I HAVE BEEN HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF A ISSUE WITH MY LINCOLN LS SEDAN 2004 V8 WITH THE FAILURE OF THE COILS. THERE HAS BEEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY BY LINCOLN FORD PERTAINING TO THE RECALL OR DAMAGE PARTS ON MY MODEL.THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED FOR 10 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE ISSUE IS THAT WITH THE COILS FAILING IT AFFECTS THE THROTTLE BODY IN EVERY INSTANCE WITH THE COILS FAILING. I BELIEVE LINCOLN/FORD SHOULD BE INCLUDING THIS PART FOR WARRANTY REPAIR AS IT COMES HAND IN HAND IN THE PROBLEMS WITH COILS FAILING AND PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN SAFE MODE. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS OF COILS FAILING AND THEN THE THROTTLE BODY FAILING THEREAFTER. I WOULD THAT THIS PROBLEM THAT NOW HAS ARRIVED FOR THE LINCOLN LS SEDANS 2004 AND OTHER YEARS BE RESOLVED AND NOT CREATING A FINANCIAL BIND TO TRY TO REPAIR THE THROTTLE BODY OF $900.00 DOLLARS. PLEASE FORWARD ANY PARTIES THAT MAY HELP ME AND OTHERS SOLVE OUR CONTINOUS PROBLEMS WITH ARE CARS. THANKS *TR
