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.

My Lincoln became victim to the notorious Ford 4.6 V8 intake manifold leak. Although upgraded from plastic to metal in 2003, even the upgraded one can develop a leak. I changed it out myself (with the help of YouTube). Relatively simple, but time-consuming process. Replacement manifold is $169, but requires draining the coolant. An additional $30 covered new coolant, and a specialized tool for unhooking the fuel line.

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.
