I don't know about my Lincoln no more, it's been in the dealership last 10 days for the transmission shifting problems. Mine is 01, bought it with 35000miles in 03, drove about a year with no problems, then when the warranty ended the transmission was leaking oil, went to the dealer, some seal broke, $730 to fix it. Next week took it for the reverse late/hard shift problem, silenoid box another $640. Drove for few months the brake light came on, but I disconected the wire from the brake cilinder and it went off, probably the sensor is bad. After few months airbag light is on and then the check engine light came on and the cruise control didn't work properly ( I would push any botton and the speed would go up), drove for couple of months like that, transmission hard shifting again (reverse). I took it to the dealer again, fixed the airbag light and the cruise by changing the clockspring ($500), next week took it in again for the engine light, they changed the secondary air pump or something under the front bumper, and some other crap ($830). Transmission still shifts hard at this point, visited the dealer again, valve body in the tranmission, got the part in 5 days, wrong part, had to wait another 3 days, the correct part came, changed those parts, and suddenly the silenoid box that was replaced a year and 28000 miles ago with the apdated version is falty again, ordered that, the part gonna be here on monday. The dealer said the car gonna be ready in monday and it would cost me $1400 and they are not gonna charge me the most of the labor. I spent already $4100 fixing this damn car in 2 year period of time. So I guess when I get the car I am gonna drive it for another 10000 miles as the dealer gives 1 year/12000 miles warranty on their work and parts and get rid of it. I really like my car, the way it looks, handles and especially the color and don't wanna sell it, but wat else can I do?
