NHTSA Complaint #10377929 — 2000 LINCOLN LS

TERMINAL ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN MY 2000 LINCOLN LS ! I AND EVERYONE ELSE ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS IN THE LINCOLN LS MODELS. BOTH THE V-8 & V-6 MODELS HAVE CONSTANT ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION FAILURES & PUTS THE OWNERS AT RISK WHILE DRIVING THESE VEHICLES ! I WAS PASSING A SEMI WHEN MY FAILURE HAPPENED AND THE CAR LOST COMPLETE POWER AND WE ALMOST GOT HIT HEAD ON BY AN ONCOMING CAR (THAT WAS NOWHERE IN SIGHT WHEN I STARTED TO PASS THIS VEHICLE) ! IT TAKES NO EFFORT TO DISCOVER THAT THIS IS A HABITUAL ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. I WAS A LINCOLN SALESMAN FOR OVER 3 YEARS AND I KNOW THAT LINCOLN BUILDS A GREAT PRODUCT, AND RELIABILITY ISN'T AN ISSUE WITH ANY OF THEIR OTHER MODELS. PLEASE DON'T ALLOW LINCOLN TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE BY SAYING ,"WELL IF YOUR OVER 100K MILES , WE WONT ADDRESS IT", BECAUSEIT WILL FORCE US TO GO THE ROUTE OF SPENDING $3500 TO REPLACE IT WITH A GENUINE LINCOLN TRANNY THEN THEY ARE HAPPY . THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE , BECAUSE THIS CAR WILL BASICALLY "SHUT ITSELF DOWN" WHEN IT ENCOUNTERS TRANNY ISSUES , & LINCOLN IS GOING TO SAY THEY DON'T KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE ............C'MON ! *TR
