2005 Lincoln LS review from North America
"It was my dream car, however, I don't think that it has been worth it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have owned my 2005 LS for two years. It has usually, but rarely run correctly.
I have had to have the rack and pinion, ring and pinion, the power steering pump, and FIVE of my six engine cylinder coils replaced.
I've had one transmission leak and two oil leaks.
The driver's headrest, ashtray, and door locks have also had to be repaired.
This afternoon, it has started blowing hot air only. I think that the thermostat is either stuck, or I have bigger problems now...
General comments?
I am severely disappointed in this car. I understand now why Lincoln discontinued the LS model.
