ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
CAR GOES INTO FAIL SAFE EACH AND EVERY TIME IT IS DRIVEN. IT DID SO 19 TIMES TODAY. I CONNECTED A CODE READER WHICH IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEMS AS BEING RELATED TO THE THROTTLE CONTROL AND THE THROTTLE BODY. I PURCHASED THE CAR 1 1/2 MONTHS AGO. PRIOR OWNER HAD THE THROTTLE BODY REPLACED WITH A NEW MOPAR UNIT 4 MONTHS AGO/ 2000.MILES AGO. DON'T WANT TO REPLACE IT AGAIN SINCE THIS IS LIKELY NOT THE PROBLEM.

AIR BAGS
THE 2005 LINCOLN LS LEFT THE ROAD, HIT A DITCH, AND OVERTURNED SEVERAL TIMES IN A FIELD. THE VEHICLE OVERTURNED SIDE TO SIDE. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DURING THE CRASH. THE DRIVER SEAT AND THE PASSENGER SEAT WE'RE BOTH OCCUPIED AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH. WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY IN A FAULTY MECHANISMS IN THE VEHICLE, HOWEVER, DESPITE MULTIPLE IMPACTS DURING THE ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. THE INJURIES SUSTAINED IN THE CRASH COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED, OR MINIMIZED, IF THE AIRBAGS WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED AS THEY SHOULD HAVE. THE INSURANCE COMPANY IS ESURANCE AND THE CLAIM NUMBER IS [XXX] AND THEY CAN BE CONTACTED AT [XXX]. [XXX] IS THE ADJUSTER. THANK YOU, IN ADVANCE, FOR YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE AND ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE CAR TURNS ON AND RUNS BUT LOSES POWER RANDOMLY. IT EITHER SPUTTERS DEAD OR STALLS AND BACKFIRES. WHEN I TURN IT OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON IT REPEATS THE CYCLE. I HAVE REPLACED FUEL PUMPS, THROTTLE BODY AND MAF SENSORS. AND STILL NO LUCK I SEE ON THE LINCOLN FORUMS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM NOT YET RECOGNIZED BY THE NHSTA OR LINCOLN.

I WAS GETTING ON A FREEWAY ON RAMP THAT TURNED NOT GOING MORE THAN MAYBE BETWEEN 30-35 MPH AND WHEN ALMOST GETTING READY TO MERG ON TO THE FREEWAY MY LOWER RIGHT BALL JOINT BROKE. CAUSING MY WHEEL TO TURN SIDE WAYS AND PUT A DENT IN THE FENDER. LATER AFTER BEING REPAIRED I SAW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS, AND CONTACTED A DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL. BUT THE STUFF THAT IS DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL SEEMED TO FIT EXACTLY WHAT HAPPEND TO MY LINCOLN LS. I WAS LUCKY I WAS ON THE ON RAMP AND NOT DRIVING 65-70MPH ON THE FREEWAY OTHER WISE I MIGHT NOT BE HERE TO DAY. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER TOLD ME HE HAS SEEN THAT FLIP CARS. NOT ONLY THAT BUT I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THAT CAR SINCE I BOUGHT IT ALMOST 3 YEARS AGO. JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT CAN GO WRONG HAS GONE WRONG. I HAVE SPENT SOMEWHERE BETWEEN $10,000 TO $20,000 ON REPAIRING THAT CAR.
