I own an '04 Lincoln LS and i was driving through the snow yesterday when i was having a little trouble making it up a hill, my car stalled and on my dash it said ETC FailSafe and i had to restart my car. This happened twice. Does anybody have any idea what this could be?
 
This is the Electronic Throttle Control fault light.
There are several TSB's (Technical Service Bulletins) which may or may not apply to your particular LS, but it's certainly worth a call to your local dealership service department.
 
On a LS when they go into failsafe mode it could be serious, Difinety need to get a proper diagnostic done preferably a lincoln dealer. If you continue to drive it and ignore the warning the problem could balloon on you. Let me know how it goes
