LINCOLN Complaints

MY WIFE AND I WERE INVOLVED IN A COLLISION AFTER A WOMAN, WHO CLAIMS TO HAVE FALLEN ASLEEP, SIDESWIPED THE CAR IMMEDIATELY AHEAD OF US ON A 2-LANE ROAD. IN AN ATTEMPT TO AVOID A HEAD-ON COLLISION, I SWERVED OFF THE ROAD TO THE RIGHT. SHE ACCELERATED, TURNED LEFT AND GOT IN FRONT OF US AND WE COLLIDED WITH HE RIGHT FRONT FENDER AT THE WHEEL-WELL. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND THE FRONT END WAS CRUSHED. I WAS DRIVING AND MY LEFT ARM WAS BROKEN. THE LITTLE AIRBAG IN THE STEERING COLUMN HIT ME IN THE CHEST, BRUISED ME, AND CAUSED SEVERE PAIN. MY WIFE WAS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. HER SEATBELT WAS SECURELY FASTENED, BUT IT DID NOT HOLD HER IN PLACE AS IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO. ON IMPACT, SHE MET THE AIRBAG HALFWAY AND MOST OF HER RIBS WERE FRACTURED. FOUR (4) OF HER VERTEBRAE WERE FRACTURED, AS WAS HER RIGHT ANKLE. HER LUNGS WERE BRUISED AND ONE WAS PUNCTURED. HER LEFT KNEE HIT THE DASHBOARD AND DROVE HER FEMUR THROUGH HER PELVIS. SHE WAS TAKEN TO UMD SHOCK-TRAUMA CENTER WHERE SHE WAS INTUBATED, SEDATED AND PUT IN TRACTION FOR SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE A 7 HOUR SURGERY TO REBUILD HER HIP AND FEMUR. SHE WAS IN A FULL-TORSO CAST AND USED A WHEELCHAIR FOR >6 WEEKS. SHE IS STILL REBOUNDING FROM THE EFFECTS OF THE INEFFECTIVE SEATBELT, WHICH DID NOT WORK AS DESIGNED.

MY 2004 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR DROPPED DOWN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT. I TOOK IT TO A MECANIC AND HE SAID IT WAS THE HEIGHT SENSOR IN THE MEANWHILE WHILE THEY ORDERED THE PART AND A WEEK LATER IT GOT TO THE SHOP I DROVE IT AND OF COURSE WITH ALL THE BUMPING AROUND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DROPPED NOW THE LINCOLN REALLY BOUNCES I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP TO GET THE SENSOR INSTALLED WENT BACK TO PICK IT THEY TELL ME THAT WASNT THE PROBLEM NOW MY PUMP DONT WORK AND MY FRONT END IS REALLY LOW. NOW IM STUCK WITH NO SUSPENSION AND SOMETHING MORE THAN LIKELY IS GOING TO HAPPEN EITHER A BLOWN TIRE BECAUSE OF THE RUBBING ON THE TIRE WALL OR A CAR ACCIDENT. THIS IS MY DAILY DRIVER BACK AND FORTH TO WORK I ALSO AM AFRAID TO TAKE MY THREE CHILDREN ANYWHERE BECAUSE OF THIS. IM AND EMPLOYEE OF GM SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO A RECALL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO THE DRIVER AND OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL.

IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS MY 255/ 75 17 CONTITRAC TIRES 5 OF THEM HAVE BLOWN OUT OR COME APART IN SOME MANNER! THE LAST TIME A FEW DAYS AGO WAS PRETTY CLOSE TO A HIGH SPEED ACCIDENT 65MPH THERE IS AN ABSOLUTE MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THESE TIRES !! THIS IS THE SECOND SET THAT HAS BEEN ON THIS TRUCK~! CONTINENTAL NO LONGER MAKES THIS SIZE AND THEY ARE NON RESPONSIVE TO MY COMPLAINTS PLEASE HELP.

FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW WILL NOT OPEN OR CLOSE. IF ATTEMPTED, WINDOW WILL MAKE CRACKING NOISE.

WHEN AIR CONDITION IS SET BELOW 72, PASSENGER FRONT SIDE IS MAKING LOUD CLICKING NOISE FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE THEN GOES AWAY.

WHEN DRIVING FROM UP GRADE AT ABOUT 1200 RPM, THERE IS A RATTLE NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE

I GOT TO WORK AND I COULDN'T OPEN MY DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR TO EXIT THE CAR. I TRIED LOCKING AND UNLOCKING, USING THE KEY FAB TO LOCK AND UNLOCK AND EVENTUALLY I HAD TO CLIMB OVER THE PASSENGER SEAT AND EXIT VIA THE PASSENGER DOOR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 LINCOLN MKZ. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING AND EXCESSIVE FORCE WAS REQUIRED. AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE DROVE ONTO A CURB AND FRACTURED THE RIMS AND TIRES. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 29,000.
