“The traction control light comes on all the time. When you take off the car is gutless no power. Until you hit traction control off. Sometimes does it after. Bit. Someone almost hit me pulling out from the gas station last night again, due to no power! It also messes with the shifting due to the traction control ive put everything into my car. This is a huge problem due to the fact it can mess with the transmission and engine throwing off the timing. This should be recalled, ive seen many people complaining about the exact samething. …”

The auto show stated it was a poor design since you are unable to add lubrication into the ball joint. There is a national back order till may, so I have to drive my car unsafely until one is available.”
NHTSA complaint #10383286, filed 2011-02, 45,000 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.”
