IT WAS DRIVING FINE ONE DAY UNTIL I WENT TO START IT. IT SAID ETC ENGINE FAIL SAFE MODE, CHECK PARKING BRAKE AND SOMETHING ABOUT THE GEARS. IT STARTS SOMETIMES, I'VE HAD IT SHUT DOWN WHILE DOING 50 MPH AND LOSE STEERING AND BAD BRAKING. THIS IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD FOR MY NEWBORN IN THE CAR. NOW IT WONT START AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. HOW CAN THEY SELL A CAR THAT THEY CANT FIND OUT THE PROBLEM ON THEMSELVES AND SELL IT? *TR

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE DRIVING OUR 2003 LINCOLN AVIATOR WHEN IT BASICALLY STOPPED GOING AND WOULDN'T CHANGE GEAR OR SPEED UP. (THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT'S GOTTEN STUCK IN GEAR, THE 1ST TIME WAS WHEN IT WAS PARKED AND WOULDN'T MOVE BUT THE GEAR SHIFT MOVED FREELY). WE GOT IT BACK HOME AND REALIZED AGAIN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT CABLE HAD COME DISLODGED. LINCOLN HAD A RECALL ON 25 VEHICLE REGARDING THIS PROBLEM, WHEN I CALLED I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WASN'T ONE OF THEM AND WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALL EVEN THOUGHT I'M HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. I'VE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE ONE HERE ONE TIME BEFORE AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THIS IS CRAZY. I COULD'VE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BEHIND THIS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 LINCOLN MKS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES TO COMPLETE A TURN AT 10 MPH, A LOUD METAL-ON-METAL NOISE WAS HEARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FRONT BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

THE CRUISE CONTROL MODULE STOPPED WORKING ON MY VEHICLE AND NOW I'M TOLD IT CAN'T BE REPLACED. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE RADIO & A/C STOPPED WORKING. THIS CRUISE CONTROL MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF IT'S ABILITY TO SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST THE CAR IN FLAMES AS IT DID ON MY 1996 LINCOLN TOWN CAR. WHY DOESN'T THE GOVERNMENT ENFORCE THE RECALL LAWS? *TR

STEERING STICKS AND VEHICLE BECOMES HARD TO TURN. WILL WORK NORMALLY THEN WILL STICK BECOMING ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THEN AS YOU TURN IT WILL STICK THEN RELEASE THEN STICK THEN RELEASE. SERPENTINE BELT IS IN NEW CONDITION. FILLED WITH POWER STEERING FLUID AND NOT LEAKING. BELT IS NOT SLIPPING ON PULLEY WHEN OCCURRING. I AM BRINGING TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR TODAY.
