My vehicle started vibrating internally when I reach 70 miles per hour. If feels as though the seat has vibrator in it. Similar to the feel of a vibrating pager. This happens during acceleration. I do not feel anything at 60mph. When I reach 70 I can feel it the seat and gas pedal. The vibration continues unitl I reach 85mph. The dealership replaced the differential and has tried a number of things. They said that they would replace the rear end because the gears that they were getting would not help and would probably cause more vibration. They had a Ford engineer come in drive the vehicle. His responce the the vehicle was vibrating within acceptable limits. I asked what those limits were and he said that limit he determined when he drove the vehicle. I left the dealership on that comment.

I have contacted Lincoln about the paint and mirrors and they will not do anything about it. The mirror is on the driver's side is discolored and distored. I have to take the car to an autobody shop per dealer and was told that it was a defected paint job from the Lincoln. They will not do anything about it. Dt.
2002 Lincoln Continental. Front air dam made of brittle plastic and breaks if it touches anything. This vehicle has 8500 miles and two air dams have broken. Lincoln/merc dealer replaced one but refuses to replace another. Customer service says the damage is due to "driver carelessness" and refuses to replace. This item is extremely fragile and has no "give". The dealer at first stated that "this is a known problem" with the Continental but now states it is the "customers fault". The dealer also states that damage to the engine could occur of it is not replaced because it directs the air through the engine compartment. We have personally inspected other Lincoln vehicles and numerous have the either completely missing or damage air dams. It appears this is a quick $ 80. 00 profit for the company that could be easily fixed using softer material.
Forf spec. Serv. Message # 08873 states do not fix this condition. No safety defec tmentioned.
