I am now a former LS owner. I bought a 01 LS V6 a little over a year ago. Loved the ride and look of the car, but experienced many of the same problems I read about here (jolting transmission, brake problems, periodic rough idle, etc., etc). In an effort to gain some reliability, I traded the LS...

Thanks for the replies. I called Lincoln Customer Service who showed no recalls on my 01 LS. They said the recall listed earlier in this thread may not pertain to all cars. I also went to www.genuineservice.com and entered my VIN which also showed no recalls. So where did the above recall come...

I recently had the left side ball joint on my 01 LS replaced at a cost of $500. The stealership told me I also will shortly need the right side done. Poking around the internet I found the following recall record: Recall Date: NOV 03, 2000 Summary: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER...

I'm about to become an ex-LS 01 v6 owner. I've had the usual problems I've been reading about in this forum (e.g. jolting transmission, unexplained periodic rough idle, screeching brakes with 8 different pad/rotor combos, loose ball joints, etc) and I just drove a 2005 Jaguar S-type. I know it...

I'm going thru the same issue with screeching brakes on my 01 LS. Had the brakes done at Fair Muffler and went thru 4 different rotor/pad combinations and it still screeches. Supposedly his last attempt was with OEM rotors/pads. I then took it to a different Fair Muffler (just hoping they would...

01 V6 LS all stock.

I need to replace 2 tires on my 01 LS. I'm thinking of getting the Continental 215/60R16 CH95's that are on the car, but have heard varying opinions on them. Suggestions?

I just paid $245 for a dealer PCM flash.

My V6 got 27 MPG with highway driving.

Great looking car. I recently bought the same thing, 01 LS V6 w/72K miles - same color. How many miles on yours?

01lssport, Thanks, I'll check it out.

I have an annoying problem with my '01 LS. The right rear brake light keeps breaking due to moisture forming in the taillight housing. The moisture drops onto the hot bulb and it breaks. I can find no cracks or breaks in the housing but can see moisture forming in the section that contains the...

I'm not sure of the brand names he was using at first except that they were ceramic pads. The last thing he put on were the OEM rotors and pads.

I recently bought an 01 LS. I immediately needed new front brakes and rotors which I had installed by the Fair Muffler dealer I have been using happily for years. He used 'premium' rotors and ceramic pads. The brakes screeched badly at application so he tried another set. Same result. He then...

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I recently purchased a 2001 LS V6 w/72K miles. I'm looking at some transmission issues (sounds like the PCM reprogram issue). I'm trying to determine the exact manufacture date of the car to see what might apply. Can someone tell me how to do this? The VIN only gives...
