LINCOLN Complaints

MY CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. I OPENED THE BACK HATCH TO ALLOW MY CHILDREN TO LOAD THEIR VIOLINS IN THE BACK BEFORE TAKING THEM TO SCHOOL. THE HATCH SUDDENLY CAME DOWN QUICKLY ON ITS OWN, SLAMMING DOWN. IT HIT MY SON'S ARM JUST AS HE PULLED AWAY FROM THE CAR. IT COULD HAVE CAUSED HIM GREAT BODILY HARM. EVERY TIME I PUSH THE REMOTE TO OPEN THE HATCH IT OPENS COMPLETELY THEN SLAMS BACK DOWN.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE INNER EDGE OF THE CHROME WHEELS BEGAN TO DETIORATE AND PIECES OF CHROME CHIPPED OFF CAUSING AIR TO LEAK FROM THE TIRES.

THE WHEELS ON MY 2008 LINCOLN MKZ ARE CORRODING TO THE POINT THAT THE TIRES ARE LOOSING AIR. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE TIRES TAKEN OFF THE WHEELS SEVERAL TIMES AND CLEANED THE RIM ONLY TO HAVE IT CONTINUE TO CORRODE AND LEAK AIR AGAIN. IT IS RUINING MY TIRES AND IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD NOT KNOWING HOW QUICKLY THE TIRES WILL GO FLAT. MY MKZ HAS ONLY 48,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED. I HAVE TRIED TO DEAL WITH LINCOLN, BUT THEY ARE NO HELP. I LOVE MY MKZ BUT AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH LINCOLN.

ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 2015 I BACKED MY CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE ON TO THE DRIVEWAY. AS I HOOKED MY SEAT BELT ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS IN DASH WENT OFF EXCEPT FOR THE AIRBAG LIGHT. ABOUT ONE-HALF MILES LATER, THE BEEPS STARTED. 5 BEEPS, THEN PAUSE. A TOTAL OF 25 BEEPS IN ALL. I SEE FROM OTHER COMPLAINTS IT DOES THAT EVERY 30 MINUTES. I HAD ONLY 53,500 MILES AT THE TIME. IT IS STILL LIKE NEW AND SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THOSE PROBLEMS. I SEE FROM ALL THE COMPLAINTS THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2004. I WOULD THINK A COMPANY AS LARGE AS YOURS WOULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT BEFORE NOW. I ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU WERE 'MAN ENOUGH' TO STAND BY YOUR PRODUCT. IT IS A CRYING SHAME!!!!! WE NEED A RECALL ON THIS. YOU ARE PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES IN DANGER!!!!! PLEASE RECONSIDER AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR CUSTOMERS.
