2010 LINCOLN MKX Complaints

TAKATA RECALL THE AIR BAGS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR 2 YEARS BUT NO REPLACEMENT AIR BAGS ARE AVAILABLE YET. I AM FORCED TO DRIVE A DEATH TRAP.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LINCOLN MKX. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

ENGINE TEMPERATURE SUDDENLY SPIKED AND THE ON-BOARD COMPUTER SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING ON LOCAL HIGHWAY. SPEED ABOUT 45 MPH AND WAS ABLE TO PULL TO SHOULDER. OPENED HOOD AND FOUND THE COOLANT RESERVOIR EMPTY SO ADDED WATER AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE THREE MILES TO HOME. ADDED ADDITIONAL COOLANT BUT SHORTLY THEREAFTER (5 - 7 MILES OF DRIVING) THE ENGINE STARTED TO RUN ROUGH AND ENDED UP HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO THE LINCOLN/FORD DEALERSHIP.THE DEALER REPORTS THAT THE WATER PUMP WHICH IS INTERANAQL HAS FAILED RESULTING IN COOLANT AND DEBRIS ENTERING THE CRANKCASE AND CONTAMINATING THE ENGINE OIL. ON-LINE RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP ESTIMATES THAT THE REPAIR COST WILL BE $3,100.00 BUT THIS IS FOR THE WATER PUMP AND MOTOR OIL ONLY AND DOES NOT ADDRESS ANY ABRASION OR DAMAGE TO THE CAM SHAFT.

VEHICLE STARTED MAKING HUMMING SOUND WHILE ACCELERATING AT LOW SPEED. NOTICED A LEAK OF VERY DARK FLUID THE FOLLOWING DAY. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A LEAKING PTU (POWER TRANSFER UNIT). I'VE LOOKED INTO THIS AND THERE APPEARS TO BE A ISSUE WITH THE DESIGN ON THE SEALS. IT APPEARS TO BE A PREVALENT ISSUE WITH FORD EDGE/LINCOLN MKX THAT HAS NOT BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED/CORRECTED BY FORD. I'VE ATTACHED A LINK SHOWING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND SOME EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE LOSING POWER/ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING. HTTP://GOTACLASSACTION.COM/15796-2/. *TR

TAKADA RECALL I HAVE A 2010 LINCOLN WITH A RECALL SAFETY FOR THE AIRBAGS. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR YOUTUBE IF I SHOULD GET IN AN ACCIDENT I COULD LOSE MY LIFE DUE TO THIS RECALL. I STILL ON THIS CAR AND IT IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE I COULD LOSE MY LIFE I HAVE CALLED ALL THE FORD PLACES AND LINCOLN PLACES EVEN TO DEARBORN MICHIGAN THE LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHEN THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED. I AM STILL MAKING NOTE PAYMENT ON THIS CAR I FEEL THIS IS VERY UNFAIR TO ME AND SOME OF THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS. FEEL THIS IS UNFAIR TO BE FORCED TO DRIVE A CAR THAT HAS A SAFETY RECALL ON IT KNOWING THAT YOU CAN LOSE YOUR LIFE BECAUSE OF NEGLIGENT THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE. I WOULD LIKE TO NO WHEN AND CAN THIS BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE DOES LOSE THEIR LIFE BEHIND THIS

PTU (POWER TRANSFER UNIT) WHICH IS A NONSERVISABLE UNIT FAILS AND HAS BEEN ON NUMEROUS VEHICLES. THIS FAILUR HAS THE POTENTIAL OF CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUE TO IT POSSIBLY LOCKING UP AND CAUSING A VEHICLE LOSE OF CONTROL. I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY AND DIDN'T NOTICE AN ISSUE UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN TO GET OFF WHEN I HEARD A GRINDING NOISE. TRANSMISSION SHOP TOLD ME I WAS LUCKY MINE DIDN'T LOCK UP.
