2013 LINCOLN MKX Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 LINCOLN MKX. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, EXHAUST FUMES ENTERED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVEN TIMES FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S UNDERCARRIAGE WAS COATED WITH A SEALANT; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 0.

VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT, AT TIMES, REMAINS ON WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED WHICH AFFECTS SEVERAL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS SUCH AS, AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS, ALARM SYSTEM, COURTESY LIGHTS AND OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. THE DOOR HAS TO BE SLAMMED SHUT SEVERAL TIMES TO MAKE THE WARNING LIGHT GO OFF AND MAKE THE INOPERABLE COMPONENTS OPERABLE. THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE A FAULTY DOOR LOCK SWITCH WHICH IS QUITE COMMON IN SEVERAL FORD/LINCOLN VEHICLES. A RECALL OF THESE DOOR LOCK SWITCHES SHOULD BE ENTERTAINED.

WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED, THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON AND THE DOORS NEVER LOCK WHILE DRIVING. ALSO THE DOOR CAN BE CLOSED AND THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL NOT BE ON BUT AT ANY MOMENT THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT WILL COME ON CAUSING THE FACTORY ALARM TO GO OFF AT ANY TIME, DAY OR NIGHT. IT HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE SINCE 2013.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 LINCOLN MKX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS ISSUE WHEN USING THE CRUISE CONTROL AT ANY SPEED. WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON, AND THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING ON A DOWNHILL SLOPE, THERE IS A NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD WHILE IT IS TRYING TO MAINTAIN THE SPEED. THE SOUND IS SOMETHING LIKE A HUMMING/GRINDING/TICKING NOISE. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE TECHNICIANS GO FOR A DRIVE WITH ME TO TRY DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE AND THEY HAVE ALL SAID THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE. HOWEVER, TO DATE, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT AND THE LAST TECHNICIAN SAID IT MUST BE A NORMAL NOISE, EVEN THOUGH NO OTHER LINCOLN I HAVE TEST DROVE CAN RECREATE THE NOISE.

THE ELECTRONIC KEYS FOR THE CAR ARE WAY TOO SENSITIVE. THEY CAN BE IN A PURSE OR BACKPACK AND THE BUTTONS CAN BE PRESSED DOWN. THEY ARE ALSO EASILY PRESSED DOWN IF YOU HAVE THEM IN YOUR POCKET WITH ANOTHER ITEM. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WE HAVE WALKED OUT TO OUR CAR AND HAD THE WINDOWS ALL DOWN, THE SUN ROOF OPEN AND OR THE TAILGATE UP. WE FREQUENTLY WILL SET OFF THE ALARM. ONE TIME IT HAD STARTED RAINING HEAVILY AND THE WINDOWS HAD GOTTEN ROLLED DOWN. CONSEQUENTLY THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR WAS SOAKED. WE HAVE HAD OTHER CARS THAT HAD SIMILAR KEYS BUT HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. *TR
