PLEASE PASS SAFETY REGULATIONS FOR KEYLESS IGNITIONS. BOTH MY PARENTS DIED FROM THIS, YOU HAD THE CHANCE IN 2011 TO DO IT AND 6 MORE PEOPLE HAVE DIED IN THIS MANNER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 LINCOLN NAVIGATOR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR MIDDLE ROW CENTER SEAT BELT INDEPENDENTLY UNLATCHED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,569.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1996 LINCOLN TOWN CAR. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND AN UNKNOWN CLICKING SOUND WAS HEARD FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL WHEN MAKING A TURN. THE FAILURE OCCURRED CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT BALL JOINTS FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 98V322000 (SUSPENSION). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

UPDATE TO LAST COMPLAINT: THE PASSENGER SIDE HID HEADLIGHT HAS FAILED, NO REPLACEMENT EXCEPT $1000 CONVERSION KIT. HAVE TO DRIVE WITH ONLY "BRIGHTS" ON FROM NOW ON. DANGER TO MYSELF AND THOSE I'M PASSING, PLUS IF THE "BRIGHTS" AREN'T ON, THEN I HAVE NO HEADLIGHTS AND COULD GET PULLED OVER. PASSENGER SIDE BALL JOINT/CONTROL ARM BROKE WHILE DRIVING AND TIRE FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING IN PARKING LOT AT WORK. AFTER REPAIR, HEARING A BAD CREAKING NOISE. AIR SUSPENSION HAS TO FILL UP ALL THE WAY WHEN I START THE VEHICLE EVEN AFTER 5 MINUTES OF IT BEING SHUT OFF. HAVE PAID $1,200 FOR REPAIRS OF SUSPENSION AND STEERING IN 6 MONTHS. (THAT'S WITH MY DEALERSHIP EMPLOYEE DISCOUNT). SERIOUSLY, I'VE HEARD TOO MUCH ABOUT DEFECTIVE BALL JOINTS, HEADLIGHTS, NO HEAT, DOOR HANDLES SNAPPING OFF, AND THE AIR SUSPENSION GOING BAD. WHY IS FORD NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THESE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE PARTS??? BECAUSE THE CAR IS RARE AND THEY DON'T MAKE THEM ANYMORE???

THE DASH LIGHT TELLS US THE PASSENGER DOOR IS AJAR ALL THE TIME (WHILE DRIVING AND PARKED) AND SOMETIMES IT SHOWS THE DRIVER DOOR IS AJAR WHEN, IN FACT, THE DOORS ARE SHUT. THE DASH LIGHTS AND EXTERIOR REAR VIEW MIRROR LIGHTS STAY LIT A LONG TIME AFTER THE CAR IS PARKED AND THE LIGHTS ARE TURNED OFF. THE HORN (ALARM) WILL START HONKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT OR WHEN IT SITS IN A PARKING LOT FOR AN HOUR OR SO AFTER IT IS PARKED AND WE WILL HAVE TO FIND THE KEYS TO SHUT IT OFF. VERY ANNOYING AND EMBARRASSING WHEN SITTING IN CHURCH AND THIS HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE OF A SERMON OR PARKED AT A MOTEL AND THE ALARM GOES OFF AT 2 A.M. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. WE ARE ANNOYED AND ANGRY AND DON'T WANT TO PAY HUGE SUMS OF MONEY FOR THEM TO KEEP RUNNING TESTS AND TELLING US "NOTHING IS WRONG", WHEN IT IS! HOW DO WE RESOLVE THIS?

FOLLOW UP ON INITIAL COMPLAINT; I CAUGHT 1 BEFORE A BLOW OUT. 3 MORE TO GO. LAWYERS WON'T HANDLE IT, BECAUSE IT DIDN'T DO ANY INJURY OR KILL ME. NHTSA IT A WASTE OF TAXPAYERS MONEY. I HAVE TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL TO LEARN THIS NEW GENERATION. OR IS THERE A BETTER COUNTRY TO MOVE TO.
