Transmission problems, specifically the valve body.
At 2500 miles the trans light came on and the dealer told me dont drive the car. When my mom asked for a loaner car, she recieved a snide remark from one of the service guys. I had to go and take care of that. They evenually told me it was the valve body and 45 days later I got the car back.
Three days after I drove the car to NJ and felt a slight bucking between gears. After returning from a 30 mile trip and was back on the street, I felt like I was on a bucking Bronco. The car went back. Again, A fight ensued about a loaner car.
Two weeks later, I got the car back. A short time later I had the car on my lift in my garage and noticed a drip from the tranny plug. The car went back and I was told, "ITS ONLY A LITTLE LEAK" ARGGGHHHHHHHHHH. They say they cahnged the plug but they failed to realize I marked it and they only tightened it, now it leaks more.
The arbitraitor says they will take my case under the Lemon Law and if I win I WANT MY MONEY BACK
NEVER WILL I BY A FORD PRODUCT AGAIN. Gonna stick to my DODGE'S
Would never buy another Lincoln or buy anything from Dana Lincoln Mercury again.
I have owned nothing but Ford products my whole life. Your problem is a service problem, not a vehicle problem. My LS was also shifting gears very hard. I took it to the dealership that I chose because the one I bought it from really was clueless, and it was fixed in 3 days with a rental vehicle provided from Enterprise and paid for by the dealership. I had no problems trying to get my vehicle fixed with the dealership. You should choose your dealership carefully, just as you would when you are looking to buy a car! I think your problems have been your own and you should have taken this up with Lincoln directly and they would have helped you! They helped me with a dealership that refused to fix my vehicle properly!
