LINCOLN Complaints

IN STATES WHERE ROAD SALT IS USED, FORD IS RECALLING CERTAIN VEHICLES WHERE THE LICENSE PLATE LAMP ASSEMBLY MAY EXPERIENCE AN ELECTRO-CHEMICAL REACTION AND CORROSION AS A RESULT OF WATER INTRUSION. FORD'S LIST OF RECALLED VEHICLES APPEAR TO BE VERY NARROW. MY 2007 LINCOLN MKX (THREE YEARS PRIOR TO THE CURRENT RECALL LIST) HAS THE SAME PROBLEM - ONE OF THE 2 LICENSE PLATE LIGHTS IS CORRODED AND QUIT WORKING (IT WAS RUSTED AND FELL APART WHEN I WENT TO REPLACE IT). I EXPECT THE OTHER LIGHT ISN'T FAR BEHIND. IF THERE IS AN INCREASED RISK OF FIRE, THE CURRENT RECALL SHOULD WARRANT A CLOSER LOOK AT ADDING MORE VEHICLES THAT USED THIS COMPONENT. RE: NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V285000 COMPONENT(S): EXTERIOR LIGHTING CONSEQUENCE: CORROSION MAY RESULT IN A SHORT CIRCUIT, INCREASING THE RISK OF A FIRE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 LINCOLN MKS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A COMPLETE STOP ON AN INCLINE, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE SURGED UNEXPECTEDLY. IN ADDITION, THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OCCURRED WHEN DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT ON A SEPARATE OCCASION THE VEHICLE SURGED AND CRASHED INTO A DOG. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, WHO WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A REMEDY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON I-95 NORTHBOUND AROUND WOOLBRIGHT ROAD, I RAN OVER TIRE DEBRIS AND CAUSED PART OF MY TIRE TO COME OFF. THE TIRE DID NOT GO FLAT AMAZINGLY, BUT I WILL DEFINITELY NEED A NEW TIRE. I HAVE A NAVIGATOR, SO LUCKILY IT DIDN'T CAUSE ANY MORE DAMAGE LIKE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

SAFETY ISSUE WITH AIR BAG/SEAT BELT. HAVE HAD BOTH DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SEAT BELTS REPLACED DUE TO AIR BAG LIGHTS COMING ON. BETWEEN THE TWO REPAIRS HAVE SPENT OVER $1,200. SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM SINCE THE AIR BAGS WON'T DEPLOY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1994 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE SUDDENLY DECREASED AND A CHIME SOUNDED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO LOCATE THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

WARNING LIGHT CAME ON BEEPED 5X IN A ROW SEVERAL TIMES STOPPED THEN REPEATED OVER AND OVER AS LONG AS WE WERE DRIVING. COST OVER 450.00 TO REPLACE SEAT BELT. THERE SEEM TO BE MANY OF THIS SAME PROBLEM LISTED. I HAVE HAD 7 TOWN CARS IN THE LAST 20 YEARS, NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. I HAVE ALREADY HAD A RECALL REPAIR ON THE STEERING COLUMN. BUT, STILL LOVE THAT CAR!!! *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT ABOUT 35 MPH WITH NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME ALL OF A SUDDEN THE COLLISION WARNING SYSTEM ACTIVATES. THIS FIRST STARTED 9/10/2013 AND CONTINUES TO BE A FALSE WARNING FROM TIME TO TIME UP THROUGH 7/23/2014, MILEAGE NOW 15125. GOING BACK TO DEALER AGAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LINCOLN MKX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INTERNAL COMPUTER IN THE MEDIUM OF THE VEHICLES DASHBOARD COMPLETELY MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS, WHO STATED THAT THE FAILURE DAMAGED THE COIL. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON AT ALL TIME AND BEEPS. DASH BOARD AND HEAD LIGHT COME ON AND GO OFF AT TIMES ON THEIR OWN. OIL CHANGE LIGHT REMAINS ON AT ALL TIMES EVEN WHEN THERE IS NOT A NEED FOR OIL TO BE CHANGED. *TR

ORIGINALLY I LOST THE CONTROL OF THE ADJUSTMENT OF REAR-VIEW SIDE MIRRORS. REPAIRED BY FORD NOW THE PASSENGER MIRROR WONDERS TO VIEW MY CARS IMAGE. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN CHANGING LANES, TO THE RIGHT SIDE. *TR
