2002 Lincoln LS from North America - Comments

I am looking at getting a Lincoln LSE 2002 for 7000, and it has 100000 miles on it. Is it going to fall apart on the way out of the lot?

My Lincoln LS 2002 is junk, and we have had one problem after another. Ford motor company needs to step up and address these problems with this car. The car itself is a pretty car, but has major problems.

I agree - a top end car like a Lincoln ($55,000 new) should not have endless repairs - car has 100K now; you've likely got more repair work to go. Just had the clock spring replaced ($600 cdn), all my chrome rims are cracked and are not covered (est $2,500 to replace from dealer), heated seats components were replaced, center sway bar replaced ($500), the steering is leaking and dealer informs me that I need to replace the rack and pinion system ($1400), water leaks into the vehicle on passenger side - weather stripping has been replaced, lower ball joints were advised to be replaced in the near future... the car is going up on the blocks - can only hope someone is interested.

I have had my 2002 Lincoln LS for 3 1/2 years now. And I have also had numerous problems with it.

2 months after I bought it, my driver's side seat heater went out.

Replaced my valve head gasket with all new boots and spark plugs.

Fuel pump went out 5 months after I bought it.

2 window regulators (each back door).

Noticed recently that my trunk is leaking water, just now replacing the wheels since the dealership failed to mention to me that they were corroded, which in South Dakota winters, none of my tires hold air pressure in extreme cold conditions.

Center caps are junk, not worth $25 bucks from the dealership.

Airbag light is on, which means my clockspring is bad.

Also my power steering rack is leaking, which I got an estimate from Ford, and that was $1100. Yeah right, shove that somewhere.

Yes, we've had the Lincoln LS 2002 for the past six years and it has been one thing after the other. How do we go about starting a class-action suit? Anyone know? Have replaced window regulator, sway bar, engine light and airbag lights are both on. Need catalytic converter work done. For an expensive car like this, maintenance itself is expensive enough to keep such as the power coils, etc.

I have had the same problems. My airbag light is on, my sunroof has popped off track and I keep having to replace my coils. I also have an oil leak that I can't find.

The car really isn't worth all this money.

Thanks for the reviews. I was looking at a used 2002 LS, and you just made my decision a whole lot easier.

I too am experiencing coil problems, my passenger side window leaks, and my heated seats went out! WTF, LINCOLN GET IT TOGETHER!!!
