problem #2

May 252006

LS 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 65,000 miles
The car was running out of coolant very fast. Then the check engine light kept coming on. You can smell fumes coming through the heating vents. Took it to the dealer & oil is mixing with the spark plugs & with a water midst. Bought the car in 09/2005 with 39,000 miles. Engine needs replaced at 67,000 miles. Haven't been able to drive the car in 5 months. Estimate cost to replace with a used engine is $3,794.60. The dealer sold this car in this condition. They need to recall all the Lincoln Ls.
