2015 LINCOLN MKX Complaints

Rear camera can’t see behind me very well the dealership I but the car changed the camera and the screen in the car and the problem is still here it work when it cold outside but when got warm it stop working again

Rear back up camera turns blank/ black intermittently when going in reverse. Have seen that multiple other vehicles are being recalled for this issue but not my particular car even tho other 2015 Lincoln MKX are included in recall. Noticed problem about 6 months ago. Often camera screen blank when I need it the most . Have called Ford/ Lincoln twice and told vehicle has no recalls. This problem is definitely a safety issue so no car or person gets hit .

Vehicle loses power, steering and braking without warning. Orange wrench alert illuminates. Car must be shut off and restarted. Very dangerous condition. Several other complaints online. This has happened twice, luckily at low speeds and little traffic.

A/C and Heater control; A/C blows cool on passenger side and blows hot on driver side

Warning light message: Vehicle transmission is not in Park Google search found many same complaints for older Lincolns. When repaired, would reoccur.

TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK BUT IT IS IN PARK. DRIVERS DOOR AJAR BUT DOOR IS SHUT. THESE SHOW UP IN THE DASH INFORMATION CENTER. GETTIN WORSE WITH TIME. MKX ONLY HAS 37,500 MILES. 2015 MKX. FEAR SAFETY .

WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 90 A APPROX 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE STARTED SLOWING DOWN. I LOOKED AT THE SPEEDOMETER AND IT READ 0. SECONDS LATER THE DASH POWER FLASHED AND WENT COMPLETELY DARK. I'M HAD ABSOLUTELY NO POWER AT 60MPH ON AN INTERSTATE. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO CRUISE ALONG AT MAKE IT TO THE NEXT EXIT AND STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ONCE STOPPED, I TOOK GEAR OUT OF DRIVE AND PUT IT IN PARK. I PUSH THE START BUTTON AND IT STARTED UP. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME BUT I WAS COMPLETELY TERRIFIED THAT IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. SOON AS I MADE IT HOME, I BEGAN RESEARCHING LINCOLN MKX TO SEE IF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE. TO MY HORROR, MANY LINCOLN MKX OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS NO RECALLS LISTED ON MY VIN. THIS VEHICLE IS A DEATH TRAP AND LINCOLN NEED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IMMEDIATELY. PEOPLE HAVE DIED FROM THIS CRITICAL MALFUNCTION AND IF NOT SOMEONE'S DEATH WILL BE CAUSED. THIS VEHICLE IS A DEATH TRAP.

CAR STALLS AND LOOSES POWER IN 5-10 SECONDS WHILE DRIVING. ONCE STOPPED, THE CAR WILL RESTART AND DRIVE. THE PROBLEM INDICATOR "YELLOW WRENCH" TELLS THE DEALERSHIP NOTHING RELATING TO THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS LIFE THREATENING BECAUSE IT OFTEN HAPPENS WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED (INTERSTATES) IN ENVIRONMENTS WITH LOTS OF TRAFFIC. SINCE THE CAR BEGINS IMMEDIATE DECELERATION, GETTING TO SAFETY WITHOUT GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, IS FRIGHTENING AT BEST. ON WED, 4/17/19, I WAS TRAVELING ON I-40, 5 LANES OF TRAFFIC AT 5:05 P.M. (I WAS IN THE LEFTMOST LANE) AND MY CAR STALLED. BY THE TIME I GOT TO THE 2ND LANE FROM THE SHOULDER, I HAD ALMOST BEEN HIT BY A SPEEDING CAR AND AN 18-WHEELER. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET ANY MOMENTUM TO GET OFF THE ROAD QUICKLY BECAUSE THE CAR HAD NO POWER. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM!!! I FOUND MANY REPORTS OF THE SAME THING OCCURRING IN LINCOLN MKX'S (PREDOMINANTLY 2016'S) THAT RELATE TO A DEFECTIVE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY, NEED FOR UPDATED SOFTWARE, AND/OR THE PURGE BODY. LINCOLN INDICATES THEY CANNOT/WILL NOT FIX THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET A MAINTENANCE CODE TO CONFIRM THE DIAGNOSIS. THIS SITUATION COULD EASILY COST LIVES UNNECESSARILY!! MY REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE ARE NOT BEING TAKEN SERIOUSLY (DEALERSHIP & LINCOLN FORD MOTOR COMPANY). SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL ASSOCIATED TO MY VIN, THEY ATTEST THERE IS NO ISSUE UNLESS I CAN PROVIDE IT. I CAN'T PROVE IT BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. THEY HAVE KEPT MY CAR FOR A WEEK AND DRIVE BUT COULDN'T REPLICATE. THERE NEEDS TO SOMETHING MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE THAT IS MANDATED TO BE DONE BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST. IT IS MY HOPE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ASSIST. THANK YOU.

KEEP GETTING "TRANSMISSION IS NOT IN PARK" DOES NOT HAPPEN EACH TIME I PUT IT IN PARK BUT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM ONLY HAVE 26,000 MILES ON IT.

SHIFT CAR INTO "PARK" AND THE CAR IS CLEARLY IN PARK BUT ON THE DASH THE "P" DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHICH CAUSES AN ERROR MESSAGE OF "TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK" WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR OFF. IF YOU TURN THE CAR OFF WHILE THE ERROR MESSAGE IS SHOWING, ALL AUXILIARY COMPONENTS (HEAT, RADIO, ETC) STAY ON AND YOUR BATTERY GOES DEAD. OCCURS NEARLY EVERY DAY, EACH TIME THE VEHICLE IS PUT INTO "PARK".
