I HAVE A 2004 LINCOLN LS WITH A LITTLE OVER 96,000. THIS CAR HAS BEEN GIVING PROBLEM WITH ACCELERATION. WHEN I PUSH THE GAS, THE CAR HESITATE AS IT SWITCH GEAR. I HAVE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID, IT'S THE TRANSMISSION SO I TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THEY SAID, NO PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION SO I TOOK IT TO AUTO ELECTRIC SHOP AND THEY SAID, "THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH CAR" BUT I HAVE STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM SO FRUSTRATED AND I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CAR. IS CAR IS A LEMON. *KB

MY 2004 LINCOLN LS V6 SEDAN LOSES POWER AND STALLS. THE WRENCH APPEARS IN THE WINDOW AND THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. ONCE THE COILS WERE REPLACED; MOST RECENTLY I TOOK THE CAR AND THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THIS MORNING I WAS ON THE TURNPIKE IN HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC AND THE CAR LOST POWER, THE WRENCH APPEARED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. I'M FRUSTRATED THAT A CAR WITH ONLY 45K MILES AND IN OTHERWISE GOOD CONDITION CAN NOT BE DRIVEN WITHOUT FEAR OF CAUSING A MAJOR ACCIDENT. THE WARRANTY HASN'T COVERED THE PROBLEM -- I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS -- AND I'VE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. WHAT IS BEING DONE TO INVESTIGATE THIS OFFICE DEFICIENCY? *TR

I OWN A LINCOLN LS V8 WITH 55,000 MILES. WHEN I SHIFT INTO REVERSE IT CREATES A HARSH SOUND, LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO FALL OUT.

SOMETHING MUST BE DONE!
