VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ENGINE HAS DEVELOPED AN INCONSISTANT MISFIRE AT IDLE, DURING ACCELERATION, AND WHEN IT LOBS ALONG IN OVERDRIVE. RECENTLY THE THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE PASSING A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE ON A 2 LANE ROAD. I COASTED TO THE SHOULDER AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM, HOWEVER IT STILL CONTINUED TO MIS-FIRE AT RANDOM. SOMETIMES DURING A TURN AT INTERSECTIONS IT STALLS AND THEN REGAINS POWER AND LUNGES FORWARD (ALMOST LIKE A TRANSMISSION SLIP). DEALER CAN NOT DETERMINE THE PROBLEM(S), THUS THEY CAN NOT FIX IT. THE LAST TIME I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE ONE OF THE SALES STAFF INFORMED ME THAT LINCOLN HAS BEEN AWARE OF PROBLEMS WITH THE LS-V8 FOR A WHILE. THAT'S GREAT, PUT SOME MORE POOR PERFORMING, UNSAFE CARS OUT THERE TO SELL TO UNSUSPECTING CONSUMERS! I'M FORWARDING A COPY OF THIS COMPLAINT TO MY ATTORNEY SHOULD THIS PROBLEM NOT GET FIXED PROPTLY OR SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME OR MY FAMILY AS A RESULT OF THIS PROBLEM, LINCOLN CAN BE PREPARED TO HEAR FROM THEM.*AK

MY OTHER TWO WINDOWS WILL ALSO NEED TO BE FIXED IF I WERE TO ROLL THEM DOWN. FOR ALL MY REGULATORS TO GO OUT AT BASICALLY THE SAME TIME, TO ME MEANS THAT THERE IS A DEFECT WITH THESE PARTS. *PH

I BOUGHT THE CAR JUNE OF 2002- CAR IMMEDIATELY STARTED THIS PROBLEM AND HAS CONTINUED. I PAID 23,900 FOR MY CAR 6 MONTHS AGO AND DEALER TODAY TELLS ME HE WILL GIVE ME 15,000.00 FOR MY CAR AND WILL PUT ME IN ANOTHER LINCOLN LS FOR 3600.00 MORE DOLLARS.
