“I have a 2006 Lincoln Zephyr and the dashboard has become terribly warped which has caused my window defroster to not operate properly. This is suppose to be a luxury car and the dashboard is an intricate part that houses the instrument panel. Lincoln/ford should recall these vehicles and fix the problem. So far the only other problem I've experience was with the steering which was repaired under my warranty.”
NHTSA complaint #10584351, filed 2014-04, 65,000 miles“The front dashboard is continually peeling up. It has become warped and I'm afraid it may completely peel up while I'm driving. I wholeheartedly feel that these automobiles should be recalled and the problem dealt with appropriately. Lincolns are suppose to be upscaled american luxury cars so how do they produced such a car with mediocre workmanship? I've priced new front dashboards and they can range in the $1200-$1500 range, used $300-$400 without installation. I love my Lincoln but this is unacceptable. Someone needs to address this problem before someone dies!”

NHTSA complaint #10586530, filed 2014-05, 60,125 miles“Issue with weak, inadequate welds on a 2006 Lincoln Zephyr. This issue is related to ford TSB 06-24-07, and involved the subframe of the vehicle. Since the subframe not only hold the engine and supporting parts, the area in question is also integral to the front suspension/steering. This is a safety hazard is a weld breaks when the vehicle is in motion and poses a serious injury risk.”
