2000 Lincoln LS review from North America
"Not worth the money!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
During the last two years I have spent over $5,000 dollars in repairs and put up with unsatisfactory technical support from the dealership performing the services on my vehicle.
In trying to get the proper repairs on my LS 2000, I have had a great deal of difficulty trying to get the simplest services done correctly. The vehicle has been in the service department more in the last two years than it has been on the road.
The problems with the transmission and the engine seem to be a systematic problem with this model Lincoln. Everyone I have come in contact with who owns a Lincoln LS has had the same issues with the irregular performance of this car and its continued chronic mechanical failures. The same problem with this vehicle throughout the nation is more than just an occasional occurrence, and is costing the people who own one of these lemons thousands of dollars in repairs.
At one of the dealerships which I frequent for service on this vehicle, I can say that as a customer and a mechanic for over 20 years in the United States Army, I have never witnessed such substandard service and lack of customer support in all my life!
After servicing my vehicle, I have had dirty oil finger prints on the seats, dash and doors. Screws not tight on items the service technician had to remove to do repairs, and my oil not at the proper level on a simple oil and filter change.
I had high hopes that this car would restore my confidence in the Ford Motor Company, but that confidence is totally destroyed.
General comments?
Hope you have a big bank account if own one of these vehicles! You will need it for all the repairs!
