TL* THE CONTACT LEASED A 2020 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPENING THE TRUNK FROM THE DASHBOARD AND UNLOADING GROCERIES FROM THE TRUNK, THE TRUNK LID INDEPENDENTLY CLOSED STICKING HIS HEAD. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THERE WAS NO CHIME AND THAT THE TRUNK WAS HEAVY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED HEAD AND SHOULDER INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT CALLED PALM SPRINGS MOTORS LOCATED AT 69-200 CA-111, CATHEDRAL CITY, CA 92234, AND INFORMED THEM OF THE FAILURE. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT DUE TO HIM HAVING THE KEY FOB IN HIS POCKET, THE COMPUTER UNDERNEATH THE BUMPER WAS ACTIVATED CAUSING THE TRUNK TO CLOSE OR THAT THE KEY FOB MIGHT BE DEFECTIVE. THE DEALER REFUSED TO BUY BACK THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160.

BALL JOINTS, OUTER TIE ROD ENDS AND STEERING SECTION GOES BAD, DOING A LOT OF POPPING AND CREAKING. *TR

THE VEHICLE WILL INITIALLY HAVE THE SPEED ODOMETER DROP TO 0 MPH WHILE STILL MOVING. A "WRENCH" LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE ALONG WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER AND NOT SHIFT PROPERLY. ONCE THE VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP, THE DRIVER MUST PUSH THE ACCELERATOR DOWN UNTIL THE TACH READS APPROX. 3000 RPMS BEFORE THE VEHICLE WILL START MOVING AGAIN. WHEN IT IS MOVING IT SHIFTS ERRATICALLY AND "BANG" THE GEARS. IF THE DRIVER, AFTER STOPPING, TAKES THE VEHICLE OUT OF DRIVE AND PUTS IN REVERSE, IT BANGS THE TRANSMISSION SO HARD IT FEELS IT GOING TO DROP OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED TO ME A NUMBER OF TIMES. THE IMAGE I ATTACHED I WAS GOING 55 MPH. *TR

NAVIGATOR SYSTEM, BLUETOOTH SYSTEM, ARE DISCONNECTED ALL THE TIME, IN THE MIDDLE OF ANY TRIP.

THERE'S BEEN A RECALL ON THE VALVE THAT OPERATES THE BREAKS FORD SAYS IT'S UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND CAN'T GIVE ME AN ANSWER WHEN THESE PARTS WILL BE IN. NOW I SIT HERE WITH A CAR I CANNOT DRIVE.

DRIVING CAR AND STOPPED TO GET GAS, BLANK INSTRUMENTAL PANEL WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR. THE PROBLEM WILL NOT RESOLVE UNLESS CAR IS TURNED OFF FOR A PERIOD OF TIME, HOUR OR LONGER.AFTER IT OCCURRED 5 TIMES MARCH - AUGUST 2019 AND HAS SINCE OCCURRED AGAIN DECEMBER 24 2019 AND APRIL 26 2020. "AIR BAG RESTRAINT FAULT" ALERT GOES OFF EVERY TIME. EACH TIME I HAVE HAD IT IN THE DEALERSHIP WITH NOTHING RESOLVED. IMPLEMENTED AND UPDATE IN AUGUST BUT ONLY AFTER I GOT FORD CORPORATE INVOLVED. I AM SO TIRED OF DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE AND IT'S NOT SAFE!

WITH MY CAR IN PARK, I HAVE SHIFTED TO DRIVE AND REVERSE, AND WHILE MAINTAINING MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AFTER TRANSFERRING TO DRIVE OR REVERSE THE CAR HAS MOVED BY ITSELF BY APPROXIMATELY 3 FEET BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED I WAS ON A LEVEL SURFACE. THE DEALERSHIP INSPECTED MY CAR BUT COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN.
