2006 Lincoln Ls problems
The Lincoln LS is a four-door, five-passenger luxury sedan manufactured and marketed by Ford's Lincoln division over a single generation from 1999 until 2006. Introduced in June 1999 for the 2000 model year, the LS featured rear-wheel drive and near 50/50 weight distribution and was available with a V8 or V6, the latter initially offered with a manual transmission. The LS aimed to provide a blend of luxury and sport to attract a new generation of buyers to the Lincoln brand.
The LS shared the Ford DEW98 platform with the Jaguar S-Type and the Ford Thunderbird. Trim levels ranged from the base V6 model to the Special Edition V8 LSE trims in 2004, with revised front and rear fascia, taillights and foglights, and front grille.
LS models were manufactured at Ford's Wixom Assembly Plant until production ended on April 3, 2006, and the plant was idled as part of Ford's The Way Forward. Approximately 262,900 were manufactured, including 2,331 with manual transmissions and 1,500 LSE editions.

Common 2006 Lincoln Ls problems
The 2006 Lincoln LS is known for several common problems, primarily related to the engine, cooling system, and transmission.
- Timing Chain Failure: Some 2000 Lincoln LS owners have reported engine problems caused by bad timing chains. Over time, timing chains can become loose from normal operation, causing them to jump a tooth or break. A bad timing chain can knock the engine’s timing and lead to numerous issues, such as engine failure and decreased fuel economy. A bad timing tensioner can also be a factor in causing engine problems.
- Fuel System Issues: Fuel pump failures have been reported in the 2006 Lincoln LS, often due to a clogged fuel filter. Regular maintenance, including changing the fuel filter, is crucial to prevent fuel system issues.
- A/C Blowing Hot Air: Many Lincoln LS owners have reported issues with the air conditioning system, with the A/C blowing hot air instead of cooling the vehicle. This issue can be caused by various factors, including a faulty compressor, low refrigerant levels, or a malfunctioning blend door actuator.
- Electrical Issues: Electrical problems, such as malfunctioning power windows, power seats, and other accessories, have been reported in the 2006 Lincoln LS. These issues can be caused by worn-out switches, faulty wiring, or blown fuses.
- Suspension and Brake Issues: Suspension and brake problems, such as worn-out brake pads, rotors, and suspension components, have been reported in the 2006 Lincoln LS. Regular maintenance, including brake inspections and wheel alignments, is essential to prevent these issues.
In summary, the 2006 Lincoln LS has several common problems, primarily related to the engine, cooling system, and transmission. Regular maintenance and inspections are crucial to prevent these issues and ensure the longevity and reliability of the vehicle.

- Summary: ENCLOSED IS A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF A RECENT MICHELIN TIRE FAILURE ON MY 2006 LINCOLN LS. ON FRIDAY, MAY 29, 2009 I WAS RETURNING TO SOUTH FLORIDA FROM A TRIP TO DALLAS, TX. I WAS DRIVING ON I-10 ABOUT 15 MILES EAST OF LAFAYETTE, LA. I SUDDENLY HEARD A SLAPPING/FLAPPING NOISE COMING FROM THE LEFT REAR OF THE CAR. I LOOKED AT MY OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRROR AND OBSERVED PIECES OF THE REAR LEFT TIRE PEELING AWAY FROM THE TIRE. THEN THE CAR LURCHED AS THE METAL RIM OF THE LEFT REAR WHEEL MADE CONTACT WITH THE PAVEMENT. I LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO STEER THE CAR INTO THE RIGHT SIDE EMERGENCY LANE. THERE WAS A STEADY STREAM OF VEHICLES RACING BY ME, MANY OF THEM 18-WHEELER SEMI-TRACTOR TRAILERS. AS SOON AS THERE WAS AN OPPORTUNITY I EXITED THE CAR, AS DID MY COMPANION. I WALKED ALONG THE GUARDRAIL AND TO THE REAR OF THE CAR TO VIEW THE LEFT REAR WHEEL. I COULD SEE THAT ALL OF THE TIRE EXCEPT THE SIDEWALLS WERE GONE AND THE RIM WAS BADLY DAMAGED FROM MAKING CONTACT WITH THE PAVEMENT. I CALLED THE LINCOLN EMERGENCY ROAD SERVICE NUMBER ON MY CELL PHONE FOR A TOW TRUCK. MEANWHILE AN LOUISIANA STATE TROOPER ARRIVED AND PARKED BEHIND MY CAR AND WAITED FOR THE TOW TRUCK THAT ARRIVED ABOUT 30 MINUTES LATER. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST AUTHORIZED LINCOLN-MERCURY DEALER IN BREAUX BRIDGE, LA. THE FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT ORDERED AND INSTALLED A NEW REPLACEMENT RIM AND TIRE ON SATURDAY, MAY 30TH. THEY PLACED THE TWO SIDEWALLS STILL ON THE DAMAGED RIM IN MY TRUNK AND I CONTINUED MY TRIP HOME. BASED ON WHAT I HEARD AND WITNESSED WHEN PARTS OF THE MICHELIN TIRE SEPARATED FROM THE SIDEWALL AND RIM IT APPEARS THAT THE TIRE FAILED DUE TO A CONSTRUCTION DEFECT. THE PHOTOS SHOW THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE CAUSED TO THE TIRE THAT SEPARATED THE TREAD CASING FROM THE SIDEWALLS. HERE IS MORE IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR YOUR RECORDS. I HAVE IN MY POSSESSION THE PART OF THE DESTROYED TIRE CONTAINING THE MICHELIN TIRE DESCRIPTION AND THE DOT CODE. IT PROVES BEYOND A DOUBT THAT IT WAS THE MICHELIN TIRE. *TR

Congratulations on your new purchase! You got yourself a 2006 Lincoln LS V8 Sport with only 78k miles for an amazing price of $13,000. It's incredible how much value you got for your money, considering that this car was originally sold for $45,000 just three years ago. Even though you were a bit skeptical about the 280 hp V8 engine after driving a 400 hp GTO, it sounds like you're really enjoying the premium interior, sound system, power moonroof, advancetrac, heated/cooled seats, and especially the surround sound. The car is also roomy and provides a comfortable ride. While the throttle may lag a bit in low gears compared to the GTO, the stiff sporty suspension handles nicely and most other performance aspects are as advertised. Overall, it sounds like you made a great choice and I hope you continue to enjoy your new ride!
-
Congratulations on finally getting the car you've been wanting for four years! I'm glad to hear that you found a sporty and comfortable car that suits your needs. It sounds like you did your research and put in a lot of effort to find the perfect car for you. I hope you have many enjoyable and comfortable miles ahead of you in your new car!

I looked at several large sedans, including the ES and GS Lexus, BMW 5, M45 Infiniti, and even a Toyota Avalon. However, I ended up buying the Toyota Avalon after test driving it and falling in love with it. It was silver with a black leather interior and had a premium interior design. The LS was a great value for the money, with rear-wheel drive, balanced suspension, and almost 300hp for plenty of pickup. It also had plenty of headroom, hip and leg comfort for someone over 6 feet tall. The options included air and heated seats, moonroof, smart keys, and more. It was a complete package, except for navigation, but this was the last one on the lot.

Congratulations on your first luxury sedan! It sounds like you have had quite the variety of vehicles in the past, from sports cars to trucks. Based on your comparison to your 2006 Grand Prix, it seems like the LS is a very fun car to drive with a substantial and smooth power level from the small V8. The ride quality is also impressive, allowing for quick response in any situation and speed. While the interior is nice, it could benefit from more/better adjustments for the driver's seat. Overall, it sounds like you are enjoying your new ride!

I love this car! The ride is great! I can't believe that this car is being discontinued. This is the kind of car that Ford Motor Co should build around. American luxury that is amazing to drive no matter how you drive! This car is a keeper!

Are you having problems with your 2006 Lincoln Ls?
Favian Beatty 2024-08-26
I really like this car, but unfortunately I will have to purchase a German vehicle next, perhaps an Audi or MB. Although it is overpriced and has fewer features than a Mercedes-Benz C230 Sport Sedan, the handling is pretty nice. While I am not a big fan of the leather, I have noticed that D Waters is right - my LS blows dust in from both the front and back rows. It might be more appealing to customers if it were called a V6, as the current V8 is not very powerful. The luxury options are quite expensive, and while the exterior may not be the most attractive, the interior is quite nice. Overall, I would recommend considering a BMW 330i or a Mercedes-Benz C280 or Audi A4.

Car handles fine. Gas mileage needs improvement. This is my first LS, four prior Town Cars, but I would not repeat this purchase again. Unfortunately, the seats are the most uncomfortable I have ever owned. I have had this vehicle for one year and I am in the process of replacing it.
