LINCOLN Complaints

SEVERAL MONTHS AGO DRIVER SIDE DOOR HANDLE QUIT WORKING ON BOTH OF OUR CARS LESS THAN A MONTH APART(LINCOLN MKX 2012 ) - HAD TO OPEN DOOR FROM OUTSIDE, BOTH HAVE BEEN FIXED. ON MALE'S CAR - NOW PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR HANDLE WILL NOT RETURN TO PROPER POSITION AND DOOR WILL NOT LOCK. EVEN WITH OTHER DOORS LOCKED, PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR CAN BE OPENED FROM OUTSIDE. THIS WAS DISCOVERED WHEN PARKING CAR AND TRYING TO LOCK DOORS. SINCE DOOR CAN BE OPENED FROM OUTSIDE WHILE APPARENTLY IN LOCKED POSITION, THIS CREATES A SAFETY PROBLEM FOR THE WELFARE OF OCCUPANTS. (NOW WONDER HOW SOON BEFORE THIS HAPPENS TO OTHER DOORS ON CAR AND TO DOORS ON WIFE'S CAR.)

LOOKING THROUGH THE LIST OF COMPLAINTS THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED TO MANY TIMES TO BE IGNORED. I COUNTED 38 TIMES BY PAGE 15, NOT EVEN HALF WAY THROUGH THE LIST. I HAVE A 2003 LINCOLN TOWN CAR AND IS BEEN HAVING SOME ISSUES WITH THE DRIVER SIDE AXLE AND BEARINGS, I AM GETTING READY TO REPLACE THE SHAFT, BEARING AND SEAL FOR THE THIRD TIME IN A PERIOD OF THREE YEARS. LIKE SOME OTHER CUSTOMERS I FOUND THAT MY CAR IS NOT INCLUDED ON THE RECALL, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THAT PROBLEM IS A LOT MORE FREQUENT THAN IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE. THIS IS A PROBLEM AND ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED IT UNDER THE "SUSPENSION" CATEGORY.
