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

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS
MY HEADLIGHTS FILL UP WITH WATER WHENEVER ANY WATER IS PRESENT. IF IT RAINS OR I WASH THE CAR BOTH HEADLIGHTS LEAK WATER IN THE ASSEMBLY. I HAVE HAD AS MUCH AS 1/2" OF WATER IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES. I HAVE TO REMOVE THE ASSEMBLIES AND DRAIN THE WATER THROUGH THE BULB SOCKET HOLES THEN REINSTALL THEM. THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM AND SOMEONE IS GOING TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS. THERE IS A POSSIBLITY OF SOMEONE HAVING WATER IN THE LIGHT ASSEMBLIES AND WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT THEY COULD HIT A BUMP AND CAUSE THE HEADLIGHTS TO FAIL BECAUSE OF THE WATER SPLASHING ON THE BULBS AND BURNING OUT, I HAD THIS EXPERIENCE, WITH ONE BULB. SOMEONE IS GOING TO A FATAL CRASH BECAUSE OF THIS, IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME. LINCOLN CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER IS NOT CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME TO PAY TO HAVE THEIR POOR DESIGN REPLACED WITH NEW LENSES AS RECOMMENDED BY MY DEALER.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WHEN APPROACHING A STOP THE BRAKES DO NOT HOLD. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM AND NO COMMON DENOMINATORS CAN BE FOUND. THE CAR WILL SLOW DOWN WHEN BRAKING, BUT ON OCCASION THE CAR WILL CONTINUE MOVING EVEN WHEN BRAKES ARE FULLY APPLIED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO RUN STOP SIGNS, INTERSECTIONS, AND REAR ENDING OTHER VEHICLES. ALSO WHEN BRAKING IT TAKES A LONG DISTANCE TO DO SO.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:INTERIOR/UNDER DASH
JUST PURCHASED 03 LINCOLN LS V-8 SPORT THREE WEEKS AGO, ALREADY INTO SERVICE. THE TRANNY IS SLOW ON UP AND DOWN SHIFTS. THE SERVICE DEPT. ( NEIL LINCOLN MERCURY @ 1900 RT 112 MEDFORD NY) SAID THIS WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON MY INITIAL CALL, JUST BRING IT IN AND THEY WILL REPROGRAM THE TRANNY SHOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM. MY SECOND COMPLAINT IS I NOTICED AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF UNCOMFORTALBE HEAT UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER SIDE DASH WHILE DRIVING, I SUSPECT THIS IS DUE TO THE LACK OF AN INSULATED COVER. THIS COVER I COME TO FIND OUT WAS IN THE 2000, 2001, 2002, MODEL YEARS. UNFORTUNATELY SOME GENUIS DECIDED TO FORGET IT. THAT'S A PROBLEM, AS IT IS NOT JUST A LITTLE WARM, BUT REALLY HOT, I CAN'T IMAGINE MY COMPLAINT WAS THE FIRST FOR THIS, AS NONE OF THE 03'S ARE EQUIPED WITH THIS PROTECTIVE COVER. THE LINCOLN SUPPORT CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS ADVISED ME I MUST TALK WITH SERVICE, AS THIS IS NOT A PART ON THE 03, AND SERVICE TELLS ME TO SPEAK TO LINCOLN, AS THIS IS A VALID COMPLAINT. WHAT THE HECK AM I SUPPOSE TO DO? OH AND BACK TO THE TRANNY WHAT IF IT DECIDES TO JUST GO TO MUSH WHILE I'M CROSSING AN INTERSECTION. TO LATE TO SAY SORRY THEN! I'VE HEARD THAT THE 30,000 MILE TRANNY TUNE UP WILL OFTEN SOLVE THIS TRANNY ISSUE, CAN I MAKE THEM SERVICE IT NOW I'VE GOT 1,500 LOGGED TO DATE. THANK YOU FOR THE ASSISTANCE, IT IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED, SORRY FOR THE LONG MESSAGE. BRIAN
