ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE PAST 6 MONTHS WHILE COMING TO A STOP AND LIGHTLY APPLYING THE BRAKES THE ENGINE STARTS TO RACE TO THE POINT IT CAN'T BE HELD BACK WITH THE BRAKES. QUICKLY PUTTING THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL CORRECTS THE PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY AND THE ENGINE RETURNS TO IDLE SPEED. MOST RECENTLY I HAD THIS PROBLEM 3 TIME IN ONE EVENING. THE LAST TIME I WAS SLOWLY TURNING ONTO MY DRIVEWAY AND THE CAR TOOK OFF. BEFORE I COULD REACT I WAS ON THE FRONT LAWN AND NARROWLY MISSED MY SON WHO HAPPENED TO BE ON THE DRIVEWAY. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
2000 LINCOLN LS . THE VALVE BODY IN THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL LINCOLN DEALER JACK KAIN FORD LINCOLN MERCURY IN LONDON KENTUCKY. THE VALVE BODY WAS BAD AND I HAD TO WAIT FOR TWO WEEKS WHILE THE VALVE BODY WAS ORDERED. THE WAIT WAS BECAUSE THE VALVE BODY HAD TO BE REENGINEERED DUE TO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR AND THIS SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *LA

AIR BAGS
MY 2000 LINCOLN LS WAS STRUCK BROADSIDE BY A 1997 MAZDA PROTEGE. THE COLLISION RESULTED IN BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR, AS WELL AS THE CENTER PILLAR, BEING CAVED IN BY THE OTHER VEHICLE. HOWEVER, DESPITE A COLLISION THAT RESULTED IN OVER $4,200 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO THIS VEHICLE, THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY.
