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
CONSUMER STATED THAT VEHICLE WAS PARKED 35 TO 45 MINUTES WHEN SHE SAW SMOKE COMING FROM THE GRILL AREA, AND FLAMES COMING FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT AREA. NO PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE OTHER THAN THE CRUISE CONTROL NOT WORKING.*AK
