I tool my car in for a recall, they said they could not fix the recall cux it was too rusted. They said the wouldn't even put it on a lift cuz of the rust, however it was just on a lift a week ago at an auto shop. Also when I dropped off my car the air conditioner blower worked, I go to pick it up and turn it on and nothing, I call and ask and they tell me they only touched the steering wheel, I said to him then why was power cux to my vehicle? you didn't disconnect the battery or anything he said no, however when I left the car with then it was on 9. 83 fm radio and when I got it back it was on a 500 station from am radio. So I know power was cut somehow. I need to know what to do. I can't keep driving with my brakes like this.

On April 21, 2021 I took my car to bob thomas Lincoln, 310 w coliseum blvd, fort wayne, indiana 46805 phone (260) 482-9876 invoice# 687347 for NHTSA safety recall 19v-904 which calls for the brake system to be pressure flushed with dot 4 brake fluid, this did not happen as when we got the car back the brake system reservoir was over filled and the brake fluid was very rust colored with numerous black particles suspended in the fluid not the clear or translucent fluid that would indicate the fluid had been pressure flushed, I called bob thomas Lincoln and got the big run around.
The traction control light comes on all the time. When you take off the car is gutless no power. Until you hit traction control off. Sometimes does it after. Bit. Someone almost hit me pulling out from the gas station last night again, due to no power! it also messes with the shifting due to the traction control ive put everything into my car. This is a huge problem due to the fact it can mess with the transmission and engine throwing off the timing. This should be recalled, ive seen many people complaining about the exact samething. Then there's the brakes which are new but yet the pedal has to be pushed almost to the floor to come to complete stop.
Ii am concerned about the amount of time it has taken for my vehicle to be evaluated for potential braking problems. My inquiry pertains to an existing recall (19v-904). I received a second letter from Lincoln yesterday regarding this matter that states that the parts will be available during the first quarter of 2021! considering that the recall was issued in December of 2019, why is this taking so long, especially because it involves potentially longer braking distance needed to bring the car to a stop? I find this delay to be unacceptable.

There's been a recall on the valve that operates the breaks Ford says it's unsafe to drive and can't give me an answer when these parts will be in. Now I sit here with a car I cannot drive.
Ford is recalling my vehicle under 19s54. Ford knows of 15 crashes related to this problem but the recall notice says the vehicle is safe to drive until the parts are available. How can the vehicle be safe to drive if Ford knows of 15 crashes related to the issue? Ford should supply a rental car until they are able to fix the problem.

Complaint #111321247 filed and still no contact from Lincoln or additional information. When abs operates, braking is almost non existent and takes several days for the brake pedal travel to come back to normal. Braking does not appear to be normal!!! stopping on snow.
While waiting at a stop sign, the vehicle in front of me started to go. Someone going across trafffic ran the stop sign. The driver in front of me hit the brakes to avoid collision.

2006 Lincoln Zephyr. Consumer writes in regards to problem with brakes the consumer stated upon arriving at an intersection, he applied the brake, and the pedal nearly went to the floor, the abs seemed to activate as he moved into the intersection. The consumer noticed the abs was in control, as he tried to brake. The mechanic checked the brake system, including the brake fluid level, which was normal. The mechanic took the vehicle for a test drive and noticed the brake pedal nearly went to the floor, after which the abs activated. The mechanic saw a heavy accumulation of ice/snow toward the inside section behind the right front wheel. The mechanic suggested letting the snow/ice thaw. Once it thawed, the braking system returned to normal. Updated 02/24/12.
