2000 LINCOLN LS GAVE WARNINGS OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, TRACTION CONTROL PROBLEMS, SERVICE ENGINE PROBLEMS. THE CAR WOULD DIE COMPLETELY AFTER ACCELERATION VIA STANDARD METHOD OR VIA CRUISE CONTROL.*AK MULTIPLE FORD DEALER VISITS HAD THE COILS REPLACED AND EXCESSIVE DIAGNOSTICS DONE BUT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEMS. DEALER WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE CAR DYING IN NORMAL OPERATING SITUATIONS. FORD CLAIMED THAT THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF SUCH A PROBLEM. LINCOLN DEALER KNEW THAT THE OIL COVERS LEAKED AND FILLED THE SPARK PLUG WELLS, IN TURN CAUSING ELECTRICAL SHORTS AND FAILURES.*AK
I JUST HAD TO REPLACE THE 4TH ELECTRICAL SPARK PLUG COIL (OUT OF 8) IN MY 2000 LINCOLN LS. COILS USUALLY DON'T FAIL. THIS ONE DID WHEN I WAS DRIVING UP INTO THE MOUNTAINS. THANKFULLY, I WASN'T PASSING ANYONE AT THE TIME, OTHERWISE, THINGS MAY HAVE GOTTEN UGLY. EACH REPAIR COSTS ABOUT $300, SO FOR ALL EIGHT CYLINDERS, I MAY END UP SPENDING $2400. I'VE NEVER HAD A CAR GO THROUGH COILS BEFORE. *JB
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS MY LS WILL CRANK BUT WILL NOT START. THE ANTI-THEFT INDICATOR ON THE DASHBOARD FLASHES WHICH INDICATES THAT THE CAR WILL NOT START. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS ONLY TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT STARTS JUST FINE FOR THEM. I HAVE HAD THE FOLLOWING REPLACED: TRANSCEIVER, ANTI-THEFT MODULE, COMPUTER AND THE CABLES THAT CONNECT THE TRANSCEIVER TO THE COMPUTER. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. *JB
ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS SINCE FEBRUARY, AN IGNITION COIL HAS FAILED IN MY LS(# 2,3,AND 6). EACH TIME THE REPAIR HAS COST ALMOST $300, AND IN ADDITION SINCE THE DEALER THOUGHT A SMALL LEAK IN THE VALVE COVER GASKET MAY HAVE CAUSED THE PROBLEM WITH #3, THAT WAS REPLACED FOR AN ADDITIONAL $225. IN THE 45 YEARS I HAVE BEEN DRIVING, I HAVE NEVER HAD A COIL GO BAD. THERE IS CLEARLY A DEFECT IN THE ORIGINAL COILS OR ENGINE DESIGN. THE DEALER HAS INDICATED THAT THEY HAVE REPLACED MANY OF THESE ON LS'S. *AK
