VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES, EQUIPMENT:APPLIANCE:AIR CONDITIONER
THE ENTIRE COMPUTER SYSTEM WHICH CONTROLS THE WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIR SIX TIMES AND IS STILL NOT FIXED. WE GET RESCUE SYSTEM FAILURE, SERVICE ENGINE SOON, LOW WASHER FLUID AND A VARIETY OF OTHER SAFETY WARNINGS. WE CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR AND BE CERTAIN WE ARE NOT IN JEOPARDY. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD US THEY CURRENTLY HAVE MULTIPLE LINCOLN'S IN FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THE HOME OFFICE HAS ADVISED THEM THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING THIS, BUT THAT THEY SUSPECT FLORIDA'S "HEAT AND HUMIDITY". I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT BUT, WITH VEHICLE SAFETY WARNINGS FALSE OR INOPERABLE THE CAR IS SIMPLY NOT SAFE. WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO NEGOTIATE OUT OF THE CAR UNDER FLORIDA'S LEMON LAW BUT LINCOLN IS NOT WILLING TO ADDRESS OR FIX THIS PROBLEM. *AK
