Consumer Description

RE: 2000 LINCOLN LS PROBLEM: 2 INDUCTION COILS NEED REPLACEMENT. RE: RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA FORD HISTORY: ENGINE STOPPED ON HIGHWAY AND ON ROAD HOME TOOK TO DEALER AND AFTER INSPECTION PUT AUTO IN GARAGE. CAN NOT DRIVE SAFELY. ONE COIL WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. CALLED FORD CUST.SVS ON THIS ISSUE. THEY OFFERED 12 MONTH WARRANTY ON WORK. THOUGHT "OFFER" WAS UNUSUAL; WOULDN'T DEALER OFFER AT LEAST THAT? REQUEST: PLEASE REVIEW REPORTED FREQUENCY OF THIS PROBLEM FOR POTENTIAL RECALL.. I SUBMIT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AND SAFETY ISSUE AND NOT A MAINTENANCE OR WEAR & TEAR ISSUE, UNLESS OWNERS' MANUAL DESCRIBES HOW I COULD HAVE PREVENTED OR RECOMMENDED TIME INTERVAL FOR INSPECTION.. RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS THE MOST COMMON PROBLEM ON MODEL AND CAUSED BY THE GASKET. THIS ISSUE IS ON RECORD WITH FORD IN AT LEAST ONE BULLETIN (TSB 00T03 /9/2000 PCM-DRIVABILITY COMPLAINS). *TR
