2000 Lincoln LS Sport review from North America
"Should have window regulator and valve cover recall!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I've had all of typical problems --- replaced all of the window regulators (two of them twice). A/C thermostat has to be on 60 or hot air will sometimes blow---now sometimes hot air blows in the back seat while cold blows up front. Sometimes cold won't blow until car has been running about 2 minutes. I haven't spent the money to have it fixed because I don't think they will make the problem go away. Valve covers leaked oil onto coils and cost me 2K$----I was relieved that it wasn't the transmission. The engine light has been on and off intermittently for 3 years. I don't believe the Lincoln techs--it'll cost me $5K for them to find the real problem. I keep a stock of right rear brake lights. I've bought nothing, but Fords/Lincolns for 30 years--now I HAVE TO look at Japanese cars.
General comments?
Runs well when it's not in the shop.
