Drove about 30 miles slow down to a red light when engine went into failsafe mode but did not throw any codes. There was no check engine light at all. It took a couple of tries to get it running again. I am very concerned for my safety while driving extensively on highways without any clue as to how to solve this issue.
It was driving fine one day until I went to start it. It said etc engine fail safe mode, check parking brake and something about the gears. It starts sometimes, I've had it shut down while doing 50 mph and lose steering and bad braking. This is a potential hazard for my newborn in the car. Now it wont start and no one knows what the problem is. How can they sell a car that they cant find out the problem on themselves and sell it?.
This low mileage vehicle (20,300 miles) shifts from park into reverse with a sudden lurch and thud. Also when accelerating in daily driving vehicle pauses and then a hard shift or two with lurch forward. Occurrences are increasing in frequency. No computer codes or warning lights illuminate. Called Ford/Lincoln customer service and was told that problem was similar to TSB 05612 but build date for VIN is 6/2005 so no further assistance offered. Safety is becoming an issue.
Pressed on accelerator and car jerked and stalled as red light turned green. The delay and sudden jerk almost causing a rear end collision in the intersection. Transmission has been intermittently surging for the las 2-3 thousand miles. Incredibly scary to drive this vehicle in normal traffic conditions.
Owner of a 2005 Lincoln Ls. Car shuts down and goes on throttle mode at any given time. It seems to occur after a heavy rain fall. This failure occurs several times a month and be very dangerous to drive. To supposedly correct this issue, I have taken it to a Lincoln dealership to be robbed because they can never figure out the issue. Please help!.
The transmission shift abruptly and very hard gear shifts at times. I also had the car loose complete power while driving at low speeds. I would press the accelerator but the car would not respond to the throttle input.
