I just wanted to hear it from you guys before I step out to grin and bear it. Thanks for the responses. Also, When I picked my car up, I did not sign any paperwork holding them harmless. Thanks again. ~~Scott

Well, not exactly... I was checking to make sure they rotated and balanced my tires. That is when I noticed it. But all in all, there probably is no recourse. I took the car back today, because they didn't even rotate my tires, they just took them off and balanced them. I'm even questioning...

Hi. I had my 2003 Lincoln LS in for warranty repairs which they had my vehicle for almost 8 weeks. Yesterday when I went to pick it up, I paid for a rotate & balance which I was told was $106.00. After questioning the charge, they told me it would only be $45.00. So, fine... I paid that and...

Thanks Ken... :)

Oh, I didn't realize that the green coolant is just standard stuff. Am I right on that? --Scott

Would these work on a 2003 LS V8 Sport ?

My '03 V8 Sport has just turned over 45,000 miles. After looking in the Scheduled Maintenance Guide for the specified interval, it lists several things that should be done. My vehicle falls under the "normal schedule", and @ 45,000 miles it suggests changing the "green engine coolant" if...

You guys are too funny!

I have 44,000 miles on my LS now, and was wondering about a wider tire to replace my factory 17" HX MXM4s. Currently I have 235/50/17s. And in replacing the tires, is it a good idea to have the front end aligned as well? --Scott

OK, got the '03 LS V8 back from the dealer... The service mgr and service techs got to see what was happening this time. They replaced the DDM and reprogrammed it with a new code. I guess it was shorting out somehow, or maybe it had taken in some water. I'm not sure, but I hope my windows and...

Thanks for all of the replies. I have taken the car to the FLM dealer and will advise on what they find and fix. Scott

Well, I'm taking the car in for tranny trouble on Monday. What should I say to the service mangler at the FLM dealership? Should I tell him to look into the DDM or check the keyless entry remotes and whatever makes that thing work? Just curious! Thanks for the replies as well! Scott

Well, I never, ever keep anything of value in my car because of this. Luckily, this has NOT happened yet while I'm out at a Mall of some sort. I can't explain how this happens. I live in a decent subdivision, so I don't think that someone is doing this with one of those hand held devices...

Hi, My Lincoln LS V8 Sport is equipped with the global window down feature. This feature is 'normally' activated if the driver holds the 'unlock' button down on the keyless entry remote for more than 2 seconds. However, this is not the case. It's almost as if my car has a mind of it's own. Many...

Hello, anybody there? Just kidding... I know there are a lot of posts to go thru. Anyhow, it's nice to know there are great people here willing to share information on the cars we drive. Thanks!
