The car has 82,000 miles on it. The throttle position sensor seems to be acting up. After researching this issue on the net, it appears this has been an issue since 04 with Ford. In addition, they are on the 3rd generation sensor. I was driving normal speeds, then the warning light came on, killing the power to the engine, put me in a precarious situation on a 45 50 mile an hr road. Since this known issue since 04, seems like Ford should replace this. It's a 20 dollar part, retail, but with this motor, you have to buy a totally rebuilt throttle body for 200+. it is dangerous because it can slow the car right down as you are driving. If you shut the motor off, it 'repairs' itself and works normally.

The traction control light comes on all the time. When you take off the car is gutless no power. Until you hit traction control off. Sometimes does it after. Bit. Someone almost hit me pulling out from the gas station last night again, due to no power! it also messes with the shifting due to the traction control ive put everything into my car. This is a huge problem due to the fact it can mess with the transmission and engine throwing off the timing. This should be recalled, ive seen many people complaining about the exact samething. Then there's the brakes which are new but yet the pedal has to be pushed almost to the floor to come to complete stop.

The problem is re-occurring. When the weather goes below freezing ice builds up around the electronic throttle body. The car will start and as the engine starts to heat up the ice starts to break up. As soon as I have taken the car past 25mph and I let off the gas the engine starts to stall out sending an error signal to the computer and the wrench light comes on. I must say that the problem is very random and does not always occur. I have learned from experience that I must pull over and turn off the car. Turning off the car causes the computer to reset and the wrench light turns off and the car goes back to normal. I am upset because after I took the car to my local dealer they told me that nothing was wrong and that in order for them to fix the problem I would have to drive the car in with the wrench light still on. In reality, this means that I would have to drive with a fuel starved stalling engine to the dealership and I would have to keep the car running until somebody came to help. As soon as I turn off the car the problem no longer exists. I have read many other online posts and blogs from other Lincoln and Ford owners describing the same issue. I hope that Ford can acknowledge this problem. I am very frustrated.
