Milwaukee Lincoln LS V8

1. Had a very poorly shifting transmission, I took six months of complaining to the dealer, to the Ford Company directly, and then finally to the Lemon Law process to get the transmission fixed. The transmission works well now. 2. Was plaged by electrical problems that made the Lincoln just quit while driving. Requiring a tow from the Lincoln sponsored service. (It took 2.5 hours to get to me) The dealer finally found "loose ground screws". That appears to have solved the problem. 3. Developed a very bad oil leak from the power steering assembly. the dealer fixed it by replacing a deffective "quick change coupling" 4. Misc. I would feel safer if the Lincoln had other tires that Firestone.

This LS with a V8 is a powerful, well balanced car. However, the front is only comfortable if you are under 6 feet tall. The leg room in a long trip makes you wish you had walked there The front seats could have been made a little bit plusher and the design should allow for a bit more room on the "wings" that "hold" you in place. So when one gets in the leather is not scratched with your left back pocket. Other than that, the car is fairly well built. Of course is Ford made so you don't get the finished that you find on a comparable car of European descent or even Cadillac. We've problem with all windows, fogged- up headlight & noise Would I buy another one? No

I bought car new in June of 2001. Has been in the shop 8 times. whining noise in engine,transmission slips, stalls, Engine revs, only likes to be driven in warm weather.Stereo has been replaced and the car paasenger side window fell into the door they let mechanic take my car home for the weekend I was called by the local police to be informed that the mechanic was out in my car at 9pm doing 60 in a 40 and that he had been drinking. When I got my car back on monday 457 miles had been put on it. Owner of dealership refused my phone calls. Another dealership finally stepped in and Ford has just agreed to take my car back on the lemon law.

i bought this car after working for a lincoln dealership and it was everyt hing i had hoped for. i read all of the other reviews and people are rating this car bad because of the dealership and that has nothing to do with the actual car. if you want to down the dealership call lincoln division and let them know dont down a great car

Just bought my used 2001 LS last week. I'm still in awe about this vehicle. I got a V6, maybe slightly underpowered but I don't mind it. The ride is smooth, seats are very comfortable like riding around in a plush lazy boy. Mine has the Alpine CD-6 indash changer w/the audiophile speaker system....ROCKS!

I bought my 2001 LS as a used former Hertz rental car. It is by far the best car I have ever owned. Faster and more powerful than a BMW, styled like a Mercedes, comfort like a Lincoln! I love it.

I was one of the 1st customers to own a LS in April 1999 on a two year lease. This car was terrible with all the system (computer) and fuel problems I encountered. The car was labeled a lemon. I complained a total of 10 times to district reps. Finally, they gave and offered me another model of the same car in a 2001 version. I excepted. This is a wonder if it had some more get up and go. What a shame! Overall I should have waited for the LS-8.

This has been the best car we've owned. Relatively few problems. It is fun to drive, looks great and is reliable. My only wish is that Lincoln would get on board and come up with better gas mileage. That would be the only thing that could keep me from buying another one. I'll be crossing my fingers.

Just bought this car a week ago, instantly fell in love with it. Has a good balance of performance and comfort. Great V8 and havent had any transmission gripes as of yet. Think woodtrim could be a little more realistic as do others. Door locks should unlock once cars placed in park if there going to automatically lock once cars in motion. All in all great car. Good job America.
