THIS IS THE THIRD OF THREE INCIDENTS WITH THIS VEHICLE. ON THIS OCCASION I WAS TRAVELING 70 MPH IN THE FAST LANE OF THE EXPRESSWAY, WHEN THE ENGINE FAILED FOR THE THIRD TIME IN 1 YEAR. ON THIS OCCASION THE WRENCH SYMBOL CAME ON THE DASHBOARD. ACCORDING THE VEHICLE'S MANUAL THIS IS AN INDICATION OF A POWERTRAIN PROBLEM. THIS WAS THE CLOSEST THAT I CAME TO HAVING AN ACCIDENT. THERE WAS ONLY ABOUT 1000 FEET TO THE LEFT ON THE FAST LANE TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITHOUT HITTING THE GUARD RAIL. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 5 DAYS. WE WERE CALLED THE DAY AFTER WE DROPPED THE CAR OFF FOR SERVICING. AGAIN THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND WANTED TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO US WITHOUT RESOLVING THE PROBLEM. I INFORMED LINCOLN THAT I WOULD NOT TAKE THE CAR BACK UNTIL IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH LINCOLN TO SEE WHAT CAN BE DONE. *TR

I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER TO THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE RAMP (WITH NO POWER STEERING) AND COME TO A STOP. ON THIS OCCASION I WAS CLOSE TO BEING REAR ENDED. THE CAR DID START BACK UP AND I RETURNED HOME AND CONTACTED THE LINCOLN DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE WENT IN FOR SERVICING AND AGAIN THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED THAT I NEVER ALLOW MY VEHICLE TO GET BELOW 1/2 TANK BEFORE FILLING WITH GAS. *TR
