I'm going to be trading in my 2004LS in the spring. Thinking about picking up either a new 2013 Ford Fussion with the 2.0L ecoboost (depends if I like it after I test drive it), or I'm also interested in a pre-owned MKZ. I'm interested in the 2010 or newer MKZ models, love the split front grill...

2004 LS V6, 126500 miles, 85% highway miles Bad coils over the past few years has resulted in 2 bad cats. Inspection is due soon, August. My mechanic will only use factory cats, he also wants to replace all O2 sensors. He gave a figure of around $3000, maybe slightly less. If I do this job...

04V6 When I pressed down on the emergency brake switch the entire switch fell into the console. Didn't take much pressure for it to fall through, didn't seem that I broke off any of the clips. Does anyone know the correct way to remove the portion of the console where the emergency brake...

2004 V6 LS 122,000 Check engine light has been on for months, code indicates one of the cat converter is bad. My mechanic gave me a price of $1050. The car runs great and would like to try to get a sticker with the bad cat. A couple of questions: - I gather that disconnecting the negative...

I believe disconnecting the battery will wipe out all of the driving habits and transmission shift points that the vehicle has learned, is this true? Does resetting the check-engine-light with a diag scan tool also erase the driving information? Thanks

My LS has been sputtering/hesitating on acceleration around 50mph, especially going up hills. Today the check engine light came on, blinked a few times, then went off. Has a code been set? Can I have it read even if the light is now off?

04LSV6 78000 miles, The automatic climate control doesn't seem to be working properly. The internal air is very cold when the temperature is set anywhere from 60 to 79. When it's set to 80 the heat will kick in and it's very hot. Also it blows very cold air when I click off the AC button...

I'm hearing (and feel while sitting in the back) a vibration with the right rear exhaust. This only occurs between the speeds of 65 and 70 miles per hour. It's quiet outside of this range. I would clasify the noise as a growl or rumble. The lincoln dealer said it was some kind of resonant...

2004 LSV6 52K miles Noticed a burning odor coming through the car vents. When I looked under the hood I saw a small amount of smoke rising up around the plastic engine cover closer to the passenger side of the engine, the smoke dissiapated after a while. I noticed the odor the last time I...

2006 V6 standard equipment Is there anyway to connect an IPOD to the stock radio? I'm not aware of an AUX setting so it's doubtful that there's an input connection for it, but I thought I would ask anyway. I'm not interested in using the cassette adaptor or FM transmitter, the sound...

LS 2004 V6 I hear a rolling/rotational noise starting at ~40mph. I was told by the dealer that the wheel bearings and hubs are fine and that the noise is from cupped tires. From what they told me cupping is when the tire has high and low spots on the inside edge. The tires have about 16k...

Can anyone tell me of any known engine problems with the CTS? I am thinking about buying the redesigned CTS (is that the 2008 model?). Someone mentioned that they read (maybe in motor trend) of a major engine problem with the V6 CTS, he wasn't sure which years and which engine type. If anyone...

Just curious how long the OE pads lasts. Can people post how many miles and years you ran with the OE pads before having them replaced. Also add what type of driving you do, all hw, all city or mix. Thanks

Does anyone know what the lincoln part numbers are for front pads and rotors for a 2004 V6 LS? Also, are there different part numbers made by Ford and also Motorcraft? If so which one is used on the LS? I was told by a person at a lincoln parts department that there are Ford pads/rotors...

Had the 04V6 LS in for an oil change, 38k miles. The dealer suggested that I have the throttle body cleaned, they quoted a price of $130.00. I told them next time it's in I'll have it done. This should be a fairly easy job to do my self, don't you agree? Has anyone done this and do you have a...

Got the tires rotated and balanced at NTB about three months ago. I noticed a vibration on the wheel when travelling ~65 or faster. Brought the car back for them to rebalance, they said that the balance was slightly off on the front. Now when bringing the car up to ~75mph I feel a small...

04V6 LS The maintanance book calls for the fuel filter to be replaced at about 30k miles. Has anyone had this done by the dealer? What did it cost? Also has anyone done this themselves and is there a How-to on it? I couldn't find one when searching

The lights are out on the gear/shift indicator console. Has anyone repaired this? Each gear selection doesn't illuminate, is it one bulb that takes care of all gear selections. It's an 04V6 LS. Thanks for your help

I thought I had seen something about this in this forum, but my searches come up with nothing. The product I'm looking for sits inside the gas cap compartment. When gasing up it rolls down about 4 or 5 inches against the car to prevent the gas cap from scratching the paint. Has anyone seen...

04LSV6 Just would like to know how many other people have had the following problem with their LS, also any advice is appreciated. I'm trying to figure out if it's an inherent problem with the car. PROBLEM: At speeds between 50 and 60mph I hear a humming noise from the rear...
