2001 Lincoln LS visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Intermittently windshield wipers stopped working. Dealer replaced the windshield wiper motor. Also, the new motor malfunctioned. Manufacturer was informed of the problem.
While driving the head lights went out without warning. *nlm the seat belts would bind and did not retract, the windshield cracked (across) due to stress and was replaced, the vehicle lock system was replaced twice, the front headlamp was replaced twice due to condensation, and the windshield wiper system failed and was replaced as well. *scc
The windshield wipers failed while the vehicle was being driven in the rain.
Both rear window regulators failed. The replacement window regulator on the rear left failed and resulted in a shattered window which then damaged the door paint. Shoddy repair work then LED to further problems with the paint and finish. The faulty window regulators appear to be a chronic problem, since I know of another ls owner with the same chronic problem. This problem at the wrong time or place can result in serious safety and security issues. Does not give one a good feeling about when this could happen again. The fix applied does not appear to be any better thatn the original equipment that failed. Ford needs to develop a solid fix for this luxury vehicle with windows that do not operate properly.
Driver's side rear view mirror shimmies and shakes over bumps but the passenger side does not. Rear view mirror does the same and is very distracting. I am being told this is a normal occurrence with this car, and I have owned lincoln continentals since 1984 and none have done this ,and also I have a ford explorer which does not do this on the same roads.
