general problems of the 2005 Lincoln LS

The contact owns a 2005 Lincoln Ls. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 mph, the parking brake, abs, and traction warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was merged to the side of the road, where it was turn off and restarted however, the failure persisted and recurred multiple times. The vehicle was not taken to a mechanic to be diagnosed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 175,000.

It was driving fine one day until I went to start it. It said etc engine fail safe mode, check parking brake and something about the gears. It starts sometimes, I've had it shut down while doing 50 mph and lose steering and bad braking. This is a potential hazard for my newborn in the car. Now it wont start and no one knows what the problem is. How can they sell a car that they cant find out the problem on themselves and sell it?.

As soon as the warranty expired the vehicle bagan to have intermittent error messages about the parking brake needing service and the climate control began to blow only hot air. Vehicle has very low miles, garaged meticulously, serviced. Lincoln contacted about the issue and was told I needed to have dealer run diagnositcs and then they could know whether they may be able to help with repairs to climate control. Paid 170. 00 for diagnosics, dealer and Lincoln refused to do anything sticking me with the bill. They made the excuse that it was my fault because it may have occured because I didnt drive it enough. I was shocked , its first time that ive heard suggested that taking care of something caused it to break! . Rediculously poor customer satisfaction department.
