I bought the car on 08/28/2010 and only drove it that day. Since it was a saturday and they closed early, i had to wait until monday to contact them. On monday, a rep from the dealership told me that they sold the car to me from someone who didn't have a dealership or title for the car and he was using their dealership to sell and to retrieve the title once the sell was final. The car was ok when i left the dealership, but after a couple hours it died on me while i was driving almost causing a accident. On the dash it keep saying, "check charging system". I know a lil about cars and i really need the transportation because i'm a college student at the university of wisconsin-milwaukee, i decided to try to get it fixed to my knowledge, but it seems as if it's something more to this "lemon" auction auto sold me. I replaced the alternator, voltage regulator and bought a new battery and nothing has changed. It'll drive for a hour or two then die while i'm driving. *tr

Dt: the contact owns a 1995 lincoln continental. Received nhtsa campaign recall 98v323000. Vehicle manifested the same problem as listed in the recall concerning rear lower sub frame mount plate nut that could experience stress corrosion cracking if subjected to long term exposure to road salts. This can result in fracture and loss of the structural integrity of the subframe mount attachment. Detachment of the body mounts at the rear corners of the sub frame which supports the engine and transmission, allows the rear corners of the subframe to drop. If both rear corners drop steering would become suddenly very difficult, affecting vehicle's control and increasing the risk of a crash. This recall did not include the year o vehicle but she had this same problem. *ak *tt

Then, today january 11th the same thing occurred but after the car was turned off for a couple of hours the problem increased. I started the car, the 'door ajar' sensor came on along with the lights. Again the doors were checked, they were all shut. As i started to drive the lights went off, then when i came to a complete stop. The lights would turn on, and when i pushed the gas the lights faded away and turned off. When i turned my car off and locked the doors the lights stayed on for over 10-15 minutes.
