“Regarding 2000 Lincoln LS 6 cyl. Within a period of one year I had 3 windows in the vehicle fail, both at the back and the other at the passenger window, which was the latest on 10/27/03. In all three, the regulator assembly and the cable have failed. Ford has told me that there have not been any recalls issued regarding this occurrence.”
NHTSA complaint #10041367, filed 2003-10, 16 miles“Dt: the contact owns a 2000 Lincoln LS. The air bag warning light first began to blink, and it is now staying on all the time. The dealership told the contact that this was what the air bag warning light did. The problem with the light first began about one month ago. Updated 11/16/2005 - the right rear windoe would not come back up. The dealer had to replace the window regulator assembly because it had broken.”
