On 10/09/14, while parked, the vehicle was started and then all systems and engine went totally off. This happened for the first time two weeks ago while driving which was reported.

The fuel pump/sending unit that is in the front of the tank leaks fuel where the wires go into the unit. This is not contributed a gasket between the fuel pump unit and the tank. Repeat..it leaks thru the wires in the fuel pump/sending unit. We have grounded the vehicle at this time. We have a fleet of 6 lincoln town cars.on october 22 of 2015 we replaced one on another lincoln town car vin [xxx] thru a shop when i noticed a puddle of gasoline under the tank while it was stationary and parked in our parking garage and crawled under to inspect the source of the leak...that was coming from the fuel tank. This is a safety issue. I am reporting this because i do not want anyone to burn up because of it, with the knowledge that i am now reporting. I hope someone will contact me before i have it repaired to get it on the road.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'
This vehicle did not have a tether anchor installed in the driver's side position in the back seat. There were tether anchors installed in the center & passenger seats. There was the plastic cap on the driver's side, but lifting it up revealed no tether anchor. This is in violation with federal motor vehicle safety standard 213 & 225 which require all vehicles 2000 and newer (weighing less than 8,500 pounds) to have at least 3 tether anchors. This vehicle only had 2.

Power steering went out on vehicle. Vehicle had 39,000 miles. Power steering went out while vehicle was in motion on roadway making it very hard to steer and control.

When i opened the front passenger door, the interior handle stuck out when i pulled it and remained so. I could ont open the door. He dealer put a bolt in it to fix it but then it cracked around the bolt and i had to replace the door panel. Two years later (5/6/2017), the driver side door did the same thing. Handle stuck in up position and could not open the door. Am searching for a replacement because town car is discontinued and lincoln said they cannot help me. This is a dangerous situation. I understand that this exact issue is a recall for the navigator but not town car. Being unable to open a door is extremely dangerous and apparently a known issue by lincoln. I was told by the dealer (lincoln margate florida) that other customers had to buy replacement parts for this issue
