#1 of 137 TSB 01-01-05 by mkovalsk Feb 13, 2001 (2:36 pm)
Here is the text of the TSB:   Some vehicles built prior to 9/27/2000 with a 3.9L engine and 5R55N transmission or built prior to 10/17/2000 with a 3.0L engine and 5R55N transmission may exhibit delayed Reverse or Drive engagements, harsh upshifts or downshifts, erratic upshifts, or delayed downshifts near 32 km/h (20 mph). This may be caused by the calibration of the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).   If you have these symptoms see your dealer.   Mark
#2 of 137 Outside Temp Display Errors by stanny1 Feb 18, 2001 (9:18 am)
Ford can reprogram the auto climate control that displays an ambient temperature lower than what's actually outside. TSB 00-3-2.
#3 of 137 Lock Out by mikiebaccarat Feb 27, 2001 (4:38 pm)
Some Lincoln LS will automatically lock you out of the car if you exit the car (say to scrape the snow off the windows) and you leave the car running. (It happened to me) This is not a fault with the automatic electric remote control door locks but the manual locking devise. There is a retro fit fix for this that your dealer should have or be able to get.

where are the 2002's what could be wrong with them for ford to hold them back I heard a rumor that there was a problem with the engine but the engine is the same as last year isn't it?
#5 of 137 2002 Lincoln LS by airwolf1000 Oct 24, 2001 (9:01 am)
Janco1956   We just came back from Wixom and Dearborn. The 2002s are being produced. We saw them coming of the line. Lots of new colors and the addition of the LSE Package. You will like them. There was a problem with a Vendor supplied part that was causing a few to Overheat. The issue has been corrected. By the way it is a great engine. An interesting tidbit about the V8 many don't know about is that it can run without water if there is coolant loss. Like Cadillac's Northstar.   Regards, Airwolf1000   Some LS Owners have already seen the 02s at the lots.   R

I took delivery of my 2002 LS Sport last Monday, it was born on 6/29/01 and was held up due to the defective coolant module problem. Other then a problem with the paint job on the passenger C pillar I'm very pleased with the car.   Tom
#7 of 137 rear window mechanism problem LS 2001 by rcopans Oct 26, 2001 (10:23 am)
My right rear window mechanism went bad and had to have it replaced on the road. the dealer said that there was a technical service bulletin issued that if one side went, they are to replace both mechanisms. Unfortunately they did not have the left one in stock. When I got to my destination and made an appointment with my local dealer for service, they will not replace the left one because it is working. Does anyone have a copy of the Technical Service Bulletin that says that both window regulators must be replaced? If you do, please foward this to me as I would like to bring it over to my dealer. Thanks

If the other one is working I wouldn't worry about it. Even the new parts are prone to failure. There is a redesign underway to replace the plastic part with a metal one but that won't be available for several months. It's also caused by high heat so the cool weather should help. You should also use your rear windows periodically - lack of use plus high heat causes the failure. In my experience having the TSB number or even the TSB verbage won't help because the dealer won't even look at it. You could try to get them to look up the TSB and check it. The number is 01-01-02. The OASIS code is 102000.
#9 of 137 FRONT HEADLIGHT (CONDENSATION) & BUMBY RIDE < 40 DEGREES by kevcon Mar 29, 2002 (5:39 am)
I OWN A 2000LS V8 AND THE BOTH FRONT HEADLIGHTS HAVE DEVELOPED A SEVERE CONDENSATION PROBLEM INSIDE THE GLASS. HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM?   THE OTHER ISSUE I NOTICE IS WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 40 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND I FIRST DRIVE THE CAR THE RIDE IS ROUGH FOR APPROXIMATELY THE FIRST MILE. IT A VERY "BUMPY" RIDE. EVERYONE I HAD IN THE CAR HAS COMMENTED. I CHECKED THE TIRE PRESSURE AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST.   WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE 40 DEGREES I HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED THIS PROBLEM.   I PURCHASED THIS CAR USED AND HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE FOR ONE MONTH. THE MILLAGE IS 24,000.
#10 of 137 Headlights... by joe166 Mar 29, 2002 (6:11 am)
I can't help you on the bumby ride, but I suspect it is a tire problem the way you describe it. The original Firestones work pretty well for most people and last forever (sport model Firehawks), and are really cheap for a supposed performance tire so look into replacing what you have since 24,000 miles is getting close to the limit, especially if the car was driven hard.   As to the headlight, these should be replaced under warranty unless you are out of warranty for some reason (time?). Originally, L-M was replacing all the fogged up headlights then they stopped and required some analysis. It seems that there is supposed to be some way for moisture to enter and then leave the headlight assembly. In other words, the fact that they fog up in car washes or in driving rain AND THEN CLEAR UP will not result in replacement, but if it persists or does it all the time, they will replace it. If the warranty does not cover it for some reason, you might want to go to E-bay as there always seem to be LS headlight assemblies on there. Apparently it is a very popular aftermarket item since it will fit many of the small Japanese imports that are so popular with just some small modifications so kids are always buying or stealing them.
