I have a repeated problem where excessive corrosion around the wheel rim causes a loss of tire pressure. I have to repeatedly have a mechanic grind and reseal the wheel rim. Bead sealer alone is ineffective due to the level of corrosion. I can lose 15 -20 lbs of pressure in an hour when this occurs. I have had two tires that have been damaged by a rapid loss of pressure. I am concerned to take the car on longer trips because I have to repeatedly check the tire pressure.

In february 2010, at speed of 25-35mph loud squeaking occurred. Took it to ford dealership to be checked and discovered it was the lower ball joints,and control arm, I had read there had been a recall. Ford said my 2000 lincoln was not part of the recall so I paid the outlandish price for repair. It is now october 2012 and, once again, I have the same problem. I am sure that if I contact ford, they will say that my car was not part of the recall. It is hard to believe that the same problem could occur with only an additional 32000 miles on the car and in this short amount of time if there was not some underlying problem in the first place. Would you please check into this further for me? Thank you.

2001 lincoln ls--front passenger wheel- there was alot of squeaking noises coming from the wheel before incident occurred. Yesterday, going through a drive-thru, I heard a pop. I got out and inspected the vehicle. The fender was resting on the tire. I called a tow truck and as he was trying to put the car on the tow truck, he showed me the damage. The bolt that holds the ball joint and control arm to the wheel came off. Please investigate this for me, and contact me when you find something out! Thx

I have a 2000 lincoln ls, 6 months back took the car to dealership cause of squeaking noises, dealer fixed right control arm ball joint...... Two months later having same problem only on left side, I noticed it out of nowhere, the car started jerking to the other direction when the steering wheel was still straight....very scary when driving with family......why has there been no recall for this problem? They say my car is not apart of the recall, but im very afraid to keep driving the car, unsure of what will happen in the future...I notice alot of complaints with this same problem as the ball joint recall for 2000 ls but lot of lincoln ls 2000 not on recall, why?

2000 lincoln ls brought to the dealership to fix a problem with squeaking, still squeaks. They fixed right front control arm ball joint(so many lincoln ls 2000 still on the road with this problem, & no recalls for it?) why? Now that I had the front right control arm ball joint replaced back in june, I have the same problem on front left side today, very expensive to fix. I've heard to many complaints about this same problem but no recall???? Same problem now on front left side. Very dangerous!
