This vehicle has had emission, mechanical, and electrical problems . This is primarily emission issues between the check engine's and the gas tank.

Koons Lincoln-Mercury service technicians have stated that the emission light stays illuminated because vehicle has a defective fuel vapor transfer system. Air bag light was illuminated due to a defective left front air bag sensor. Brake lights inoperative due to a switch stop lamp and broken wire. This defect almost caused me to get rear-ended in stop and go traffic on baltimore's beltway.

Vehicle started to act sluggish, engine check light came on. Vehicle was not operating properly. Took to dealer who said that it was a multi-function relay switch that caused air pump not function properly.
