2013 LINCOLN MKX Complaints

WHILE IN ANY ROAD CONDITION AND NORMAL DRIVING THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN PRESSED GOES VERY CLOSE TO THE FIREWALL FLOOR WHEN BRAKING AN ITS A VERY SOFT BRAKING, ITS VERY HARD TO GAUGE HOW MUCH PRESSER TO APPLY TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. THERE WASN'T ANY ACCIDENT. FW

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT OVER 70 WITH MY WHOLE FAMILY IN THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE SIMPLY STOPPED RESPONDING AND WENT INTO WHAT I HAVE NOW BEEN INFORMED IS LIMP MODE BY THE GRACE OF GOD WE SURVIVED THIS FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE ON ANOTHER INSTANCE AFTER THAT ANOTHER CAR HIT ME THANKFULLY NO DAMAGE, WHILE DOING SOME RESEARCH I SEE THERE IS A SAFETY CAMPAIGN 13NO3 BUT FOR SOME REASON THIS MODEL WAS NOT INCLUDED. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE AND OTHERS LIKE IT HAVE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT IS GOING TO COST SOMEONE THERE LIFE.

CAR WAS IN MOTION AT 65MPH ON A 4 LANE FREEWAY TRAVELING IN LANE 2 OR 3. IT MADE A LOUD THUD AND THE WRENCH ICON APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. AT THE SAME TIME, THE GAS PEDAL NO LONGER PROVIDED ACCELERATION AND THE ONLY THING I COULD DO WAS COAST TO A STOP, WHILE MANEUVERING THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER. AFTER STOPPING I RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT FUNCTIONED PERFECTLY FINE. THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ILLUMINATED. TWO MONTHS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE IN A FORWARD MOTION ON CITY STREETS...MADE A LOUD THUD, THE WRENCH ICON APPEARED. I WAS AT THE WEST SIDE OF A 4 LANE INTERSECTION AND BARELY HAD ENOUGH POWER TO COAST THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND PULL OVER ON THE EAST SIDE. AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF, IT STARTED UP FINE AGAIN. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT NOW

FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT. DOME LIGHT STAYS LIT AND UNABLE TO LOCK DOORS AUTOMATICALLY.. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE DRIVER SIDE BUT NOT PASSENGER SIDE. ALSO THE RECALL HAS MILEAGE LIMITS. IT STARTED ONLY PERIODICALLY IN 2019, BUT NOW IS CONSTANT

IN REGARDS TO MY 2013 LINCOLN MKX, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FREQUENTLY DOES NOT ENGAGE IN PARK --- ABOUT HALF THE TIME. WHEN STATIONARY, THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT LEVER IS PUSHED INTO THE "P" POSITION, BUT THE VEHICLE WARNS VIA A DINGING AND DASH WARNING THAT IT IS NOT IN PARK. STATIONARY LOCATIONS INCLUDE MY GARAGE, WHICH IS LEVEL, AND PUBLIC PARKING LOTS, WHICH ARE TYPICALLY LEVEL IN MY AREA. THERE IS AN EXISTING RECALL FOR THE 2013 LINCOLN MKX (NTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14N393000), WHICH REGARDS A DEFECTIVE "HALF-SHAFT DISENGAGEMENT". IT INCLUDES COMMENT THAT UNTIL REPAIRED, WHEN STOPPED TO ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE OR THE VEHICLE COULD ROLL AWAY. I DO NOT KNOW WHETHER THAT RECALL INVOLVES THE PROBLEM WITH MY LINCOLN. A SEARCH WAS PERFORMED ON YOUR WEBSITE FOR A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE USING ITS VIN, BUT NO RECALL WAS FOUND.

DOOR AJAR WARNING WHILE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR IS CLOSED. WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED, THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT STAYS ON AND THE DOORS NEVER LATCH WHILE DRIVING. WHICH AFFECTS SEVERAL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS SUCH AS, AUTOMATIC DOOR LATCHS, ALARM SYSTEM, COURTESY LIGHTS AND OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 LINCOLN MKX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNDISCLOSED SPEED, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND THE ABS MODULE FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED WHILE DRIVING UP HIS DRIVEWAY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY A DEFECT IN THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO FORD OF OCALA INC (2816 NW PINE AVE, OCALA, FL 34475), AND WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. THE WARRANTY COVERED THE ABS MODULE BUT NOT THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,700.

BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR OR FIREWALL WHEN BRAKING. THE BRAKES SEEMED TO GET BETTER BUT CONDITION RETURNED. THIS BACK AND FORTH HAS HAPPENED TWICE BUT NOW THE BRAKE AREN'T GETTING BETTER. ALL OF THESE BRAKING SITUATIONS ARE HAPPENING ON CITY STREETS HIGHWAYS, TURNING ALL WHILE IN MOTION. LINCOLN MKX 2013. *TR

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE 2 YEARS AGO WITH ONLY 36K MILES. 10 MONTHS AGO I NOTICED ON OCCASION THAT AFTER SHIFTING TO PARK THE VEHICLE WAS NOT RECOGNIZING AND ALERT SAID TO SHIFT TO PARK. ALSO WHILE BRAKING ON HILLS I COULD FEEL PRESSURE BUILDING UP AND PRESSING AGAINST MY FOOT CAUSING ME TO BE FORCED TO PRESS VERY HARD TO STOP,THIS CONTINUED ONLY ON OCCASION UNTIL RECENTLY WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT MY CAR WILL LOOSE POWER AND THE LOW ENGINE PRESSURE LIGHT BEEPS 3 TIMES. AS THIS HAS PROGRESSED MY VEHICLE IS NOW UN DRIVEABLE. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO LINCOLN DEALER IN SPOKANE WA AND WAS TOLD THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS FAILING AND THERE WAS AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPAIR BECAUSE MY VIN # WASN'T SHOWING THAT MY VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN RECALL. PLEASE HELP *TR

AROUND SEPTEMBER 2019, THE BRAKE BOOSTER ON MY LINCOLN MKX BEGAN FAILING, GETTING WORSE AND WORSE QUICKLY. IT GOT TO THE POINT THAT I HAD TO ALMOST STAND WITH TWO FEET ON THE BRAKE TO MAKE THE CAR STOP. (WHICH WAS FRIGHTENING WHEN I WAS TRYING TO STOP THE CAR BEFORE HITTING THE ONE IN FRONT OF ME, EVEN THOUGHT I WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 30-40 MPH). WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE THE PEDAL WOULD SLIGHTLY DEPRESS, THEN HISS AND THEN WITH MY INCREASED PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WOULD DEPRESS FURTHER, SEEMINGLY CLOSE TO THE CAR FLOOR. THE CAR BECAME INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO STOP. MY MECHANIC SAID MY BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED REPLACED AND THAT THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE PART. I PURCHASED THE CAR USED. I CALLED FORD AND GAVE THEM MY VIN NUMBER AND THEY SAID THAT THE BAD PARTS STOPPED BEING USED IN MARCH OF 2013 AND THAT MY CAR WAS PRODUCED IN MAY OF 2013. WELL OBVIOUSLY SINCE I HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM AS THAT WHICH WAS THE SUBJECT OF THE RECALL, THE BAD PART WAS USED IN MY CAR AS WELL. FORD OPENED A CASE (#24559511K4) BUT REFUSED TO COVER THE REPAIR. I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE MY CAR REPAIRED SINCE IT WAS DANGEROUS TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE. THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR AT THE TIME OF REPAIR IN OCTOBER 2019 WAS 110,334. I BELIEVE THE FORD SHOULD REIMBURSE ME FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIR.
