THE OTHER TIMES IT HAPPENED, I HAD BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED TRANSMISSION PARTS THE FIRST TIME BUT THEREAFTER COULD NOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM IN FACT THEY HAD GIVEN ME A TYPE OF COMPUTER TO ATTACH WHILE I WAS DRIVING SO THAT IF IT DID HAPPEN IT WOULD RECORD SOME FACTS THAT WOULD HELP THEM DETERMINE THE CAUSE. THIS COMPUTER STAYED ON FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO BUT IT DID NOT HAPPEN AT THAT TIME. THE WEEK BEFORE NOV 6, 2008, THE COMPUTER, WAS AGAIN PUT ON MY CAR.

VIA THE NET THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL DIVISIONS OF FORD'S LUXURY CARS 1998 TO 2007. YOUTUBE HAS SEVERAL HOW TO VIDEOS WITH 5,000 TO 15,000 HITS (KEYWORDS: LINCOLN TOWN CAR WATER LEAK). THE SHEER NUMBER OF VIDEO HITS GIVES INSIGHT TO HOW VAST THIS PROBLEM IS. THE GASKET THAT FORD MAKES FOR THESE CARS DETERIORATES. THE LEAK STARTS SLOW AND " MOLD SPREADS UNTIL SOMEONE SEES INCHES OF WATER IN THE REAR PASSENGER FLOOR. MY BUDDY FOLLOWED REPAIR VIDEO DIRECTIONS. NOW THE RIGHT REAR IS NICE AND DRY TO THE TOUCH*. STILL WAITING FOR THE FRONT TO DRY OUT*. NOW THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT AND REAR FLOOR IS WET. MY SHOES ARE SLIPPING OFF THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS. I'VE ONLY SEEN A FEW VIDEOS WITH DRIVERS SIDE LEAKS. FORD SHOULD RECALL ALL THEIR LUXURY CAR MODELS. MOLD AND YOUR FOOT SLIPPING OFF OF A BRAKE COULD PROVE FATAL. SO FAR I'VE LEARNED VIA THE NET THAT WATER ENTERS VIA AN O RING FOR SPEEDOMETER AND OR HOOD OPEN CABLE. NEXT IS GOOGLE AND YAHOO. *I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH RUST IF ANY HAS OCCURRED UNDER MY FLOOR BOARDS AND IF THERE IS ANY CHANCE CARBON MONOXIDE INHALATION MIGHT BE LOOMING. I HEAR THE ONLY SURE WAY TO REMOVE THE WATER IS TO REMOVE THE SEATS THEN THE ENTIRE CARPET, ATTEND TO THE RUST IF ANY AND ALLOW THE CARPETS TO SIT IN THE SUN FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG. FORD SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES AS FAR BACK AS THEY MADE THESE CHEAP GASKETS. IT'S AS IF THE ENGINEERS DESIGNED THE GASKETS AND O RINGS FOR AN INDOOR USE NOT GIVING ANY THOUGHT TO OUTDOOR ELEMENTS AND HEAT FROM AN ENGINE.

i purchased the 2007 towncar on 6/24/08, with 14,500 miles. the problem occurs when my shoe is half on the brake and the pedal will go down to where the gas pedal is. this has happened 6 or 7 time already, the harder you press the brake the faster you go. why does the brake pedal go down this far? my wife gets all shook up when this happens. i put the car in neutral and the car stops on a dime with the motor racing this looks like a design problem, why would you raise the brake and gas pedal at the same time, it would be better if you could raise or lower them one at a time. i have been driving for 50 years or more and never had this problem before. the last time this occurred was 8/28/08.

on the ventura freeway in heavy traffic on nov 6,2008. driving at about 30 miles per hour, traffic made it necessary to stop. the car, as it has done before, had unintended acceleration. this was about the fifth or sixth time it has happened in one year of my owning the car. the other times it happened, i had brought it back to the dealer and they replaced transmission parts the first time but thereafter could not determine the problem in fact they had given me a type of computer to attach while i was driving so that if it did happen it would record some facts that would help them determine the cause. this computer stayed on for about two weeks a couple of months ago but it did not happen at that time. the week before nov 6, 2008, the computer, was again put on my car. so now i was standing on the brake in the middle lane of heavy traffic with the car surging ahead with unintended acceleration. it happened again when i got off the freeway and the same unintended acceleration which could have caused terrible destruction of life and or property had to be constrained by me standing on the brake and pressing a button on the computer to register the effect. this town car is extraordinarily dangerous, i have had it back many times for the same problem, and i do believe it cannot be repaired and should not be driven, as to the pain and suffering it may very well be responsible for if it cannot be stopped.
