The contact owns a 2000 Lincoln Continental. While attempting to drive in reverse, the contact heard a loud noise. He inspected the vehicle and noticed that the driver's side suspension system failed. The vehicle was towed and a technician repaired the driver's side strut, spring, and tire. One year later, the front passenger side suspension system failed while driving in reverse. The vehicle was towed to a dealer and the front passenger side sway bar, spring, strut, and tire were repaired at the cost of over $1,000. The contact has supporting documentation of the vehicle's repair history. The failure mileage was 97,000 and current mileage was 113,881. Updated 09/23/08 the left air bag air suspension had blown. The second time the failure happened, the consumer was backing out of a parking space and heard a noise. The consumer discovered the left front suspension spring had broken just like the first failure. Updated 09/25/08.
