2015 LINCOLN MKC Complaints

GAS TANK WOULD SUCK IN AIR, BEGIN TO RUN VERY RUFF AND THEN STALL. WOULD HAVE TO OPEN THE GAS DOOR AND PUSH THE SEAL OPEN IN ORDER TO ALLOW AIR INTO THE TANK.

THE MANUAL LIFT GATE WILL NOT ALWAYS OPEN. WHEN IN DRIVE OR IN PARK WHILE TURNED OFF, THERE IS A SOUND COMING FROM THE LIFT GATE LIKE IT IS TRYING TO FUNCTION.

HATCH BACK WON'T OPEN WITH KEY DASH BUTTON OR MANUALLY. NOW CAR IS UNABLE TO START. WILL NOT ALLOW GEAR CHANGE. LIGHTS FLASH. INTERIOR LIGHTS DON'T COME ON WHEN DOOR IS OPENED. TOWING TO FORD DEALER. CAR WAS IN GARAGE AT STANDSTILL. LOCK RECALL PERFORMED 5DAYS AGO.

MY MKC WAS ONE OF THE FIRST MANUFACTURED. IT CAME WITH MICHELIN TIRES. AT 33,000 MILES I HAD TO REPLACE A TIRE DUE TO A NAIL IN THE SIDEWALL- IT TOOK THE DEALER 3 WEEKS TO FIND ONE. TODAY I WAS JUST TOLD TWO MORE TIRES NEED TO BE REPLACED ON THE CAR BUT THEY ARE NOT AVAILABLE!1 UNBELIEVABLE! I HAVE A 2015 CAR THAT CAN'T BE DRIVEN BECAUSE THEY USED MICHELIN TIRES THAT CAN'T BE BOUGHT! LINCOLN SHOUL DBE MADE TO PAY FOR UPGRADED TIRES FOR ALL 4 WHEELS NOW PLEASE- I CAN'T WAIT FOR WEEKS TO GET A TIRE!

CONTINENTAL TIRES NUMBER 235/50 R18-97H M-S RADIAL TUBELESS FRONT TIRES ARE LOSING CHUNKS OF TIRE AND PEELING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TIRE. THESE ARE THE ORIGINAL TIRES FOR MY 2015 LINCLON MKC. MY CAR IS SERVICED EVERY 3-4 MONTHS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE HAD TIRES ROTATED A FEW MONTHS AGO. TOTAL MILEAGE ON VEHICLE TO DATE IS: 27,580.3 . THE TREAD IS STILL DEEP, BUT THE RUBBER IS CRACKED THROUGHOUT, PEELING, AND LOSING CHUNKS / COMING OFF. THIS WAS IDENTIFIED WHEN I HAD LOW TIRE PRESSURE FROM ROLLING OVER A SCREW. OTHERWISE, THE DAMAGE TO BOTH FRONT TIRES WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN FOUND UNTIL FURTHER TIRE DAMAGE, BLOWN TIRE, AND/OR INJURY WOULD HAVE OCCURRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 LINCOLN MKC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 3-5 MPH IN TRAFFIC, ANOTHER VEHICLE STRUCK THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE CRASH. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED AN INJURY TO THE LEFT SIDE OF THE HEAD AS IT CAME IN CONTACT WITH THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW, AS WELL AS INJURIES TO THE LEFT SHOULDER, LUMBER STRAIN, LEFT KNEE AND LEG INJURIES, AND RIGHT AND LEFT WRIST STRAINS. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT HER LEFT JAW WAS SWOLLEN AND SHE SUFFERED ONGOING HEADACHES. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF THE INJURIES TO THE OTHER PARTY INVOLVED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN LOCAL LINCOLN DEALER IN CLEVELAND, OHIO WHICH WAS THEN TAKEN TO NICK MAYER COLLSION CENTER (2613 SCRANTON RD IN CLEVELAND, OHIO 44113 (216) 556-1222) FOR BODY REPAIRS AND DIAGNOSES FOR THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 13,900.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS I HAVE COME VERY CLOSE TO GETTING INTO SERIOUS ACCIDENTS WITH MY 2015 LINCOLN MKC. THE VEHICLE HAS A MAJOR BLIND SPOT FROM FROM THE FRAME COWEL THAT LEADS DOWN FROM THE ROOF COVERING THE OUTER EDGE OF THE WINDSHIELD. INSIDE THE VEHICLE IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE ONCOMING TRAFFIC IF YOU'RE LOOKING LEFT. IF A MOTOR CYCLE, MOTOR SCOOTER OR BICYCLIST IS APPROACHING FROM YOUR RIGHT SIDE, YOU MAY NOT SEE HIM OR HER. I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN, INTENDING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN. FOR SOME REASON I TOOK AN EXTRA SECOND TO STOP. I DID NOT SEE THE MOTOR SCOOTER AND HE WOULD HAVE T-BONED MY CAR IF I HAD JUST PULLED OUT ASSUMING THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC COMING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 (NA) LINCOLN MKC HYBRID. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE TIRE PRESSURE, SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC, AND SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER. THE CONTACT MANEUVERED THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. AFTER THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON THREE TIMES, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY WALDORF FORD IN 2015 UNDER A RECALL FOR THE POWER STEERING ISSUE BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE RECALL INFORMATION WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

I DROVE TO THE END OF MY DRIVEWAY WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 1000 FEET. I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT IT WENT INTO PARK BECAUSE THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE OF THIS VEHICLE THAT I HAVE USED MANY TIMES WITHOUT ISSUE AND IT IS LISTED AS SUCH IN MY OWNER'S MANUAL. I STOOD THERE BESIDE THE VEHICLE TO ALLOW TWO CARS TO PASS ON THE HIGHWAY BEFORE WALKING ACROSS THE HIGHWAY TO CHECK MY MAIL. I COLLECTED MY MAIL AND TURNED AROUND TO CROSS THE HIGHWAY TO RETURN TO MY VEHICLE AND I SAW THE VEHICLE COMING ACROSS THE ROAD TOWARDS ME. I JUMPED OUT OF THE WAY OF THE VEHICLE JUST IN TIME BEFORE IT STRUCK MY MAILBOX. AS A RESULT THE FRONT GRILL IS DAMAGED. I FEEL FORTUNATE THAT I TURNED AROUND IN TIME TO GET OUT OF THE WAY BECAUSE I COULD HAVE BEEN HURT OR KILLED IF THE VEHICLE HAD STRUCK ME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 LINCOLN MKC. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE DOOR CHIME SOUNDED AND THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR OPENED. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE ONTO THE ROAD SHOULDER AND, AFTER REPEATED ATTEMPTS TO CLOSE THE DOOR, THE CONTACT HAD TO USE A BUNGEE CORD TO SECURE THE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER AND WAS ADVISED THAT ONLY THE REAR DOORS WERE INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.
