1 Alternator/generator/regulator problem

Failure Date: 07/31/2003

This past April I had to take my car in to get the driver side window regulator fixed. It is now July and my rear passenger window regulator now needs replaced. My other two windows will also need to be fixed if I were to roll them down. For all my regulators to go out at basically the same time, to me means that there is a defect with these parts.

2 Alternator/generator/regulator problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2000

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!.
