This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
This car has had eight incidents in two years of coil packs failing. I have had multiple other problems with this car, ie (brakes, air conditioning electronics...) Ford can't get the coil problems fixed.
We own a 2001 Lincoln Ls - V8. The engine has a coil on each spark plug. The coils are failing at the rate of one a month. When the coils fail the engine misfires and you have to fight with the car to keep it under control as it lurches on the highway. It is really severe in an uphill failure. I have never owned a car with coil failure. The mechanic tells me (and has coil parts to prove it) that this is a severe Ford problem. I called Ford and they deny any safety issue or wrong doing. I know it is a safety issue and the coils are failing before the recommended spark plug change period!! Ford needs to step up and replace these parts. They are defective and put the driver in an unsafe driving condition.
The car has shut down at highway speeds. No known cause. Have taken it to the dealership where purchased - could not duplicate, and could not find a cause. It has now happened twice at high speeds. No resolution has been provided.
