Lincoln suspension problems

Owners have filed 1,235 complaints with NHTSA about the suspension on Lincoln vehicles — 7% of everything reported about the brand, across 22 models. The model that accounts for most of them is the Lincoln Town CAR, worst in 2003.

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.
