ONE HEADLIGHT GOES OUT FOR NO APPARENT REASON. CYCLING THE SWITCH IMMEDISTELY TURNS IT BACK ON

NO MATTER WHAT IS DONE THE CHECK TRANSMISSION AND EVERYTHING ERROR COMES UP AND CAR SHIFTS HARD AND SLIPS I SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM SEEMS ALL OF THE LS CARS ARE DOING THE SAME THING.

I HAVE CONSTANT ISSUES WITH THE POWER DECK LID NOT WORKING WHEN IT IS COLD, IT WONT EVEN POP THE TRUNK. THIS MORNING I EXPERIENCED A DEAD BATTERY AND WHEN I GOT THE VEHICLE JUMPED AND STARTED, THE POWER STEERING WARNING CAME ON AS WELL AS A TRACTION CONTROL, HILL START WARNINGS AND THE POWER STEERING ISNT WORKING AT ALL. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. I AM UNABLE TO TURN THE WHEEL.

SYNC RADIO. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, WITHOUT WARNING, THE RADIO WILL SUDDENLY EMIT AN EXTREMELY LOUD EXPLOSION NOISE, ENOUGH TO STARTLE YOU TO JERK THE WHEEL AND LEAVING YOUR EARS RINGING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US THREE TIMES SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE. ONCE ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY AND TWICE ON THE FREEWAY. AT ALL TIMES WAS THE VEHICLE BEING DRIVEN IN A STRAIGHT LINE. RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS MANY COMPLAINTS AS THIS APPEARS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SYNC RADIO AND LINCOLN HAS NO RESOLUTION. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. *TR
