Difficulty starting sometimes I think due to fuel rail problems.

I absolutely love the Ls, but due to reliability I am no longer going to drive this car. I purchased a 00 v8 sport with 48000 miles in 4/05 it seemed to be in great shape. At 60000 had first coil problem in which I had one coil replaced for 300.00. Within 500 miles I ran into the same problem. Reading online this was a common issue due too bad valve cover gaskets. Dealership would replace gaskets and one bad coil for close to 1000.00. With a price like this I decided to order parts for cost online and replace all coils and gaskets myself. I have no longer had coil problems. Cost for gasket set around 30 each side, and coils were 50.00 each.

Shortly after I ran into problems with airbag light and within the last 10000 miles I have run into issues with rear diff and injectors. I couldn't imagine that I had a problem in my rear diff this caused me to change all wheel bearings in seach or noise and vibration. This I also did my self. I am not able to fix the rear diff or injectors and with a cost like the dealership and poor customer service I have to sell.

Count me in on a lawsuit.

Why do you just go around suing everybody? You brought a USED car with 48,000 miles. Anything could have happened in that time and any car could suffer problems. It is a wear and tear item and as with anything mechanical/electrical - it could break!

I have owned Fords since 1961 and loved them all, especially the 1995 Ford Thunderbird. They were all bought used with approximately 20,000 miles. Two years ago I bought a beautiful 2002 Lincoln V8 LS with 21,000 miles. It was fast and a delight to drive. The problems began immediately, with windows not closing, cds getting stuck, a back door that is permanently closed unless I pay $600 to fix it, plastic window buttons that fell off, and fuel injectors that had to be replaced at about 35,000 miles and took Ford two weeks to fix it. The transmission might as well be a stick shift, since it falls back when stopped on a hill. When I asked Ford about it the mechanic said, "Thank goodness you don't have the Navigator". This is the only Ford that I've had that really stands for: Fix or repair daily.

I had just bought my LS, and I find no problems with it, but a little noise when you start it up, but that goes away after driving for a little bit. My car has 143000 miles on it. The dealership I bought it from gave me a 1 year warranty. If the tranny or engine goes out, I get a free one. This also covers ball joints. Knock on wood this doesn't happen!!!
