2001 Lincoln LS Reviews - Page 9 of 16

Just this week, the transmission had problems. AAMCO checkd it out and confirmed overheating and having problems shifting to R.

Replaced spark plugs and coil packs as malfunctioning gaskets caused a flood of oil.

Had a period of time of leaking cooling fluid, most likely because of overheating and high pressure.

Replaced driver's side window regulator.

Cracked windshield.

I've always liked this car. But it's given me more problems than my other cars, which were Japanese. Now, it handles well, drives smooth, is very comfortable, and is a very powerful car, but I suppose it comes at a price. I'm not trying to spend too much more money on this car as I've already had it for 4 years now.

I started having problems after 8 months.

Transmission pressure solenoid, over heating, coolant reservoir, 3 window motor/regulators, 6 coils, 4 tune ups, replaced gaskets around spark plugs, fogged headlights, throttle body, and a problem with the driver side door locking...

This is the worst car I've owned, and I have owned 12 cars, and currently have 3 others now.

This was my first American car, and it only made me not want another one. I should have purchased that 2004 Maxima instead.

I really had high expectations for this car because of the reviews. I'm down for that court thing.

Right rear passenger electric window jumped track.

Very comfortable ride.

Handles well and quick acceleration.

Don't like the cup holders.

No serious problems.

Bought the car used, so made a very good deal as the book value had dropped considerably from the new price level.

Would not recommend paying new price value, but would not pay new price for any car.

Everything! trans, overheating, ABS, air bag, heated seats, trac control, window motors, are just a few of the many more problems I had with my ls o ya air conditioner driver side hot air, cruise control went out also, radio worked half time, burning smell in cold weather forgot what what caused it, but was going to be 2000 to fix. theres more! thank god for I got gap insurance I got that prob taken care of and wasn't out a dime.

Yesterday, my wife went to roll down the driver side window and the regulator broke and the window dropped all the way down and could not be put back up. No telling what this is going to cost to fix. I am attempting to do it myself since the dealer is so expensive.

Also, my check engine light has come on several times. I had it checked at the auto parts store and they tell me that it is misfiring in cylinder 6. The light comes on and goes off every week or so.

I went to push the mileage reset button the other day and the switch broke inside the dash. I had to pull it out and crazy glue it back in.

Above and beyond all that, if this car sits for more tham 15 minutes not running, when I go to start it, it has to turn over for about 10 seconds (long time) before it starts. When it does start, you can smell gasoline strong like it is loading up (flooding).

I think Ford should have a recall on these vehicles, but if they did, they would be closer to bankruptcy than they are right now.

My advice - DO NOT BUY A LINCOLN LS!

It is hard to focus on the good through all the bad.
