2000 Lincoln Continental Visibility & Wipers Problems

THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM - CANT SEE DASHBOARD COMPONENTS WHEN SUNNY. MR

CONSUMER RECEIVED RECALL NOTIFICATION 01V258000 CONCERNING WINDSHIELD WIPER MOTOR COVER. UPON CONTACTING LOCAL LINCOLN DEALERSHIP,CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT SERVICE WOULD NOT BE PERFORMED BECAUSE VEHICLE WAS NOT PURCHASED FROM THEIR LOCATION. *AK CONSUMER STATES RECALL REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED AT ANOTHER DEALER. *JB

GLARE OFF THE WINDSHIELD MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE SPEEDOMETER, ALSO HORN IS TOO HARD TO PUSH. *AK

PURCHASED VEHICLE IN TX AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY HAD TO RELOCATE TO DE. WHEN WIFES TURN TO DRIVE, SHE IS 5'2" SHE COULD NOT ADJUST RT SIDEVIEW MIRROR ENOUGH LATERALLY TO BE USABLE AND SHE WOULD NOT DRIVE VEHICLE. I ASSUMED IT NEEDED ADJESTMENT. WE HAD 3 PREVIOUS FORD VEHICLES AND THIS ITEM ADJUSTED OK. TOOK IT TO DEALER IN DE FOR SERVICE AND TO GET MIRROR ADJUSTED. SVCMGR ADVISED THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND LINCOLN TOLD HIM IT WAS A DESIGN DEFECT. CALLED LINCOLN CUSTOMER SVC DETAILED THE PROBLEM AND I WAS TOLD LINCOLN WOULD GET BACK TO ME IN A DAY OR TWO. IT IS NOW 2 WKS. LATER. I SPECIFICALLY ASKED FOR THEIR COMMENTS PRIOR TO FILING THIS COMPLAINT. *AK

THE ENTIRE COMPUTER SYSTEM WHICH CONTROLS THE WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIR SIX TIMES AND IS STILL NOT FIXED. WE GET RESCUE SYSTEM FAILURE, SERVICE ENGINE SOON, LOW WASHER FLUID AND A VARIETY OF OTHER SAFETY WARNINGS. WE CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR AND BE CERTAIN WE ARE NOT IN JEOPARDY. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD US THEY CURRENTLY HAVE MULTIPLE LINCOLN'S IN FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THE HOME OFFICE HAS ADVISED THEM THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THIS, BUT THAT THEY SUSPECT FLORIDA'S "HEAT AND HUMIDITY". I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT BUT, WITH VEHICLE SAFETY WARNINGS FALSE OR INOPERABLE THE CAR IS SIMPLY NOT SAFE. WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO NEGOTIATE OUT OF THE CAR UNDER FLORIDA'S LEMON LAW BUT LINCOLN IS NOT WILLING TO ADDRESS OR FIX THIS PROBLEM. *AK
