I like my LS alot. the body & interior is what made my want to buy this car but I dont know if its just me or what but I can NEVER! get my car to have everything work like it should at one time...when i fix onething something else pops up and messes up! sometimes i seriously think of just getting rid of it. Im just wondering if yall have had as many things as i have mess up on your LS? Heres a lil list of things that have messed up on my LS.

.COIL PLUGS...I THINK THIS ONE GOES FOR JUST ABOUT EVERYONE. IVE HAD TO FIX THEM TWICE!!!

.ALL 4 WINDOW REGULATORS!!!! INCLUDING THE MOONROOF(WICH I HAVENT FIXED YET)IM ALMOST SCARED OF ROLLING DOWN A WINDOW CAUSE I THINK ITS GONNA BREAK.

.A/C COMPRESSOR GONE BAD

.RIGHT TAIL LIGHT GETS WATER INSIDE IT AND MAKES THE LIGHTBULP BUST.

.DRIVER SIDE DOOR KNOB BROKE OFF

.WINDOW WASHER FLUID DOESNT COME OUT ANYMORE...NOT SURE Y(I HAVENT FIXED THIS YET)

.TWO FRONT SPEAKERS BUSTED

.PASSENGER SEAT DIDNT RECLYNE ANYMORE

I think thats it but im sure i forgot about something that i fixed along time ago...
 
only problems I had was 1 window regulator break thanks to my buddy who's retarded at jacking up a car, my coils/spark plugs, leak in draining reservoir on passenger side (the A-pillar), coolant reservoir cracking, and ball joints in the rear going out, oh and my driver's side front seat doesn't warm up as much as the passenger side but that doesn't bug me one bit.
 
Why don't we start with what HASN'T been a problem... probably a shorter list.
 
1. Water in fog light
2. Heated seats no longer work
3. One window regulator
4. Wheel bearing
5. Both front ABS sensor
6. Coils/Plugs/VCG
7. Replace PCM
8. Whole timing kit


Still love the LS though :)

Getting the springs/shocks/spacers/wheels put on this week!
 
Oh yeah one more...

9. A/C blows hot occasionally...DCCV issue that will fix when AC no longer works.

Click to expand...

true true true..

Well mine is short as of the moment:

1. Bad battery (replaced for 135 Motorcraft from Ford)
2. Coils (of course; havent been attempted yet)
3. Lug Nuts missing (?? Possibly part of the '03 17" rim recall)
4. Service Park brake (Probably from my accident.. its been on since)
5. Weird jerk/kick (idk why.. happens after braking then accelerating)
6. Fog in lights

And so far that is it.. Thank goodness! I was thinking we should include the year of the vehicle, engine, and mileage so all us other ls owners can identify with everyone and be on the look out for this problem when coming around the same mileage.

Year: 2003 v8 Mileage: 85500
 
will they really? Ugh.. Ford made such an awesome car! Like hey.. lets put these horrible coils in this beatiful machine and laugh at all the owners when theyre cats die. haha.. no pun intended but i mean come on now.. for real? They sure know how to get under peoples skin..

Anywho.. aside from the rant.. if i have a Ford warranty will they cover my catalytic converter? My engine and everything is covered.. I believe my plan covers 119 parts on my car.. Hopefully it covers everything it needs to!
 
2001 V8 110,000 miles
window regualtors x2
All coils
knuckles and ball joints
steering rack
coolant bottle
drivers inside handle
and just a few other small things.
