1997 Lincoln Continental Owner Comments

problem #1

Continental 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 58,635 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

4.6 litre V8 engine of my 1997 Lincoln Continental having 58,600 miles failed, and had to be completely replaced costing in excess of $5,000. This engine was maintained according to factory recommendations, and I have documentation evidencing oil and filter changes were performed accordingly. Ford Motor Company refused to extend the 50,000 mile warranty of this engine that has required that I file a lawsuit for recovery of compensory damages.
