I GOT MY CAR IN JAN. OF 2004, SINCE THEN THE DEALERSHIP HAS SEEN IT MORE THAN I HAVE. THE AIRBAG LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON, WINDOW REGULATORS KEEP GOING OUT, WINDOWS KEEP GETING OFF TRACK AND MAKING AWFUL NOISES, WINDOWS SLAM SHUT, AND THE BRAKES ARE SQUEALING BUT THE DEALSHIP CAN NEVER FIND THE PROBLEM AND WHEN THEY DO 'FIX' THESE PROBLEMS, A FEW WEEKS LATER THEY ARE BROKE AGAIN. I CANT KEEP TAKING OFF WORK FOR THIS AND THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM WONT HELP ME, AND BECAUSE IT IS A USED CAR, THERE ARE NO LEMON LAWS. WHAT CAN I DO? HELP!!! *AK

THE VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON THREE OCCASIONS, MY 2000 LINCOLN LS (V6) HAD A SUDDEN ACCELERATION. THE FIRST TWO INCIDENTS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. THE LAST INCIDENT WAS ON 03-29-04 IN THE CITY LIMIT. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET DOING ABOUT 30 MPH WHEN THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED RED AND THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME CAME TO A STOP. WHEN I BEGAN TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR, I FELT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL GO DOWNWARD. THE CAR BEGAN TO INCREASE SPEED WITHOUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. I PLACED MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I TRIED PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN AS MUCH AS I COULD BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I SHIFT THE GEAR INTO PARK AND THEN THE CAR STOPPED. *AK

WHEELS:LUGS/NUTS/BOLTS/STUDS
ROAD WHEEL LUG NUT DESIGN USED ON CERTAIN MY2001 LINCOLN LS SEDANS IS DIMENSIONALLY UNSTABLE, GROWING IN SIZE OVER TIME AND MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE AND/OR SECURE WITH THE CORRECT WHEEL BRACE OR SOCKET TOOL. FOLLOWING A PUNCTURE AND SUBSEQUENT REPLACEMENT OF 4 TIRES ON MY VEHICLE DUE TO NORMAL WEAR, ALL 20 NUTS ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED AS THEY COULD ONLY BE REMOVED BY FORCE. DEALER INFORMED ME THAT TSB EXISTS FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT NO FORMAL RECALL. NOTE: 1 SAMPLE OF DEFECTIVE NUT AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. *JB
