| 2002 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING | PURCHASED 2002 LINCOLN LS WITH THE V8 MOTOR AND GOT EXTENDED WARRANTY FROM MEPCO " VCS PREMIER" ULTIMATE WARRANT CORP. FOR PAST 2-3 YEARS THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN SHOP OVER 6 TIMES; 3 TIMES FOR OVERHEATING. FIRST 2 TIMES OF OVERHEATING THEY STATED THE FAN CLUTCH WAS BAD AND REPLACED IT AND IT SEEMED TO NOT RUN HOT AS OFTEN BUT STILL HAD SYMPTOMS.. NOW WE ARE WAITING TO FIND OUT WHAT THE NEW PROBLEM IS; IN THE MEANTIME THE WARRANTY IS ABOUT TO EXPIRE AND I FEEL I HAVE A LEMON CAR AND THE WARRANTY HAS YET PAID ME BACK FOR PAST FEW REPAIRS TO THIS CAR OWING US 726.17 AND IF THEY DON'T FIX THE PROBLEM I AM GOING TO END UP WITH A CAR NOTE IN REPAIRS ON THIS CAR SOON... *TR |
| 2002 | AIR BAGS | MY CAR HAS NUMEROUS PARTS THAT TEAR UP REPEATEDLY, WITHIN A 6 MONTHS TIME. VALVE COVER GASKET HAD REPLACED TWICE WITHIN A 6 MONTHS TIME. THE COIL PACKS GO UP VERY OFTEN. I HAD PANEL BUTTONS JUST TEAR UP FOR NO REASON THREE TIMES! WHEEL CAPS REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES. OVERHEATING ISSUES, DOOR LOCKING ISSUES, BATTERY REPLACED TWICE WITHIN 2 YEARS TIME. AC ISSUES, (I NEVER USED MY AC..AT ALL) . THIS CAR HAS A LOT OF PROBLEMS ON THE T.S.BULLETIN. I CONTACTED FORD IN REFERENCE TO THE MULTIPLE ISSUES I WAS HAVING WITH THE CAR, THE COMPANY REPRESENTATIVES TOLD ME TO TAKE THE COMPLAINT TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF WHICH I HAD BEEN DEALING WITH. THEN THEY SAID LINCOLN IS AN INDEPENDENT OWNED ESTABLISHMENT SO I AM TOTALLY CONFUSED BY THIS WHOLE ORDEAL, THEY KNOW THAT THEY HAVE HAD A LOT OF MULTIPLE PROBLEMS OUT OF THAT CAR. AND THEY REFUSE TO RECALL SOME OF THOSE (AS I WOULD SAY) HAZARDOUS ISSUES. I WAS AT THE DEALER 2 WEEKS AGO, I WAS CONVERSING WITH A REP. AT THE DEALERSHIP AND HE WAS TELLING ME HOW THE LINCOLN LS WAS THEIR MOST PROBLEM VEHICLE, AND CASH MAKER FOR REPAIRS. (OH BY THE WAY.......I RESEARCHED TO FIND THIS SITE. TO ANSWER THE QUESTION IN THE CONSUMER SECTION). *TR |
