The vehicle lost acceleration. The vehicle was to the dealership and the mechanic determined there was a problem with the transmission . Under fast acceleration, the transmission would sometimes shift into neutral for 2-3 seconds, to regain drive the consumer had to release the accelerator and wait for the transmission to re-engage. The dealer replaced the transmission valve body. This did not totally correct the problem.
2000 Lincoln Ls . The valve body in the transmission does not work properly. I took the car to the local Lincoln dealer jack kain Ford Lincoln Mercury in london kentucky. The valve body was bad and I had to wait for two weeks while the valve body was ordered. The wait was because the valve body had to be reengineered due to previous problems. I don't think I should have to pay for the repair and this should be covered by the manufacturer.
Nhtsa recall 00-v-35-000: consumer's two years old son, engaged the vehicle from park to drive and damaged a fence and the front of the vehicle as well. Dealer notified. Consumer has the same problem as mentioned in recall; however, this vehicle was not included in recall due to VIN.
Car has been back to dealer at least 6 times for transmission not shifting properly and jerking into gear harsly- I am being put off by dealer. . Car has done this continuous. . Has been to three dealerships and none can resolve this problem. I feel this is such a safety problem for me and my child. There could have been an accident on three different occassions. I have begged the dealer to just put me in another 2000 Lincoln Ls. I bought the car June of 2002- car immediately started this problem and has continued. I paid 23,900 for my car 6 months ago and dealer today tells me he will give me 15,000. 00 for my car and will put me in another Lincoln Ls for 3600. 00 more dollars. Please help- I have contacted Lincoln to start a dispute settlement. I feel this is more a safety hazard than anything.
When putting vehicle in drive it surges forward and when in reverse the vehicle surges backwards. The dealer has been notified. The dealer replaced the pcv valve yet the problem still exist, the dealer then determined that the transmission was defective which caused the surging.
I own a 2000 Lincoln Ls, I have had an entire engine replaced. I have also had a transmission replaced 2 times. Along w/ replacing gaskets which leaked oil and shorted out the plugs etc. Major things! I have had numerous window regulators replaced. Seat heater replaced and headlight covers that constantly fog w/ any moisture still even after replacing several times. Radio was replaced, along w/ rear brake light bulbs short out all the time due to moisture in rear light covers! now more transmission problems in the 1000's of dollars.
Consumer put vehicle in drive and vehicle went backwards.
Was shifting into drive when transmission started to whine & not shift at all. Then suddenly it would jerk hard into gear. Later would try to pass another vehicle, it would jerk hard going into overdrive. Complained to dealership numerous times, but not taken seriously. After last complaints informed that vehicle not safe to drive in that condition.

When the transmission is placed in gear it moves a little then stops(as if in neutral), then all of a sudden it lunges forward without consumer's foot on the gas. Nlm.
When vehicle is taken out of park into reverse there is a noise, a quite noticeable popping sound. Vehicle was serviced by heritage Lincoln-Mercury in greenville, SC the problem has return, unsure if this noise occurs in the 2000 Ls models.
When putting vehicle in reverse, and keeping the foot on t brake, vehicle jumped backwards. Also, it happened when putting vehicle in drive after going into reverse. Dealer has seen vehicle 3 times, and couldn't fix it.
