My 2002 lincoln ls v8 has broken down in numerous ways. All ignition coils have had to be replaced, two window motors, airbag connector clip, my tie rod ends are bad, my car has actually shut off completely while driving up the 15 north three times while my son was in the car with me and now my transmission has completely stopped working. When it came to fixing the airbag connector problem lincoln told me it was fixed and I went to pick up my car and it was still doing the same thing the three beeps so they fixed it for free and then told me my instrument panel on one side was burned out but the lights seems to work on it when I turn them on. They wanted to charge me 800 dollars for that but I refused. The ignition coil replacement was roughly 1000 dollars and I am waiting on my estimate for my transmission. Both window motors were 200 dollars a piece. I have had numerous taillights replaced and actually had a door lock jam closed on me. I truly feel that this car is a safety hazard for me and my son if it turns completely off at 65 miles an hour on a freeway with my son in the car.
2002 lincoln ls 4.0 v8 (50k miles) - transmission disengages at any speed. Also, it shifts very hard, when driving and when putting shift lever into reverse and drive. Lastly, it surges when in gear at idle, and upon deceleration, refuses to downshift until high (3-3500 rpms) which creates a sensation of being pulled down the road. Dealer cannot replicate problems. I have seen on multiple discussion groups that this vehicle has problems with the solenoid pack and valve body creating symptoms like those described above. It is dangerous to drive the vehicle like this.
My transmission has a delay start/harsh engagement and slips when accelerating car is a 2002 lincoln ls v8. Model and make doesn't include ls only blackwood.
