| On march 7, 2005, i was driving in reverse out of my driveway in our 2000 lincoln continental. i heard a horrible grinding noise and a loud explosion as the right front tire blew. we tried to change the tire and it was discovered that coil spring had sheared in half, and exploded into the tire. we had to have the car towed, as it was undriveable. the mechanic at the ford dealership where we purchased the car recommended that we replace the other three coil springs as well becuase he said that ford had a recall on the part in mercury sables and ford taurus' but hadn't recalled it for lincolns. he said he had seen a number of the same type of part failure in lincolns. the place where we went to purchase a new tire (the one ruined by the defective coil spring was brand new) said they had seen fifty to sixty customers with the same problem in recent months and five customers in the previous two weeks with lincolns. the mechanic who did the work on the car confirmed that they had seen many of the same types of problems in recent weeks. we called the ford motor company and said we were the first ones to submit a complaint and refused to pay for the damages/parts. *ak | |||

| In 2/05, my husband & i were driving his 2000 lincolntowncaron the highway,when suddenly the car lost power and the tract active light came on. luckily, we were able to pull over to thesideof the road safely.we waited a few minutes and then proceeded back on the highway.we were then able to keep up the speed and came home safely.a few days later, it happened again, and we took thecar into dulaney motors,.when we explained what had happenedtheysaid they were not familiar with this problem motor co. theycalledford motor co and were told to check for bad coils.they did this & replaced the coil for $279.37. this was 3/1 & the prob happened again. on 3/ 14, we took it back to dulaney motors. this time they said they found #6 coil bad. they replaced it and also the boot on the remaining coils. this last job cost us $349.81 the car onlyhas 56,000 miles and i would think since this is such a safety probelm there should be some guarantee that this would be fixed.obviously ford doesn't seem to know how to fix the problem. we then discussed the problem with a mechanic .at the same time we also needed brakes and we just couldn't afford to repair the brakes and still have this problem. he explained that maybe that the brakes may actually be the problem. he said that each brake has a sensor. if the brakes start grinding, it gets metal flakes on the sensor.the sensor does not read the wheels right and then shuts down1/2 the engine. we had the brakes fixed on march 28 this did seem tohelp the situation, until the beginning of june,it againhappened it is now june 21, and it hasn't happened again-but we are always on pins and needles. my husband read the cars manul and there is a button in the glove compartment that turns off the ract control-so he drives with the glove compartment open-so if it happens he can disengage this button. i again emailed and called ford motor company. how many more times should this happen before someone is hurt or killed.please help. | |||

| On november 18, 2003 i had holman ford of turnersville, nj do repairs to my 2000 lincoln navigator. the drivers side heated seat was inoperative and i was told it needed a new heated seat element. i was advised that this was a warranty repair. i approved the repair and the work was supposedly completed. in december, 2004 the heated seat on the driver?s side stopped working. i took it back to holman ford of turnersville, nj on february 11, 2005 for the heated seat problem as well as a recall item. i was advised that it needed a heated seat element again and this repair was out of warranty. i questioned how this element could go bad in such a short time period. given the fact that the heated seat is only used in cold weather, it would only have had limited use. *ak i called the manufacture on february 11, 2005. they would not do anything for me. my position is that there is no way this element could have failed unless it was not replaced the first time, there is something causing this problem which should have been corrected the first time or the installation is causing the failure. if any additional information is needed please feel free to contact me. thank you | |||

| On 2/26/06 at 12:40pm, my 2000 lincoln navigator rear began to vibrate badly and then a loud noise occurred. the right rear tire tread had separated & damaged my rear bumper wheel well and bracket. the type of tires were continental general aw p275/60r17. the dot number for the bad tire was adto 44t 3802. i immediately went to a local baton rouge tire dealer (tire kingdom) with the tire and the manager stated that the tire had a defect and he could authorize installing a new continental replacement tire. the tire still had very good tread life remaining. i asked him about the other tires and he was not authorized to replace all four. since i was not comfortable with leaving the other tires on my vehicle and he did not have a like replacement, i replaced all four tires and filed a claim with continental (claim #6059007). continental replied and stated that the tire had been repaired (funny that the tire maintained air pressure even when the entire tread had been blown off). this is not a fair and responsible settlement. i sent continental the invoice for the cost of all four tires ($445.12) and two auto repair estimates for the damage (~$800.00 averaged). i noticed that these tires had previously had a recall on the exact tire (id #02t012000) and continental did not mention this or attempt to remedy this situation. i am fortunate that neither me nor my son were killed as a result of this defect which failed while we were travelling on the highway at 65mph. i do not normally file these types of claims. in fact, i can't ever recall ever filing one previously. please help with this claim and hold continental responsible for their faulty product before any other tires faila dn possibly hurt or kill someone. *jb | |||

| I've been having quite a few things going on with my vehicle. #1 the power windows would get stuck & not go up or down. sunroof would get stuck as well...i had to replaced the fuse(same) several times..about 3 times to be exact. #2 sometimes the vehicle would not start...i would have to turn on the a/c or heat for it to start..as long as the air was blowing, it would go ahead & start...but even sometimes that didn't help...i was listening to music while at my sons football practice, tried to start the car & it wouldn't start...replaced the battery... sometimes the car still cuts off & hesitate on me. i've noticed that problem especially when it rain. i've noticed that this clicking & ticking noise all the time...it gets annoying...it sounds like the signal light is still on..but its not....#3 the paint on this vehicle is poor...the coat is very thin...causing the paint to chip & fade away quickly...#4 the buttons for the seat movement came out on the side...it's hanging off on the side of the passenger side...i think the latch to hold it together broke #5 the windshield wipers doesn't work properly when its raining...#6 the vehicle tends to move toward the right for some reason...like its out of lined or something, even after having the wheels on the car aligned & checked..#7 the biggest problem we are having with this vehicle is when we are at a light(stopped) the vehicle would move like its about to race another car...while having my foot on the brake...it would jerk almost hitting the car in front of me...i don't know whats going on with this vehicle....but these problems need to be resolved......these are manufacturer defects!! *ak | |||

| Windshield wiper issue not responded to by dealer or manufacturer. i was blown off twice on this issue. first windshield wipers did not operate while fluid was low. it affected safety since the fluid was shot onto window manually while operating vehicle and the i had to pull off the road cause i could not see through the windshield. only after moving wiper from auto intermittent to manual would wipers operate. dangerous situation can arise 1st time through this situation. also transmission failure. *ak | |||
