| Model year | COMPONENT | Complaint |
| 1996 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS:SWITCH | HEADLIGHT SWITCH GETS ABNORMALLY HOT WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. |
| 1996 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | WHILE SHIFTING FROM "DRIVE" TO "REVERSE" IN A PARKING LOT, THE TRANSMISSION "JUST FELL APART" ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT WHITTEN LINCOLN/MERCURY IN RICHMOND, VA. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED HAD THE VEHICLE BEEN MOVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION "FELL APART". PLEASE NOTE THE TRANSMISSION UNDERWENT REPAIR FOR A "PARK PAWL" DEFECT A YEAR EARLIER AND HAD THE REGULAR TRANSMISSION SERVICE ONLY A FEW MONTHS BEFORE THE FAILURE. |
