CAR HAS BEEN BACK TO DEALER AT LEAST 6 TIMES FOR TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY AND JERKING INTO GEAR HARSLY- I AM BEING PUT OFF BY DEALER..CAR HAS DONE THIS CONTINUOUS..HAS BEEN TO THREE DEALERSHIPS AND NONE CAN RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL THIS IS SUCH A SAFETY PROBLEM FOR ME AND MY CHILD. THERE COULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASSIONS. I HAVE BEGGED THE DEALER TO JUST PUT ME IN ANOTHER 2000 LINCOLN LS. 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. PLEASE HELP- I HAVE CONTACTED LINCOLN TO START A DISPUTE SETTLEMENT. I FEEL THIS IS MORE A SAFETY HAZARD THAN ANYTHING.
