I HESITATE TO BUY ANOTHER LINCOLN. *AK

HEATER/AC BLENDER DOOR FAILURE RESULTING IN NO HEAT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE WHICH IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR SINCE DASH HAS TO BE PULLED---QUOTED BY DEALER TO BE $738. BECAUSE OF SO MANY OCCURRENCES WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A DEFECT THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD REPAIR? *NLM
