Consumer Description

I AM CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF MY LINCOLN. WHEN THE COILS GO BAD THE CAR STARTS MISSING. I WAS STOPPED BEING A SCHOOL BUS WHEN MY RPM'S SURGED TO 6500 AND MY CAR JOLTED FORWARD. AFTER THE BUS STARTED UP, I GAVE THE CAR LITTLE GAS TO GO, AND IT STALLED. IT STALLED ON THE INTERSTATE THE EVENING BEFORE. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT 3 COILS WERE OUT. I HAVE HAD THE SAME SITUATION 3 OR 4 OTHER TIMES. MY 2000 LINCOLN LS HAS HAD SEVERAL COILS REPLACED. MECHANIC FINALLY DETERMINED THAT THE VALVE COVER GASKET WAS BAD. AFTER REPLACING THE GASKETS, 3 COILS WENT OUT WITHIN SEVERAL DAYS. I THINK THAT FROM MY RESEARCH, THE VALVE COVER GASKETS ARE DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND COILS REPLACED OR REIMBURSEMENT MADE FOR COILS ALREADY REPLACED. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN THE CAR SURGES AND STALLS ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR
