“2002 Lincoln Continental. Front air dam made of brittle plastic and breaks if it touches anything. This vehicle has 8500 miles and two air dams have broken. Lincoln/merc dealer replaced one but refuses to replace another. Customer service says the damage is due to driver carelessness and refuses to replace. This item is extremely fragile and has no give . The dealer at first stated that this is a known problem with the Continental but now states it is the customers fault . …”
