LINCOLN Complaints

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE CALLED THE LINCOLN DEALER IN VENTURA COUNTY (OXNARD) AND ALSO THE FORD DEALER IN THOUSAND OAKS AND ASKED TO BE PUT ON A WAITING LIST FOR AN AIR BAG. I HAVE NEVER HEARD BACK FROM EITHER ONE AND THIS HAS BEEN A FEW YEARS AGO.

F THE TURN SIGNAL CONTROL ARM IS MOVED PARTIALLY IN ANY DIRECTION, AND IMMEDIATELY MOVED INTO THE FULLY OPPOSITE DIRECTION, THE TURN SIGNALS WILL BE DISABLED. IF THE OPERATOR ADJUSTS THE HIGH BEAMS, OR SIMPLY MAKES A MISTAKE WHEN TRYING TO SIGNAL, (BY SELECTING THE WRONG DIRECTION FIRST) THE TURN SIGNAL WILL NOT OPERATE EVEN THOUGH THE CONTROL ARM IS IN THE FULLY LOCKED POSITION. LINCOLN SERVICE STATES THAT WHEN THEY CONNECT THE VEHICE TO THE COMPUTER, IT SHOWS THAT THE BLINKERS ARE ACTIVE, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE VISUALLY NOT BLINKING. THEY FURTHER STATED THAT THE ISSUE EXISITS ON ALL VEHICLES.

THE THROTTLE VALVE ASSEMBLY WAS BAD. THE CAR STOPPED RUNNING WHEN THE WIFE WAS DRIVING HIGHWAY 105 AT 50 MPH. SHE TURNED ON THE FLASHERS AND WAS ABLE TO GET OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY AFTER A SHORT TIME THE CAR WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AND DRIVEN BACK TO THE HOUSE. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN ABOUT TWO MONTHS LATER. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THE ENGINE STOPS WITH NO WARNING.

DOOR LATCH STICKS AND VEHICLE WON'T SENSE THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED. CLEARLY AN ISSUE FOR FORD BASED ON AN INTERNET SEARCH YET NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO HELP. DAUGHTER AT SCHOOL CAN'T GET INTERIOR LIGHTS TO GO OFF AND CAN'T LOCK DOOR BECAUSE THE CAR THINKS DOOR IS OPEN.
