When I drive approximately 35 miles, my 2002 Lincoln Ls wants to overheat and shut down on me. I have to wait till it cools down and then start it up and proceed on my way.
The transmission slips after it gets to 40 mph from 5th gear to 4th gear.
Purchased 2002 Lincoln Ls with the v8 motor and got extended warranty from mepco " vcs premier" ultimate warrant corp. For past 2-3 years this car has been in shop over 6 times; 3 times for overheating. First 2 times of overheating they stated the fan clutch was bad and replaced it and it seemed to not run hot as often but still had symptoms. . Now we are waiting to find out what the new problem is; in the meantime the warranty is about to expire and I feel I have a lemon car and the warranty has yet paid me back for past few repairs to this car owing us 726. 17 and if they don't fix the problem I am going to end up with a car note in repairs on this car soon. . .
(1) vehicle emissions system indicator light appeared on display (2) vehicle hesitates (jerks slightly) at speeds up to 60 mph, cars also kills randomly while the car is in motion (3) I have not done any repairs yet ( I have been searching for recall information) I have viewed many forums online on defective coil packs on these vehicles.
Car accelerates with no prior warning engine hit 3000 rpms had to slam on brakes did not hold car had to turn motor off. This has happened twice. Dealership couldn't reproduce this they replace idle air control valve they think this is the problem? I'm not happy with the fact they are not sure if this is it what if it happens again?.
Consumer states that while driving the vehicle and no warning the vehicle would accelerate. Dealer notified.
