2009 Lincoln MKZ Problems & Complaints

Indicator light came on for passenger side airbag says it has recall and it looks as though the airbag is trying to come out of its compartment

The contact owns a 2009 Lincoln MKZ. The contact stated that while parked in a semi-truck parking lot, another driver was reversing where she was blocking, and the contact then attempted to avoid the collision and drive forward. The accelerator pedal was depressed however, the vehicle accelerated excessively, and the brake pedal was then depressed but failed to respond. Upon a second attempt, the brake pedal went to the floorboard, accompanied by an abnormal vibration. Consequently, the vehicle crashed into a tree. No warning lights were illuminated prior to the incident. The driver mentioned a previous incident where the vehicle reversed into a gate. The contact referenced NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V904000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The brakes had been checked previously and were reportedly functioning properly. During the crash, the air bags deployed, and the driver sustained a head injury but did not seek medical attention. No fire or police report was filed as the incident occurred on private property. The local dealer was contacted and mentioned an extended warranty. The dealer suggested towing the vehicle, but it was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted multiple times, including their legal department, but no response was received. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

2 years ago air bags were replaced on a recall notice. Last week dash board is showing a warning notice with the air bag(s) again. Is there another recall for the air bags? Do I have to pay for replacement?

My MKZ suddenly cut off without warning lamps or messages at highway speed. There was a very quick shudder and all power lost. After pulling onto the road shoulder and waiting a few minutes, it restarted and drove normally. I stopped about 15 minutes later and switched it off. When returning to the vehicle, it would not start. I had it towed to a garage where it has been for 6 weeks. They have been unable to identify the problem and get it restarted. Online reports by others indicate this occurred with other Lincoln products over a span of a few years with no assistance from Lincoln/Ford to identify the problem. This is a HUGE safety issue, as well an immediate personal inconvenience.

Complaint Lincoln 2009 MKZ air vent grid on dash board broke in various places and collapse also, it appears the dash board in front of air vent grid is raised. Causing the defroster to not work properly and the window shield does not clear properly. I was told to fix the problem the whole dash board needs to be replaced. I see this as a design and manufacturer defect and that Lincoln should repair at no cost to Lincoln owners. Lincoln is a Luxury line this should not be happening.

The contact owns a 2009 Lincoln MKZ. The contact received notifications of NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 19V904000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) and 21V158000 (Air Bags) however, the parts to do the recall repair were not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

BRAKE PEDAL FAILURE 7 MONTHS AFTER BRAKE FLUID RECALL WAS DONE.

The Lincoln Mercury factory chrome plated rims leak air all the time making the tires low on air or flat very often! This is a very dangerous safety hazard that can cause loss of control and having an accident resulting in serious bodily injury or death! There are many numerous other Lincoln car owners that report the same symptoms and problems. The manufacturer never plated the rims properly with nickle prior to chrome plating, thus the chrome coating constantly peels off and corrodes; thus air leaks past the tire bead and the rim surface. This sounds like a giant class action lawsuit!! I am are both very upset and scared to drive under these horrific conditions, but I have no choice as news factory rims are very expensive and I cannot afford them since I am disabled and on a fixed income.

Leaking brakes had to be fixed twice before recalled parts were available. When the last repair was done, dealership said they would reimburse us (since we paid full price) recalled parts labor that we had to pay for since they were on the recall. This has never happened even though we have tried multiple times to remedy. Dealership says they sent in paperwork to Ford twice for the reimbursement as they don't do that. Ford Motor Company says they dont do it that it is up to the dealer. In summary, recalled brakes were finally repaired but we had to pay full price for them though it says parts and labor would be free.

The contact owns a 2009 Lincoln MKZ. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V904000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer for the recall repair and the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) was tested but failed. The dealer informed the contact that the HCU part for the recall repair was not available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and informed the contact that they had difficulties obtaining the part for the recall repair. The failure mileage was 22,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE OWNING THIS CAR, THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS GONE ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AFTER ACTIVATION OF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. THE BRAKING DISTANCE INCREASES DRAMATICALLY WHILE THE PEDAL REMAINS VERY SOFT. IT EVENTUALLY (A FEW HOURS MAYBE) RETURNS TO NORMAL FUNCTION. WHILE DRIVING IN THIS CONDITION, IT FEELS AS IF THE CAR WILL NOT STOP BUT IT EVENTUALLY DOES, BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL MUST BE PUSHED ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 LINCOLN MKZ. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V001000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT DID NOT WANT TO WAIT TWO WEEKS TO SCHEDULE A RECALL REPAIR APPOINTMENT. WEST HERR FORD OF AMHERST (2600 MILLERSPORT HWY, GETZVILLE, NY 14068, (716) 810-1319) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY.

TAKATA RECALL> NOTICE 16S26 / NHTSA RECALL 16V-384< I WAS NOTIFIED BY MAIL OF A RECALL OVER 5 YEARS AGO ON THE INFLATOR OF MY PASSENGER AIRBAG BUT FORD HAD NOT YET ARRIVED AT A DECISION ON HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. NOTIFICATION WOULD BE SENT WHEN THEY HAD A RESOLUTION. I BEGAN TO REGULARLY FOLLOW UP WITH DEALERSHIPS INQUIRING ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR MY CARS RECALL, BUT WAS REPEATEDLY TOLD THEY WERE STILL WAITING FOR ANY PARTS TO BE PROVIDED TO THEM. RECENTLY, JULY 2018, I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM FORD STATING THAT "A REPAIR IS AVAILABLE FOR YOUR VEHICLE" IN BIG RED LETTERS. IT GOES ON STATING "PARTS ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR YOUR VEHICLE". DETAILS OF RECALL AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR ME TO SCHEDULE MY CAR FOR SERVICE LED ME TO CALL MY LOCAL DEALER TO SCHEDULE A FREE REPAIR. UNFORTUNATELY, THE SERVICE DEPT INFORMED ME THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG MODULES (AS OF OCTOBER 2018) SO ONCE AGAIN, I AM LEFT WAITING FOR A RESOLUTION AFTER 5 OR MORE YEARS OF WAITING. FORD WAS GIVEN MORE THAN ADEQUATE TIME TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. IF THE PROBLEM WAS SERIOUS ENOUGH TO PROMPT A FULL PRODUCT RECALL, AND FORCE FORD TO PAY $299.1 MILLION SETTLEMENT IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, THEN IT IS SERIOUS ENOUGH THAT FORD SHOULDN'T STILL HAVE ALL OF THE UNSAFE VEHICLES WAITING FOR PARTS.FURTHERMORE, FOR FORD TO PREMATURELY NOTIFY OWNERS THAT PARTS ARE READY FOR INSTALLATION IN THEIR LOCAL DEALERSHIP SERVES TO PROVE THEY DON'T TAKE THE MATTER SERIOUSLY (SINCE THE VEHICLES ARE 10 YEARS OLD NOW) AND RESPECT FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS IS NOT A PRIORITY. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND HOLD FORD ACCOUNTABLE BY TAKING ACTION, A DEADLINE SHOULD BE DESIGNATED WITHIN WHICH FORD MUST FURNISH PARTS AND BEGIN SERVICING AFFLICTED VEHICLES.I BELIEVE CORPORATIONS SHOULD BE HELD TO A HIGHER LEGAL STANDARD BECAUSE OF THEIR LIKELINESS TO CAUSE NEGLIGENT INJURY ON A MASSIVE SCALE.

NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN FEBRUARY 2018 AND CANNOT GET IT CORRECTED. THE LINCOLN/FORD AGENCY IN SOUTHAMPTON, NY SAYS THE PARTS ARE ON ORDER. THIS HAS BEEN SINCE FEBRUARY!! SO EVERY 2 OR 3 WEEKS I AM SUPPOSED TO CALL AND SEE IF THEY ARE IN YET. SO FAR---NOTHING.

HAVING A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS AIRBAG IN MY VEHICLE AND WHAT COULD HAPPEN SHOULD IT DEPLOY IS CAUSING ME A GREAT DEAL OF STRESS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND/OR HAVE MY BELOVED FAMILY RIDE IN THIS VEHICLE. AND, I AM GROWING WEARY AND AGITATED WITH THE EXCESSIVELY LONG WAIT FOR A REPLACEMENT AIRBAG. WHAT ACTION IS BEING DONE TO EXPEDITE THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS IN AFFECTED VEHICLES? HOW MUCH LONGER MUST ONE WAIT FOR THIS TO BE RESOLVED? PLEASE LET ME KNOW SOMETHING REGARDING A TIMELINE FOR RESOLUTION/REPLACEMENT. I WANT THIS AIRBAG REPLACED ASAP. THANKS

TAKATA RECALL IN MARCH OF 2017 I RECEIVED A LETTER BY MAIL FROM THE LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY ALERTING ME OF AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL. IN OCTOBER OF 2017 I RECEIVED A LEGAL NOTICE BY MAIL FROM TK HOLDINGS INC. INSTRUCTING ME TO CONTACT MY NEAREST DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY TO SCHEDULE A FREE REPAIR. I LOOKED FURTHER INTO THE MATTER VIA WWW.AIRBAGRECALL.COM TO VERIFY THE STATUS OF THIS RECALL ONLY TO DISCOVER "RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE." THE REASON FOR THIS FORMAL COMPLAINT IS SIMPLE. I USE THIS VEHICLE AS MY DAILY DRIVER, MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, WITH PASSENGERS. I AM SIMPLY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY, OTHER POTENTIAL PASSENGERS AND MYSELF. I REGISTERED MY EMAIL ADDRESS WITH TKRESTRUCTURING.COM/PPIC TO HOPEFULLY BE KEPT INFORMED ON THE MATTER. I BELIEVE 10 MONTHS TIME FROM WHEN THE RECALL WAS RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC IS ENTIRELY TOO LONG TO ALLOW CUSTOMERS TO OPERATE A POTENTIALLY LETHAL VEHICLE WITHOUT REMEDY. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT I RECEIVE QUICK AND JUST ACTION TO FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE A LIFE ALTERING EVENT COULD TAKE PLACE. THANK YOU FOR, THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN, AS WELL AS YOUR TIME AND EFFORT.

YOUR RECALL STATUS SITE SAYS TO FILE A COMPLAINT IF I HAVEN'T RECEIVED A REMEDY FOR THIS RECALL IN A TIMELY MANNER. WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? WAIT FOR AN ACCIDENT AND DEATH? FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THERE IS NO REMEDY BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET THE PARTS. I DON'T FEEL SAFE HAVING ANYONE IN THIS VEHICLE WITH ME.

TAKATA RECALL DEALER TELLS ME THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE PARTS. I WISH TO JOIN CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT BEFORE THE DATE TO FILE RUNS OUT DUE TO LACK OF PARTS ON DEC 27TH 2017

"TAKATA RECALL" RECEIVED RECALL FOR PASSENGER AIRBAG IN MARCH,2017. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE NOW AND THEY CANNOT GIVE A TIME WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE. TAKATA HAS NOW FILED BANKRUPTCY. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I DID NOT BUY THE CAR FROM TAKATA, I BOUGHT IT FROM A LINCOLN DEALERSHIP. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY LINCOLN CAN'T GET ANOTHER AIRBAG FOR REPLACEMENT. IT IS NOW OCTOBER 20,2017. THEY HAVE HAD ENOUGH TIME FOR THIS RECALL. I AM FEARFUL OF A PASSENGER RIDING IN THE CAR IF THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG SHOULD ERUPT AND KILL OR INJURE SOMEONE. I CAN'T SELL THE CAR. WHO'S GOING TO BUY A CAR WITH A RECALL FOR A TAKATA AIRBAG?

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 16S26/NHTSA RECALL 16V-384 IN JULY 2016. SINCE I HAVEN'T RECEIVED NOTICE THAT SAID REPAIRS COULD BE DONE, I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY STATED THEY HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED PARTS FOR REPAIRS. THIS HAS BEEN 15 MONTHS. I DON'T CONSIDER THIS TO BE TIMELY.

DUE TO POOR WHEEL CONSTRUCTION, THE CHROME PLATING ON THE LINCOLN OEM WHEELS FLAKES OFF RESULTING IN A FAILURE OF THE TIRE TO SEAL PROPERLY AGAINST THE WHEEL. THIS FAILURE TO SEAL AGAINST THE WHEEL CAUSES A PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AIR LEAK ON EVERY WHEEL. IF AN OWNER OF THIS CAR IS NOT AWARE OR OBSERVANT OF THE CONSTANTLY DECLINING AIR PRESSURE, THEY COULD DRIVE ON DANGEROUSLY UNDER INFLATED TIRES, AND POTENTIALLY EXPERIENCE CATASTROPHIC TIRE FAILURE. IN PARTICULAR, THE WHEELS ON MY MKZ LEAK TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT EVERY MORNING, I HAVE TO GO OUTSIDE AND PUMP THEM UP TO THE PROPER PSI. BUYING NEW LINCOLN WHEELS WOULD RESULT IN THE SAME PROBLEM AS THEY ARE ALL AFFECTED BY THE SAME MANUFACTURING DEFECT. MANY OWNERS HAVE RESULTED TO BUYING AFTERMARKET WHEELS, WHICH I SEE AS UNACCEPTABLE AS THE ORIGINAL WHEELS SHOULD FUNCTION PROPERLY AND REMAIN RELIABLE FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE.

DOOR HANDLES (INSIDE) DYSFUNCTIONAL AFTER NORMAL USAGE. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR HANDLES AFTER THEY BOTH QUIT OPENING THE DOORS. NOW BOTH DRIVER SIDE DOORS NEED REPLACED AGAIN. THIS PRESENTS DANGER IN THE EVENT OF NEEDING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE DUE TO ACCIDENT OR EMERGENCY. I CAN POTENTIALLY SEE RISK OF DEATH OF ME AND OR MY PASSENGERS DUE TO THIS FAULTY EQUIPMENT.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE LETTER FROM LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY DATED JULY, 2016. THE LETTER STATED MY VEHICLE WAS IDENTIFIED IN THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL AND THAT WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE I WILL BE NOTIFIED BY LETTER. IT HAS BEEN OVER 7 MONTHS AND STILL NO LETTER NOTIFYING OF PARTS AVAILABILITY OR FOR ME TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR. HOW MUCH LONGER BEFORE THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE?? IT IS STRESSFUL WAITING FOR THIS REPAIR, ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAVE LOVED ONES RIDING WITH ME THAT CAN BE INJURED OR WORSE DUE TO FAULTY AIR-BAGS. A 7 MONTH WAIT IS A BIT RIDICULOUS. ALSO, I'VE INQUIRED WITH MY LOCAL LINCOLN DEALER AND HAVE BEEN INFORMED THE REPAIR WILL TAKE 4 HOURS. LINCOLN OR TAKATA SHOULD PROVIDE ME WITH A RENTAL WHILE MY VEHICLE IS BEING REPAIRED. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT AT THE DEALER 4 HOURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS REPAIRED DUE TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN. THANKS FOR READING. I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR RESPONSE/UPDATE ON THIS RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL. IN THE MONTH OF JULY 2016 I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY, DATED JULY 2016 STATING "WHEN PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE FOR SAFETY RECALL 16S26, THE LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY WILL NOTIFY YOU VIA MAIL TO SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT WITH YOUR DEALER TO HAVE THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED." TWO PHONE CALLS TO DEALER ON 8/8/16 REGARDING THIS MATTER HAVE NOT BEEN RETURNED AS OF 11/9/16. FOUR MONTHS SEEMS TO BE A LONG TIME TO GET THIS ISSUED CORRECTED AS IT PUTS MEMBERS OF MY FAMILY IN HARMS WAY ANYTIME I DRIVE THE CAR WITH A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT. HOW LONG IS THIS EXPECTED TO TAKE FOR PARTS TO BE AVAILABLE AND THEN HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE FOR THE DEALER TO HANDLE THE REPLACEMENT? FOUR MONTHS OF A KNOWN SAFETY HAZARD NOT BEING FIXED IS TOO LONG IN MY OPINION.

THE DOOR HANDLE ON THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR BROKE, WHICH WOULD NOT ALLOW THE LOCKING MECHANISM TO WORK.. UNABLE TO LOCK THE CAR DOOR EITHER MANUALLY OR BY USING THE REMOTE FOB. WAS ABLE TO OPEN & CLOSE THE DOOR, JUST COULD NOT LOCK IT. THIS HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. I UNDERSTAND THIS SAME PROBLEM EXISTS ON THE FORD FUSION. WE HAD THE PART REPLACED TODAY AT THE COST OF $113.01.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 LINCOLN MKZ. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, THE INTERIOR DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE FAILED TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE OPENED FROM THE OUTSIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

THE AWD PTU UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ON MY CAR TWICE IN UNDER 85,000 MILES AND JUST OVER 6 YEARS. THE FIRST TIME WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 51,000 MILES AND THE SECOND TIME WAS JUST AROUND 85,000 MILES. BOTH TIMES, I NOTICED A DARK OIL SPOT ON MY CEMENT DRIVEWAY. THE SECOND TIME, I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS AN OIL LEAK, SINCE I HAD JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE AND DIDN'T MAKE AN APPOINTMENT RIGHT AWAY BUT THEN REALIZED IT WAS TOO DARK FOR OIL AND WAS ACTUALLY THE PTU UNIT AGAIN. WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I DIDN'T NOTICE THE LEAKING GEAR OIL AND THE UNIT SEIZED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY? I WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL OF THE CAR. WHAT KIND OF SERIOUS DAMAGE WOULD THAT HAVE DONE TO THE CAR? TO ME AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD? IT'S A POTENTIAL ROAD HAZARD. WHAT DAMAGE HAS IT ALREADY DONE TO THE TRANSMISSION THAT I HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IN THE FUTURE? IT SEEMS TO BE A DESIGN FLAW IN THE CAR. IT IS SPECULATED THAT THE CAUSE OF THE REPEATED FAILURES IS DUE TO A TOO SMALL OIL WELL (UNDER A PINT) OR THAT IT'S PLACED TOO CLOSE TO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER THAT DESTROYS THE SEAL, WHICH THEN REQUIRES THE ENTIRE UNIT BE REPLACED AT A SIGNIFICANT COST. SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN 85,000 MILES, I AM CONCERNED IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. IN ADDITION, FORD HASN'T PROVIDED A FIX TO THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD MULTIPLE TIMES ABOUT THEM PROVIDING A FIX OR TO AT LEAST LOOK INTO IT AND THEY'VE TOLD ME THEY HAVEN'T RECEIVED MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT. I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE BECAUSE IF YOU SEARCH ON-LINE, THE PTU FAILING SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD AND LINCOLN AWD CARS. MANY CARS HAVE NEEDED TO HAVE IT REPLACED MORE THAN ONCE - ONE UP TO 5 TIMES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR REVIEW *TR

GREETING....ON TWO PREVIOUS OCCASIONS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE DUE TO THE WARNING INDICATOR/LIGHT RELATIVE TO DRIVER'S SEAT BELT/AIR BAG. ON BOTH OCCASIONS THE MATTER WAS CORRECTED. HOWEVER TODAY 12 OCT. 2014 THE VEHICLE BEGAN EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE FIRST TIME THE TECH REPORTED THAT PERSONS RIDING BEHIND THE DRIVER DID/MAYBE CAUSED THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE WIRING HARNESS IS EXPOSED. THE SECOND INCIDENT IN WHICH THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN I WAS INFORMED THE PROBLEM SHOULD NOT OCCUR IN THE FUTURE.THAT LAST REPAIR WAS SOME 10-15 MONTHS AGO. HOWEVER TODAY WHEN THE PROBLEM LIGHT CAME ON THERE WERE NO ONE SEATED BEHIND THE DRIVER. IT APPEARS THERE IS/WAS A FLAW IN THE DESIGN CAUSING A POTENTIAL DANGER TO OCCUPANTS OF THIS VEHICLE.

REPAIR SHOP HAD TO ORDER PART FROM A LINCOLN DEALER (25 MILES AWAY). THE PART WAS DELIVERED ON TUESDAY, JULY 23, 2013. AFTER REPLACEMENT OF THIS PART ($1,583.73) THE CAR WAS TESTED AND AVAILABLE FOR PICKUP ON WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 2013. ON THURSDAY, JULY 25, 2013, MY NEPHEW DROVE FROM CLOVIS, CA. TO PISMO BEACH, CA. AND PICKED UP MY CAR. I AM 72 YEARS OLD AND HAVE PURCHASED LINCOLN PRODUCTS FOR YEARS AS IT HAS BEEN A RELIABLE PRODUCT FOR ME. I WAS 200 MILES AWAY FROM HOME (CLOVIS, CA.) WHEN THE CAR FAILED. SINCE I AM ON DIALYSIS 3 TIMES A WEEK (MONDAY-WEDNESDAY-FRIDAY), I HAD NO CHOICE BUT THE INCUR THE COST OF A RENTAL VEHICLE TO GET ME BACK HOME FOR MY DIALYSIS CARE ON MONDAY. IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING TO ME THAT A 4 YEAR OLD CAR WITH ONLY 22,067 MILES ON IT, HAD THIS KIND OF FAILURE. I WOULD NOT EXPECT THAT FROM A LINCOLN PRODUCT. *TR
