2000 Lincoln LS review from North America
"Insurance and Extended warranties do not seem to work anymore"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
We had a big rain last week and when it was done the trunk filled up with water shorting out the entire electrical system (Ford put the battery and distribution panel in the trunk!!). Over $6K in damage, I have extended warranty, but does not cover it, insurance might not cover it due to water. The car is a total loss they say, but had little performance problems beforehand. Replaced window mechanism three times, ball joints once, fogged headlights always there. Appears a crack developed in the rear seam of the car between tail lights that let water in. Power surge likely destroyed modules via water soaked cables. Looking for a lawyer.
General comments?
Hidden problem is the Achilles heal in this car.
