Lincoln brake problems

Owners have filed 1,758 complaints with NHTSA about the braking system on Lincoln vehicles — 9% of everything reported about the brand, across 24 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Lincoln Town CAR, worst in 1995.

These are raw counts. A model that sold in millions appears near the top for that reason alone — the grade never compares one model with another.
