Lincoln LS

Just acquired.....
I drove Lincolns from 1992 through 2006, one after the other, always leased them. Had a Continental, Town Cars, Aviators and Navigators. Although I tested the LS, and was very impressed with its performance, I never bought one because I need space for passengers, and the back seat is very tight for knee room. Also, styling was sort of bland IMO. Nonetheless, I gave it props for being the best "driver" ... Read More

Past and Future
You are absolutely right that Lincoln needs to work hard on improving their dealers and dealer experience. Mom's local Ford-Lincoln dealer is in a pretty new location with a new building, but the experience is all down-market Ford not up-market Lincoln. Unlike when I take my Lexus in for service, I hate taking her Lincoln in. Feel like cattle in a dreary, cramped barn. Only time will tell what Ford can ... Read More

Re: 2006 Lincoln LS - Doble Din THX Navigation System Static [izzie12]
I have just recently taken my Lincoln to the dealer and they have told me that the Heather Control Valve has gone out. The Control Heather Valve was causing the static on my stereo screen to get static. It was also making my status screen go crazy.

Re: Mike -- Radio backorder [heydudes]
I think Ford is purposely keeping Lincoln volumes now and not putting big cash on the hoods for 2 reasons - don't cheapen the brand any more than it's already been cheapened and to force out more Lincoln dealers. There are just too many and while we may not like the idea of buying Lincolns at Ford stores if that allows them to put more into unique vehicles then I think ... Read More

Re: 2006 Lincoln LS - Doble Din THX Navigation System Static [izzie12]
I believe that is a recall and it has something to do with the rear window defroster. I would call the dealer first and see if your car is part of the recall.

2006 Lincoln LS - Doble Din THX Navigation System Static
Hello, I have a 2006 Lincoln LS, V8, 38,000 Miles. My THX sytem has some sort of static going thru my stock system. You could hear it and you could see it in the stereo screen if its on or off. I thought it was the stock Amplifier, so I disconected the power to it and you could still see it and hear it. Does anyone have an idea of what ... Read More

Re: BEWARE OF SAFETY RECALL #00S39-Certain 2000-2001 Model Year Lincoln LS [akirby]
thanks for your reply! No...i sought immediate legal advice. It has been filed but it has jus taken the lawyer this long to research everything and rule out the possibility of a class action suit. All the automotive experts that examined it told me that yes that surely did seem to be the cause. The actual print out of the recall from Ford Motor Company states this: Some of the affected ...

Re: brakes on a 2006 ls lincoln [jandpvm]
For the fronts - yes. For the rear brakes you need a tool to turn the piston as you depress them due to the parking brake mechanism (use the NAPA tool). Make sure you have the car running when you bleed the brakes to activate the ABS/advancetrac solenoids.

Re: Help w/unknown transmission code [bikerboy44]
BikerBoy44, My 2004 Lincoln LS V8 sport with 42,000 miles recently had the 'Check AdvanceTrac" warning come on. It went on and off for about a week. Then yesterday, the "ETC Engine failsafe mode" warning appeared, and it put the car into limp mode. I pulled over, shut it off, and when I turned it back on, all problems disappeared. Interestingly, after heavy rains recently is when this problem started (see: ... Read More

ETC engine failsafe mode
After reading Rut1's comments, I joined this board to add in. Recently my "check Advancetrac" warning and ABS light came on. They go on and off periodically. Yesterday, the "ETC engine failsafe mode" warning came on, and put my 2004 Lincoln LS VS Sport into a limp mode (also see http://answers.edmunds.com/question-2006-Lincoln-LS-ETC-engine-failsafe-mode-err- or-9646.aspx). I took it to a Fod/Lincoln dealer who ran a diagnostic. They told me they had to special order ... Read More

Re: 04 Lincoln LS [rubycruz]
Hello, I am sorry to hear that you took the car back. However, you can find another one in the price range of $14,000 to $21,000 with less than 20,000 miles on it if you shop around. I purchased an 2003 with only 14,000 original miles and only owe $5,900 after trading in a 2006 Ford Fusion SE (38,000 miles) with trade-in value of $14,000. Just search for one on the ... Read More

Lincoln LS Battery Problems
My 2006 Lincoln LS w only 8000 miles and 2 years from date of manufacture is now on its 3rd battery. When battery voltage dips, I get all kinds of crazy things happening -- headlights flash when starting engine, message center indicates tail lamps burned out (they're not), or parking brake needs service, or advancetrac not working, many others, all false signals. What is the root cause? Dealer has worked on ... Read More

Ford to cancel all cars?
We've often heard it said on this board that the reason Ford cancelled the LS is that "they lost money on every one they made". While I still doubt that was true, and it was denied by a former VP of Maketing with Lincoln, it sure sounds like a good reason doesnt it? Well, then in tha case, I expect to see Ford cancel all their cars made in North America ... Read More

Re: OK... wake up [qbrozen]
ZZZZZZZZ, whoa who dares wake me . Hi qbrozen. Ford Credit is no longer leasing 2005 models. Its lease program for 2006 models often varies depending upon which part of the country one is in. In the areas that I have seen this car's lease program for, if you were to lease a 2006 Lincoln LS through Ford Credit for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its base lease rate ... Read More

Re: Lincoln LS- would anyone still buy at this point? [sellaturcica]
My 2000 V6 has almost 125K miles on it. I had some early, first year teething pains, but nothing the warranty didn't cover. I did have the solenoid pack in the trans fail at ~90K miles. That would have been covered by my Ford ESP had I realized the problem I was having was "mechanical". I waited until 105K miles before acting, so had to pay for it. The part was ... Read More

Lincoln LS- would anyone still buy at this point?
So, I'm 29 and am driving a 13 year old Infiniti G20 that I got when I got out of school- the car is starting to nickel and dime me, not that many miles on it- only 85k, but it's also starting to feel a little tired. Have been browsing for a possible new car for months, and while I'm not exactly in Lincoln's demographic (I would probably lower the average ... Read More

LS mileage
My LS is an 04 with the 3:58 rear, same as my 03 TBird. Not complaining about 23+, just thought it would be a little bit better. I thought I did better once in the summer, but that may have been because of the tires, and because I only clocked it for a few miles in cruise control. On this trip, the computer showed 23.4, actual mpg was 23.1. Too small ... Read More

CR =A Joke
I have cited on this forum, and numerous others, the glaring irregularities that CR reports on, which is why the media now is questioning their research. JDPower takes a larger sample rate, in a non-biased emphansize. No, the Zephyr cannot fit a V8 engine, it's based on the Ford Fusion using the CD3 platform (Mazda6 developed). The largest engine that can fit is the new 3.5L Duratec35 V6 (which is actually ... Read More

Re: Qb [qbrozen] and akirby and more [heyjewel] [brucelinc] [heyjewel]
A new 2006 LS fully loaded is going for no more than $41K (keep it simple pricing minus $3K rebate). Even less if there's any dealer cash. Nicely loaded it's in the upper $30s. $10K discounts on TCs are also normal. One reason Lincoln never went upmarket was the presence of Jaguar and a corporate mandate not to compete. Now that Jag is moving back to more exclusivity and more expensive ... Read More

Qb
Ok I'm not sure about YOUR LS (mine is an '05- on my 3rd), but last time I tested it scientifically with the proper equipment readily available to me, I've clocked 6.1 to 6.4 Seconds, and most importantly, drama free. Which I can't say about SOME V6's which require a scream to 6500RPM, to generate it's full potential. Remember Ford's V8 (specially the Tritons) kick anywhere from 85-90% of their torque ...

2006 LS
Saw a 2006 LS the other day. Grille was body color except for the vertical slats which were chrome Rear plate surround was body color (at last!) Front facia was changed. Air intake was oval and painted black, not body color; fog light openings were round Also saw the Fusion (not bad) and Lincoln Zephyer (nice, but V6 only could hurt it); haven't seen the Milan yet (except for pictures)

Not Mad Ad Nauseam
I would agree with the few vocal opponents to the early demise of our beloved Lincoln LS, or the DEW 98 Platform. Sure, it might be replaced by a chassis or body engineered replacement, but will it have the cache of the original LS? Remember back into 1999, when an American Luxo-barge with Euro contentions where terrible riding and handling vehicles on anything but a mirror surface. At the time, the ... Read More

Re: Not whining -- will just move on [cwz]
NV: COME ON, 'Whining'? You should know better. As for 'what car doesn't get dropped etc ...' how about the cars that the LS was initially targeted at, namely the BMWs. They've had the 3-series, 5-series, 7-series for decades. Other mfrs use the same name forever too - corolla, camry, accord, you get the picture. I agree with cwz. To elaborate - the Zephyr was never meant to be an LS ... Read More

Re: Future of Lincoln (LS) [akirby]
Well, glad to see the board lighting up with discussion again! :>) Just a few comments: We all know the LS is not cheap to build. But to think that Ford loses money on every one they make is just not believeable by any stretch. They'd have cancelled it yesterday if that were true. Even if a brand new base V6 sells in the mid 20s, I'm sure there's lots of ... Read More

Re: Lincoln LS future [falkender]
The Zephyr is not replacing the LS. The LS will continue to be sold until 2007 or so and will eventually be replaced by a new vehicle built off the Volvo platform, most likely with available V8 power and AWD. Lincoln did drop the V6 option on the LS for 2006 to avoid competing with the Zephyr.

beer4704
I don't think Lincoln is going to drop the LS in a few years. It will likely be redesigned around 2006. Some of the rumours we've heard is that Ford is not taking the next LS far enough and possibly taking a step back(i.e. strut suspensions) from the current model. If that is the case, resale of the current generation(especially 03 and newer models) may stabilize. Still, a low mileage 2-3 ... Read More

Rumors future of the Lincoln LS
Chris, there are new rumors flying that the LS will receive a makeover, including updated sheet metal with a mid 2006 introduction. Some details of the rumors that are floating around are: The front suspension will change to a strut suspension similar to the 2005 Mustang in order to accomodate the 4.6L mod. motors. Look to the MK-X and Aviator crossover concepts for exterior design clues. AWD will be available. 6 ... Read More

LS future, 2003 LS discounts
I have heard that the LS is going to stay pretty much the way it is today, (ie. 2004 model) through the end of the 2006 Model year. The most significant change that I am aware of is for 2005 the side stampings are changing to give better side intrusion crash protection. The side curtain air-bags may become standard at that time. I would expect only minor trim and model changes ... Read More

With Cadillac rolling out the hot CTS-V, I'd love to see something from Lincoln to compete. Bring back the old Caddy v Lincoln rivalry. 2006 should be the latest that the LS gets a redo as it has been out since the 2000 MY(May 1999 in time). If you look at both the Navigator and the T-car, they were new in 1998(well the T-car was a new body style) and they ... Read More

I also read somewhere(I think it was Autoweek) that the Aviator was being dropped after 05 or so. I will say, I haven't seen that many of them on the road but in my humble opinion, it is a better choice than the gigantic Navigator. What Lincoln should do if they are indeed dropping the Aviator is introduce a car based SUV much like Cadillac has done with their new SRX. ... Read More

I'm not too nervous about the change, because as good as the LS is, and I agree, it's an awesome performer, I may be looking for a new Sedan in 2006, and I'd like a bit more room than the LS provides. But, if it's going to be lighter, I probably won't be getting what I want there. Remember folks, if Lincoln keeps making the LS just as it is for ... Read More

Future 4.6L for LS?, 2003 trannie, CTS vs. LS sales
jerrym - you can't compare your 94 T bird 4.6L to what engine will end up in the 2006 LS. Your 96 T-Bird had a SOHC engine rated at about 225 HP. The LS will most likely get some version of the all aluminum DOHC 4 valve 4.6L engine. This engine is more powerful than the 3.9L. In the old Continental / MK-VIII version it put out 290 HP and I ...
