THIS IS MY FATHERS CAR. HE IS A WWII VET AND JUST SHY OF 98 YEARS OLD. WE JUST REPLACED AN AC ON THE CAR, AND NOW THE COMPUTER HAS FAILED AND NEED REPLACING. THE FEDERAL WARRANTY FOR THIS STATE IS 8 YEARS OR 80K MILES. THE CAR HAS 47K MILES AND THE 8 YEAR WARRANTY ENDED 1 MONTH AND 20 DAYS AGO. LINCOLN WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT TO EVEN PRORATE AN AMOUNT TO HELP HIM. THIS IS THE VEHICLE HE USES TO GET TO DR APPTS. I FIND IT HARD TO SWALLOW THERE LACK OF COMPASSION FOR HIM AND THEIR PRODUCT.

WHEELS
I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH LOW TIRES. THEY ARE CONSTANTLY GOING LOW/FLAT. ABOUT 6 MONTH AGO I HAD ONE TIRE COME COMPLETELY OFF MY RIM. FROM WHAT I AM TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP, THE RIMS HAVE TO BE SHAVED DOWN AND THEN RE SEALED. I JUST BOUGHT NEW TIRES LESS THEN A YEAR AGO AND ALREADY IN NEED OF NEW ONES BECAUSE THE TREAD IS WORN OUT FOR HAVING INCONSISTANT AIR IN THEM WITH THEM CONTINUALLY GOING LOW! IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS BUT MORE FREQUENTLY WITHIN THE LAST 12 MONTHS.

SERVICE BRAKES
TONIGHT WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME, I CAME TO A RED LIGHT. WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES, THE BRAKES MADE A WEIRD SOUND, HIT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AND WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR. I PRESSED OFF THE BRAKE AND PRESSED IT AGAIN AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR AGAIN, BUT NOT AS MUCH AND EVENTUALLY STOPPED THE CAR. I PULLED OVER AND KEPT TESTING THE BRAKES AGAIN AND IT WAS STILL GOING TO THE FLOOR BUT THE EVENTUALLY STOPPED. LUCKILY I WAS ABOUT 5 MINUTES FROM HOME SO I DID NOT HAVE TO DRIVE MUCH FARTHER. WHEN I GOT HOME, I WENT ONLINE TO LOOK UP THE ISSUE AND I FOUND OTHER PEOPLE INQUIRING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. SOME PEOPLE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY AND THE ISSUE WAS STILL NOT PROPERLY RESOLVED. I THINK THIS COMMON ISSUE NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED, AND A RECALL ISSUED SINCE BRAKES PLAY A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN THE SAFETY OF A CAR. IF I WAS NOT ON AN EMPTY ROAD OR IF I HAD A CAR RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, I COULD HAVE HAD A CAR ACCIDENT TODAY BECAUSE I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR RIGHT AWAY. I ENDED UP PRACTICALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION.

WHEELS
TODAY WAS THE 7TH TIRE THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED SINCE LEASING THIS CAR SINCE JANUARY 2014.THESE LOW PROFILE TIRES ARE TERRIBLE. I FEEL THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I WAS OFFERED A TIRE WARRANTY WHICH I REGRET I DID NOT PURCHASE. REGARDLESS, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE CAR DOES NOT COME WITH A SPARE. I FEEL SOMEONE COULD END UP STRANDED SOMEWHERE. EACH TIME WAS EITHER A SMALL POTHOLE, ROCK, MINOR BUMP IN THE ROAD, OR IT JUST WENT FLAT!

WHEELS
THE WHEELS ON MY 2008 LINCOLN MKZ ARE CORRODING TO THE POINT THAT THE TIRES ARE LOOSING AIR. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE TIRES TAKEN OFF THE WHEELS SEVERAL TIMES AND CLEANED THE RIM ONLY TO HAVE IT CONTINUE TO CORRODE AND LEAK AIR AGAIN. IT IS RUINING MY TIRES AND IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD NOT KNOWING HOW QUICKLY THE TIRES WILL GO FLAT. MY MKZ HAS ONLY 48,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED. I HAVE TRIED TO DEAL WITH LINCOLN, BUT THEY ARE NO HELP. I LOVE MY MKZ BUT AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH LINCOLN.

THE VENT ON MY 2008 LINCOLN MKZ IS POPPING UP AWAY FROM THE DASH AND THE DASH IS BUCKELING. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE CLIPS BECAUSE IT WAS AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE CLIPS WERE WORE OUT.. HOW DO CLIPS WERE OUT ON A DASH. THE CAR IS NOT VERY OLD FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. JUST WANT TO SEE IF THERE ARE OTHER OWNERS OUT THERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM.
