  ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  FREQUENCY: ONCE EVERY OTHER DAY WHEN TEMPERATURE OVER 73 F. ELECTRICAL: (ISSUE 1) THE SOUND SYSTEM WHILE IN USE CREATES A HORRENDOUS SOUND/BANG THAT SOUNDS LIKE AN ACCIDENT. THIS CAUSES A LOSS OF DRIVER ATTENTION AND DISTRACTION FROM TRAFFIC. (ISSUE 2) AFTER LOUD SOUND, THE STEREO WILL LOCK IT SELF AND NOT ALLOWING TO SHUT IT DOWN OR ANYTHING. (ISSUE 3) AFTER LOUD SOUND, THE TURN SIGNAL WILL FLASH IN A FASTER PACED THAN NORMAL. (ISSUE 4) AFTER LOUD SOUND, AIR CONDITIONER WOULD NOT WORK. ALL THIS ISSUES WOULD RESOLVE BY TURNING CAR OFF AND OPENING THE DRIVER DOOR TO RESET ITSELF. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE, WITH SLEEPING KIDS IN THE BACK WHEN LOUD SOUND GETS TRIGGER AND HAVE TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY TO "RESET THE SYSTEM". *TR

  SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, WHEELS

  BRAKES ACTIVATE WHEN TURNING AND I PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL ONE YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THIS CAR , I NOTICED THE BRAKES WOULD ACTIVE WHEN I AM MAKING A RIGHT TURN.IT WAS EITHER RAINING OR BEGINNING TO SNOW. THE CAR WOULD BRAKE AS I WAS MAKING A TURN WHILE I GIVING IT GAS TO TURN. HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 TIMES WHILE I WAS TURNING ON A MAIN ROAD. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A LIFE THREATENING EVENT. IMAGINE A CAR COMING AT YOU AND YOUR GAS PEDAL IS NOT RESPONDING WHILE AT THE SAME TIME YOUR CAR IS BRAKING. A VERY SCARY SCENARIO. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID BRAKES NEED CALIBRATION AND THAT I NEEDED NEW BRAKES. I SAID SURE.I ASKED IS THAT NORMAL FOR A CAR TO DO THAT WHEN BRAKES WEAR OUT . THEY SAID NO AND TESTED THE & FOUND NO ISSUES. I PAID FOR THE BRAKE REPLACEMENTS. 3 MONTHS GO BY AND THE SAME THING. TOOK BACK TO DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE BUT THE BRAKES WERE FINE. I STRESSED THE PROBLEM OF MOISTURE( RAIN & SNOW) WHEN THIS OCCURS. THIS OCCURS WHEN I FIRST START DRIVING THE CAR UNDER THOSE CONDITIONS. HAPPENS ONCE AND THEN I AM FINE FOR THE OF THE DRIVE. THIS KEEPS HAPPENING TO ME. I HAVE CONTACTED THE LINCOLN HEADQUARTERS & ALL I HEAR IS TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. BUT NO SOLUTION. I EVEN FOUND PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS ON GOOGLE AND PRINTED THEM & SHOWED TO THE DEALER. I DID NOT GET ANY HELP. ALL I GOT WAS THAT WE CANT DUPLICATE IT.. ON JUNE 15, 16 AND 17 2014 THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED 6 DIFFERENT TIMES. I WILL CONTRACTING THE DEALER SOON. THIS IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION. *TR

  VISIBILITY

  THERE WERE NO EXTRANEOUS VARIABLES LEADING TO THE REAR WINDOW EXPLOSION. THE POLICE WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANY CONTACT ENTRY OR EVIDENCE OF VANDALISM AND INDICATED IT WAS POSSIBLY DEFECTIVE GLASS. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT INVESTIGATE THE POSSIBILITY OF PREVIOUS STRESS CRACKS OR DESIGN DEFECTS, ALTHOUGH THEY ADMITTED THAT THIS CLASS OF VEHICLE HAS SEVERE INTERNAL PRESSURE FLUCTUATIONS WHILE A REAR PASSENGER WINDOW IS OPEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND THIS WAS EXPERIENCED THE DAY BEFORE. THE GLASS SHATTERED WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED, WITH THE TEMPERATURE BEING BETWEEN 65 & 70F, WITH NOBODY IN IT. THERE WERE NO PRIOR ISSUES WITH THE GLASS. THE ONLY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE GLASS WAS THE PRESSURE FLUCTUATIONS. *TR
