| 1985 | SUSPENSION:REAR:SPRINGS:AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM | HI MY CAR EXPERIENCED AN ELECTRICAL SHORT TO THE COMPRESSOR MOTOR FOR MY 1985 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL MARK VII. I CALLED FORD MOTOR DEALERS AND THEN FORD MOTOR CO. ALL OF THEM SAID THERE WAS NO RECALLS FOR MY 1985. I AM BEING LIED TO BY THEM AS I HAVE FOUND INFORMATION CONTRARY TO THEIR STATEMENTS TO ME. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER : 85V040000 I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED BRAKE PROBLEMS SIMILAR TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER : 86V109000. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH TO AT LEAST ACKNOWLEDGE THERE WERE RECALLS FOR MY MODEL. I DON'T APPRECIATE BEING LIED TO AND THEIR NEGLIGENCE COULD LEAD TO A DISASTER AND POSSIBLY A DEATH. I CONTACTED THEM ON MONDAY APRIL 24TH, 2006. *NM |

PARTS WERE REPLACED ONCE BY DEALER UNDER WARRANTY, AND OTHER PARTS WERE REPLACED BY AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP WITH DEALER PARTS. WOULD LIKE NHTSA TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. FEEL FREE TO PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION ON THIS MATTER.*AK |
