HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS A RECALL ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 97V171000). COMPONENT: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:GEAR POSITION INDICATOR THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS MODEL , BUT THIS VEHICLE IS NOT UNDER THE RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING THERE IS A NOISE COMING FROM FRONT OR REAR. PREVIOUS OWNER HAD A PROBLEM WITH REAR DIFFERENTIAL. HOWEVER, MECHANIC WAS INSPECTING VEHICLE TO SEE WHAT OR WHERE THE PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING.*AK

THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM -DANGER ! I HAVE NO VEHICLE AND FORD MOTOR CO. REFUSES TO HELP. WHAT IF THERE HAD BEEN A CHILD IN FRONT OF MY CAR. IT STARTS IN REVERSE AND DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED IN DRIVE, ACCELERATED FORWARD AND HIT A TREE BEFORE I COULD STOP IT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. SOMEONE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE TRANSMISSION ON MY NAVIGATOR WENT OUT AND CAUSED ME TO ALMOST BE KILLED ON THE OHIO TURNPIKE. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND ALL THE DEALER COULD DO WAS INSULT ME. I HOPE THAT NO ONE ELSE HAS THIS PROBLEM B/C IF IT WEREN'T FOR MY DRIVING ABILITY I WOULD BE SENDING THIS FROM THE GRAVE!!!!*AK

IN ATTEMPT TO FIX PROBLEM DEALER BALANCED TIRES, REPLACED TIRES AND CHANNGED DRIVE SHAFT TWICE. LINCOLN CUSTOMER ASSISTANCES SAID THERE WAS SOMETHING NOT RIGHT BUT COULD DO NOTHING. THE VIABRATION IS BECOMING MORE VIOLENT WITH AGE AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THE VIABRATING PART COME LOOSE AND THAT MYSELF OR A PASSEN BE INJURED. FORD ENGINEERS KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM. FIX THE PROBLEM, EXPLAIN THE PROBLEM VOUCH ANG FOR THE SAFTEY OF THE VEHICLE WHEN OPERATING AT 62 MPH A THE VIABRATION IS PRESENT??

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED TRACTION CONTROL PROBLEM CAUSING VEHICLE TO SPIN 180 DEGREES.(ATTORNEY FOR CONSUMER).

WHILE TURNING A CORNER IN THE RAIN THE VEHICLE DID A 360 DEGREE TURN AROUND AND ENDED UP FACING ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ALSO WHEN THE VEHICLE TAKES OFF ON AN INCLINE THE TIRES JUST SPIN AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE. MANUFACTURER SAYS . *AK *NLM

WHILE DRIVING IN RAIN AT 60 MPH CAR STARTED TO HYDROPLANE, 360 IN ROAD, TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACED SINCE THE LATEST INCIDENT. DURING ANY RAIN COMPLETE TRACTION WITH THE CAR IS LOST. DEALER CONTACTED, AND ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK
