Lincoln fuel system problems

Owners have filed 593 complaints with NHTSA about the fuel system on Lincoln vehicles — 3% of everything reported about the brand, across 23 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Lincoln Town CAR, worst in 1997.

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.
