| The engine failures began on july 28, 2005 and have continued through this date. this engine should have been recalled. the types of problems cause the engine to create erroneous mechanical readouts preventing the vehicle from passing state's emission inspections. the engine shuts down due to faulty plastic tensioners causing the timing chains to become loose, thus causing engine failures. i'm lucky i was not going any faster when my engine failed twice causing me to lose my steering capabilities, etc. most mechanics are replacing ignition coils because they are getting misfire readings on specific cylinders, however the problem lies with the timing chains that go out eventually. currently, i have four diagnostic readings on my engine stating that number 4 cylinder is misfiring, when indeed two mechanics are stating that the timing chain is the problem and another expert familiar with this problem sells the specific kits to try to correct this known problem of ford's. check out this website for more information: http://stores.christophersforeigncarparts.com/-strse-template/about/page.bok. i have had all 8 cylinder ignition coils changed; spark plug boots; and valve cover gaskets replaced and still these are misfiring. lincoln knew of the problem with these models and changed the factory warranty on all models after 2002 from 50,000 miles to 80,000. please refer to edmund's blog site under lincoln ls for additional owners experiencing the same thing. also, i filed a consumer complaint back on 10.25.2007 at the state of missouri attorney general's office. ford was made aware of the problem and did nothing to remedy the situation claiming the car had too many miles and was too old. | |||

| I believe my 2000 lincoln ls is unsafe to drive do to the fact that the shifting is erratic. this car has actually cut out on me several times, on the highway all lights, power steering, brakes everything and gave me an error message. the message stated gear shifting error. my dealer doesn't know what to do. why are they are registered as a lincoln dealer if they can't fix lincolns? *tr | |||

| The 2000 model year lincoln ls. after a cold start, sometimes the weather is dry, sometimes not, i will drive 2-4 miles down a fairly level road, and there is a high pich whine noise from the engine, the thermostat starts to rise, the check engine light comes on and if i do not stop it continues until the engine power is reduced and i have to stop., this occurs at speeds of 0-35mph. i stop for 5 minutes and restart the engine and most of the time it works like nothing ever happened. there is no odor associated with this. the dealer has replaced the thermostat, and some coils. these fixes have not removed the problem. it will not happen for 3-4 months then will reoccur. *tr | |||

| I am concerned with the safety of my lincoln. when the coils go bad the car starts missing. i was stopped being a school bus when my rpm's surged to 6500 and my car jolted forward. after the bus started up, i gave the car little gas to go, and it stalled. it stalled on the interstate the evening before. the mechanic told me that 3 coils were out. i have had the same situation 3 or 4 other times. my 2000 lincoln ls has had several coils replaced. mechanic finally determined that the valve cover gasket was bad. after replacing the gaskets, 3 coils went out within several days. i think that from my research, the valve cover gaskets are defective and should be recalled and coils replaced or reimbursement made for coils already replaced. i feel that this is a safety issue when the car surges and stalls on the highway. *tr | |||

| 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 | |||

| Re: 2000 lincoln ls problem: 2 induction coils need replacement. re: rancho santa margarita ford history: engine stopped on highway and on road home took to dealer and after inspection put auto in garage. can not drive safely. one coil was replaced under warranty. called ford cust.svs on this issue. they offered 12 month warranty on work. thought offer was unusual; wouldn't dealer offer at least that? request: please review reported frequency of this problem for potential recall.. i submit this is a design flaw and safety issue and not a maintenance or wear & tear issue, unless owners' manual describes how i could have prevented or recommended time interval for inspection.. research indicates this is the most common problem on model and caused by the gasket. this issue is on record with ford in at least one bulletin (tsb 00t03 /9/2000 pcm-drivability complains) | |||
