2013 LINCOLN MKS Complaints

THE HEATING SYSTEM FOR THE CAR WILL AUTOMATICALLY TURN UP TO 90 DEGREE, ALL ON ITS OWN. I AM UNABLE TO SHUT IT OFF, OR TURN IT DOWN. THIS IS ES[SPECIALLY DANGEROUS WITH THE DEFOGGER.

A/C RANDOMLY GOES TO HIGHEST SETTING AND YOU CAN'T ADJUST IT OR TURN IT OFF. TYPICALLY HAPPENS IN EXTREME TERMPERATURES (HOT AND COLD). BEEPING NOISE AS IF YOU ARE PRESSING THE BUTTONS IS CONTINUOUS. WAS ADVISED IT WAS A FAULTY FCIM BUT THE PART "IS ON BACK ORDER" AND NO ONE CAN ADVISE WHEN THIS PART WILL BECOME AVAILABLE. IN DOING RESEARCH, THE FCIM PART SEEMS TO BE FAILING IN MANY VEHICLES AND EVERYONE HAS THE SAME COMPLAINT - THEY CAN'T GET ONE.

TL* THE CONTACT CALLED ON BEHALF OF THE VEHICLE OWNERS OF A 2013 LINCOLN MKS. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING, THE CONTACT'S PARENTS LEFT THE VEHICLE UNATTENDED AND ENTERED THEIR HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH KEYLESS ENTRY THAT DID NOT CHIME TO ALERT THE DRIVER THAT THE ENGINE REMAINED ACTIVE.

THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED, BUT NO RESULTS WERE AVAILABLE AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. *DT UPDATED 12/03/18*JB

MY STEERING WENT BAD WHERE I COULDN'T STEER - IT WAS LOCKED. I HAD THE RACK & PINION REPLACED AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. FOUND OUT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE STEERING PROBLEM AND LINCOLN DEALERS ARE SAYING THAT IT'S TOO LATE TO COVER BECAUSE I HAVE 86,000 MILES. I SPENT OVER 2200 TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL THEY NEED TO REIMBURSE ME BECAUSE THIS WAS A RECALL! HELP!

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE POWER STEERING TOTALLY FAILED! I HAD TO QUICKLY GET TO AN EXIT AND HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED ON THE BACK OF A FLATBED. I CHECKED THE RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE AND THERE IS AN OUTSTANDING ELECTRONIC STEERING RECALL, BUT SUPPOSEDLY THERE IS SOME WAY THAT LINCOLN/FORD CONNECTS THE VIN TO THE RECALL AND SAID THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED. I DON'T BELIEVE IT. MY VEHICLE IS UNDRIVEABLE. I NEED TO FIND OUT HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN AND HOW I CAN HAVE THE VEHICLE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL OF THE OTHER MODELS THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL OF THE 2013 LINCOLN MKS!!!!
