2011 LINCOLN MKX Complaints

THE REAR CAMERA WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. AT TIMES THE VIEW IS UPSIDE DOWN OR RIGHT SIDE UP OR BLACK.

THE BRAKE BOOSTER ON MY VEHICLE WENT OUT AND IT CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS WHERE I FELT LIKE I WASN'T GOING TO BE ABLE TO STOP IN TIME BEFORE WE REALIZED WHAT WAS WRONG. AN EXTENDED WARRANTY IS NOT SUFFICIENT - NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. I PAID $900 TO HAVE THIS REPAIR MADE BECAUSE I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF AN EXTENDED WARRANTY.

I'M EXPERIENCING SOME LINKAGE OF FLUID FROM UNDERNEATH MY CAR THAT HAS TO DO WITH MY FRONT END AND I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAN'T FIX IT BUT IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THE COST IS WAY TO MUCH. PLEASE HELP! AND THERE IS NO GIVEN REASON WHY!

HAVE OWNED THIS 2011 LINCOLN MKX AWD APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR. DURING THAT TIME I RECALL ABOUT 4 TIMES DURING THIS PERIOD, WHEN GOING FROM A COASTING DOWN THE HILL MODE ON SURFACE STREETS, TO PLACING FOOT GENTLY ON GAS PEDAL AS LEVELING OUT AND OR STARTING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE, A LOUD, JERKING SLAM HAS BEEN HEARD AND FELT. ENOUGH EACH TIME THAT I THOUGHT I HAD BEEN RAMMED FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER CAR ONLY TO FIND THERE WAS NO CAR BEHIND ME. THE CAR WOULD THEN CONTINUE ON AS IF NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. THE MOST RECENT TIME I ENCOUNTERED THE "SLAM" WAS THE EVENING OF WEDNEDDAY 4/24/19. THIS WAS THE SAME SITUATION AS PREVIOUSLY NOTED, WHEN GOING FROM A COASTING MODE TO DRIVING WITH FOOT LIGHTLY ON ACCELERATOR, A LOUD SLAMMING NOISE WAS HEARD AND FELT. LAST FRIDAY, 4/26/2019 WHEN DRIVING ON A 35 MPH ZONE, IT SOUNDED AS IF SOMETHING HAD GOTTEN STUCK UNDER THE CAR, SOUNDING LIKE A DRAGGING BRANCH, OR A DRAGGING BRAKE CALIPER. WE CHECKED UNDER THE CAR AND LOOKED AT BRAKES. BACKED CAR UP AND HEARD A FAINT METAL SOUND, THEN DROVE FORWARD AND HEARD THE DRAGGING SOUND AGAIN. RATHER THAN RISK DRIVING THE CAR FURTHER, HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A A PROBLEM WITH THE POWER TAKE OFF/TRANSFER CASE. IT WILL HAVE TO BE REPAIRED/REPLACED AS A HIGH COST.

THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAILED THROTTLE BODY, WITH TROUBLE CODES P2111 PRESENT IN THE ON-BOARD COMPUTER SYSTEM, INDICATING THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE ACTUATOR CONTROL SYSTEM WAS STUCK OPEN AND CLOSED, RESPECTIVELY.

WATER PUMP FAILURE FILLING MOTOR WITH COOLANT $2500 REPAIR WITH NO GUARANTEE THE MOTOR IS NOT PERMANENTLY DAMAGED. HAS 112000 MILES AND JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING IT WHEN THE SUV STARTED MISSING AND SHE HAD TO PULL OVER STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

TRANSMISSION ISSUES. SHIFTS HARD. ALREADY SPENT 2500 TO FIX THE TRANSFER CASE. WE'VE HEARD TONS OF PEOPLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

POWER BOOST ON BRAKES FAILS INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN THE POWER BOOST GOES OUT, THE CAR EITHER FAILS TO STOP, OR IF ALREADY STOPPED, THEN JUMPS FORWARD UNTIL THE DRIVER STOMPS THE BRAKE TO THE FLOOR TO STOP. IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED ON MY VEHICLE AND WAS JUST REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP FOR NEARLY $900 DOLLARS. THIS IS THE 2ND MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE I HAVE HAD WITH THIS VEHICLE BECAUSE THE THROTTLE BODY HAD AN ISSUE THAT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING. THAT WAS REPLACED AT NO COST BUT I HAD TO DO MY OWN RESEARCH FOR THE REPAIR AND THAT ISSUE COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES OR DEATH. BECAUSE LINCOLN DETERMINED THAT MY PARTICULAR VIN IS NOT ELIGIBLE THEN THE COST IS ON ME, AGAIN A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED INJURY AND DEATH WHEN THE BRAKES BARELY STOPPED. I KNOW I CANNOT RECOVER MONEY FOR OWN REPAIR BUT I FEEL FORD/LINCOLN SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH MAKING THEIR OWN DETERMINATIONS OF WHAT VEHICLES SHOULD BE COVERED WHEN THEY ARE AT FAULT FOR BUILDING A POOR. SUBSTANDARD PRODUCT. I DO NOT WANT OTHER OWNERS TO BE RAILROADED BY THIS POLICY.

SWOLLEN LUG NUTS. CANNOT PLACE SOCKET WRENCH ON LUG NUT TO REMOVE TIRE PER FORD DEALER. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN FOR TIRE ROTATION AT FORD DEALERSHIP. WILL CAUSE ISSUE WITH FLAT TIRE ON THE ROAD IF UNABLE TO CHANGE FLAT TIRE DUE TO SWOLLEN LUG NUTS. SHOW LOW FORD IN SHOW LOW ARIZONA IS THE DEALER.
