The contact owns a 2011 Lincoln MKX. The contact stated that while the vehicle was stopped at a traffic light, upon shifting the gear shifter into drive, the vehicle started reversing independently.

The brakes suddenly became very difficult to depress to make the vehicle come to a stop. Emergency repair was necessary, as driving to the dealer was unsafe. Brake booster was filled with fluid. The car then had to be towed to Dealer, where repair required replacement of Brake Booster, Master cylinder, and Booster vacuum hoses. There are recalls for this same make, model and year. Though my VIN does not come up in those vehicles covered by the recall, it is the EXACT same problem.

My dash touchscreen display became inoperable, no radio, no camera, no NOTHING My wiper blades come on by themselves and won't allow me to shut them off. The headlights remain on in the auto position... they won't shut off. Warning Lights on the dash comes on at times (lights up with lots of warnings) I'm no auto professional, but I think my issues are linked. I also, see that years ago there was a body control module recall that mentioned electrical shorts that could possibly cause a vehicle fire. OMG, I believe there's an electrical problem and I am hoping that the recall would cover these issues.

Left front drivers door flies open while driving. Door has already been repaired twice by dealers and problem keeps returning.

We had to replace the brake booster. Doing research online I saw that other Lincoln models in the same manufacturing year. A lot had recalls for the brake booster. Our mechanic suggested that we file a complaint with you because the recall should have covered all the Lincoln’s. Thank you

Brake pedal faded while in traffic. Was able to steer around other cars, got car to repair shop. Originally couldn't replicate issue. After attempting to drive car mechanic Was able to find problem. Diagnostic tests said master cylinder was bad. Replaced same and still had fading pedal. Diagnosed as hydraulic control unit (abs braking). Had vehicle towed to Ford Dealership for repairs. Replaced HCU no better. Then replaced flex lines at wheels, no better. Finally replaced master cylinder again, and finally fixed braking problems.

Car just went from complete cool to over heating and engine light to flash. Checked to make sure I had fluids. All full. While I had car turned off turned it back on after 15 minutes and car went straight to overheating again. Had a garage look at my car, there’s a 3 cylinder misfire on just the one side of the engine. They agree and don’t understand why this happened or how.
