PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT LOW BEAM GOES OFF WITH NO INDICATION DOES NOT MATTER WHETHER STOPPED OR MOVING. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT BACK ON IS TURN LIGHTS OFF AND TURN BACK ON BUT IT DOES IT REPEATEDLY PER TRIP. DOES NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF THE CAR IS MOVING OR NOT. TOOK TO DEALER APPROX. THREE TIMES BUT COULD NOT FIND REASON FOR PROBLEM. DEALER SUGGESTED TO REPLACE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT COMPONENT AT A COST OF APPROXIMATE $3000. FIRST THE COST IS EXTREMELY HIGH, SECOND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE IS NO ANSWER TO WHY THIS IS HAPPENING. *TR

Water pump failure Car has 44,000 miles. Dealer maintained Safety - I am reading that engine can shut off Known problem with Lincoln/ ford water pump failures in engines Just purchased vehicle last month dealer filled up reservoir w coolant said it just evaporated did not appear anything was leaking Over heat lamp came on, noticed a lot of coolant on ground. From what I am reading class action in Canada was for same problem described as faulty design. Having to tear apart engines adds 14 hours of labor cost. From US class action lawsuit Miletello vs Ford and other suits class action was filed stating a faulty design with water pump being inside the engine. States it can cause catastrophic engine failure. Expensive to repair 14 man hours for labor. Ford has known about the problem and never fixed it.

WE PURCHASED A 2010 LINCOLN MKZ LAST YEAR FOR MY WIFE. AS SOON AS I DROVE IT OFF THE LOT I REALIZED THERE WAS A DRIFT TO THE RIGHT. WE DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR OFTEN AND WE DECIDED TO LET IT GO UNTIL THE FIRST RECOMMENDED CHECKUP. IT WAS CHECKED AND THE ALIGNMENT WAS FOUND TO BE IN SPECS AS PER FORD. THERE WAS ALSO A LETTER TO THE DEALERS STATING THAT THE DRIFT WAS A "CHARACTERISTIC" OF OTHER FRONT WHEEL DRIVE FORD PRODUCTS AND THERE IS "NO PROBLEM" WITH THE VEHICLE! I HAVE CONTACTED FORD EVER SINCE THE SERVICE AND THEY WILL DO NOTHING TO REPAIR IT. IF I LOOK AWAY AND DON'T REALIZE I HAVE EASED THE PRESSURE OF HOLDING THE WHEEL, THE CAR CHANGES LANES TO THE RIGHT AT ANY GIVEN TIME. NEVER TO THE LEFT WITH "ROAD CROWN IN THE ROAD, CROSSWINDS" OR WHATEVER AS DESCRIBED IN THE LETTER FROM FORD. AS OF YESTERDAY'S PHONE CALL, THE CUSTOMER REPRESENTATIVE SAID THERE IS NOTHING THAT FORD WILL DO TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT IS A "CHARACTERISTIC" OF THE VEHICLE!!!! AS PER THEIR NOTICE, THIS IS CHARACTERISTIC OF NOT ONLY THE MKZ MODEL BUT ALSO THE 2006 ZEPHYR, 2006-2010 FUSION/MILAN, AND THE 2007-2010 MKZ AS WELL. I DO WISH YOU CAN INVESTIGATE THEM AND CORRECT THIS SAFETY PROBLEM SINCE MY WIFE AND I PLAN ON DOING A LOT OF TRAVELING THIS SUMMER WITH THE CAR AND I'M ACTUALLY AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ON TRIPS. *TR
