2006 Lincoln Zephyr 4-DR. w/SAB

The contact owns a 2006 Lincoln Zephyr. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 19V904000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The vehicle was then taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with the brake caliper needing to be replaced. The dealer informed the contact that unless the caliper was fixed, the recall repair would not be performed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure but provided no further assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 38,000.

on May 17, 2021 I was involved in a wreck which the airbags did not deploy after impact. There is a police report and an insurance claim pending on the wreck.

ON APRIL 21, 2021 I TOOK MY CAR TO BOB THOMAS LINCOLN, 310 W COLISEUM BLVD, FORT WAYNE, INDIANA 46805 PHONE (260) 482-9876 INVOICE# 687347 FOR NHTSA SAFETY RECALL 19V-904 WHICH CALLS FOR THE BRAKE SYSTEM TO BE PRESSURE FLUSHED WITH DOT 4 BRAKE FLUID, THIS DID NOT HAPPEN AS WHEN WE GOT THE CAR BACK THE BRAKE SYSTEM RESERVOIR WAS OVER FILLED AND THE BRAKE FLUID WAS VERY RUST COLORED WITH NUMEROUS BLACK PARTICLES SUSPENDED IN THE FLUID NOT THE CLEAR OR TRANSLUCENT FLUID THAT WOULD INDICATE THE FLUID HAD BEEN PRESSURE FLUSHED, I CALLED BOB THOMAS LINCOLN AND GOT THE BIG RUN AROUND.

DASHBOARD ON VEHICLE IS WARPED DEFROSTER VENT IS OUT WINDSHIELD DOES NOT DEFROST PROPERLY OBSTRUCTS VISION WHILE DRIVING

MANUFAC RECALL #19S54 NHTA RECCALL #19V904 MASTER CYLINDER VALVE. MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED YET AND FIRST INFORMATION WAS THAT IT WAS EXPECTED TO BE DONE IN LATE 2020 NOW 3RD MONTH IN2021. WHAT IS THE TIME FRAME FOR REPAIRS AT THIS DATE. IS THERE PROGRESS BEING MADE? AT THIS TIME BRAKES ARE WORKING OK

I HAVE AN EMAIL SAYING MY CAR HAS A POSSIBLE DRIVER AIR BAG DEFECT.GIVE MORE INFORMATION PLEASE

I CAME TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF A GROCERY STOREAND APPLIED THE BRAKE BEFORE TURNING THE CAR OFF. THE NEXT THING I K NEW THE CAR WAS HEADED TOWARD WALL. THE CAR HIT THE WALL B WITH FORCE THAT EMPLOYED MY AIR BAG.AND DAMAGED THE FRONT OF MY CAR. THIS IS NOT THE ONLY INCIDENT I HAVE HAD WITH THE BRAKES . I ALWAYS TRY TO DRIVE A CAR LENGTH FROM THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME FOR FEAR OF THE BRAKES MALFUNCTING....

I HAVE AN AIRBAG LIGHT THAT COMES ON IN THIS CAR, THERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE EXTENDED COVERAGE FROM WHEN THEY REPLACED IT THE FIRST TIME UNDER WARRANTY FOR 1ST RECALL, DEALER TRYING TO SAY I MIGHT HAVE TO PAY TO DIAG IT BECAUSE IT COULD BE UNRELATED, BUT ALSO I JUST READ AN ARTICLE DATED 1/22/2021 STATING THERE IS ANOTHER AIRBAG RECALL FOR 2006 ZEPYHR BUT MY VIN ISNT SHOWING UP. HTTPS://WWW.CARANDDRIVER.COM/NEWS/A35283747/FORD-AIRBAG-RECALL-3-MILLION/

THE CAR HAS 82,000 MILES ON IT. THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR SEEMS TO BE ACTING UP. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ON THE NET, IT APPEARS THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE 04 WITH FORDS. IN ADDITION, THEY ARE ON THE 3RD GENERATION SENSOR. I WAS DRIVING NORMAL SPEEDS, THEN THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, KILLING THE POWER TO THE ENGINE, PUT ME IN A PRECARIOUS SITUATION ON A 45 50 MILE AN HR ROAD. SINCE THIS KNOWN ISSUE SINCE 04, SEEMS LIKE FORD SHOULD REPLACE THIS. IT'S A 20 DOLLAR PART, RETAIL, BUT WITH THIS MOTOR, YOU HAVE TO BUY A TOTALLY REBUILT THROTTLE BODY FOR 200+. IT IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT CAN SLOW THE CAR RIGHT DOWN AS YOU ARE DRIVING. IF YOU SHUT THE MOTOR OFF, IT 'REPAIRS' ITSELF AND WORKS NORMALLY.

THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON ALL THE TIME. WHEN YOU TAKE OFF THE CAR IS GUTLESS NO POWER. UNTIL YOU HIT TRACTION CONTROL OFF. SOMETIMES DOES IT AFTER. BIT. SOMEONE ALMOST HIT ME PULLING OUT FROM THE GAS STATION LAST NIGHT AGAIN, DUE TO NO POWER! IT ALSO MESSES WITH THE SHIFTING DUE TO THE TRACTION CONTROL IVE PUT EVERYTHING INTO MY CAR. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM DUE TO THE FACT IT CAN MESS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE THROWING OFF THE TIMING. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED, IVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE EXACT SAMETHING. THEN THERE'S THE BRAKES WHICH ARE NEW BUT YET THE PEDAL HAS TO BE PUSHED ALMOST TO THE FLOOR TO COME TO COMPLETE STOP.

RECIEVED RECALL NOTICE IN JANUARY 2020 INDICATING PARTS AVAILABILITY BY THE END OF FIRST QUARTER. STILL WAITING, DEALER IS STONE WALLING INFORMATION. COMPLAINT #111321247 FILED AND STILL NO CONTACT FROM LINCOLN OR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. WHEN ABS OPERATES, BRAKING IS ALMOST NON EXISTENT AND TAKES SEVERAL DAYS FOR THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL TO COME BACK TO NORMAL. BRAKING DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE NORMAL!!! STOPPING ON SNOW.

I HAVEN'T BEING ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR SINCE 2017 I HAVE 3 DIFFERENT RECALLS ON MY CAR & I FEAR FOR MY LIFE BECAUSE I HAVE A TODDLER NO BUYOUT CHECK OR RENTER CAR HAVE BEING PROVIDED FOR US BY FORD 3 ALMOST 4 YEARS LATER I JUST WANT MY BUYOUT CHECK IT CAN'T WAIT ON FORD TO FIX MY PROBLEM ANY LONGER MY RENTER I DID HAVE WAS REPORTED STOLEN BECAUSE FORD WOULD NO LONGER PAY WHICH IS PUTTING ME IN THE HOLE OF 12000 DOLLARS I DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY PLUS COURT FEES & FINES FOR A CAR THAT I DON'T WANT IN THE FIRST PLACE I'M AM NOW ASKING FOR 100,000 DOLLARS OR MORE FOR MY TIMES & TROUBLE PROBLEM & PAIN THIS HAS CAUSED ON MY LIFE I'M CAR LESS MONEY LESS & EVERYTHING WAITING ON FORD TO RESPOND PLEASE HELP MY CAR BEING SITTING FOR SO LONG IT DON'T EVEN WANNA START NOW I LOVE FORD BUT DO FORD LOVE ME...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 LINCOLN ZEPHYR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED.

THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V001000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 162,426.

THERE'S BEEN A RECALL ON THE VALVE THAT OPERATES THE BREAKS FORD SAYS IT'S UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND CAN'T GIVE ME AN ANSWER WHEN THESE PARTS WILL BE IN. NOW I SIT HERE WITH A CAR I CANNOT DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 LINCOLN ZEPHYR. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V904000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH IN THE SNOW THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED BUT WAS SLOW TO RESPOND. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED.

THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE CAR ACCELERATES AND LOSES SPEED ON SIDE STREET AND HIGHWAYS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF LOSS OF SPEED CONTROL.

THE PCM/ECM MODULE WENT OUT ON THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THERE WERE SEVERAL TSB'S ISSUED BY FORD REGARDING THIS ISSUE DATING BACK TO AT LEAST 2013 WITH ABSOLUTELY NO NOTIFICATION TO OWNERS WHOSE LIVES ARE AT RISK (SEE LIST BELOW). THIS MODULE IS THE MAIN COMPUTER, SO ALL POWER WAS LOST AFTER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGUN RAPIDLY FLASHING NON-STOP AND THE VEHICLE WAS SHAKING AGGRESSIVELY ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING. TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY THE REPAIR IS ESTIMATED AT NEARLY $4000 BECAUSE ALL SPARKS PLUGS, ALL IGNITION COILS MUST BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE THROTTLE BODY. (TSB NUMBERS RELATED TO THIS ISSUE ARE AS FOLLOWS: NHTSA ID #10052190, NHTSA ID #10109070, NHTSA ID #10048099)

GOT RECALL LETTER. AFFRAID TO DRIVE VEHICLE WITH AIRBAG THAT KILLS. DEALER DONT HAVE PART. NEED S LOANER TILL CAR IS FIXED BUT FORD POLICY IS LOANER ONLY DURING ACTUAL REPAIR IS DONE NOT WHILE WAITING FOR PARTS TO ARRIVE. WHAT IF ACCIDENT HAPPENS B4 PARTS GETS HERE.

CAR SPEEDS AND SLOWS DOWN ON ITS OWN ON HIGHWAYS AND SIDE STREETS IT IS VERY DANGEROUS

FORD IS RECALLING MY VEHICLE UNDER 19S54. FORD KNOWS OF 15 CRASHES RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM BUT THE RECALL NOTICE SAYS THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. HOW CAN THE VEHICLE BE SAFE TO DRIVE IF FORD KNOWS OF 15 CRASHES RELATED TO THE ISSUE? FORD SHOULD SUPPLY A RENTAL CAR UNTIL THEY ARE ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

CAR CONSTANTLY SPEEDS UP AND SLOWS DOWN DURING SHIFTING PROCESS. IT IS UNSAFE BECAUSE IT HAPPENS ON HIGHWAYS AND STREETS IT ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS. I HAVE BEEN TERRIFIED TO EVEN DRIVE THIS CAR. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS DRIVEN

IN CAR ACCIDENT ON DEC 12, 2019. UPON IMPACT. SEVERE PAIN CAUSED FROM AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. MYSELF AND MY SON WHEN BOTH HIT IN THE FACE. MY CAR WAS COMPLETELY TOTALED DUE TO AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT . MY CAR WAS TURNED A LITTLE TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID FULL BLOWN REAR IMPACT COMING UP OVER HILL. WAS ON A CITY STREET AND MY STEERING WHEEL WAS BROKEN IN HALF. I AM RECEIVING RECALL ON AIR BAGS 40 DAYS AFTER ACCIDENT OCCURRED. MY CAR WAS A TOTAL LOSS. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A RENTAL AT COST TO ME FOR ALMOST 6 WEEKS NOW.

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE WINDOWS OF OUR LINCOLN ZEPHYR WHICH WERE BEING SCRATCHED DUE TO A BAD FIT INTO THE DOOR PANELS. OUR LOCAL LINCOLN REMEDIED IT BY DOING A 'TECHNICAL BULLETIN' ON THE CAR. HOWEVER, IT IS STILL DOING IT AND THE WINDOWS ARE SO SCRATCHED YOU CAN BARELY SEE OUT OF THEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER TIME. IT'S MY DAUGHTERS CAR AND I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW BAD IT WAS UNTIL I HAD TO DRIVE IT. OUR LOCAL LINCOLN DEALERSHIP SUGGESTED WE FILE A COMPLAINT WITH LINCOLN CORPORATE BUT WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REACH THEM. WE PAID TO HAVE THE FRONT DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS WINDOWS REPLACED JUST RECENTLY BUT THEN FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM.

OUR FAMILY HAS ENDURED ALMOST 1 1/2 YEARS OF MENTAL STRESS WORRYING ABOUT GETTING INTO A SIMPLE FENDER BENDER BECAUSE IT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH AS RESULT OF A LIFESAVING DEVICE THAT COULD IN FACT KILL THE DRIVER AND/OR PASSENGERS. EVEN THE INSURANCE COMPANIES WOULD NOT ASSIST IN PAYING FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE AS A PROACTIVE APPROACH TO AVOID A POTENTIAL CATASTROPHIC EVENT. OUR SOCIETY IS OBSESSED WITH MONEY AND GREED, WE NO LONGER LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER. STILL WAITING FOR OUR VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED IN MICHIGAN.

A COUPLE YEARS AGO, WE RECEIVED A NOTICE ABOUT THE AIR BAGS. WE WERE TOLD THAT OUR DEALER WOULD CONTACT US WHEN THEY COULD CORRECT THE PROBLEM. WE'VE HEARD NOTHING FROM THEM. A FEW MONTHS AGO FMCO SENT ANOTHER WARNING ABOUT HOW DANGEROUS THE AIR BAGS WERE AND WE SHOULD AVOID HAVING PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. STILL NO CONTACT REGARDING REPAIR.

"TAKATA RECALL"..IN JULY OF 2016, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT MY VEHICLES TAKATA AIR BAG WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THAT WAS 16 MONTHS AGO. IT IS VERY DISTURBING TO KNOW THAT IF YOU HAVE AN ACCIDENT, YOU MAY BE SERIOUSLY INJURED BY METAL FRAGMENTS EMITTED FROM THE DEVICE. FURTHERMORE, I ASKED SEVERAL LINCOLN DEALER EMPLOYEES, ABOUT THE AIR BAG RECALL SITUATION, MANY REPLIED THAT THEY ARE STILL WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO BE DONE FOR THEIR VEHICLES AIRBAGS ALSO. I AM 84 YEARS OLD, I HAVE OWNED 4 LINCOLN CARS. IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE OF YOUR COMPANY TO WAIT OVER A YEAR (16 MONTHS IN MY CASE) TO NOT REMEDY A POTENTIAL MECHANICAL HAZARD IN YOUR PRODUCT. IF YOU HAVE AN ACCIDENT, YOU MIGHT SURVIVE IT, BUT THE AIR BAG WILL LIKELY KILL YOU. UNLESS I HEAR A GREAT REASON FOR THIS PITIFULLY LONG WAIT FOR REPLACEMENT, I PLAN TO SUE YOUR TAKATA COMPANY AND ALSO THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY FOR NEGLIGENCE AND MALICIOUS NEGLECT. BEST REGARDS

MY VEHICLE HAS AN AIR BAG THAT IS LISTED AS A POSSIBLE DEFECTIVE UNIT. FORD AND LINCOLN HAVE NOT CONTACTED ME ABOUT A REPLACEMENT, AND I HAVE TRAVELED TO MY DEALER, CARRIAGE FORD, CLARKSVILLE IN 47130, AND THEY TELL ME IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO OBTAIN ONE OF THE REPLACEMENT DEVICES, AND THERE IS NO ANTICIPATED DELIVERY DATE FOR THESE.

TAKATA RECALL FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATING ON THE DASHBOARD NOW. I CALLED DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THE PARTS FOR THE FIX WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL NEXT YEAR SOMETIME. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AS THIS IS A SERIOUS RECALL. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR.

TAKATA RECALL PASSENGER AIRBAG MAY EXPLODE CAUSING METAL TO FLY AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. THIS IS MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION WITH MY CHILDREN AND I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THEM BEING IN THIS CAR. WE HAD A DEATH DUE TO THIS IN MY AREA WITH A HONDA. I RECEIVED THE RECALL IN JULY. THERE ARE STILL NO REMEDIES TO THIS. I NEED THIS FIXED OR A RENTAL UNTIL SO.

TAKATA RECALL I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY 2006 LINCOLN. I DON'T FEEL SAFE HAVING A PASSENGER. MY CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH ONLY 48000 MILE ON IT. EVEN IF I WANTED TO SELL OR TRADE IN, WOULD I BE LIABLE. I NEED TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF RIGHT AWAY. WHOM DO I CONTACT AT TAKATA?

WHEN ACCELERATING THE VEHICLE HESITATES ,MAKES A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE AND WHINES LIKE THE GEAR IS STUCK SHIFTS VERY HARD WHICH CAUSES THE THE VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER CAUSING SPEED TO GO TO A CRAWL, WHICH IS VERY VERY DANGEROUS IN ANY TRAFFIC ESPECIALLY, WHEN I M ON THE HIGHWAY AND IN INTERSTATE TRAFFIC. THIS HAPPENS VERY FREQUENTLY.

CAR HAS A HARD TIME ACCELERATING/SWITCHING GEARS WHOLE DRIVING IN CITY OR ON THE HWY... CAUSING THE ENGINE TO BUCK. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE I'VE OWNED THE CAR. AT TIMES MY AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON. ..SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE SENSORS MALFUNCTIONING.

TIRES LOSE AIR ALL THE TIME. I EVEN BOUGHT BRAND NEW TIRES AND IT STILL HAPPENS. CURRENT MECHANIC ADVISE ITS THE WHEELS. THEY ARE ORIGINAL TO THE CAR AND I AM BEING TOLD ITS DUE TO THE WHEELS. NOW I AM SPENDING MONEY TO "CLEAN" THEM. NOT SURE IF IT WILL HELP BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM.

WHILE DRIVING ON A TOLLWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65-70 MPH, WE SUDDENLY LOST ALL ENGINE POWER, AND WERE UNABLE TO SPEED UP TO OUR EXIT. ENOUGH POWER WAS GENERATED TO ALLOW US TO EXIT THE TOLLWAY. WE WERE EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT NO CARS WERE FOLLOWING US, AND THANKS TO GOD NO TRUCKS WERE ON EITHER SIDE OF OUR CAR WHEN THIS OCCURRED. WE WERE ABLE TO SLOWLY REACH OUR DESTINATION. THE CAR IS NOW AT A REPAIR SHOP AWAITING INFORMATION FROM THE NEAREST LINCOLN DEALER. HIS COMPUTER TESTING SO FAR DOES NOT INDICATE ANY PROBLEMS.

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. HAD IT DIAGNOSED AND FAULT ACCORDING TO CODE WAS B229015 FAULT PPT D1 TO D3 RHS FRONT SENSOR NOT READING PROPERLY NEED TO REPLACE INBOARD AND OUTBOARD RHS FRONT RAILS THIS VEHICLE HAS HARDLEY EVER HAD A FRONT PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT AND THERE IS NO WAY THAT THESE RAILS SHOULD OR COULD BE DAMAGED OR BENT CAUSING THE SENSOR NOT TO READ. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE AND OR INFERIOR RAIL SYSTEM.

WHEELS NEED REPLACING, WILL NOT HOLD AN AIR SEAL THOUGHT IT WAS A TIRE DEFECT ,NOT SO ,I BOUGHT A 2 HP. AIR COMPRESSOR TO WEEP TIRES INFLATED. MECHANIC SAID NEW RIMS ARE NEED BEFORE NEW TIRES,ARE LINCLON RIMS BEEN UPGRADED//NEED TO REPLACE!!!

THE WHEELS ON MY CAR ARE CORRODED AND AS A RESULT THE TIRES WILL NOT HOLD AIR PRESSURE I HAVE HAD TWO SETS OF TIRES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM CAR HAS 85000 MILES TIRES WERE REPAIRED BUT PROBLEM REMAINED THE METAL SHOWS FLAKING CAR HAS NEVER BEEN HIT AND SHOWS NO OTHER SIGNS OF A PROBLEM TIRES LOSE 20 POUNDS OF AIR PRESSURE EVERY THREE DAYS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 LINCOLN ZEPHYR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT EVERY MORNING IN COLD WEATHER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE STARTS NORMALLY IN WARM WEATHER. THE CONTACT HAD TO CHARGE THE BATTERY IN ORDER TO DRIVE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER FOUND NO FAILURES WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,800.

THE DASH IS WARPING AND RISING UP IN THE CENTER. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS BUT IS NOW TO THE POINT THAT IT AFFECTS THE DEFROST FLOW OF AIR. THIS MEANS THE WINDSHIELD IS FREQUENTLY FOGGING OVER, AFFECTING VISIBILITY. I CAN NO LONGER FULLY DEFROST MY WINDSHIELD. LINCOLN HAS REFUSED TO FIX IT AT THEIR COST. THEY WANT AROUND $5000 TO REPLACE IT.

WHILE DRIVING ALONG AT APPROX. 50 MPH, WITH AN ADULT PASSENGER IN THE RIGHT FRONT SEAT, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IT REMAINS ON PERMANENTLY ANYTIME THE KEY IS "ON". IT HAPPENED WITHOUT WARNING ON A SMOOTH HIGHWAY IN GOOD WEATHER. THE INFORMATION SCREEN DID NOT GIVE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION, AND THE ONBOARD COMPUTER DIAGNOSTICS DOES NOT ADDRESS THE SITUATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 LINCOLN ZEPHYR. UPON INSPECTING THE WHEELS OF THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE ALUMINUM COATING ON THE WHEELS STARTED TO PEEL OFF. AS A RESULT OF THE ALUMINUM PEELING OFF OF THE WHEELS, THE TIRES WOULD NOT HOLD ADEQUATE AIR PRESSURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

RECENTLY HAVE HAD A TRUNK AJAR MSG ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHEN THE TRUNK LID IS SECURE.AT NIGHT AFTER ROLLING UP WINDOWS AND LOCKING THE CAR THE INTERIORS LIGHTS ARE NOT SHUTTING OFF(THIS HAS HAPPEN TWICE). HAD TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. UPON LETTING THE WINDOWS DOWN TODAY 8-7-15 FOUND THE SEAT HAD RETURNED TO THE FULL FRONT POSITION -BY ITS SELF. IT HAD DONE THIS BEFORE AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF 3 OR 4 TIMES.UPON DRIVING AND COMING HOME.THE DRIVER SEAT HAS NOT RESET ITSELF WHILE DRIVING SO FAR.MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ARE NOT SHUTTING OFF AT PRESENT.HOPE ITS LINKED TO THE TRUNK LID SENSOR OR WHATEVER IT IS.HAVE A SERVICE APPT.. AT FORDS 8-12-15.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 LINCOLN ZEPHYR. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE PULLED TO THE LEFT. THE VEHICLE WAS MERGED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, WHERE THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL NOISE EMITTING FROM THE RIM AS IF AIR WERE LINKING FROM THE TIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 99,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE DASH BOARD OF THE VEHICLE IS SEVERELY WARPED, I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS VERY COMMON WITH THIS YEAR MODEL. THE WARP IS AT THE DEFROST VENT AS WELL AT THE FRONT OF THE DASH ABOVE THE CLOCK. THE WARP IS A SAFETY CONCERN, AS DEFROST DOES NOT WORK AS IT SHOULD DUE TO THE WARPING. DOOR HANDLE (SPECIFICALLY DRIVES SIDE AT THIS TIME) WILL NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. YOU HAVE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW OR HAVE SOMEONE ELSE OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY CONCERN, AS IN CASE OF EMERGENCIES YOU CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR TO EXIT THE VEHICLE.

THE FRONT DASHBOARD IS CONTINUALLY PEELING UP. IT HAS BECOME WARPED AND I'M AFRAID IT MAY COMPLETELY PEEL UP WHILE I'M DRIVING. I WHOLEHEARTEDLY FEEL THAT THESE AUTOMOBILES SHOULD BE RECALLED AND THE PROBLEM DEALT WITH APPROPRIATELY. LINCOLNS ARE SUPPOSE TO BE UPSCALED AMERICAN LUXURY CARS SO HOW DO THEY PRODUCED SUCH A CAR WITH MEDIOCRE WORKMANSHIP? I'VE PRICED NEW FRONT DASHBOARDS AND THEY CAN RANGE IN THE $1200-$1500 RANGE, USED $300-$400 WITHOUT INSTALLATION. I LOVE MY LINCOLN BUT THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. SOMEONE NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE DIES! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 LINCOLN ZEPHYR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS WARPED CAUSING A SEPARATION FROM THE CONSOLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HANDLE DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DRIVING AT APPROX 30MPH MY TIRE BLEW OUT AFTER JUST REPLACING ALL 4 TIRES 3K MILES BEFORE. TOOK THE TIRE BACK TO THE MERCHANT AND THEY REPLACED IT BECAUSE I HAD A HAZARD PROTECTION PLAN WITH TIRES. REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES IN SEPT OF 2014 DUE TO NORMAL WEAR AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 3 TIRES DUE TO TIRE COMING OFF OF THE RIM WHILE DRIVING AND LOSING AIR PRESSURE, SLOW LEAK THAT RESULTED IN FLAT AND A BLOWOUT WHILE DRIVING AT 40MPH AND LANDED ME INTO A DITCH. THE TIRE MERCHANT INFORMED ME THAT THE WHEELS ARE DEFECTIVE DUE TO THE CHROME ON RIM PEELING AND DAMAGING TIRE AS WELL AS PREVENTING A SEAL BETWEEN TIRE AND RIM TO KEEP TIRE INFLATED. REPLACING THE WHEELS WITH MANUFACTURER WHEELS WILL RESULT IN SAME PROBLEM BEING THAT IT IS A DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT. I FEEL FORD NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT AND REIMBURSE CUSTOMERS FOR NEW WHEELS. *TR

WAS TRAVELING SOUTHBOUND ON I-39 WHEN TIRE BLEW OUT. HAVE HAD TO REPLACE TIRES SEVERAL TIMES AND TOLD BY DEALERSHIP AND 2 AUTO SERVICE CENTERS THAT THE RIMS ARE SO CORRODED THEY DO NOT HOLD AIR PROPERLY AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. ALL WHEELS HAVE CHROME FLAKING OFF. CAR CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 75K MILES. IN THE 2.5 YEARS I HAVE OWNED IT, PROBABLY HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE TIRES REPAIRED/REPLACED 10-15 TIMES. *TR

THIS CAR HAS A ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION FROM A FORD FUSION, ITS SHIFTING VIOLENTLY AND IS NOT SAFE. THE TRANSMISSION BUILT FOR THIS VEHICLE IS VERY POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP AND NO RECALL WAS MADE. SEVERAL VEHICLES HAVE BEEN AFFECTED BY THE LACK OF QUALITY CONTROL AT FORD. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 LINCOLN ZEPHYR AND I HAVE NOTICED THE CHROME ON MY RIMS IS PEELING OFF AND THE RIMS ARE BECOMING VERY CORRODED. THE TIRE KEEP DEFLATING DUE TO THIS PROBLEM EVEN AFTER YOU AIR THE TIRES UP THEY SLOWLY LEAK AIR. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO THESE RIMS AND IT COULD CAUSE A BLOW OUT DUE TO UNDER INFLATION AS THE TIRE SPECIFICALLY SAYS ON THE SIDE OF THE TIRE. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING I FELT THE CAR PULLING TO THE LEFT, AFTER EXAMINATION I NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER LEFT SIDE TIRE WAS FLAT. I MANAGED TO GET TO A GAS STATION, BUT WAS UNABLE TO INFLATE THE TIRE. THESE TIRES WERE PURCHASED IN NEW IN MAY 2014. I HAVE DRIVEN FEW MILES BETWEEN MAY AND NOVEMBER, THE MILEAGE CAN BE VERIFIED WITH DEALERSHIP. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME THAT I HAVE PURCHASED TIRES FOR THIS VEHICLE. THE FIRST TIME WAS VERY SOON AFTER PURCHASE WHILE TRAVELING OUT OF STATE. I PURCHASED A NEW TIRE THEN THAT WAS VERY HARD TO FIND BECAUSE OF THE YEAR AND MAKE OF CAR. THE TIRES CONTINUED TO LOSE PRESSURE NEVER REALLY REMAINING INFLATED. I PURCHASED A AIR PUMP THAT I USED TO INFLATE THE TIRES, BECAUSE THE TIRES WOULD LITERALLY DEFLATE TO THE RIM. I AGAIN PURCHASED A FULL SET, BUT THE PROBLEM REMAINED. 2014 AGAIN PURCHASED A FULL SET, THEN 2014 PURCHASED ANOTHER TIRE. AS YOU CAN SEE THIS VEHICLE WITH ONE OWNER HAS VERY FEW MILES, BUT SEVERAL TIRE PURCHASES. LINCOLN/FORD NEEDS TO CLOSELY MONITOR THIS COMPLAINT. IT IS GETTING TO COSTLY TO CONTINUE BUYING TIRES FOR SOME REASON OTHER THAN THE DEFECTIVE RIM WHEEL. MY FAMILY SAFETY IS AT STAKE. *TR

THE PROBLEM IS RE-OCCURRING. WHEN THE WEATHER GOES BELOW FREEZING ICE BUILDS UP AROUND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY. THE CAR WILL START AND AS THE ENGINE STARTS TO HEAT UP THE ICE STARTS TO BREAK UP. AS SOON AS I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR PAST 25MPH AND I LET OFF THE GAS THE ENGINE STARTS TO STALL OUT SENDING AN ERROR SIGNAL TO THE COMPUTER AND THE WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON. I MUST SAY THAT THE PROBLEM IS VERY RANDOM AND DOES NOT ALWAYS OCCUR. I HAVE LEARNED FROM EXPERIENCE THAT I MUST PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE CAR. TURNING OFF THE CAR CAUSES THE COMPUTER TO RESET AND THE WRENCH LIGHT TURNS OFF AND THE CAR GOES BACK TO NORMAL. I AM UPSET BECAUSE AFTER I TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL DEALER THEY TOLD ME THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THAT IN ORDER FOR THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM I WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE THE CAR IN WITH THE WRENCH LIGHT STILL ON. IN REALITY, THIS MEANS THAT I WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE WITH A FUEL STARVED STALLING ENGINE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND I WOULD HAVE TO KEEP THE CAR RUNNING UNTIL SOMEBODY CAME TO HELP. AS SOON AS I TURN OFF THE CAR THE PROBLEM NO LONGER EXISTS. I HAVE READ MANY OTHER ONLINE POSTS AND BLOGS FROM OTHER LINCOLN AND FORD OWNERS DESCRIBING THE SAME ISSUE. I HOPE THAT FORD CAN ACKNOWLEDGE THIS PROBLEM. I AM VERY FRUSTRATED. *TR

THE WHEELS HAVE STOPPED HOLDING AIR FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME. REGARDLESS OF TEMPERATURE, SPEED, MILEAGE. MECHANICS HAVE REPORTED THAT BECAUSE OF THE FLAKING CHROME WHEELS, THEY WILL NOT HOLD AIR CORRECTLY FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME. HAVE PAID OVER $20 ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS TO HAVE BEAD SEAL, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT HELP UNTIL THE TIRES HAVE TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF UNUSUAL WEAR BECAUSE OF UNDER INFLATION. TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED AT AN UNUSUALLY HIGH RATE UNTIL IT IS NOT WORTH BUYING NEW TIRES AS THEY ARE TRASHED IN SHORT ORDER. NOW MY MOTHER DRIVES AROUND ON USED TIRES AND SHE HAS TO STOP IN INSTANT OIL CHANGE TO HAVE HER TIRE PRESSURE CHECKED ALMOST EVERY MORNING. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THESE WHEELS SPECIFICALLY. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL REGARDING THIS? THIS IS AN OUTRAGE THAT SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A MORE THAN $1500 FIX TO HAVE PEACE OF MIND. PLEASE DO SOMETHING SO THAT I CAN QUIT WORRYING ABOUT MY MOTHERS CAR, TIRES, HER LIFE! *TR

TIRES CONTINUALLY LOOSING AIR PRESSURE. MECHANICS SHOWED FLAKING AND CRACKING CHROME PLATING ON WHEELS THAT CREATE AIR LEAKAGE PATH AT BEAD/RIM CONTACT AREA. DAMAGE TO TIRES DUE TO REPEATED LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE. MECHANICS AT BELLE TIRE SAY THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 LINCOLN ZEPHYR WHEELS. WHY NO RECALL? REPLACEMENT WHEELS ARE APPROX $1,600! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 LINCOLN ZEPHYR. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE ALUMINUM SURFACE OF THE WHEELS BEGAN TO RUB OFF. AS A RESULT, THE SURFACE OF THE WHEELS BECAME IRREGULAR AND ALL FOUR TIRES DEFLATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

HAVE A 2006 LINCOLN ZEPHYR AND THE DASHBOARD HAS BECOME TERRIBLY WARPED WHICH HAS CAUSED MY WINDOW DEFROSTER TO NOT OPERATE PROPERLY. THIS IS SUPPOSE TO BE A LUXURY CAR AND THE DASHBOARD IS AN INTRICATE PART THAT HOUSES THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. LINCOLN/FORD SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND FIX THE PROBLEM PLASTIC DOOR HANDLES ARE BREAKING ON ALL DOORS. WINDOW ROLLS UP AND DOWN SCRATCHY. *TR

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACED THE TIRES ON THIS CAR 3 TIMES BECAUSE THEY ARE ALWAYS LOOSING AIR AND WEARING DOWN FAST.THE LAST TIME I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE RIMS THATS BEEN CAUSING IT. I CANNOT TAKE THE CAR ON LONG TRIPS BECAUSE I HAVE TO PUT AIR IN THEM EVERYDAY BEFORE I LEAVE THE HOUSE, NICE CAR CRAPPY MAKER THIS CAR HAS 62TM ON IT. I AM THE ONLY DRIVER AND OWNER OF IT. WHY IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON THE RIMS? IS THAT WHY LINCOLN STOP MAKING THIS MODEL? BY THE WAY THE LAST TIRES WERE PURCHED IN 2013 STILL PUTTING AIR EVERYDAY .WHAT IS LINCOLN DOING ABOUT THIS?THERE ARE NO CHEEP TIRES FOR THESE CARS . *TR

I HAVE HAD MY 2006 LINCOLN ZEPHYR FOR 1 1/2 YEARS. I NOTICED WITHIN ALMOST A MONTH THAT MY FRONT DRIVER TIRE WAS HAVING A SLOW LEAK. SHORTLY AFTER ALL MY TIRES WERE SLOWLY LEAKING AND I WOULD FILL THE TIRES TO 33PSI'S AS RECOMMENDED, BUT BY TWO DAYS THE PSI'S WOULD BE DOWN TO 8PSI. MY FIRST INCIDENT THAT OCCURRED WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND MY BACK PASSENGER TIRE BLEW OUT. I HAVE BOUGHT ALL NEW TIRES AND WITHIN ALMOST 3 MONTHS THE SLOW LEAK OCCURRED AGAIN IN ALL THE TIRES. I HAVE HAD MY TIRES RESEALED NUMEROUS TIMES ( THE RESEAL HOLDS FOR ALMOST 3 MONTHS) AND THE LEAK IS COMING FROM THE BACK OF THE RIM WHERE THE RIM AND TIRE MEETS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY MECHANICS THAT THE LEAKS ARE DAMAGING THE WALLS OF MY TIRE AND THE MECHANIC HAS PUT NEW VALVES ON AND THE TIRES STILL LEAKS. I HAVE INVESTED IN A AIR PUMP THAT PLUGS UP TO THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN THE TIRES MIGHT BE FLAT. I HAVE CONTACTED LINCOLN/FORD AND THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND SEVERAL ARTICLES/PAGES WITH SIMILAR PEOPLE TO MY SITUATION. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE, BECAUSE I NEVER WHEN A TIRE BLOW OUT MAY OCCUR AND WITH THE LEAK DAMAGING MY TIRES, IT LOOKS LIKE I MIGHT BE BUYING NEW TIRES QUIT OFTEN. WILL YOU PLEASE HELP MY AND OTHER 2006 LINCOLN ZEPHYR OWNERS. THANKS *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 LINCOLN ZEPHYR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING INDICATORS BEGAN TO ILLUMINATE CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. IN ADDITION, THE GEAR LEVER FAILED TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE UNTIL AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WERE MADE BY THE CONTACT. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 124,000.

IN NOVEMBER OF 2011, THE CAR BEGAN TO STUTTER AND STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR INSTANTLY CUT OFF. THE PCM AND IGNITION COILS WERE REPLACED AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP. IN JULY OF 2013 WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CAR BEGAN TO STUTTER AND IT CUT OFF. THE CAR WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND GIVEN THE SAME DIAGNOSIS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 LINCOLN ZEPHYR. THE CONTACT STATED ALL FOUR CHROME RIMS FLAKED AND THE TIRE PRESSURE DECREASED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE TIRES WERE LOSING PRESSURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 LINCOLN ZEPHYR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, SHE WAS STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER SIDES, CAUSING THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO A POLE. UPON IMPACT, THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE CHIN, HANDS, AND FINGERS AND A PASSENGER SUSTAINED MINOR KNEE AND SHOULDER INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND WAS NOT DIAGNOSED FOR THE AIR BAG FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND CAR LOST POWER. CALLED DEALER AND THEY SAID THE LIGHT WAS AN ENGINE MALFUNCTION. STATED NOT TO DRIVE IT. GOT IT TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP. WHEN THEY DIAGNOSED CAR THEY STATED THE PCM MODULE WENT OUT AND WAS SENDING UNINTERRUPTED ELECTRICITY TO ENGINE COILS AND SURPRISED THE CAR DIDN'T START ON FIRE. THEY ALSO STATED THE PCM MODULE WAS IN ITS 13TH DESIGN AS THEY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS BEFORE AND LINCOLN HAD A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AS IT HAS BEEN COMMON. *TR

HAD A FLAT TIRE GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT IT...IT HAPPENS. GOT A COUPLE OF NEW TIRES PUT ON AND A FEW MONTHS LATER IT HAPPENS AGAIN. RUINING THE $250 TIRE AGAIN. MY MECHANIC SAYS THE CHROME IS PEELING OFF MY RIMS AND THAT IS WHAT IS CAUSING ME TO LOSE AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRE,AND THAT I SHOULD REPLACE THE RIMS. THEY ARE ABOUT $550 A PIECE SO THATS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. THESE CARS THAT HAVE LOW PROFILE TIRES NEED TO HAVE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS BECAUSE YOU CAN'T LOOK AT THE TIRE AND TELL ITS LOW. IF FORD DOESN'T FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THEY ARE WRONG.I WORK AT A FORD DEALERSHIP AND I SEE STUPID RECALLS FOR THINGS THAT MIGHT HAPPEN ONE TIME IN A THOUSAND. BUT I BET THIS IS HAPPENING TO ALL THE ZEPHYR,FUSIONS,MILANS, OR ANYTHING THEY ARE PUTTING THESE JUNK RIMS ON. *TR

2006 LINCOLN ZEPHYR. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE WHEEL RIMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED FOR THE LAST YEAR-AND-A-HALF, HE HAS BEEN LOSING AIR IN AT LEAST ONE OF HIS TIRES. APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS AGO, HE NOTICED HE HAD BEEN LOSING AIR IN THREE TIRES. AN INDEPENDENT DEALER INFORM HIM THAT THE LOSS OF AIR WAS DUE TO CORROSION AND CHROME FLAKING OFF THE WHEEL RIM. HE RECOMMENDED THAT THE CONSUMER REPLACE ALL FOUR OF THE WHEELS RIMS. BECAUSE OF THE HIGH COST OF THE WHEEL RIMS, THE CONSUMER DECIDED TO MONITOR THE AIR LOSS AND ADD AIR AS NEEDED. OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS, IN THREE TIRES, HE BEGAN LOSING BETWEEN 10-20 POUNDS OF AIR OVER A FOUR OR FIVE DAY PERIOD. THE OTHER TIRE MAINTAINED AIR PRESSURE. THE MANUFACTURER AGREED TO REPLACE TWO OF THE RIMS. *JB

THE 2006 LINCOLN ZEPHYR WAS TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 40 AND THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE SUDDENLY BLEW UP. THE MECHANIC INSPECTED THE CAUSE AND CONCLUDED THAT THE ORIGINAL ALUMINUM LINCOLN-FACTORY WHEEL WAS DEFECTIVE. THE MECHANIC ALSO INSPECTED THE OTHER THREE WHEELS AND THE SAME PROBLEM IS CONTINUING TO OCCUR WITH ALL THE 2006 LINCOLN ZEPHYR WHEELS. THE MANUFACTURING DEFECT WAS DESCRIBED BY THE MECHANIC AS FOLLOWS: THE CHROME IS PEELING OFF THE WHEEL, WHICH PREVENTS A GOOD SEAL BETWEEN THE WHEEL AND THE TIRE, RESULTING IN THE LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE. THE SUDDEN LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. *TR

IM FILING THIS COMPLAINT DUE TO HAVING ISSUES WITH MY 06 LINCOLN ZEPHYR. WHILE DRIVING MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT TURNED ON AND IN ORDER TO GET THE LIGHT TO TURN OFF I HAD TO TURN OFF MY VEHICLE AND RESTARTED IT BUT THE LIGHT HAS NOT COME BACK ON SINCE THEN. IM ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY PASSENGER SIDE A/C SEAT CLIMATE CONTROL RANDOMLY TURNING OFF COMPLETELY ON ITS OWN. IM ALSO HAVING ISSUES WITH MY A/C BLOWING HOT AIR AND I WAS TOLD IT'S A SENSOR DEEP IN THE DASH THAT COST APPROXIMATELY $25.00 BUT THE LABOR IS $500.00 PLUS. I NEED TO FIND OUT IF THERE ARE ANY RECALLS FOR THE 2006 LINCOLN ZEPHYR V6 3.0. *TR

IN NOVEMBER 2008 I PURCHASED A 2006 LINCOLN ZYPHER WITH 28000 MILES. AT THIS TIME THE PASSENGER BACK INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE WAS BROKEN. THE DEALER ARGUED WITH ME BUT FIXED THE ITEM. ONE YEAR LATER IN THE FALL OF 2009, THE DRIVERS SIDE BACK SEAT HANDLE ALSO BROKE AND WOULD NOT OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. PASSENGERS HAD TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW AND PULL THE HANDLE FROM THE OUTSIDE TO OPEN THE DOOR. IF THE CAR IS NOT RUNNING YOU ARE TRAPPED. FEB 2012, THE DRIVERS SIDE HANDLE ALSO BROKE, LAST NIGHT MARCH 30 2012 THE PASSENGER HANDLE BROKE. I JUST SPENT TWO HOURS ONLINE AND FOUND NEARLY 1400 OTHER FORD/LINCOLN OWNERS CLAIMING THE SAME MALFUNCTION OF THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES BECOMING DISABLED. IF THE VEHICLE HAS NO POWER YOU ARE UNABLE TO EXIT IF THE WINDOW IS UP. THIS SEEMS TO BE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. FORD/LINCOLN NEEDS TO REPAIR THE BROKEN HANDLES AND CHANGE THE DESIGN OR INCREASE THE QUALITY. I GUESS SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO DIE FIRST BEFORE THE COMPANY TAKES RESPONSIBLITY FOR THEIR CHEAP UNSAFE DESIGN AND MECHANICAL FAILURE. *JS

2006 LINCOLN ZEPHYR. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO PROBLEM WITH BRAKES *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED UPON ARRIVING AT AN INTERSECTION, HE APPLIED THE BRAKE, AND THE PEDAL NEARLY WENT TO THE FLOOR, THE ABS SEEMED TO ACTIVATE AS HE MOVED INTO THE INTERSECTION. THE CONSUMER NOTICED THE ABS WAS IN CONTROL, AS HE TRIED TO BRAKE. THE MECHANIC CHECKED THE BRAKE SYSTEM, INCLUDING THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL, WHICH WAS NORMAL. THE MECHANIC TOOK THE VEHICLE FOR A TEST DRIVE AND NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL NEARLY WENT TO THE FLOOR, AFTER WHICH THE ABS ACTIVATED. THE MECHANIC SAW A HEAVY ACCUMULATION OF ICE/SNOW TOWARD THE INSIDE SECTION BEHIND THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL. THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED LETTING THE SNOW/ICE THAW. ONCE IT THAWED, THE BRAKING SYSTEM RETURNED TO NORMAL. *JB UPDATED 02/24/12

THE ALUMINUM WHEELS ON MY 2006 LINCOLN ZEPHYR ARE PEELING AT THE TIRE CONTACT POINT CAUSING A DETERIORATION OF THE SEAL CAPABILITY OF THE WHEEL. THE TIRES EVENTUALLY WON'T SEAL PROPERLY AND LOSE AIR PRESSURE UNTIL THE TIRE IS EITHER REINFLATED, OR GOES FLAT. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED, SEVERAL TIMES BUT WOULD ONLY CLEAN THE WHEELS, AND RESEAL AND REINFLATE THE TIRES. THIS TREATMENT LASTED APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS UNTIL THE TIRES BEGAN TO LOSE AIR AGAIN. WE RECEIVED NO SATISFACTION FROM THE LINCOLN DEALER REGARDING ANY PERMANENT CORRECTIVE ACTION FOR THIS PROBLEM. WE WERE TOLD WE'D HAVE TO REPLACE THE ALUMINUM WHEELS, BUT WERE GIVEN NO GUARANTEE THE NEW WHEELS WOULD PERFORM ANY BETTER. *TR

AFTER HAVING MULTIPLE FLAT TIRES - WHICH I INCORRECTLY ATTRIBUTED TO BAD LUCK - I DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM WAS NOT MY TIRES AT ALL, BUT WAS INSTEAD, THE CHROME PEELING ON THE INNER RIM OF THE WHEELS, WHICH NOT ONLY CREATED AN AIR LEAK FROM THE SEAL NOT HOLDING, BUT ALSO DAMAGED THE VERY-EXPENSIVE-TO-REPLACE TIRES. I LEARNED THIS WHEN I TRIED TO PUT 4 NEW TIRES ON THE CAR, THINKING MAYBE ALL THE FLATS WERE DUE TO THE BRAND OF TIRES, AND COSTCO SHOWED ME THE PEELING CHROME PROBLEM AND TOLD ME NOT TO WASTE MY MONEY ON NEW TIRES UNTIL THE WHEELS WERE REPLACED. WAS INFORMED THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH THE CHROME PLATING IS NOT A PROBLEM FORD WILL FIX AT THEIR EXPENSE AND THE COST FOR PUTTING NEW NON-CHROME WHEELS ON THE CAR WOULD ALL BE MINE. APPARENTLY SUDDEN FLATS DUE TO DEFECTIVE CHROME IS NOT REGARDED AS A SAFETY ISSUE BY FORD. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 LINCOLN ZEPHYR THE CHROME IS PEELING OF THE WHEELS CAUSING THE TIRES TO LOOSE AIR PRESSURE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW AND CURRENTLY HAS 9,000 MILES WE PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT WAS TOLD THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE I BEG TO DIFFER. *TR

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING, BUT PARKED, THE A/C SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING. AIR CONTINUED TO BLOW, BUT IT WAS HOT INSTEAD OF COOL. DIAGNOSTIC REPORT SAYS THE ACET SENSOR FAILED. REPAIR WAS DECLINED DUE TO COST ($550). NOW, EVEN WITHOUT ANY CLIMATE CONTROLS ENGAGED, THE PANEL GETS VERY HOT WHEN THE CAR IS RUNNING. IF THE SEAT A/C IS ENGAGED, IT WILL WORK UNTIL THE PANEL GETS HOT, THEN IT WON'T WORK ANYMORE. IF THE FAILED ACET SENSOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OVERHEATING BEHIND THE CLIMATE CONTROL PANEL, IT MAY BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND NOT JUST A COMFORT ISSUE. *TR
