Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The radiator in my navigator failed due to busted core tubes and seaking seams. i have contacted the dealership and they requested an invoice with reason for replacement. i sent this information to them and they never contacted me as to whether i would be reimbursed. i then called themn and they said they would return my call of which they never did. i then filed complaints with consumer protection agency, fla. dept. of agriculture & consumer services, and called other agencies. since these agencies said i did not have any recourse, because the suv was locally repaired and the lincoln/mercury dealer did not do the work i didn't have a leg to stand on. since the first incident the radiator has had to be replaced again, with the same problem. i am a little old lady 59 years old who does not miss use my vehicle, therefore i suspect i have been taken advantage of by requesting repayment of the repairs made last october.*ak
