AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
WHILE DRIVING ON A SMOOTH STRAIGHT SECTION OF INTERSTATE 75 AT 80 MPH I APPARENTLY RAN OVER A PIECE OF METAL WHICH FLIPPED UP AND HIT THE UNDER SIDE OF THE CAR UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT TOWARD THE OUTSIDE. THEN THE SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE STRIKING MY UPPER ARM,CAUSING A LARGE BRUISE. I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR. I CHECKED FOR DAMAGE AT THE NEXT LIGHTED EXIT. FINDING NONE I PROCEEDED ON MY TRIP HOME. THE NEXT MORNING I DROVE TO THE LINCOLN DEALER. THEY DISCOVERED A 2-3 INCH GASH UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT AND SAID THAT CAUSED THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY. THEY DENIED A WARRENTY CLAIM FOR THE REPAIR AND REFUSED TO STATE IN WRITING THAT THE IMPACT TO THE UNDER SIDE OF THE CAR CAUSED THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY PROPERLY AND THEREFOR WAS NOT A COVERED DEFECT. AT THIS TIME I AM TRYING TO CONTACT THE LINCOLN 800 NUNBER TO GET THE REPAIR COVERED UNDER THE WARRENTY AND HAVE THE PROBLEM CHECKED INTO FOR OTHER DRIVER'S SAFETY.*AK

STRUCTURE:BODY:BUMPERS, STRUCTURE:BODY, SUSPENSION
FRONT BUMPER AIR DEFLECTOR ON CAR HAS BEEN A MAJOR PROBLEMS SINCE WE FIRST DROVE CAR OFF THE LOT. WE ARE UNABLE TO DRIVE INTO ANY SHOPPING CENTER THAT HAS A SLIGHT INCLINE WITHOUT DRAGGING THE CAR. WE HAVE REPEATEDLY COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS AND ARE TOLD BY DEALER THAT CAR DOES NOT SIT TO LOW. HOWEVER I CAN NOT EVEN GO TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD POST OFFICE WITHOUT SCRAPING THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF CAR. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WE HAVE HAD TO USE WIRE COATHANGERS TO REATTACH THE PLASTIC-LIKE PAN IN ORDER TO DRIVE THE VECHICLE. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE NOT "HOT-RODDERS" BUT 60+ SENIORS. WE DRIVE ONLY ON THE FREEWAYS AND IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS . AS THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WE FEEL THAT EITHER WE HAVE A "LEMON" OR THAT THERE IS A MAJOR STRUCTURAL DEFECT IN THE SUSPENSION OF THIS VEHICLE . THE DAY WE WERE TO TAKE DELIVERY OF OUR CAR THE SALESPERSON CALLED TO NOTIFY US IT HAD TO GO TO THE BODY SHOP BECAUSE ONE OF THE DOORS WAS NOT ALIGNED PROPERLY. IN HINDSIGHT WE WONDER IF THAT IS WHERE OUR TROUBLES BEGAN AND IF POSSIBLY THIS PARTICULAR CAR WAS DROPPED OFF THE CARRIER? WE FEEL THAT HAVING TO RETURN THIS CAR TO THE DEALER 8 TIMES FOR VARIOUS PROBLEMS WITH MILEAGE OF ONLY 16000 IS EXCESSIVE.*AK
