2000 Lincoln Ls-coils go out and the car stalls while driving on interstate and at red lights.

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?.

I own a 2000 Lincoln Ls with severe and erratic transmission problems which make this car unsafe to drive. I have spent over $2000. 00 with numerous trips back to the repair shop in trying to correct this problem, but the car still hesitates, bucks, and even shuts down at highway speeds at which time the car has no power steering or brakes!! reading up on forums, it appears that this is a very common problem with 2000 - 2002 Lincoln Ls's. Lincoln Mercury repair shops "shoot in the dark" trying to repair these problems costing customers across the country thousands of dollars and still can not come up with a solution. They have stated that it is an "uncorrectable computer glitch". I am sure that there will be people who lose there lives do to this problem if some haven't already. This a $40,000 car and my problems started when the car had only 30,000 miles on it. Ford should recall these vehicles and correct the problem before people get killed or seriously injured.

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.
