2003 LINCOLN LS 3/15/04- EXPERIENCING CLICKING NOISE ON RIGHT TURNS, SUN ROOF LEAKS UNDER CARWASH,AND VEHICLE COASTS TO THE RIGHT. DEALER STATES THAT SUN OOF NOT MADE TO WITHSTAND SUCH PRESSURE, VEHICLE COASTS BECAUSE CARS ARE MADE TO COAST TO THE RIGHT IN CASE YOU FALL ASLEEP IT WOULD AVOID HEAD-ON COLLISON ON LEFT, CLICKING NOISE IS BRACKET ASSEMBLY, SHOCK ASSEMBY AND FRONT COIL. DEALER REPAIRED ONLY CLICKING NOISE FROM 3/15/04 TO 4/7/04. I PICKED UP THE CAR AND DROVE ~ 10 MILES WHEN THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND HAD TO RETURN VEHICLE. FINAL REPAIRED ON 4/9/04. *AK
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 17 INCH CHROME WHEELS, THE CHROME WHEELS WERE NOT HEAT-TREATED. THESE WHEELS MAY CRACK AT THE LUG-NUT HOLES, WHICH COULD RESULT IN THE LOSS OF THE LUG-NUT TORQUE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THIS CONDITION OCCURS, THE DRIVER MAY EXPERIENCE NOISE AND/OR VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. CONTINUED OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE COULD RESULT IN THE WHEEL SEPARATING FROM THE HUB, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE WHEELS TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE WHEELS HAVE BEEN HEAT-TREATED. ANY WHEEL THAT HAS NOT BEEN HEAT-TREATED WILL BE REPLACED. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN APRIL 14, 2003. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT LINCOLN AT 1-800-521-4140.
