2001 Lincoln LS review from North America

I purchased my 2001 Lincoln LS Feb. 9, 2002 with 20,805 miles on it.

I started having air conditioning problems at the end of the summer of 2004. It would sometimes start blowing hot air out the left side for a short period. In May 2005, I took the car in to have the air conditioner checked. They found a leak and fixed it for $70.

It continued to blow hot air out the left side, lasting longer and longer. When I would take it in to the dealer's service center, they could not get it to happen. Finally on July 29, 2005, when it started blowing hot air, I drove straight to the dealer's service center. They replaced the R & R A/C Control Valve for $606.

On May 19, 2006, I was returning to work and the front end dropped to the payment. I thought I had a flat tire. When I got out and looked, it appeared that the left front wheel had come off. My car had to be towed to the dealer's service center. They replaced the LF Steering Knuckle for a total repair bill of $682.

On June 26, 2006, the left inside door handle stopped working. This required removing the door panel RR Handle and cost me $200.

I also have problems with my windows. When I roll the front window down, there is a terrible grating noise when it is rolled back up. I've stopped rolling the windows down after reading about window problems at this site.

My right front light has fogging in it, but at this time it is not severe enough to warrant fixing it.
