problem #1

Dec 162004

Town Car 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 63,250 miles
"roaring" noise from the rear end at 30-50 mph. Dealer (metropolitan Lincoln-Mercury in louisville, ky) diagnosed the problem as worn rear axles and axle bearings. Axles, bearings, seals, and brake rotors were replaced at a cost to me of $932. I was told there is a recall to fix this problem because of a early failure in the axle shafts due to an inadequate heat treating, but my vehicle was "not on the list" that qualified. See NHTSA campaign id # 04V328000. If I have the problem that is being fixed by the recall, why isn't my vehicle covered?
