| Description of the problem | My 2004 lincoln ls v6 sedan loses power and stalls. The wrench appears in the window and the engine light comes on. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer several times. Once the coils were replaced; most recently i took the car and the dealer was unable to diagnose the problem. This morning i was on the turnpike in high speed traffic and the car lost power, the wrench appeared and the engine light is on. I'm frustrated that a car with only 45k miles and in otherwise good condition can not be driven without fear of causing a major accident. The warranty hasn't covered the problem -- i've taken it to the dealer on numerous occasions -- and i've spent thousands of dollars. What is being done to investigate this office deficiency? |
