THE DRIVERS SEAT IS VERY UNSTABLE WHEN TURNING CORNERS. THERE SEEMS TO BE 2 BLOCKS UNDERNEATH YOUR BUTT AND WHILE TURNING CORNERS OR WHEN YOUR WEIGHT SHIFTS IN THE SEAT THEY, SHIFT, POP UP, AND MOVE. YOU CAN HEAR AN AUDIBLE POP NOISE WHEN THIS MOVEMENT OCCURS. I'VE TAKEN THIS TO LINCOLN OF TROY (248) 905-6260 IN TROY MICHIGAN ON 2 OCCASIONS TO HAVE THIS CORRECTED AND SO FAR THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I'M SCHEDULED TO TAKE THIS IN FOR A 3RD TIME TOMORROW. IT'S VERY UNSAFE WHEN YOUR TURNING A CORNER AND YOUR SEAT STARTS MOVING. THIS COULD VERY EASILY LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS ABOUT 6500 MILES ON IT AND THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE ABOUT 4000 MILES.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON DIM AND BRIGHT ARE CUT OFF FROM THE TOP DOWN BY THE TRIM AROUND THE FENDERS. WHEN YOU GO DOWN AN INCLINE ALL THE LIGHT IS BLOCKED AND IT IS VERY HARD TO SEE. IF FOCUSES ALL THE LIGHT RIGHT DOWN UPON THE ROAD IN FRONT OF YOU. ALSO WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE ON BRIGHT IS ALMOST AS BAD. NO VISION FOR VERY FAR OUT.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your
pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the
