239-horsepower 4.6L V8 4-speed automatic RWD
| 88000 mi US $450 |
Malfunction with the trunk opener/closer which turned out to be an electrical issue under the dash caused by the removal of a previously installed monitoring device installed and removed by a previous owner. Doubt this was caused by a dealer, probably a company shop owned by the lessor. |

Car is leaking refrigerant. Haven't taken it back to see where. I'm afraid it the compressor seals because I think the car sat for a while without operation. probably cheaper to charge each year than replace the compressor -- but haven't verified that yet. |

| 85000 mi US $750 |
Like the driver seatbelt assembly, the front passenger seatbelt assembly now had to be replaced for the same reasons of a failed connector. This is unacceptable. Never had a failure like this. I wrote to Lincoln about paying over $1,500 for repairs that should never happened. They told me in so many words "too bad". I was in the market for a new car at the time to replace my Saturn. I was looking at Lincoln. With their response, I instead bought Subaru. This was the first time in decades I did not buy a new Lincoln. Their back office doesn't understand customer relations. Still not sure I will return to Lincoln with my next contemplated vehicle purchase. |
