1 Rear Axle Spindle problem of the 2000 Lincoln LS

Failure Date: 07/03/2014

My vehicle had a recalled and the work was performed at crouse Ford in pennsylvania in June 18 2002. Unfortunate from the information I received on the recall, the initial inspection and work was never done although the recall was said to be satisfied. The recall was for the lower steering suspension torque on the front of the vehicle but the only work was performed based on the dealership notes were the left spindle was replaced. I have called the Lincoln center to get them to look into this and the representatives were very short and disrespectful. They would not give me names of immediate supervisors as if they were trying to hide something. I was told the investigation was thoroughly investigated but the representative told me she never read the recall and only took the word of the dealership in spite of the dealership explaining to her what work was done was clearly not on the recall but from a warranty standpoint. Could you please look into this for me or give me a call so I can give you a better explanation. As of now the car isn't safe to drive based on what the recall was initially for even though its 12 years later. 252-702-2615.

2 Rear Axle Spindle problem of the 2000 Lincoln LS

Failure Date: 06/21/2010

Without any warning, my daughter was driving her 2000 Lincoln Ls and the left front lower ball joint stud broke and the wheel jammed under the fender and the car swerved to the rt side of the road. I called the local Lincoln dealer and they stated that this happens quite often on the Lincoln Ls ball joints and they sell a $500 part to replace the ball joint and spindle. This is a very dangerous design and flaw if it breaks straight off with no warning. Good thing she was only driving 25mph when it happened and not 65 mph, who knows. I can only now worry that the right side might break too without warning??.
