2004 Lincoln Ls

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 LINCOLN LS. WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED, THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO REPROGRAMMED THE PCM CONTROL MODULE. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY AND THE CONTACT STATED THAT IT WOULD ALSO RECUR WHILE DECREASING SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS WHERE THE PCM CONTROL MODULE WAS REPROGRAMMED APPROXIMATELY FOUR TIMES. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO RECUR INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ENGINE COILS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED EVERY THREE TO SIX MONTHS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO CONFIRMED THAT THE SEALANT ON THE HOOD CAUSED WATER TO LEAK INTO THE ENGINE COILS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 122,975.

I HAVE A 2004 LINCOLN LS THAT STARTED TO RUN ROUGH SO I REPLACED THE AIR FILTER. THIS DID NOT HELP SO NEXT I REPLACED THE SPARK PLUGS. THIS DID NOT HELP. THE THINGS THAT I HAVE DONE UP TO THIS POINT STARTED BECAUSE MY CAR STARTED MISSING AND RUNNING ROUGH HOWEVER I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS JUST THE BEGINNING OF A BIGGER PROBLEM IN THAT THE CAR WAS AND IS PUMPING GAS INTO THE ENGINE AND AIR INTAKE TO THE POINT THAT IT IS COMING OUT OF THE EXHAUST SYSTEM IN AN AMOUNT THAT CAUSES A STEADY STREAM AND IT POOLS UNDER THE CAR. THE INTAKE FILLS WITH FUEL TO THE POINT THAT THE AIR FILTER GETS SOAKED IN GAS AND I HAVE TO TAKE IT OFF AND DUMP IT OUT. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 3 WEEKS NOW AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. THE CAR HAS FUEL INJECTORS??? THE COMPANY AND THE DEALER HAVE TOLD ME TO BRING IT TO THEM AND THEY WILL FIX IT HOWEVER I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. EVERYTHING ON THE CAR IS CONTROLLED MY COMPUTERS EVEN THE GAS FLOW AND PEDAL THAT CONTROLS HOW FAST I GO. TO ME THAT IS WRONG. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY 2004 LINCOLN LS IN THE SHOP AT MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. STARTING AT AROUND 80,000 MILES ON IT, I HAD A VARIETY OF PROBLEMS ON IT WHICH COST ME SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS. BUT MOST RECENTLY AND THE BIGGEST PROBLEM THAT I HAVE NOW IS WITH IT RUNNING HOT. AS A MATTER OF FACT, THIS IS MY 5TH TIME TAKEN TO THE SHOP FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED MY THERMOSTAT FOR $200, NEXT TRIP THEY REPLACED MY COOLANT RESERVOIR $200, 3RD TRIP THEY REPLACED AN 0 RING $310 AND NOW IT'S IN THERE RIGHT NOW WHICH THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE TALKED TO THE GUYS IN THE SHOP AND THEY TELL ME THEY HAVE SEEN A TON OF PROBLEMS WITH THESE LS'S AND HAVE ALSO TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE AROUND TOWN THAT HAVE HAD BAD EXPERIENCES AND PROBLEMS WITH THESE LS'S ALSO. WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS PROBABLY A TON OF OTHER COMPLAINTS OUT THERE AS WELL. I BELIEVE THESE CARS ARE POORLY BUILT AND FOR THE MONEY THAT THEY COST, THEY SHOULD BE ALOT MORE DEPENDABLE THAN THIS. US LINCOLN OWNERS NEED SOME HELP WITH GETTING SOME RECALLS DONE ON ALOT OF THESE PROBLEMS. FORD MADE A TON OF MONEY ON THESE CARS WHEN THEY WERE SOLD. MINE COST $45,900 NEW AND THIS IS RIDICULOUS. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 FORD EXPEDITION & 2004 LINCOLN LS I JUST REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION FOR THE EXPEDITION @ 53,000 MILES IT QUIT ON ME ON THE FREEWAY ALMOST CAUSING AND ACCIDENT AND NOW A MONTH LATER SAME THING HAPPENED WITH THE LINCOLN LS I THINK SOME ONE HAS TO GET HARD ON FORD LINCOLN SAME THING IT IS NOT POSSIBLE THAT TWO CARS BOUGHT @ OVER $43,000 DOLLARS EACH ARE PIECE OF '!@#$% CARS I WOULD UNDERSTAND IF I HAD BOUGHT AN IKEA OR HYUNDAI I KNEW WHAT I WAS GETTING INTO, SOME ONE HAS TO MAKE FORD AND LINCOLN FIX THESE PROBLEMS WITH THERE PRODUCT MAYBE THAT'S WHY THEY ONLY OFFER A 27,000 MILE WARRANTY AND STILL HAD MY DIFFERENTIAL CHANGED ON THE EXPEDITION 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE WITH ONLY 3500 MILES ON THE EXPEDITION. *TR
