general problems of the 2000 Lincoln LS

Ball joint bolts loosen or don't tighten to specifications which causes a lot of wear and tear on the front end of my vehicle. I've had to have them replaced twice and tightened up or re-fixed several times it's unsafe at time. I take chances of my life safety. I mostly have had problems on the regular streets and to afraid at most times to even think about getting on a highway.

Timing belts had to be replaced it was $3500. Oo. August 2008 transmission had to be rebuilt n updated cost was $1989. 00. August 2013 both lower ball joints was replaced the right outer tyrod and left inner tyrod was replaced had to get new brakes and tires n it cost me $1200. 00. I gave $5000. 00 for the car so I have a grand total of $11,689. 00. Nothing but a piece of junk and now my security system is going crazy it goes off every few times u open the door so im sure its a electrical problem and thats lovely.

: the contact stated the lug nut wrench did not fit the lug nuts on the wheels which made it impossible to take the wheels off. The dealership suggested the contact buy new lug nuts. Updated 8/16/2006 -.

Smell of something burning - going to the dealership today. Headlight covers collect moisture. Airback light on - was quoted approximately $500 to fix. Driver side door does not open from inside - $85 to determine that the latch is worn off & again an estimate for $850 to fix the handle. Three out of the four power windows dropped down & had to be fixed in the last two years. Both the driver and the passenger seatbacks have fallen off. Driver seat makes noise when going/sliding back. On two seperate occasions I was unable to apply the brake when coming to a stop - car kept on rolling & I could not press the brake. Loud noise when accelerating between 45-55mph which I was told is "normal".

I purchased the 2000 Lincoln Ls in November 2002. I have had break trouble at the cost of $1000. In the past two weeks, I have been informed that the car has had catostrophic damage and would be better off buying a new engine. I'm highly concerned about this occurrence and request an immediate resolution to my concerns.

~both lower ball joints have failed ~driver side interior door handle doesn't work ~driver side door control strap broke ~vehicle transmission misses gear going up inclines ~vehicle misfires and engine idles rough at times, dealer found nothing wrong ~replace back right side and front driver side window regulators after failures ~moonroof switch went bad ~lug nuts on vehicle strip easily, have to replace most of them ~shifts extremely rough from reverse to park ~engine idle sound terrible for a luxury car, ever after dealer tune up ~had to replace engine gaskets, coolant leaked into engine block contaminating the oil ~headlights fog over after any precipitation, very dangerous ~lower front bumper is separating from the upper bumper.
