THE FAN DOES NOT RUN. CAUSED THE INTAKE MANIFOLD TO WARP AND THE MOTOR OIL AND ANTIFREEZE TO BLEED INTO EACHOTHER. EVENTUALLY THE ENGINE WILL CRACK IF ISSUE REMAINS UNADDRESSED. I DID AN ONLINE SEARCH AND FOUND A SAFETY RECALL (#13508) FOR MY 2006 LINCOLN TOWNCAR THAT INVOLVES THE COOLANT ALUMINUM BYPASS STICKING SHUT AND THUS CAUSING THE FAN NOT TO KICK ON. HOWEVER, WHEN I SEARCHED SAFETY RECALLS ON LINCOLN AND FORD'S OFFICIAL WEBSITES NO INFORMATION CAME UP REGARDING THAT PARTICULAR RECALL. PLEASE ADVISE. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WE ARE A DEALER IN SUNNYVALE, CA AND WE HAVE A 2006 LINCOLN LS SPORT IN OUR INVENTORY. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN OUR LOT ON A TYPICAL SUNNY DAY WITH NO ONE INSIDE OR AROUND THE VEHICLE WHEN FOR NO APPARENT REASON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. WE RAN THE VIN NUMBER ON CARFAX AND THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE FOR LINCOLN BUT THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR SERVICE BULLETINS FOR THE VEHICLE. WE SEARCHED ONLINE IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND WERE SHOCKED TO DISCOVER THAT WE WERE NOT THE ONLY OWNERS TO COME ACROSS THIS ISSUE. BY VISITING THIS WEBSITE, HTTP://CARS-SAFETY.COM/LINCOLN/LS/AIR-BAGS-SIDE-WINDOW.HTM, WE FOUND 26 OTHER CASES WITH THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM. WE CONTACTED LINCOLN'S CORPORATE OFFICE BUT THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEIR IS AN ISSUE, AND OUTRIGHT REFUSED TO OFFER ANY HELP WITH OUR SITUATION. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS THAT LINCOLN WON'T EVEN STAND BEHIND THE CARS THAT THEY MAKE AND SELL TO THE PUBLIC. I GUESS THE ONE SILVER LINING WITH THIS WHOLE RIDICULOUS SITUATION IS THAT NO ONE WAS INSIDE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME, BECAUSE I SHUTTER TO IMAGINE THE OUTCOME THEN.

VEHICLE HAD EXPERIENCE APPROXIMATELY 6 TIMES THE TRAC CONTROL TURNING OFF WHILE DRIVING. SOON WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO FREEWAY THE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN A LOAD NOISE. THE ENGINE BLEW WITH NO PRIOR WARNING FROM ANY OF THE VEHICLE CONTROLS EXCEPT FOR THE TRAC CONTROL LIGHT. THE CAR CONTINUES TO SIT IN MY GARAGE BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE $5000.00 TO FIX IT. *TR
