STEERING
VEHICLE HAS VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEN GOING ABOUT 50 MPH AND VIBRATION GETS WORSE FASTER THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN. VEHICLE HAS HAD THE VIBRATION FROM THE VERY FIRST DAY IT WAS PURCHASED IN DECEMBER OF 2005. WAS TOLD BY THE DEALSERSHIP THAT VEHICLE NEEDED TIRE BALANCING BUT THAT DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT 6 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM SINCE IT WAS PURCHASED. DEALERSHIP REPLACED TWO FRONT TIRES ON THE LINCOLN' RECMENDATION BUT THAT DIDN'T NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEY ALSO REPLACED DRIVE SHAFT AND TRANSMISSION AND STEERING DAMPNERS. THEY ALSO DID A TSB CALLED INDEXING TIRES COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO BUT VIBRATION IS STILL THERE. I CALLED LINCOLN OUT OF FRAUSTRATION AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WILL GET BACK TO ME AFTER THEY SPEAK WITH SOMONE FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I RECEVIED A CALL FROM LINCOLN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE SPOKEN TO DEALERSHIP AND THERE IS NOTHING MORE TO BE DONE TO THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THS IS HOW THIS TYPE OF TRUCK DRIVES. I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THAT A $ 45,000 TRUCK IS SUPPOSE TO DRIVE LIKE THIS. I HAVE SEARCHED THIS ISSUE IN FORD AND LINCOLN FORMS AND THIS IS WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM ACROSS BOTH BRANDS FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY. *NM

POWER TRAIN
THERE ARE CURRENTLY TWO 2006 LINCOLN MARK LT PICK UP TRUCKS IN THE SERVICE DEPT. AT QUEEN CITY LINCOLN MERCURY @ 7301 SOUTH BLVD, CHARLOTTE, NC 28273 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. MINE IS ONE OF THEM. THE VEHICLE HAS 5000 MILES ON IT, HAS BEEN THERE FOR 23 DAYS, AND THEY CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHY THE VEHICLE SHAKES AND VIBRATES AS IF RUNNING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS AT 20 - 25 MPH. SOUNDS LIKE UNSAFE CONSTRUCTION TO ME THAT SHOULD BE DECLARED A PUBLIC SAFETY HAZARD. THE TRUCKS ARE FROM 2 DIFFERENT STATES ORIGINALLY SO IT IS NOT A MATTER OF ONE DELIVERY OF 2 BAD VEHICLES. *NM

SUSPENSION:FRONT
THE VEHICLE HAS AN ABNORMAL VIBRATION AT SPEEDS OF 60 AND ABOVE. THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES VIOLENTLY. YOU CAN FEEL THE VIBRATION IN THE BACK SEAT TOO. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME I SHOULDN'T BE GOING THAT FAST AND BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO DRIVE THAT FAST THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE NOTICED THE PROBLEM SINCE PURCHASING THE TRUCK ON NOVEMBER 30, 2005. I FEEL THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
LINCOLN MARK LT 2006. AS MY FATHER PROCEEDED DOWN HIS DRIVE-WAY STOPPING IN FRONT OF HIS GARAGE THE TRUCK SUDDENLY ACCELERATED IN EXCESS OF 40 MILES AN HOUR. THE TRUCK WENT THROUGH THE GARAGE DOOR HITTING HIS CADILLAC ESCALADE, AND PUSHING THE ESCALADE THROUGH THE NORTH WALL OF HIS GARAGE. ESTIMATED DAMAGE TO GARAGE, LINCOLN, AND ESCALADE EXCEEDS $30,000.00. NEITHER AIRBAG DEPLOYED, AND THE ONLY THING THAT SAVED HIM FROM GOING ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE GARAGE WAS THAT THE ESCALADE TOOK THE FORCE OF THE COLLISION. PREVIOUSLY, MY FATHER HAD OWNED A FORD F150, AND HE ALSO HAD UNEXPLAINED ACCELERATION THAT CAUSED DAMAGE. PREVIOUS TO THE DATE OF THIS ACCIDENT MY SISTER HAD BORROWED THE TRUCK AND WHEN SHE SLIPPED IT INTO REVERSE THE TRUCK STARTED TO BURN RUBBER AS SHE WAS JUST TRYING TO BACK OUT OF HER DRIVEWAY. MY OLDEST BROTHER DROVE IT LAST WEEK IN LYNNWOOD, WASHINGTON AT NOON WITH MY FATHER TO GO TO LUNCH, AND WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT, THE TRUCK HE TOLD ME JUST ACCELERATED WHEN HE HAD HIS FOOT ON THE BRAKE. MT OTHER BROTHER HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE WHEN HE AND MY FATHER TOOK A TRIP TOGETHER. FORD/LINCOLN HAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM, AND YOU PEOPLE SEEM TO CARE LESS ABOUT ADDRESSING IT. I HAVE OWNED 1 FORD IN MY LIFE, WHICH I PURCHASED AT WILSON FORD IN 1987. THE FIRST YEAR IT WAS IN THE SHOP 21 TIMES BECAUSE OF STALLING AT SPEEDS OVER 30 MILES AN HOUR. MY PREGNANT WIFE ENDED UP CRASHING THROUGH A STORE FRONT COSTING ME AND MY INSURANCE COMPANY 10,000'S OF DOLLARS, NOT TO MENTION ALMOST MY BABIES LIFE. I WAS EXTREMELY INTERESTED IN READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT FORD 150'S AS IT REMINDED ME OF WHAT THE SERVICE MANAGER AT WILSON TOLD ME IN ALL HONESTLY. HE SAID THE MANUFACTURER IN 1987 HAD NOT EVEN BEGUN TO CORRECT THE PROBLEMS WITH THE 1985 MODELS. YOU HAVE A PROBLEM THAT IS GETTING WORSE. *JB
