I was in the middle lane of a 3 lane highway, the car is equiped with GPS and it shows I was driving at 53 MPH. All of a sudden the vehicle turned left into the jersey barrier bounced off and up and turned 180 degrees and drove across all 3 lanes. Luckily no other car was involved. All air bags deployed except steering wheel and dashboard. The drivers' side front of vehicle was smashed. The rear axle turned towards the drivers side”

“I received a recall letter from Lincoln in early 2020 for a recall on rear suspension tow links. I called the dealer and they said the parts are not available and will have them at the end of the year. I called them in october and they still saying no parts, yet the I called the parts department and they have the parts available if you wana buy it yourself. I drive this car in limousine service and this is such a safety concern not only for me but for the passenger sitting in the back. The customer service at ford dealerships sucks.”

“On April 30, 2021 as I was driving down the road my steering wheel suddenly starting turning left to right involuntarily causing me to lose control of my car and crash. My vehicle is a total loss and I had just paid heavty deposit and financed a Lincoln Mkt with a dealership that never disclosed to me that my vehicle I just purchased had a recall on it that had been issued last year. Now I am out of my deposit, no car, criminal charges for causing an accident that I could not control, and a company that was well aware of the recall gets all their money plus some and I'm the one in the wrong. …”
