2000 Lincoln LS review from North America
"This car is a piece of garbage, and it should be trashed as such"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the valve cover gaskets (cost $650).
Check engine light came and car started to misfire.
A coil pack went bad #5 cylinder (cost $125).
Two days later the check engine light reappeared had to replace coil pack #7 (cost $125).
About a week later, guess again, the check engine light reappeared. I took it to Auto Zone and used their diagnostic tool which read p0306. I was not sure if it was both cylinder #3 and #6, so I bought 2 coil packs @ $43/each and replace them myself, which resolved the misfire, but my engine light is still on. Not sure how to reset it.
I hear a humming noise from the rear of the car whenever I release my foot from the gas pedal.
I need some front end work; whenever I hit a bump I hear a clunking noise. Either ball joints and/or tire rods need replacing.
My rear driver's side window will just drop down when trying to lower it.
My horn used to work when it wanted to. I would have to keep pressing the steering wheel until the horn blow. Now I cannot get it to blow at all.
In order to get a brake tag I need it to work (sucks).
This car is a piece of crap. They should have a recall and just trash these cars. I will never buy an American made car again.
