| 2000 | SUSPENSION:FRONT | I BROUGHT A 2000 LINCOLN LS FROM A DEALER BY THE NAME OF IMPORT AUTO SALES LOCATED AT 589 E 32ND ST. PATERSON NEW JERSEY 07513. WHEN I WAS TAKEN FOR A TEST DRIVE BY THE SALESMAN I QUESTION HIM ON A SQUEAKY BUMPY NOISE ON THE FRONT SIDE OF THE CAR . HE TOLD ME THAT THE TIRES NEEDED AIR AND THE ROAD IN THIS AREA IS VERY BUMPY. TO LATER FIND OUT THAT ON THAT MODEL CAR THERE WAS A BALL JOINTS RECALL . BEFORE I FOUND OUT THRU THE WEBSITE GOOGLE ABOUT THE RECALL I TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP ( LINCOLN FORD DEALER ) AND THE PRICE THEY GAVE ME WAS $4,000 INCLUDING LABOR. I HAD JUST FINISHED SPENDING $2,000 ON REGULAR MAINTENANCE WORK (TUNE-UP - OIL CHANGE - COOLING FLUSH- NEW ROTORS WITH BRAKES .AND OTHER REGULAR WORK THAT YOU NEED TO DO ON A CAR WITH OVER 100,000 MILES.NOW THE CAR IS PARK BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REPAIR IT. I WAS TOLD THAT IF I DRIVE IT WITH BAD BALL JOINTS THE WHEEL MIGHT BECOME SEPARATED AND GET INTO A FATAL CRASH THAT COULD KILL THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. *TR |
| 2001 | POWER TRAIN | CAR TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. NOW ONLY DRIVE AND REVERSE WORK, SO THE CAR STARTS OFF IN DRIVE AND ACCELERATES VERY SLOWLY. DOES NOT SHIFT TO OVERDRIVE OR DOWNSHIFT TO LOWER GEARS. REPLACED SOLENOID BLOCK FOR $400 AND HAVE IT IN TRANSMISSION SHOP NOW. MECHANIC CLEARS CODES, AND ALL FAILURE CODES THEN REAPPEAR THE MOMENT THE ENGINE IS STARTED. *TR |
