Lincoln electrical problems
Owners have filed 1,936 complaints with NHTSA about the electrical system on Lincoln vehicles — 10% of everything reported about the brand, across 24 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Lincoln Town CAR, worst in 1992.
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.
