“I have advancetrac service warning, hill assist and ABS disabled and the steering wheel being heavier than normal plus the transmission slipping while acceleration and braking. The problem usually happens at wet or cold weather. It started once a day but now at least 50 times a day. Many times that happens when I start the car and turning the steering wheel but it also keep happening during driving. I went to the Lincoln dealer at franklin, tennessee and they kept the car for 3 days and after that they did nothing and took $140 for diagnosis!!!!!!!! …”
