Noticed the cars right side was making a noise but brakes and tire was fine then the right side lower ball joint stud fractured just as the recall for this model says and did not result in a crash but could have.

: the contact stated the lug nut wrench did not fit the lug nuts on the wheels which made it impossible to take the wheels off. The dealership suggested the contact buy new lug nuts. Updated 8/16/2006 -

Smell of something burning - going to the dealership today. Headlight covers collect moisture. Airback light on - was quoted approximately $500 to fix. Driver side door does not open from inside - $85 to determine that the latch is worn off & again an estimate for $850 to fix the handle. Three out of the four power windows dropped down & had to be fixed in the last two years. Both the driver and the passenger seatbacks have fallen off. Driver seat makes noise when going/sliding back. On two seperate occasions I was unable to apply the brake when coming to a stop - car kept on rolling & I could not press the brake. Loud noise when accelerating between 45-55mph which I was told is "normal".

I purchased the 2000 Lincoln Ls in November 2002. I have had break trouble at the cost of $1000. In the past two weeks, I have been informed that the car has had catostrophic damage and would be better off buying a new engine. I'm highly concerned about this occurrence and request an immediate resolution to my concerns.
