“Hi my car experienced an electrical short to the compressor motor for my 1985 Lincoln continental Mark Vii. I called ford motor dealers and then ford motor co. All of them said there was no recalls for my 1985. I am being lied to by them as I have found information contrary to their statements to me.

I believe they should be responsible enough to at least acknowledge there were recalls for my model. …”
