2000 Lincoln LS review from North America
"A complete rip off"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Advance Trac failed in the first 3 months (< 3000 miles) four trips to the dealer were unsuccessful. On the last visit the dealer (Courtesy Lincoln Mercury Moline Illinois) replaced all sensors with manufacturer engineers advising the final repair - only after I requested Illinois lemon law protection.
At 35,000 miles the right rear window regulator failed the first time it was lowered. Neither Lincoln nor the dealer would cover it.
At 50,000 miles the AC intermittently blows hot air. Sometimes out one side, other times out of both sides. After adjusting the temperature setting up to 90 F for a few minutes, I can generally get it to blow cold air for a random interval.
The rear sub woofer speaker buzzes with alternator noise, this starts or goes away after a bump in the road.
General comments?
I did receive lovely Waterford Crystal in the mail after buying the car, and a dandy ink pen. But the accompanying paper describing The Lincoln Commitment does not have much use outside of a bathroom.
