Transmission is faulty E-code pops check transmission and Ford doesn't know how to fix it come on! I was pulling out of a side street and I was pasted by a semi that with conditions barely missed T boning me cuz of this faulty whatever U wanna call it! I can't even check the [xxx] fluid! it costs $120 just to check it! it blows my mind U ca this car is considered safe and that this transmission issue hasn't been taken care of! people will die or I'm sure already have, the transmission is what drives the wheels how is it safe that U can't control ur speed! the thing acts different every day. Some days ok some days lagging and slow and some days the [xxx] thing takes off like I dumped the clutch and gunned it but I barely pushed the pedal! I've never been so dissatisfied and disappointed with laws rules regulations or whatever! every Lincoln Ls should be crushed or fitted with totally different transmission! information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Terminal issues with the transmission in my 2000 Lincoln Ls ! I and everyone else are having issues with the transmissions in the Lincoln Ls models. Both the V-8 & V-6 models have constant issues with transmission failures & puts the owners at risk while driving these vehicles ! I was passing a semi when my failure happened and the car lost complete power and we almost got hit head on by an oncoming car (that was nowhere in sight when I started to pass this vehicle) ! it takes no effort to discover that this is a habitual issue with this vehicle. I was a Lincoln salesman for over 3 years and I know that Lincoln builds a great product, and reliability isn't an issue with any of their other models. Please don't allow Lincoln to address this issue by saying, "well if your over 100K miles, we wont address it", becauseit will force us to go the route of spending $3500 to replace it with a genuine Lincoln tranny then they are happy. This is a safety issue, because this car will basically "shut itself down" when it encounters tranny issues, & Lincoln is going to say they don't know there is an issue............C'mon !

Vehicle is equipped with an automatic/manual transmission combination. In the automatic position the vehicle hesitates for approximately 20/25 seconds before engaging into gear from park. The dealership has ran a diagnostic test 4 times but no failure codes were found. The dealership indicated that this issue is a characteristic of the vehicle.
