TAKATA RECALL PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY EXPLODE CAUSING METAL TO FLY AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. THIS IS MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION WITH MY CHILDREN AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THEM BEING IN THIS CAR. WE HAD A DEATH DUE TO THIS IN MY AREA WITH A HONDA. I RECEIVED THE RECALL IN JULY. THERE ARE STILL NO REMEDIES TO THIS. I NEED THIS FIXED OR A RENTAL UNTIL SO.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHEN ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE HESITATES ,MAKES A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE AND WHINES LIKE THE GEAR IS STUCK SHIFTS VERY HARD WHICH CAUSES THE THE VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER CAUSING SPEED TO GO TO A CRAWL, WHICH IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS IN ANY TRAFFIC ESPECIALLY, WHEN I M ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN INTERSTATE TRAFFIC. THIS HAPPENS VERY FREQUENTLY.

WHEELS
TIRES LOSE AIR ALL THE TIME. I EVEN BOUGHT BRAND NEW TIRES AND IT STILL HAPPENS. CURRENT MECHANIC ADVISE ITS THE WHEELS. THEY ARE ORIGINAL TO THE CAR AND I AM BEING TOLD ITS DUE TO THE WHEELS. NOW I AM SPENDING MONEY TO "CLEAN" THEM. NOT SURE IF IT WILL HELP BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING ON A TOLLWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65-70 MPH, WE SUDDENLY LOST ALL ENGINE POWER, AND WERE UNABLE TO SPEED UP TO OUR EXIT. ENOUGH POWER WAS GENERATED TO ALLOW US TO EXIT THE TOLLWAY. WE WERE EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT NO CARS WERE FOLLOWING US, AND THANKS TO GOD NO TRUCKS WERE ON EITHER SIDE OF OUR CAR WHEN THIS OCCURRED. WE WERE ABLE TO SLOWLY REACH OUR DESTINATION. THE CAR IS NOW AT A REPAIR SHOP AWAITING INFORMATION FROM THE NEAREST LINCOLN DEALER. HIS COMPUTER TESTING SO FAR DOES NOT INDICATE ANY PROBLEMS.

STRUCTURE:BODY, VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE DASH IS WARPING AND RISING UP IN THE CENTER. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS BUT IS NOW TO THE POINT THAT IT AFFECTS THE DEFROST FLOW OF AIR. THIS MEANS THE WINDSHIELD IS FREQUENTLY FOGGING OVER, AFFECTING VISIBILITY. I CAN NO LONGER FULLY DEFROST MY WINDSHIELD. LINCOLN HAS REFUSED TO FIX IT AT THEIR COST. THEY WANT AROUND $5000 TO REPLACE IT.

RECENTLY HAVE HAD A TRUNK AJAR MSG ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHEN THE TRUNK LID IS SECURE.AT NIGHT AFTER ROLLING UP WINDOWS AND LOCKING THE CAR THE INTERIORS LIGHTS ARE NOT SHUTTING OFF(THIS HAS HAPPEN TWICE).

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE DASH BOARD OF THE VEHICLE IS SEVERELY WARPED, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS VERY COMMON WITH THIS YEAR MODEL. THE WARP IS AT THE DEFROST VENT AS WELL AT THE FRONT OF THE DASH ABOVE THE CLOCK. THE WARP IS A SAFETY CONCERN, AS DEFROST DOES NOT WORK AS IT SHOULD DUE TO THE WARPING. DOOR HANDLE (SPECIFICALLY DRIVES SIDE AT THIS TIME) WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. YOU HAVE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW OR HAVE SOMEONE ELSE OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY CONCERN, AS IN CASE OF EMERGENCIES YOU CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR TO EXIT THE VEHICLE.
