  Say No to Ls - 2001 Lincoln LS
  By Chris - April 4 - 7:03 am

  This is a awsome vehicle when running. At 99k the engine threw a rod which Ford could not replace.the lower ball joints went out which cost big bucks.It has cost a lot of money to own.I do want to point out that if your ls miss fires check for oil around the spark plug because it will leak oil int that area.

  2002 lincoln LS v-8 - 2001 Lincoln LS
  By jeff7802 - February 3 - 10:00 am

  fit and finish on car is very poor. car has a number of rattles that the vehicle was delivered with. paint quality very poor. my local dealer takes numerous service attempts to do anything. then accomplishes nothing. if this is LINCOLNS new vehicle for my generation. car quality needs to be much better, and dealer support needs a lot of help. its no wonder ford is loosing market share.

  Never again - 2001 Lincoln LS
  By kirkyrt - January 20 - 10:00 am

  Ive only had this vehicle for 6 months and have already had to have 3 coils changed and the radiator fan. Not only has it been unreliable but the road noise is herendous. I can barely hear my self think. If Lincoln LS is considered to be a luxury sports car then they have a long way to go.

  Really Great Automobile - 2001 Lincoln LS
  By dhoening - November 5 - 2:00 am

  Have had no problems since new. With 36,000 miles now, still a blast to drive, and my wife wont let me even think about replacing it anytime soon. Lincoln has a hit on their hands and should leave this one alone!

  Disappointed Owner - 2001 Lincoln LS
  By FormerLincolnLover - June 19 - 10:00 am

  Almost every item listed in tech bulletins applies to this vehicle. Frequent chimes with no read out, automatic windshield washer functions according to the mood of the car, sometimes comes on on a bright sunny day for a couple of swipes, frequently needs a boost to begin operation in the rain. Engine light, check Advance Trac and Cabin Filter lights often show, moisture in headlights. Re-setting a computer seems to be the standard answer. Steering column assembly had to be replaced because of worn bearings. One sway bar broken, other replaced because of excessive wear of bolts. Trunk lid and left rear door were out of line. Because of this auto has only 18000 miles.

  After all these years! - 2001 Lincoln LS
  By Jerry Stratos - April 17 - 9:56 am

  After 3.5 years of owning a used Lincoln LS... Never again. :( Especially taking new dates on ventures where you smell smoke buring off the engine because of a valve cover gasket leak... As I go down the highway the sterring wheel shakes vigorously and I assure her everthing is safe. :O Last but not least... I refill my tires with air because I dont have the money to replace my corroding rims that are decaying from the inside out. This car has cost me more money than it was worth... I should kept my old 87 Honda Accord that I sold for 500 bucks! No wonder our beloved automakers are losing ground against the foreign competition...

  Good Job America - 2001 Lincoln LS
  By d1a1s1 - December 17 - 10:00 am

  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.

  Good sports car not a family car - 2001 Lincoln LS
  By Bring back the LS - December 4 - 5:06 pm

  I have had the vehicle for a few years now. I have had just a few problems with it. the valve cover gaskets leaked, the chrome on the inside of the rims had oxidated and potted out. I recently had to purchase new rims for the vehicle 8(. Over all the car has been a good car gets okay fuel mileage for a V8. Only thing i wish it had more of is storage room in the trunk and room in the car with 2 kids it can be a tight fit on long trips.

  Milwaukee Lincoln LS V8 - 2001 Lincoln LS
  By Taruntaev - October 16 - 10:00 am

  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.

  BMW KLR - 2001 Lincoln LS
  By Sn8kbordin - September 17 - 10:00 am

  I wanted an elegant, luxurious, fun to drive sports sedan. This car fulfills all my needs: rear wheel drive, near 50- 50 weight distribution, V8, enough interior space, big trunk, and it is American made. It is very comfortable (even with the sport package). Has great handling. It is powerful and I get 17MPG in city driving.
