2000 Lincoln Continental - Awesome Daily Driver - New Trans + Ac on 2040-cars
I am adding this statement to address the very odd report on this car:
Hope this helps relieve any ambiguity on the car! Thanks! DETAILS BELOW. This has been my daily driver for 3 years and it was bought new from a dealer in SC by my grandmother. It was given to me when I entered graduate school so I could reduce my bills. Well I have graduated now and I am unloading the "Silver Bullet." This car has been awesome and I would drive to CA in it tomorrow with no hesitation. I am super picky about maintenance on my equipment and I have kept this car in perfect mechanical shape. 138,500 Miles, V8 4.6 L, Traction Control, Really Well Equipped, SIDE AIR BAGS -Oil changes every 3,500-4,500 miles with synthetic / conventional blend -New A/C lines, compressor and condensor within last 10,000 miles -Rebuilt Transmission by Certified MotorCraft mechanic using MotorCraft parts within 25,000 miles -Bridgestone Turanza tires with 85% tread life left (60,000 mile tires) -Sway bars on rear suspension just replaced -Transmission flushed within 10,000 miles -New Serpentine Belt within 10,000 miles I have all the receipts and will gladly send them along with the car. I am sad to see it go since it has been in my family for it's whole life. This would make a perfect daily commuter to keep miles off other vehicles or a perfect SAFE first car for your teen. It handles great, feels really solid and it has tons of power. It is a 2000 model so it does have a few little intricacies but none of them effect the reliability or comfort of the car. Like I said I am really picky about my equipment. Please let me know if you would like to see it (email preferred). I am readily available and want to see it go to a good home. Thanks for looking.

Ellen DeGeneres sends up Matthew McConaughey's Lincoln ad
Mon, 29 Sep 2014Lincoln had to have known that when it released its new ad campaign for the new MKC with Matthew McConaughey, it would open itself up to a bit of good old fashioned ridicule. The television commercial was, after all, good for a laugh or two. And true to their mission, talk show hosts haven't missed the opportunity to have a little fun at Lincoln's and McConaughey's expense.
Conan O'Brien was first to send up the television spot, but now Ellen DeGeneres has taken a stab at it too, superimposing herself in the back seat of the compact luxury crossover, downing some pot brownies and generally playing Costello to McConaughey's Abbott. It's worth a watch, if only to see Ellen getting down in her usual, offbeat style.
Ford recalls 83k Taurus and crossover models for halfshaft issue
Fri, 15 Aug 2014Ford and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration have issued a recall for some 83,250 vehicles in the US, for an issue with halfshafts. More specifically a "halfshaft retention circlip" might not have been properly installed on affected vehicles, with the result being halfshafts that may move improperly or disengage completely from the linkshaft while driving. The NHTSA release also notes that the issue may occur "without prior warning" which obviously factors in to the timeliness of getting this checked.
Should the halfshaft disengage, a few troubling things could happen. If it occurs while driving, power from the engine will no longer be transmitted to the wheels. And, if the vehicle is parked without the parking brake applied after disengagement of the circlip, vehicles may roll away even if they're transmissions have been placed in "Park."
Affected vehicles are as follows: Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX crossovers from model years 2012 to 2014; Ford Taurus and Lincoln MKS sedans from model years 2013 to 2014; Ford Flex and Lincoln MKT vehicles from model years 2013 to 2014.
NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue
Tue, 07 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.
