Consumer Description

I CURRENTLY DRIVE A 2001 LINCOLN LS. THIS CAR HAS BEEN A COMPLETE NIGHTMARE AND IS COMPLETELY UNSAFE! THE SHIFTING ON THIS CAR IS COMPLETELY ERRATIC AND IS IN NO WAY SAFE. I KNOW MULTIPLE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR AND LINCOLN IS NO HELP. THEY WILL NOT AND CAN NOT FIX OR SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. THEIR ONLY ANSWER IS TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AND WHEN THAT IS DONE THE PROBLEM COMES BACK! WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 85 MPH MY CAR DECIDES TO CUT OUT ON ME AND DISPLAY AN ERROR MESSAGE. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT. THE ONLY THING THAT SAVED ME IS THAT THE CAR BEHIND WE WAS ABLE TO SWERVE OUT OF THE WAY. MY CAR AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION NO LONGER KNOW HOW TO SHIFT GEARS PROPERLY. IT IDLES IN BETWEEN GEAR CHANGES AND AT TIMES TAKES MINUTES TO ACTUALLY SWITCH GEARS AND SPEED UP THE ENGINE. MOST OF THE TIME ALL THAT WILL HAPPEN IS THE RPMS WILL RAISE TO 4500 AND I WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH TONS AND TONS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE BOUGHT THIS CAR. *TR
