2006 Lincoln LS problems

“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] *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.”

“AFTER PARKING CAR WOULD START UP BUT WOULD NOT COME OUT OF GEAR, WINDOWS WOULD NOT ROLL UP.RADIO WOULD NOT PLAY”

“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”

“WHEN I BE DRIVING GIVE IT THE GAS THE ETC FAILED SAFEMODE JUMPS ON HAVE NO ACCELERATION OR POWER I HAVE TO PULL OVER IN TRAFFIC WERE EVER WE ARE AT INTERSTATE, TOWN IT DON'T MATTER IT IS UNSAFE AND I SEE A LOT OF THESE CARS IN THIS YEAR OR EARLIER HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. *TR”

“I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A USED DEALER LAST MONTH HAVEN'T DRIVEN 6 TIMES YET AND NOW THIS MONTH IT IS STALLING OUT WE THOUGHT IT WAS THE FUEL FILTER SO WE REPLACED THAT BUT NOW I TRIED DRIVING IT AGAIN AND I GOT AN ERROR MESSAGE SAYING "ETC ENGINE FAILURE SAFE MODE" THE CA THEN BEGAN SLOWING DOWN AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE MY SPEED. THE CAR WAS ALSO JERKING AS IF IT WOULD CUT OFF SO. *TR”
