This is the first of three incidents with this vehicle. On this occasion I was traveling downhill approximately 35 mph, one block from my home and the engine stalled. I lost all power and coasted to a stop. The car did start back up and I resumed my travel. The car was immediately taken to the dealer and the problem was checked out. The car was returned to me the next day. They were not able to duplicate the problem or give any explanation.
This is the second of 3 incidents with this vehicle. On this occasion I was accelerating onto the expressway. I was on the entrance ramp traveling 55 mph, when this vehicle lost all power for the second time in 6 months. I was able to maneuver to the right hand side of the ramp (with no power steering) and come to a stop. On this occasion I was close to being rear ended. The car did start back up and I returned home and contacted the Lincoln dealership. The vehicle went in for servicing and again they could not find anything wrong with the vehicle. The mechanic suggested that I never allow my vehicle to get below 1/2 tank before filling with gas.
Vehicle experienced sudden and complete engine stall at approximately 45 mph. Lost power steering, brakes, and control of vehicle became extremely difficult. After bring vehicle to safe stop on shoulder, it restarted.
