2000 LINCOLN LS Complaints

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

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.
