Door Hinge problem #1

I have a 2002 Lincoln towncar at 51200 mile I discovered that the door hing on the drivers door caused the door to make noise when you opened and closed it. I discovered the the door hing was defective. I fear that the door may come open if I hit a bump. The car has never been wrecked or mistreated. This is clearly a factory defect and Lincoln said they will do nothing about it.

Underbody Shield problem #2

Purchased new 2002 Lincoln towncar April 2002 from central florida Lincoln Mercury in orlando florida. Car is garaged all the time and now has 3000 miles on it. The chassis and various steel support and steering parts have severe and I mean severe rust. The dealer says it is more than they have seen but there is no problem. I have never seen rust as bad as this and I have seen a lot of cars in my life time as a mechanic. The rust looks like the car was in road salt for many years even though the car has not and only 8 months old. Ts.
