2012 LINCOLN MKX Complaints

WHEN SHIFTING INTO "PARK" THERE IS A WARNING THAT APPEARS ON THE DASH AS "SHIFT TO PARK". THE "P" INDICATOR LIGHT WILL NOT ILLUMINATE AND DOES NOT ENGAGE SAFETY FEATURES ASSOCIATED WITH PLACING THE VEHICLE IN "PARK". THIS ALSO CAUSES THE DISPLAY TO STAY ON AND DRAINS THE BATTERY IF NOT CORRECTED. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ADDRESSED ON TSB 15-0047 BUT SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL AS IT COULD LEAD TO A STRANDED MOTORIST.

MASTER CYLINDER FAILED AT 68K MILES 7/2017, PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR BUT CAR DID STOP.11/2017 ABS PUMP LEAKED, CAUSING CAR TO LOSE BRAKE FLUID. WAS CLOSE TO DEALERSHIP, WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IN WITH LIMITED BRAKING CAPACITY.

DRIVER SIDE DOOR AJAR SENSOR IS DEFECTIVE WHICH CAUSES WARNING LIGHT ON DASH TO LIGHT, SHIFT INTO PARK LIGHT TO COME ON AND INTERIOR LIGHTS TO STAY ON. I COULD LIVE WITH THE ANNOYANCE OF THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT AND SHIFT TO PARK LIGHT TO COME ON BUT THE INTERIOR LIGHTS STAYING ON RUNS THE BATTERY DOWN AND COULD STRAND MY WIFE AND I ON THE ROAD. THE FORD DEALER IS WELL AWARE OF THIS ONGOING DEFECT IN NEARLY ALL THEIR SUVS. RATHER THAN FIXING THE PROBLEM (WELL KNOWN PROBLEM AT THE FORD COMPANY) THEY CHARGE $600.00 TO $1200.00 TO REPLACE THE SENSOR AT THE DEALERSHIPS. THE IDEA THAT THEY (FORD) ARE CONTINUING TO KNOWINGLY SELL VERY EXPENSIVE CARS WITH DEFECTIVE PARTS IS A TERRIBLE DISSERVICE TO THE PUBLIC. THIS ISSUE OCCURS EVERY TIME I OPEN AND SHUT THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR.

2012 LINCOLN MKX. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DOOR WARNING LIGHT PROBLEMS. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WARNING LIGHT FAILED. UPDATED 08/31/2017*JS

BLIND SPOT SENSOR FAILURE - IN HEAVY RAIN DRIVING I GET A DASH DISPLAY INFORMING ME THE BLIND SPOT FEATURE IS NOT WORKING. REF. TO MANUAL. BOTH SIDE VIEW MIRROR YELLOW LITES STAY ON. OF ALL TIMES I WANT MY BLIND SPOT OPTION NOT WORKING. MUMS THE WORD DEALER RESPONSE. SAY THIS IS DANGEROUS. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

LINCOLN MKZ 2012 VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG HAS BEEN RECALLED AND I WANT THE NEW AIRBAG TO BE DELIVERED TO THE LINCOLN DEALER VIC BAILY FORD, 501 E. DANIEL MORGAN AVE. SPARTANBURG SC 29302 SO THEY CAN INSTALL IT.

STOPED AT A RED LIGHT ON A SLIGHT GRADE. CAR SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY W/LOSS OF STEERING & BRAKES. DRIFTED BACKWARD UNTIL I PUSHED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. LOCAL DEALER RAN DIANOSTICS, NOTHING FOUND LINCOLN PROVIDED ZERO HELP IN RESOULVING THE PROBLEM.

THE DRIVER DOOR LATCH WOULD SAY ITS TILL OPEN WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. HAD TO REPAIR IT TWICE AT THE DEALER. NOW THE RIGHT REAR DOOR HAS THE SAME ISSUE.

DRIVETRAIN WARNING LIGHT (WRENCH) ILLUMINATEDWHILE DRIVING WITH ASSOCIATED LIMP MODE AND ROUGH RUNNING ENGINE. FORD REPAIR STATED THROTTLE BODY NEEDED REPLACING , NOT COVERED UNDER DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY, AND COMMON ITEM FAILURE ON MKX'S. THIS IS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION REPLACEMENT ITEM ON PREVIOUS YEARS OF THE MKX BUT NOT FOR 2012. OBVIOUS THAT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. 65,000 MILES ON VEHICLE AND ALL MAINTENANCE COMPLETED AT DEALERSHIP.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR AJAR LITE STAYS ON EVEN WITH THE DOOR CLOSED. THIS IS A INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. WAS FIXED BY THE DEALER ON 07/3/2014 NOW IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN.
