Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I am concerned with the safety of my lincoln. when the coils go bad the car starts missing. i was stopped being a school bus when my rpm's surged to 6500 and my car jolted forward. after the bus started up, i gave the car little gas to go, and it stalled. it stalled on the interstate the evening before. the mechanic told me that 3 coils were out. i have had the same situation 3 or 4 other times. my 2000 lincoln ls has had several coils replaced. mechanic finally determined that the valve cover gasket was bad. after replacing the gaskets, 3 coils went out within several days. i think that from my research, the valve cover gaskets are defective and should be recalled and coils replaced or reimbursement made for coils already replaced. i feel that this is a safety issue when the car surges and stalls on the highway. *tr
