2011 LINCOLN MKX Complaints

DOOR LATCH STICKS AND VEHICLE WON'T SENSE THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED. CLEARLY AN ISSUE FOR FORD BASED ON AN INTERNET SEARCH YET NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO HELP. DAUGHTER AT SCHOOL CAN'T GET INTERIOR LIGHTS TO GO OFF AND CAN'T LOCK DOOR BECAUSE THE CAR THINKS DOOR IS OPEN.

NAVIGATION NO LONGER WORKING- THEY ARE REQUIRING ME TO PURCHASE NEW SD MAPPING SYSTEM. THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL- HOW CAN THEY MAKE ME SPEND MORE MONEY ON A NEW MAPPING SYSTEM WHEN THE NAVIGATION IS WORKING? IT'S A WAY TO MAKE ME SPEND UNNECESSARY MONEY. I DO NOT MIND HAVING OUTDATED MAPS. ALSO THE BACKUP CAMERA IS NO LONGER WORKING, IT IS NOT THAT OLD OF A VEHICLE. I HAVE OLDER IPHONES WITH CAMERA'S WORKING.

THE ABS HYDRAULIC UNIT MODULE HAS GONE OUT IN MY VEHICLE. THE MODULE CONTROLS THE ABS BREAKING SYSTEM. AS OF TODAY 10/18/17, THE ABS BREAKS ARE NOT WORKING ON MY VEHICLE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WOULD $1,000 TO REPLACE THE MODULE. LINCOLN WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS OR THEIR VEHICLES AND FIX THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. RECALLS ON THIS SAME MODULE HAVE BEEN DONE ON THE FORD EDGE, WHICH IS THE SAME VEHICLE. HOWEVER, LINCOLN SAYS THAT RECALL WAS VIN SPECIFIC AND DOES NOT APPLY TO THE MKX. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY THE NHTSA.

WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, MY VEHICLE STALLED OUT, POWER WENT OUT, LIGHTS, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK TO RESTART IT. I WAS DRIVING IN A BUSY AREA AT NIGHT, NO HEADLIGHTS, VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, MY CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN DUE TO NO POWER.

DOOR AJAR SENSOR HAS STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY. IT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN IT DOES NOT WORK THE DOOR DOES NOT LOCK AUTOMATICALLY AND WHEN ELECTRIC DOOR LOCK ARE ACTIVATED, THE DOOR UNLOCKS.

EVEN WITH METICULOUS MAINTENANCE MY MKX ENGINE CATASTROPHICALLY FAILED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE OIL AND WATER MIXED AND IT WAS IN NO WAY CAUSED BY US. THEY ARE WANTING ME TO PAY $7000.00 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. WE FOLLOWED MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SERVICE AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE. I BELIEVE LINCOLN SHOULD COVER THIS AS THIS WAS NO FAULT OF US AS THE OWNERS. WE ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS AND PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING TO BEND, OR FROM PRINEVILLE, OR ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND THEN DIED. SHE WAS STRANDED ON THE ROADSIDE WITH NO CELL SERVICE.

THE 8 INCH TOUCH SCREEN HAS GONE BLANK. CAN NOT ACCESS PHONE, AUDIO, TEMP. OR NAVIGATION SCREENS. THIS OCCURED UPON STARTING VEHICLE.

THE DRIVERS DOOR AJAR WARNING IS ACTIVATED EVEN THO THE DOOR IS FULLY CLOSED. I CANNOT LOCK THE DOORS WHILE DRIVING BECAUSE THE SENSOR THINKS THE DOOR IS AJAR. EVEN WHEN I TRY TO LOCK THE DOORS, THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY UNLOCKS ALL DOORS AS SOON AS THE CAR IS IN MOTION.

DOOR DRIVERS SIDE AJAR LATCH ISSUE: EVEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED THE VEHICLE STILL SAYS THE DOOR IS AJAR. THIS HAS BEEN FIXED FOUR TIMES SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR.

DOOR AJAR WARNING - I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH MY DRIVER'S DOOR LATCH AND THE LEFT REAR DOOR LATCH IN THE PAST 4 MONTHS. WHEN THE LEFT REAR DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT CAME ON INTERIOR LIGHTS WOULD STAY ON OR THE SECURITY ALARM WOULD GO OFF AT RANDOM TIMES OF THE DAY OR NIGHT. I REPLACED THE DOOR LATCH PROBLEM SOLVED. THEN THE DOOR AJAR WARNING FOR THE DRIVERS DOOR STARTED COMING ON EARLIER THE MONTH AT RANDOM TIMES. WHEN DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT COMES ON, THE DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK. I CAN TRY TO LOCK THEM AND THEY WILL LOCK AND THEN 2 SECONDS LATER THEY UNLOCK. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS A SECURITY ISSUE. I KNEW THE FIX WAS TO REPLACE THE DOOR LATCH WHICH I DID. THE PROBLEM FOR NOW HAS GONE AWAY. I CANNOT AFFORD TO KEEP REPLACING DOOR LATCHES ON THIS VEHICLE. I CALLED LINCOLN / FORD AND COMPLAINED TO THEM ABOUT IT AND THEY SAID THAT IT IS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT.
