Consumer Description

I HAVE HAD MY 2004 LINCOLN LS IN THE SHOP AT MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. STARTING AT AROUND 80,000 MILES ON IT, I HAD A VARIETY OF PROBLEMS ON IT WHICH COST ME SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS. BUT MOST RECENTLY AND THE BIGGEST PROBLEM THAT I HAVE NOW IS WITH IT RUNNING HOT. AS A MATTER OF FACT, THIS IS MY 5TH TIME TAKEN TO THE SHOP FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED MY THERMOSTAT FOR $200, NEXT TRIP THEY REPLACED MY COOLANT RESERVOIR $200, 3RD TRIP THEY REPLACED AN 0 RING $310 AND NOW IT'S IN THERE RIGHT NOW WHICH THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE TALKED TO THE GUYS IN THE SHOP AND THEY TELL ME THEY HAVE SEEN A TON OF PROBLEMS WITH THESE LS'S AND HAVE ALSO TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE AROUND TOWN THAT HAVE HAD BAD EXPERIENCES AND PROBLEMS WITH THESE LS'S ALSO. WHICH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS PROBABLY A TON OF OTHER COMPLAINTS OUT THERE AS WELL. I BELIEVE THESE CARS ARE POORLY BUILT AND FOR THE MONEY THAT THEY COST, THEY SHOULD BE ALOT MORE DEPENDABLE THAN THIS. US LINCOLN OWNERS NEED SOME HELP WITH GETTING SOME RECALLS DONE ON ALOT OF THESE PROBLEMS. FORD MADE A TON OF MONEY ON THESE CARS WHEN THEY WERE SOLD. MINE COST $45,900 NEW AND THIS IS RIDICULOUS. *TR
