I HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY THE LINCOLN DEALERSHIP THAT THEIR HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS LIKE MINE, A CONSTANT LOSS OF AIR IN THE TIRES THAT COMES FROM THE RIMS BEING UNABLE TO HOLD THE PRESSURE. THE COST TO REPLACE THE RIMS WOULD BE $1400. TO FIX A TIRE LEAK ON MY CAR...???? *TR

I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND ONLY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. COULD IT BE BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP FIX MY STEERING COLUMN AND NOT MY DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG. *TR
