Terminal issues with the transmission in my 2000 Lincoln Ls ! I and everyone else are having issues with the transmissions in the Lincoln Ls models. Both the v-8 & v-6 models have constant issues with transmission failures & puts the owners at risk while driving these vehicles ! I was passing a semi when my failure happened and the car lost complete power and we almost got hit head on by an oncoming car (that was nowhere in sight when I started to pass this vehicle) ! it takes no effort to discover that this is a habitual issue with this vehicle. I was a Lincoln salesman for over 3 years and I know that Lincoln builds a great product, and reliability isn't an issue with any of their other models. Please dont allow Lincoln to address this issue by saying ,"well if your over 100k miles , we wont address it", becauseit will force us to go the route of spending $3500 to replace it with a genuine Lincoln tranny then they are happy . This is a safety issue , because this car will basically "shut itself down" when it encounters tranny issues , & Lincoln is going to say they don't know there is an issue . . . . . . . . . . . . C'mon !.
I have a 2000 Lincoln Ls 3. 9l v8 with approximately 115,000 miles and I have been experiencing unintended acceleration in my vehicle. Although the experience is different than the toyotas that accelerated to 100+ mph it may be able to provide some insight upon what is going on with the current problem at hand. First I have to note that my vehicle does not have a check engine light on and seems to be in good working order being that I drive it every day to and from school. I am very attached to my car and service it regularly. When I start my car put it in gear and press on the gas the car will start to rev uncontrollably and accelerate, I have to jam on the breaks to stop the vehicle while this is happening. When I jam the transmission into park the car continues to rev without input from me but the acceleration stops. The car has been to the dealership for a fuel injection service because I thought it may be the throttle getting stuck. To no avail it didn’t solve my problem and I hope it can provide some insight to save lives.
I believe my 2000 Lincoln Ls is unsafe to drive do to the fact that the shifting is erratic. This car has actually cut out on me several times, on the highway all lights, power steering, brakes everything and gave me an error message. The message stated gear shifting error. My dealer doesn't know what to do. Why are they are registered as a Lincoln dealer if they can't fix Lincolns?.
My 2000 Lincoln Ls has had numerous mechanical problems resulting in thousands of dollars in repairs. The car is in the shop right now having the transmission replaced.
The window safety lock does not operate, and I am unable to control the left rear window from the driver's control panel.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
Purchased my 2000 Ls in October of that year. In 2001 had to have regulator on back passenger window replaced. Since then 2 more back window regulators have also been replaced at cost of approx. $700. Had to have coil replaced. Car has always hesitated shifting into reverse. At 40 mph car runs roughly, shakes. In June this year car would not start after shutting off. Some computer valve sticking; dealership told my husband to take a rock and hit it to free it up so car will start. Several times car would not start at all for no apparent reason. Called dealership about ball joint noise under front of car; they said nothing wrong. Front passenger door drains plugged --- door filled with water that sloshed when coming to a stop. Called dealership(s) --- no help. Called Lincoln hotline - no help. They said it was a 5 year old what do we expect!.
Consumer states he noticed that miles per gallon indicator was not working properly.
The decorative cap that covers the lug nuts swelled which made it difficult to change the tires. The wrench that came with the vehicle could not remove the decorative cap. Please provide further details.
