  • 58,000 miles
My Lincoln Ls 2005 was doing fine than 53000 miles hits that's nothing on vehicles and. My transmission is jumping gears four and five are horrible I cant exceed 55mph..id understand on a vehicle that has 160000 miles but I mean 53000 give me a financial break. I bought this car thinking nice shape mint condition but never did I realize nor read up that these things give out and that the transmission have had all kinds of difficulties..these need to be recalled instead of 100S of Lincoln Ls owners to be handed another financial burden..help us out you all make a killing anyhow. Put yourselves in our shoes...

Problems with car stalling after stop (I.e. not responding easily to gas pedal) and jerking into gear since purchase. Problem reported to dealer one year post-purchase with no resolution. Car continued to get worse - going from periodic to constant problems with stalling and jerking into gear (from a stop and also from reverse into drive.) at 39,000 miles now we are told a new transmission is needed. Despite reporting the problem while the car was under warranty (it is now two weeks out of warranty) neither dealer nor Lincoln are responding to the issue.

I have continued to have transmission problems with my Lincoln Ls since I purchased the vehicle brand new. Now it is in the shop officially for what appears to be an expensive bill in tough times. I found that the problem is consistent with the Lincoln Ls owners. This should qualify for some type of recall. I do not drive at erratic speeds that would wear the transmission. Especially when it was brand new. Please do something, Lincoln owners support american automotive company's and this is the result. Make good on american products!!!
