“I was going up to new york and car stalled on busy I 95 north highway. I got it towed to mechanic in nj. He told me fuel pump relay module and fuel pump is broken. He fixed it. I called Lincoln about recall for fuel pump relay module recall and of course they denied my complaint, they told me that my VIN is not in their recall. Actually fuel pump relay module was broken two times in same car costed me over 1000$ to fix plus towing... Unacceptable and dangerous”
