MY MKX HAS STALLED OVER THE YEARS AND THE DEALER SAYS THAT'S NORMAL. WELL, FOR THE FIRST TIME, I STALLED ON A HILL IN A PARKING LOT AND MY STEERING LOCKED AND BRAKES DIDN'T WORK. AS SOON AS I REALIZED I STALLED AND SLAMMED MY BRAKES, TRIED TO STEER AWAY FROM THE CAR BEHIND ME, IT WAS TOO LATE FOR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I SLAMMED INTO A BUSINESS ASSOCIATE'S SUV THAT WAS PARKED AND WE BOTH HAVE ABOUT 3K WORTH OF DAMAGE.

MY 2007 LINCOLN MKX AWD IS MAKING A HOWLING/BUZZING NOISE AS I ACCELERATE PAST ABOUT 35 MPH AND GETS LOUDER AS I ACCELERATE. ALSO AT TIMES AS I'M WAITING TRAFFIC SIGNAL LIGHTS I SOMETIMES SMELL A PROPANE/GAS ODOR. TOOK MY VEHICLE TO 2 REPAIR SHOPS AND BOTH DETERMINED THE NOISE/PROBLEM IS THE POWER TRANSFER UNIT. THE CAUSE OF THE ODOR WAS NOT KNOWN. WORK ON THE PTU IS GOING TO COST BETWEEN $1800 - $2100. BUT THE PART WILL MOST LIKELY BE ON BACK ORDER. SO I'M ASSUMING THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM.. OR A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

2/3/2015 I TOOK MY 2007 LINCOLN MKX IN FOR GAS TANK RECALL. ON NOVEMBER 25,2015 I PICKED MY CAR UP FROM THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED A NEW TANK WAS INSTALLED. NOVEMBER 27TH I FILLED MY TANK WITH GAS AND WENT APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES BEFORE MY CAR SHUT DOWN WHILE PROCEEDING TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT. I TURNED THE IGNITION AND STARTED THE CAR AND DROVE 1 MILE FURTHER TO MY DESTINATION AT A MALL. MY FAMILY EXITED THE CAR AND NOTICED A PERFUSE GAS SMELL COMING FROM THE RIGHT SIDE TOWARDS THE REAR. MY HUSBAND LOOKED UNDER THE CAR AND NOTICED GAS LEAKING. EITHER THE RECALLED TANK WAS NOT REPLACED BY THE DEALER OR THE NEW TANK IS ALREADY LEAKING. THE LEAK IS COMING FROM THE SEAM OF THE FUEL TANK. WHILE THIS IS THE SHORT STORY IT DOES NOT MENTION THE ALL THE DAMAGE OCCURRED TO MY CAR BY SITTING FOR 10 MONTHS AND BEING EXPOSED TO THE HARSH ELEMENTS OF THE SUN, RAIN, SNOW AND THE FACT SOMEONE RAN INTO IT WHILE IN THE DEALERS PROCESSION. MY HEADLIGHTS ARE FADED, PAINT FADED, BRAKES SQUEAL, DEAD BATTERY AND FLAT TIRES. LET'S NOT FORGET IT STILL LEAKS GAS.
