What things have gone wrong with the car?

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

General comments?

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!
