2005 Lincoln Ls

SINCE PURCHASING THIS CAR, ITS BEEN NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS. THE PROBLEMS I'VE EXPERIENCED AREN'T ANY DIFFERENT FROM ALL THE OTHER LS OWNERS. COIL PACKS GOING BAD, THE A/C BLOWING HOT AIR, THE CAR GOING INTO FAIL SAFE MODE WHILE ON THE FREEWAY, THE SMELL OF GASOLINE INSIDE THE CAR. IT LOOKS LIKE THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN GOING ON SINCE FORD STARTED PRODUCING THE CAR. NOW WONDER THEY NEEDED BAILOUT MONEY. I GOT IN MY CAR THIS MORNING AND IT WENT INTO FAIL SAFE MODE 3X'S BEFORE I COULD GET OUT OF THE DRIVE WAY! ALL OF THESE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR DATING AS FAR BACK AS 2001, AND NO RECALLS, C'MON MAN. MY TAX DOLLARS WENT TO HELP OUT THIS COMPANY!!!! [XXX]SHAME!!!! THIS IS MY FIRST AND LAST TIME BUYING A FORD!

I HAVE THREE MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH MY 2005 LINCOLN LS. THE FIRST PROBLEM IS I HAVE A HARD REVERSE AND THE GEARS STICK BETWEEN 30-35 MPH AS I ACCELERATE. SOMETIMES IT HAS A HARD BUMP ONCE IT STARTS ACCELERATING! THE SECOND PROBLEM IS THAT I HAVE REPLACED TWO IGNITION COILS WITHIN A YEAR APART AND NOW I HAVE TWO MORE IGNITION COILS THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED PER P0354, P0301AND P0304.I HAVE REPLACED THE THROTTLE BOTTLE, BUT THE LIMP HOME SIGN HAS OCCURED TWICE SINCE THEN CAUSING THE CAR TO DECELERATE!! THE THIRD PROBLEM IS THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER PER P0420. I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2009 WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES, LESS THAN A YEAR THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING! *TR

ON AT LEAST 5 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND TRYING TO PASS, CAR HAS LOST ALL POWER AND THE WRENCH INDICATOR HAS APPEARED ON THE DASH, AT THAT TIME CAR LOOSES ALL POWER AND THE ONLY CHOICE IS TO PULL OVER AND SHUT CAR DOWN , WHICH DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK WHILE YOU ARE IN TRAFFIC ON A THREE LANE HIGHWAY WITH OUT YOU GETTING KILLED OR INJURED BY OTHER DRIVERS. I HAVE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL FORD GARAGE..... I EXPLAINED TO JACK IN SERVICE AND HE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT HE HAS SEEN MORE AND MORE OF THESE PROBLEMS AND THE CURE WAS TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY.... I AM WONDERING IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY FORD/ LINCOLN. I HOPING TO GET THIS SITUATION RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED IN A ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 LINCOLN LS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER IT RAINED AND THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN THROUGH A PUDDLE OF WATER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE RAN SLUGGISH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A FAILED ENGINE COIL THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT INFORMED WHAT WAS ALLOWING WATER TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 6,000.

ROLLED DOWN LEFT PASSENGER WINDOW AND WOULD NOT COME UP. WENT TO REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE OFF WHOLE DOOR AND THEN REPLACE MOTOR AND ANOTHER COMPONENT THAT WOULD RANGE BETWEEN 300-400. I CANNOT BELIEVE I BOUGHT AN AMERICAN CAR FROM A WELL KNOWN COMPANY AND HAVE BEEN SOLD A HORRIBLE CAR THAT IS FALLING APART. THE CAR ALSO PULLS FUNNY AND RUNS FUNNY WHEN GOING UP HILLS AND SOMETIMES ALMOST FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STOP WHEN I FIRST START IT IN THE MORNING. *JS

POWER STEERING WAS LEAKING. I CALLED FORD COMPANY AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. TOOK IT TO TWO FORD DEALERS TO GET CHEAPEST PRICES. HAD TO HAVE POWER STEERING ROD AND PUMP REPLACED. WHICH COST ANOTHER 1200. GOING BROKE FROM THIS CAR. AIR CONDITIONER ALSO STOPPED WORKING BUT COULD NOT AFFORD TO HAVE IT FIXED YET. DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE TO TAKE OFF THE WHOLE DASHBOARD TO FIX. THEY TRIED TO PUT ADD SOMETHING TO THE AIR TO COOL IT BUT IT DID NOT WORK. *JS
