 Smell of something burning - going to the dealership today. headlight covers collect moisture. airback light on - was quoted approximately $500 to fix. driver side door does not open from inside - $85 to determine that the latch is worn off & again an estimate for $850 to fix the handle. three out of the four power windows dropped down & had to be fixed in the last two years. both the driver and the passenger seatbacks have fallen off. driver seat makes noise when going/sliding back. on two seperate occasions i was unable to apply the brake when coming to a stop - car kept on rolling & i could not press the brake. loud noise when accelerating between 45-55mph which i was told is normal.*ak

 I purchased the 2000 lincoln ls in november 2002. i have had break trouble at the cost of $1000. in the past two weeks, i have been informed that the car has had catostrophic damage and would be better off buying a new engine. i'm highly concerned about this occurrence and request an immediate resolution to my concerns.*ak

 The jack provided with the vehicle collapsed after tire was removed allowing the car to crash to the ground. i was not near the car at the time when this happened. after examing the jack ,the jack was bent in half . this is a scissors type jack, was not extended very high as this car sits low to the ground .the quality and strenght of the jack is questionable. fortunately , there was no injury and only damage to the rear disc which i intend to report to the dealer and ford motor co. *ak
