2000 Lincoln Ls problem: 2 induction coils need replacement. Rancho santa margarita Ford history: engine stopped on highway and on road home took to dealer and after inspection put auto in garage. Can not drive safely. One coil was replaced under warranty. Called Ford cust. Svs on this issue. They offered 12 month warranty on work. Thought "offer" was unusual; wouldn't dealer offer at least that? request: please review reported frequency of this problem for potential recall. . I submit this is a design flaw and safety issue and not a maintenance or wear & tear issue, unless owners' manual describes how I could have prevented or recommended time interval for inspection. . Research indicates this is the most common problem on model and caused by the gasket. This issue is on record with Ford in at least one bulletin (TSB 00t03 /9/2000 pcm-drivability complains).

My 2002 Lincoln Ls v8 has broken down in numerous ways. All ignition coils have had to be replaced, two window motors, airbag connector clip, my tie rod ends are bad, my car has actually shut off completely while driving up the 15 north three times while my son was in the car with me and now my transmission has completely stopped working. When it came to fixing the airbag connector problem Lincoln told me it was fixed and I went to pick up my car and it was still doing the same thing the three beeps so they fixed it for free and then told me my instrument panel on one side was burned out but the lights seems to work on it when I turn them on. They wanted to charge me 800 dollars for that but I refused. The ignition coil replacement was roughly 1000 dollars and I am waiting on my estimate for my transmission. Both window motors were 200 dollars a piece. I have had numerous taillights replaced and actually had a door lock jam closed on me. I truly feel that this car is a safety hazard for me and my son if it turns completely off at 65 miles an hour on a freeway with my son in the car.
