problem #2

Mar 012007

LS 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 61,200 miles
Vehicle had burning oil smell coming from engine compartment, valve cover gaskets were leaking oil into spark plug wells, requiring spark plug replacement and possible coil pack damage if not gaskets not replaced. This just after a 60,000 multi-point inspection, oil change, air filter change, fuel filter change and fuel induction svc at another Lincoln dealer. Lincoln should recall all Ls's and replace the gaskets at no cost in order to prevent vehicle stalling at highway speeds, as coil packs and plug damage can occur and cause loss of power.
