Model years to avoid

Lincoln Town CAR

What it says about you

Opinion

Body-on-frame, enormous, and the default American limousine for a generation. Yours has done airport runs, whether you did them or not.

Not measured, not from the data, and offered in fun. Everything below this is not.

7 model years on record, 390 complaints filed. That is too few to measure against. Every finding on this site compares a year with the same model's other years, and that needs about 40 complaints in a year and 4 years to compare it with. This nameplate has 3. So nothing is claimed either way — the recalls and ratings below are the record, and they are the whole record.

The years to look at closely: 2007 (apply), 2006 (seat belt), 2005 (times). Everything else drew a normal number of complaints for this model.

Every year

  1. 2011 3 recalls 6 complaints
  2. 2010 3 recalls 13 complaints
  3. 2009 3 recalls 5 complaints
  4. 2008 3 recalls 20 complaints
  5. 2007 apply 84 complaints
  6. 2006 seat belt 143 complaints
  7. 2005 times 119 complaints
