2000 Lincoln LS from North America - Comments

Hello everyone-

I have read most of the comments and it's now my turn.

I bought my LS brand new in October of 2000. I am still driving it and today it has 253,000 miles on it.

It's the V-6 and here we are approaching 9 years!!

To date-

Both rear window regulators have had to be replaced.

The coils have been replaced as well, albeit one or two at a time.

I have also replaced the degas (coolant) bottle.

I have never been afraid to take my car anywhere- It has been a dependable workhorse for me, but now she is beginning to show some signs of her age and mileage... I am battling an overheating issue which I believe is the hydraulic fan.

The engine uses about a half a quart of oil between changes, and for the miles that ain't too bad.

I would say that I have gotten my moneys worth and then some.

I am sorry to hear all the problems.. good luck.

To all the people complaining about windows regulators - there IS in fact Ford TSB about them on Lincoln LS. Just take it to the dealer and they should be replaced free of charge. My 2001 LS V8 developed this issue few years ago on one of the windows, I took it to the dealer and they actually replaced both (free of charge). No complains.

W.R.T. to other issues - lots of it is true. Funny how my car did not see any problems until it ran out of warranty (6y/72K miles). Shortly after that - coils on 4 cylinders, CAT (replaced under federal-mandated warranty - free of charge), coolant tank and auxiliary water pump, and worn ball joints. Then again - it's got 85K miles, at that point lots of cars develop problems and need repairs. I should have sold at 60K, as I did with my Nissan before, but I decided to gamble.

Hello everyone. I too have had all the problems that we all have experienced. Now as of yesterday, my 2000 Lincoln LS started shutting off whenever I come to a complete stop, so I have to take it out of gear so it will not die. Transmission jerks driving and in reverse. Class action suit - we all must agree. We all have the same problems from west coast to east coast.

I have a 2000 Lincoln LS. I bought it back in 2002 with 48,000 in it. Now it has 283,000 and is running better than ever. I've travel to the west coast once a week for the last 5 years and everything is working good.

I'm sorry for y'all, my LS is great other than regular maintenance; you know oil, air filter and power steering fluid, everything is great.

I have a 2000 Lincoln Ls and need some help. My car keeps overheating and I have already replaced the thermostat and water pump. I have no milky oil, no steam from exhaust. Fan kicks on, I can hear the water boiling from my reserve tank, and my heater works sometimes. Any ideas of what it can be? Email me at renetristan210@yahoo.com

Thanks.
