I was just informed from admin that we CANNOT use the term POS.....It is inappropfiate language......Thats what ADMIN says........2017 Lincoln Continental. POS. So many things went wrong that dealers could not fix. Purchased new. Got rid of it after only four months
My two 1998 and one 2002 Continentals were GREAT.
My 2017was a POS. .
YUPLots of POS variations in this thread.

LOL Yeah been there done that! In my case the starting issues got stranger and stranger until eventually the car didn't start at all for several months. I finally decided to try a BCM from the junkyard (for just $24) and now the car starts and runs great. I didn't get anything re-programmed but the only issue is it no longer recognizes the radio. And of course before I could drive it I had to replace both rear brake lines...2003 Chevy Impala. Lots of good stuff about the car until the mysterious ignition problem that prevented the car from starting. Spent years trying to find a solution. Finally replaced the body control module, which mostly solved it, after spending lots of money on various fixes that didn't work, but by then the underside was so rusted out I junked the car.
That's great! I called around and found a dealer willing to let me replace the BCM in their lot and then helped me push the car into their garage where they reprogrammed it. I had to pay for just the reprogramming, but it wouldn't start without it.I finally decided to try a BCM from the junkyard (for just $24) and now the car starts and runs great.

It's also possible I just got lucky and it worked without re-programming. I'll probably never know for sure.That's great!

How was it in terms of reliability though? any major issues and how many miles/years did you end up owning it. Asking for a friend….2013 Chrysler 200 limited. It lacks the comfort, styling, build quality, and charisma that my LH cars had while only getting mildly better mileage. I was in a hurry and didn't shop as thoroughly as I should have.
Same for me...Seems like a lot of Ford problems have popped up in this thread. And that has basically been my Ford experience. Never again.
