| Description of the problem | The front dashboard is continually peeling up. It has become warped and i'm afraid it may completely peel up while i'm driving. I wholeheartedly feel that these automobiles should be recalled and the problem dealt with appropriately. Lincolns are suppose to be upscaled american luxury cars so how do they produced such a car with mediocre workmanship? I've priced new front dashboards and they can range in the $1200-$1500 range, used $300-$400 without installation. I love my lincoln but this is unacceptable. Someone needs to address this problem before someone dies! |
