LINCOLN Complaints

I STARTED MY TOWN CAR AND THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND THEN THE LIGHT REMAINED CONSTANT. THE SERIES OF CHIMES THEN STARTED AND STOPPED AFTER THE FIFTH SERIES. THIS HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE REMAINED IN PARK.

MY CAR IS ON RECALL FOR FAULTY AIR BAG ON PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR. I RECEIVED A LETTER TELLING ME I WOULD BE NOTIFIED OF WHEN AND WHERE TO GO FOR REPLACEMENT. THAT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR NOW AND I'M STILL WAITING. I WORRY ABOUT THIS PROBLEM EVERY TIME I RIDE IN MY CAR. PLEASE ADVISE---

THE TIRES WON'T HOLD A SEAL AND HAVE CONTINUALLY SMALL AIR LEAKS. I HAVE TO KEEP FILLING MY TIRES WITH AIR EVERY WEEK OR SO. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 3 DIFFERENT TIRE PLACES AND ALL SAY THE SAME THING THING, THE TIRES ARE GOOD, WHEELS ARE NOT BENT, AND THAT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH MY CAR THAT THE CHROME ERODES OFF AND IT WILL NOT HOLD A SEAL. EVERY SINGLE PLACE HAS SAID THE SAME THING AND I CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME EXPERIENCE. THEY WILL CLEAN OFF THE RIM AND RESEAL IT AND SAY AS LONG AS THE CHROME WHEELS KEEP ERODING IT WILL CONTINUE AND IT IS SO TRUE!

MY SUNROOF FLEW OFF WHILE ENTER ONTO THE HIGHWAY IT HIT STRUCK GUARDRAIL AND SHATTERED INTO A MILLION PIECES.

THE DECORATIVE SILVER STRIPS ON THE DASHBOARD UNDERNEATH BOTH OF THE DASH AIR VENTS CAUSES A MAJOR REFLECTION IN BOTH THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER SIDE VIEW MIRRORS WHEN DRIVING IN BRIGHT SUNLIGHT. THIS IS A MAJOR DISTRACTION AND IN TRAFFIC COULD CAUSE YOU TO MISS SEEING A VEHICLE BESIDE YOU. THESE STRIPS NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH THE FAUX WOOD LOOK ON SOME OF THE MKC MODELS. CAN'T BELIEVE THEY NEVER NOTICED THIS IN THE DESIGN PROCESS. IS NOTICABLE WHEN PARKED OR IN MOTION. HAPPENS EVERYDAY IF THE SUN IS SHINING

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE COME VERY CLOSE TO GETTING INTO SERIOUS ACCIDENTS WITH MY 2015 LINCOLN MKC. THE VEHICLE HAS A MAJOR BLIND SPOT FROM FROM THE FRAME COWEL THAT LEADS DOWN FROM THE ROOF COVERING THE OUTER EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD. INSIDE THE VEHICLE IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE ONCOMING TRAFFIC IF YOU'RE LOOKING LEFT. IF A MOTOR CYCLE, MOTOR SCOOTER OR BICYCLIST IS APPROACHING FROM YOUR RIGHT SIDE, YOU MAY NOT SEE HIM OR HER. I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, INTENDING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN. FOR SOME REASON I TOOK AN EXTRA SECOND TO STOP. I DID NOT SEE THE MOTOR SCOOTER AND HE WOULD HAVE T-BONED MY CAR IF I HAD JUST PULLED OUT ASSUMING THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC COMING.
