I roland matos purchased a Lincoln Mark viii on 06\27\01. Beautiful car. But 2 weeks after I was having problems with the powertilt\telescope steering. It wasn't moving back and forth any-more, and dropping its ball bearings on driverside mat. So I called county line Lexus where I purchased car, they told me that I bought the car "as is" they directed me to Ford. I called Ford and they told me that the manufacture warranty had expired. I had vehicle for less than a month, that I had to pay to fix it. So I contacted NHTSA and told them that the vehicle was unsafe to drive because the steering wheel is lose it moves up and down freely even without pressure. I've made 3 complaints. Up to this day its still not fixed.thank you for taking time to read this letter. Please help roland.
