POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)
WHILE DRIVING MY 2000 LINCOLN LS THE TRANSMISSION TENDS TO SHIFT ON IT'S OWN FROM HIGH TO TO LOW GEAR AND BACK TO HIGH GEAR THUS CAUSING A STALL. THIS SITUATION CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME, IE: WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH IT WELL SHIFT BACK AND FORTH AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO HESITATE AND THEN STALL. WHEN THERE IS A TRACTOR TRAIL RIG BEHIND YOU AT 65 OR 70 MPH YOU KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN. BEING A TRAINED VEHICLE OPERATOR TO DRIVE UNDER VERY ADVERS CONDICTIONS I CAN HANDLE THE SITUATION, ON MOST TIMES, BUT THERE ARE SITUATIONS THAT EVEN THE BEST DRIVERS CAN NOT HANDLE. THE DEALERSHIP KEEPS TELLING ME THAT IT IS AN AIR FLOW PROBLEM TO WITH THE SENSOR BUT I SAY IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND THE DEALER SHOULD REPORT IT TO THIER HEADQUARTERS AND REPAIR THE PROBLEM FOR FREE.*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON THREE OCCASIONS, MY 2000 LINCOLN LS (V6) HAD A SUDDEN ACCELERATION. THE FIRST TWO INCIDENTS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY. THE LAST INCIDENT WAS ON 03-29-04 IN THE CITY LIMIT. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET DOING ABOUT 30 MPH WHEN THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TURNED RED AND THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME CAME TO A STOP. WHEN I BEGAN TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR, I FELT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL GO DOWNWARD. THE CAR BEGAN TO INCREASE SPEED WITHOUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. I PLACED MY FOOT FIRMLY ON THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I TRIED PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN AS MUCH AS I COULD BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. I SHIFT THE GEAR INTO PARK AND THEN THE CAR STOPPED. *AK

SMELL OF SOMETHING BURNING - GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY. HEADLIGHT COVERS COLLECT MOISTURE. AIRBACK LIGHT ON - WAS QUOTED APPROXIMATELY $500 TO FIX. DRIVER SIDE DOOR DOES NOT OPEN FROM INSIDE - $85 TO DETERMINE THAT THE LATCH IS WORN OFF & AGAIN AN ESTIMATE FOR $850 TO FIX THE HANDLE. THREE OUT OF THE FOUR POWER WINDOWS DROPPED DOWN & HAD TO BE FIXED IN THE LAST TWO YEARS. BOTH THE DRIVER AND THE PASSENGER SEATBACKS HAVE FALLEN OFF. DRIVER SEAT MAKES NOISE WHEN GOING/SLIDING BACK. ON TWO SEPERATE OCCASIONS I WAS UNABLE TO APPLY THE BRAKE WHEN COMING TO A STOP - CAR KEPT ON ROLLING & I COULD NOT PRESS THE BRAKE.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
IN JANUARY 2004 THE VALVE COVER GASKET STARTED LEAKING ON MY 2000 LINCOLN LS [XXX]. PART BACK ORDERED UNTIL MARCH 2004. WAS INFORMED BY DEALERSHIP THAT OVER 8,000 WERE BACK ORDERED IN JANUARY. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME I COULD DRIVE VEHICLE UNTIL PART ARRIVED. OIL LEAK CAUSED THE COIL BOOTS TO SOAK SHORTING COILS (SEVEN OUT OF EIGHT COILS). COIL BOOT BACK ORDERED (NO KNOWN ESTIMATE OF TIME FOR GETTING PART) [XXX]. AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE MULTIPLE CALLS I HAVE MADE TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND TO FORD MOTOR COMPANY TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE BEEN WITHOUT A VEHICLE FOR OVER A MONTH. NO LOANER WAS OFFERED. REPAIR COSTS ARE ESCALATING. WAITED TWO MONTHS FOR GASKET. HAVE NO IDEA HOW LONG BOOT ITEM WILL BE BEFORE ARRIVAL. SEEMS THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE. SEEMS FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS REFUSING TO DEAL WITH THEIR CUSTOMER.*JB UPDATED 07/29/2012 *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
