    THE PART FAILURE IS A CRACKED PLASTIC ARM ACTUATOR ATTACHED TO THE MOTOR THAT CONTROLS THE FLOW OF AIR TO THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER. WHEN THE PART CRACKED, THE BLEND DOOR MOTOR IS NOT ABLE TO DIRECT AIR TO THE WINDSHIELD DEFROSTER. I HAD THE PART REPLACED BY A LOCAL LINCOLN DEALER (THEY HAD TO REMOVE THE ENTIRE DASH BOARD TO REPLACE THE BLEND DOOR MOTOR AND ARM - NOT SOLD SEPARATLY) THIS YEAR. IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS DEFECT, AND IT OCCURS WITHOUT WARNING. MR

    THE WHEELS DEVELOPED STRESS CRACKS WITHIN FIVE MONTHS OF MY OWNING THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER AND A FORD REPRESENTATIVE EACH "LOOKED" AT THE WHEELS WITHOUT REMOVING THEM FROM THE VEHICLE AND INFORMED ME THAT THE STRESS CRAKING WAS CAUSED BY AN "OVER TORQUING" OF THE LUG NUTS. I HAVE ONLY HAD THE CAR SIX MONTHS AND I HAVE NEVER HAD THE FRONT WHEELS REMOVED. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE CRACKS ARE A RESULT OF "OVER-TORQUING" AND I AM SEEKING ANY ADDITIONAL FAILURE INFORMATION OF MY DESCRIPTION. I ALSO BELIEVE THE STRESS CRACK WILL CONTINUE TO WORSEN AND EVENTUALLY FAIL.*AK
