| 2002 | FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:DELIVERY:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS | THE PLASTIC TUBE THAT RUNS FROM "VMV" VALVE THROUGH TH ESTEEL LINE TO THE FUEL TANK (WHICH HOUSES THE GAS EMISSIONS) IS RUPTURED. ACCORDING TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC THIS IS A FAULTY DESIGN BY THE MANUFACTURER (LINCOLN-MERCURY) THAT AFTER THE TUBE IS REPLACED, IT WILL CONTINUE TO HAPPEN BECAUSE IT WILL RUB AGAINST THE OXYGEN SENSOR PLUG WHICH GETS VERY HOT. |
| 1997 | SEATS | THE SEATS ARE CRACKING. NLM |
