2010 Lincoln MKS 4dr Sedan

turbocharged 355hp 3.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD

1000 mi The Lincoln area tech found the problem to be a rather simple one. The male/female plug used for computer check under dash was broken. When the cover put back on, the male pushed the female reciever back, not allowing for a complete contect. Fixed. 
4000 mi Also the drivers door had to be adjusted because it would not close properly. 
10000 mi Also at that time the brackets that hold the drivers seat had to be replaced because the seat was loose and it would shift around when moving in the seat. 
35000 mi Left front fender still moving more than it should caused by a damaged inner wheel well. Dealer wanted $900.00 to fix it, and the part is only $150. I may do it myself when it gets warm this summer.
