2007 LINCOLN MKX Complaints

WHEN IN TRAFFIC, I SPEED UP AND FELT LIKE I WAS REAR ENDED AND IT DID THIS ABOUT 5 TIMES AND THEN I CANT GET IT TO DO IT AGAIN.

TAKATA RECALL WE WERE NOTIFIED OF RECALL 6/2016. WE HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH OUR LOCAL LINCOLN DEALER AS WELL AS LINCOLN CUSTOMER SERVICE WITH NO ONE KNOWING WHEN THE RECALLED AIRBAG WILL BE REPLACED. OUR CAR INSURANCE MADE COPY OF RECALL LETTER, PUT IT IN OUR FILE AND SAID NO PASSENGER CAN RIDE IN FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. HUSBAND DRIVES CAR, WIFE SITS IN BACK SEAT, IF WIFE TAKES FRIEND TO LUNCH FRIEND SITS IN BACK SEAT, ETC. IT HAS BEEN 15 MONTHS SINCE RECALL WITH NO INFORMATION PROVIDED.

THIS IS MY PARENT'S VEHICLE (2007 LINCOLN MKX) AND INFORMATION IS BEING ENTERED ON THEIR BEHALF. WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THERE WAS A "POP" WHICH MADE THE DRIVER THINK SHE MAY HAVE RUN OVER SOMETHING, WHICH SHE DID NOT. DRIVER SLOWED AND VEHICLE THEN STARTED VIBRATING & HESITATING. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 45 MPH (SPEED LIMIT INCREASED TO 70 MPH ON HWY AND VEHICLE SPEED COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF OTHER DRIVERS WERE NOT AWARE OF A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE). VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER NEXT DAY AND OWNERS WERE TOLD COILS WERE BURNED OUT AND COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS AFFECTED. DEALER ALSO STATED THAT CATALYTIC CONVERTER MAY HAVE BEEN AFFECTED IF VEHICLE HAD CONTINUED TO BE DRIVEN. COST TO REPAIR ESTIMATED AT $2400.00. MILEAGE AT TIME OF INCIDENT WAS A LITTLE OVER 66,000 ORIGINAL MILES. WE ARE SEEING OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF COILS BURNING OUT AND COMPUTER PROBLEMS FOR THIS MODEL AND FEEL LINCOLN SHOULD INVESTIGATE THIS IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO. WE ALSO FEEL THE FULL BURDEN OF REPAIRS SHOULD NOT BE ON THE OWNER AS THIS SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO SEVERAL VEHICLES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LINCOLN MKX. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND HESITATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (HEMSTEAD FORD/LINCOLN LOCATED IN HEMSTEAD, NEW YORK) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE NUMBER ONE INJECTOR WAS MISFIRING AND THE CONNECTOR WIRE WAS REPLACED. AFTER RETRIEVING THE VEHICLE, THE FAILURE SUDDENLY RECURRED BEFORE THE ENGINE STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE NUMBER SIX COIL, SPARK PLUG, AND THE MAIN COMPUTER PROCESSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 174,000.

TAKATA RECALL WHAT HAPPENS NOW THAT TAKATA HAS DECLARED BANKRUPTCY? I HAVE BEEN WAITING OVER ONE YEAR SINCE NOTIFICATION (LETTER).

MY 2007 LINCOLN MKX IS SUDDENLY DECELERATING AND STOPPING OR FREEZING UP WHILE DRIVING. THE PROBLEM STARTED AFTER PREMIER FORD LINCOLN SERVICE REPAIRED POWER BRAKES BOOSTER. I MADE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO CAR MAKER AND REPAIRS SHOP. PREMIER SHOP APPEAR UNSURE OF PROBLEM AND OFFERED EXPENSIVE SOLUTIONS TO FORCE NEW CAR PURCHASE. I BELIEVE LINCOLN IS AWARE OF PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO ISSUE RECALL.

MY SUNROOF FLEW OFF WHILE ENTER ONTO THE HIGHWAY IT HIT STRUCK GUARDRAIL AND SHATTERED INTO A MILLION PIECES.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED NOTICE IN JUNE 2016 AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED A FIX TO THE AIRBAG PROBLEM. THE LINCOLN GARAGE IN NEWPORT NEWS SAYS THEY CAN DO NOTHING BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE PART. I AM CONCERNED AND WOULD LIKE TO GET THE AIRBAG FIXED BECAUSE WE HAVE A DOWN SYNDROME GRANDDAUGHTER IN THE FAMILY.
