| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The power motors for the trunk and gas cap have never worked properly. the dealer would get it to work after two to three days it would stop again. at the end of 90 days or 3,000 miles they would know longer fix it. i can not find the numbers in the trunk that is surpose to help with getting a keyless entry code. how do i get that? the bad head gasket was discovered by a lincoln dealer before my warranty ran out but the dealer said it was not their responsibility. probably because a fan motor switch was not workig day of purchase and air suspension shocks stoped working within 3 day of purchase. i had to pay half for the shockes. after all of these things i decided to do some research. the local dealer had done a number of head gasket repairs for models 3.8l v6 for year 89 - 94, considerbly more than any other makes. i checked with two other engine repair shops. their records also showed more repairs for that motor size in a lincoln than any other motor size. i found out from lincoln motors that they had a recall on 94 model engines because of over heating problems. that was also the last year 3.8l engines were used. i would like to know why only 94s were recalled and not a recall for all 3.8l made between 89-94. data shows those motors had over heating problems causing bad head gaskets. i would like to be reembursted for the $1100.00 it cost me to repair my motor. why did lincoln go back to putting v8 engines in their cars in 95? please forward all replys to my e-mail address. |
