| Description of the problem | 1 year after purchase at 52,000 -replaced coils (recalled) , brake switch, cost just to lead and find issues after full service maintenance, $1500. 2 yrs in, transmission due to thing that is attached and looks like a brain plate to the transmission, (sms pack)still owing plus now, upcoming on latest transmission/computer/ at 84,000 :( s car has taken me completely upside down and in the hole owing $12,000 + $3000 for newest repair. Just got car back and now it feels like there is a potential small delay and wants to jump in the middle of traffic which i just experienced yesterday. Why is this car still on the road and not recalled. The problems go on and on and on. I emailed ford and was basically told to take the car into their dealership where i can be robbed even further. Sad!! These are only a small fraction of links that are out there due to lincoln having known issues. I spoke with a car salesman this last week and he has a 2005 aviator and just replaced the whole transmission at 92,000 miles. Http://www. Arfc. Org/complaints/2004/lincoln/ls/power_train/problem.
