cause.
The power motors for the trunk and gas cap have never worked properly. The dealer would get it to work after two to three days it would stop again. At the end of 90 days or 3,000 miles they would know longer fix it. I can not find the numbers in the trunk that is surpose to help with getting a keyless entry code. How do i get that? the bad head gasket was discovered by a lincoln dealer before my warranty ran out but the dealer said it was not their responsibility. Probably because a fan motor switch was not workig day of purchase and air suspension shocks stoped working within 3 day of purchase. I had to pay half for the shockes. After all of these things i decided to do some research. The local dealer had done a number of head gasket repairs for models 3.8l v6 for year 89 - 94, considerbly more than any other makes. I checked with two otherengine repair shops. Their records also showed more repairs for that motor size in a lincoln than any other motor size. I found out from lincoln motors that they had a recall on 94 model engines because of over heating problems. That was also the last year 3.8l engines were used. I would like to know why only 94s were recalled and not a recall for all 3.8l made between 89-94. Data shows those motors had over heating problems causing bad head gaskets. I would like to be reembursted for the $1100.00 it cost me to repair my motor. Why did lincoln go back to putting v8 engines in their cars in 95? please forward all replys to my e-mail address.

Vehicle broke down while headed south i95 on 12/26/02 in peterburg,virginia. Forced to rent a car while being repaired.replaced head gaskets and ego sensor and peripheral work needed. Cost: $1,215.89 plus rental (stranded in va) $264.60. Total of $1,480.49.this is not a maintenance item, but a flaw in vehicle which ford-lincoln has acknowledged via a technical service bulletin.i believe later models 1994? were covered by ford for repair expense. Also my mileage is a 1000 over that for repair reimbursement. But this vehicle repair also should be covered by manufacturer because it is the same flawed 3.8 engine!
Vehicle experienced several engine problems, engine light came on, water pump and radiator were replaced due to a coolant leak, oil gauge goes high and low and oil light comes on, dealer replaced the ego sensor, head gasket leaking, dealer replaced the head gaskets, spark plugs, and cleaned the carbon from the pistons, motor mounts loose, oil pan and level sensor leaking, serpentine belt was cracked and replaced, engine and cooling system failures.
Coolant running out of the engine system.
No summary listed for abov evehicle.

3.8l aluminum v6 failure after dealer ignored situation three times...now dealer claims head gaskets failed after notification
Noise developed upon making a right hand turning maneuvers.dealer's, prognosis:both motor mounts cracked and separated.condition: causes belts torub due to lack of room in engine compartment.also,vibration in front wheels.
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?
Blown head gasket, caused coolant to leak into cylinders and steam to come out ot tail pipes. Dealers estimated cost to repair $1500.
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.
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.
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.
