Complaint received via E-mail. My car which had a recall for lower ball joint inspection (not torqued to proper specifications) in November 2000. My complaint is I heard loud clanking noise emitting from front suspension with bad vibration in steering wheel. I brought the car to the dealership, where I purchased the car from to check out the noise. As a mechanic was driving the car into shop, the suspension snapped and the car and suspension fell to ground. I went to dealership and informed them that this was a recall. I was informed that the vehicle's first owner brought the car in for the recall tbs# 00S39 to a Lincoln dealership in safford Maryland.
Power windows drop down intrmittently. Dealer has replaced regulator for all 4 windows. Did not remedy the problem. Consumer states dealer will not replace until relay switch(s) have failed. In a separate occasion, the front end of the vehicle vibrates when driving beteen 58-75 mph. Getting worst at higher speed. Tires were balanced, but vibration still exist.
