My car has numerous parts that tear up repeatedly, within a 6 months time. Valve cover gasket had replaced twice within a 6 months time. The coil packs go up very often. I had panel buttons just tear up for no reason three times! wheel caps replaced numerous times. Overheating issues, door locking issues, battery replaced twice within 2 years time. Ac issues, (I never used my ac..at all). This car has a lot of problems on the T.S.bulletin. I contacted Ford in reference to the multiple issues I was having with the car, the company representatives told me to take the complaint to the establishment of which I had been dealing with. Then they said Lincoln is an independent owned establishment so I am totally confused by this whole ordeal, they know that they have had a lot of multiple problems out of that car. And they refuse to recall some of those (as I would say) hazardous issues. I was at the dealer 2 weeks ago, I was conversing with a rep. At the dealership and he was telling me how the Lincoln Ls was their most problem vehicle, and cash maker for repairs. (oh by the way.......I researched to find this site. To answer the question in the consumer section).

My 2002 Lincoln Ls's engine light came on at the end on may, I had autozone do a free test on it and it read that it was misfiring on cylinders 3 and 4. I took it on and had a tune up and replaced 2 of the 8 coils (which was about $500 total). A month later it started doing the same thing, it shutters when I reach the speed of 40 mph and it idles like a semi. I have yet to take it in, I rarely drive it because of it. I got an estimate for another $500, just for the other 6 coils.

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.

I was slowing down to turn right onto the on ramp of the highway when making the right hand turn and pressing on the brake the car just shut off. I lost power steering and brake power. After I used to emergency brake to stop the car, I was able to restart the car and continue on. The next time I drove the car, it mysteriously overheated. I took the car in and explained the sudden engine stope and the overheating...and the dealer only addressed the over heating problem. Nothing was said or discussed about the car just turning off for no reason.

2002 Lincoln Ls sometimes shuts off abruptly when under braking, including light braking. So far it has always been at low speed. However, one incident resulted in minor damage because the female driver was unable to steer around a very sharp corner due to loss of engine (and therefore power steering).
