Consumer Description

MY 2000 LINCOLN LS V8 FREQUENTLY ACCELERATES ON IT'S OWN. THERE IS NO RESPONSE TO BRAKING AND PUTTING IT IN PARK OR NEUTRAL, THE RPM RISES TO 3K. IT ONLY STOPS EVENTUALLY ON ITS OWN OR AFTER IT'S BEEN TURNED OFF FOR A LITTLE WHILE. RECENTLY, THIS HAS CAUSED THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE TO RED-LINE. THE ENGINE DOES NOT ACTUALLY OVERHEAT, BUT THE CAR REACTS AS SUCH AND POWER TO THE ENGINE IS REDUCED. MY LOCAL LINCOLN DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE 3 TIMES WITHOUT SUCCESS. THEY WERE ONLY ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE BEHAVIOR ON ONE OCCASION, BUT STILL COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM. I'VE READ A FEW RELATED COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER LS OWNERS REGARDING THIS UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION. THIS COULD POSSIBLY HIT SOMEONE OR SOMETHING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO COME TO A STOP. THE BRAKES NEED TO BE APPLIED REALLY HARD TO BRING TO A STOP WHEN THIS OCCURS. *TR
