Consumer stated the vehicle caught on fire while parked.
The radiator in my navigator failed due to busted core tubes and seaking seams. I have contacted the dealership and they requested an invoice with reason for replacement. I sent this information to them and they never contacted me as to whether I would be reimbursed. I then called themn and they said they would return my call of which they never did. I then filed complaints with consumer protection agency, fla. Dept. Of agriculture & consumer services, and called other agencies. Since these agencies said I did not have any recourse, because the SUV was locally repaired and the lincoln/mercury dealer did not do the work I didn't have a leg to stand on. Since the first incident the radiator has had to be replaced again, with the same problem. I am a little old lady 59 years old who does not miss use my vehicle, therefore I suspect I have been taken advantage of by requesting repayment of the repairs made last october.
