They finally figured out that they had the intake cam sensors plugged into the exhaust cam sensor ports and the exhausts in the intake plugs. Pretty funny that it takes a "Ford field service engineer" 2 weeks to figure out something so simply, pretty pathetic actually. They should be taking applications for his position.
Lincoln denied the buy back because they fixed it.
We just logged over 100 miles on it and it actually runs amazingly. It has wayyy more power than it ever had before, the exhaust roar stopped, the check engine lights finally gone.
I'm pretty sure we will probably keep it unless it throws another BS cam code.
Lincoln truly F'd us hard on this, as its devalued beyond belief, but my wife plans on keeping it for 6-8 years, so it really won't matter in the end. I know we could stick it to them on the lemon law, but they'll only be obligated to pay us like $55K for it and you won't find a 4th gen Black Label L 4x4 with tow pack that's absolutely flawless inside and outside with the interior and exterior colors we have for anything under $70K in todays market. So with that being said, it would be stupid to lemon law it and f with all that trouble and then need to pull $20K from our pocket to buy a "different identical one". It just makes no sense financially at this point. We have 8year/125K warranty on it too, so they can just fix it until that runs up.

I'll guarantee I'll NEVER buy another Lincoln product again, and I WILL tell every single person I come in contact with to also NEVER buy one as they don't give a $hit about their customers and to buy from a company that actually cares about their customers.
