2000 LINCOLN LS Complaints

VEHICLE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED. DEALERSHIP HAS EXAMINED VEHICLE, AND CANNOT DETERMINE A CAUSE FOR THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION / DOCUMENTATION. *AK

VEHICLE HAD A LEAK ON PASSENGER'S SIDE . ONLY LEAKS WHILE DRIVING IN HEAVY RAIN. ALSO, LEAKS AT STRIP THAT COVERS INTERIOR AT AN ANGLE OF WINDOW. *AK

AT ANY GIVEN TIME VEHICLE CAN ACCELERATE TO AN UNKNOWN SPEED WITHOUT WARNING.*AK

VEHICLE WAS SLOWING DOWN/ GOING 8MPH, AND WAS NOT STOPPING. BRAKES FELT FINE. DIAGNOSTIC TEST COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG TECHNICALLY. VEHICLE'S COMPUTER MAY HAVE A DEFECT THAT DEALER CAN'T DETECT.*AK

FRONT BUMPER GUARDS, DAMPERS, ARE HELD UP BY PLASTIC BOLTS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT CONSUMER HAS TO TIE THEM UP BECAUSE THEY KEEP FALLING OFF. CONSUMER IS CONCERNED THAT PLASTIC COULD GET CAUGHT UNDERNEATH AND CAUSE A FIRE. APPARENTLY, PLASTIC BOLTS ARE NOT STURDY ENOUGH TO HOLD AGAINST DIFFERENT WIND SPEEDS. *AK

FRONT BUMPER AIR DEFLECTOR ON CAR HAS BEEN A MAJOR PROBLEMS SINCE WE FIRST DROVE CAR OFF THE LOT. WE ARE UNABLE TO DRIVE INTO ANY SHOPPING CENTER THAT HAS A SLIGHT INCLINE WITHOUT DRAGGING THE CAR. WE HAVE REPEATEDLY COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS AND ARE TOLD BY DEALER THAT CAR DOES NOT SIT TO LOW. HOWEVER I CAN NOT EVEN GO TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD POST OFFICE WITHOUT SCRAPING THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF CAR. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WE HAVE HAD TO USE WIRE COATHANGERS TO REATTACH THE PLASTIC-LIKE PAN IN ORDER TO DRIVE THE VECHICLE. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE NOT "HOT-RODDERS" BUT 60+ SENIORS. WE DRIVE ONLY ON THE FREEWAYS AND IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS . AS THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM WE FEEL THAT EITHER WE HAVE A "LEMON" OR THAT THERE IS A MAJOR STRUCTURAL DEFECT IN THE SUSPENSION OF THIS VEHICLE . THE DAY WE WERE TO TAKE DELIVERY OF OUR CAR THE SALESPERSON CALLED TO NOTIFY US IT HAD TO GO TO THE BODY SHOP BECAUSE ONE OF THE DOORS WAS NOT ALIGNED PROPERLY. IN HINDSIGHT WE WONDER IF THAT IS WHERE OUR TROUBLES BEGAN AND IF POSSIBLY THIS PARTICULAR CAR WAS DROPPED OFF THE CARRIER? WE FEEL THAT HAVING TO RETURN THIS CAR TO THE DEALER 8 TIMES FOR VARIOUS PROBLEMS WITH MILEAGE OF ONLY 16000 IS EXCESSIVE.*AK

SIDEWALL CAME COMPLETELY OFF THE TIRE. MILEAGE ON THE AUTOMOBILE AT THE TIME WAS 6,000 MILES. TIRE HAS NO WORN TREADS, NOR HAS THERE BEEN ANY ACCIDENTS OR INCIDENTS INVOLVED THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN.*AK (TIRESIZE: P215/60R16)

WHILE TRAVELING IN WARM WEATHER AND WITHOUT ANY INDICATION SPEEDOMETER FAILED, GIVING NO PROPER READING. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.*AK

UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, THE RIGHT FRONT AND RIGHT REAR TIRES WERE MAKING A BUMPING NOISE. TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL TIRE SERVICE CENTER AND DISCOVERED BOTH TIRES WERE SEPARATING. REPLACED TIRES IMMEDIATELY DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. *AK (DOT NUMBER: W2X8 TIRESIZE: 2156016)

WIFE DRIVING, I'M PASSENGER. APPLIED BRAKES, HELF FIRMLY, WENT THRU STOP SIGN. LUCKY ! NEXT, AT RED LIGHT, CAR QUICKLY LURCHED FORWARD BUT WAS ABLE TO BRAKE BEFORE HITTING CAR IN FRONT. REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY REPORTED BACK THAT THEY LOOKED FOR ANY SUCH PROBLEMS IN THEIR COMPUTER SYSTEM AND "THERE WAS NONE." THIS IS MOST FRIGHTENING. WHAT SHOULD I DO?*AK
