Power window system for 2000 Lincoln Ls is defective. On or about August 2006, the power window system of the right passenger side became inoperable. Shortly thereafter, in November of 2006, the power window system of the left passenger side also became inoperable. Subsequently, I've learned that there are numerous complaints for this very same issue.
