SuspensionEngine & cooling

The fan does not run. Caused the intake manifold to warp and the motor oil and antifreeze to bleed into eachother. Eventually the engine will crack if issue remains unaddressed. I did an online search and found a safety recall (#13508) for my 2006 lincoln towncar that involves the coolant aluminum bypass sticking shut and thus causing the fan not to kick on. However, when I searched safety recalls on lincoln and ford's official websites no information came up regarding that particular recall. Please advise. Thank you, [[redacted]] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.S.C. 552(B)(6). *Tr

Vehicle had experience approximately 6 times the trac control turning off while driving. Soon while accelerating onto freeway the light came on and then a load noise. The engine blew with no prior warning from any of the vehicle controls except for the trac control light. The car continues to sit in my garage because I do not have $5000.00 To fix it. *Tr

I just bought this car from a used dealer last month haven't driven 6 times yet and now this month it is stalling out we thought it was the fuel filter so we replaced that but now I tried driving it again and I got an error message saying "etc engine failure safe mode" the ca then began slowing down and I was unable to accelerate my speed. The car was also jerking as if it would cut off so. *Tr
