Example complaints

“Noticed the air compressor ran all of the time for the air ride system. The car was still in warranty took it to ford and they said they had fixed the problem. 800 miles out of warranty the ride side air shock went bad and burned out the compressor. Looked up old paper work and come to find out that they has put on a noise reduction kit on the compressor. So we could no longer hear it run. Contact the dealership as well as customer service at Lincoln. They told us sorry about your luck it is out of warranty. …”
