2015 LINCOLN MKZ Complaints

IN SUDDEN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS, WHEN ONES REACTION TO HITTING THE HORN TO GET THE OTHER DRIVERS ATTENTION, THE HORN DOES NOT WORK. AFTERWARDS I WOULD TRY THE HORN IN A NON-EMERGENCY SITUATION WHEN ONE HAS TIME TO LOOK, THINK AND PRESS THE HORN BOTTON, LOWER MIDDLE CENTER THE HORN DOES WORK. WITH TWO HANDS ON THE STEERING WHEEL AT 10 O'CLOCK AND 2 O'CLOCK, ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO USE THEIR THUMBS TO APPLY THE HORN, BUT THAT TAKES WAY TOO MUCH PRESSURE. THE SIDE HORN ACTIVATOR NEEDS TO BE MUCH MORE SENSITIVE. ACCIDENTS, INJURIES AND DEATHS COULD BE AVOIDED IF THE SIDE HORN ACTIVATOR IS MUCH MORE SENSITIVE.

THIS CAR BECOMES UNCONTROLLABLE ON A SNOW ROAD. IT CAN'T MAKE A TURN WHEN YOU NEED IT. IT GOES VERY UNSTABLE ON A STRAIGHT ROAD. I WASN'T ABLE TO STOP ON A RED LIGHT , AND I WASN'T ABLE TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, TWICE ON ONE 12 MILES TRIP. FIRST I DROVE WITH LITTLE SPEED NO MORE THAN 25 MILES AN HOUR, AFTER, ON SECOND INTERSECTION I STAYED ON A RED LIGHT AND STARTED MY TURNING FROM 0 SPEED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 LINCOLN MKZ. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE PANORAMIC MOON ROOF SHATTERED WITH A LOUD NOISE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SEVERAL PIECES FLEW OFF THE VEHICLE, BUT CAUSED NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LINCOLN OF TROY (1950 W MAPLE RD, TROY, MI 48084, (248) 643-6600), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE DEALER INFORMED HIM THAT AN OBJECT COULD HAVE STRUCK THE PANORAMIC MOON ROOF. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO HIS AUTO INSURANCE COMPANY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

SOME TIMES THE REAR BACK-UP CAMERA DASH BOARD DISPLAY WILL TURN OFF WHILE MANEUVERING IN REVERSE. SOMETIMES IT WILL TURN OFF TO ANSWER THE PHONE, WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING IN REVERSE. AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL FLICKER THEN RETURN TO THE HOME PAGE. THE DEALER SAYS ITS WORKING NORMALLY AND THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER ITS HAPPENED AT LEAST A HALF DOZEN TIMES SINCE I'VE OWNED THE CAR, IN THE PAST 2 YRS. THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING IN REVERSE USUALLY WHEN BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE WITH PARKED CARS ON EITHER SIDE OF ME. THE CAR HAS A SONY INFORMATION CENTER AND BACK-UP CAMERA AND CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT AND SPEED SENSING RADAR. OTHER THEN THAT THE CAR DRIVES IMPECCABLY.

WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT SUDDENLY GOES ON AT THE SAME TIME THE AIR CONDITIONING GOES OFF AND WILL NOT GO BACK ON. SIMULTANEOUSLY THE RADIO AND POWER WINDOW AND POWER SEATS AND POWER MIRROR STOP WORKING. TO DATE THIS HAS HAPPEN APPROXIMATELY EIGHT TIMES.

4 TIMES SINCE CAR WAS BRAND NEW I HAVE HAD TO CONTACT DEALER AND CORPORATE LINCOLN ABOUT THE SAME VERY DANGEROUS REOCCURRING PROBLEM. THEY CONTINUE TO NOT BE ABLE TO FIX. THE PROBLEM HAPPENING,AND AGAIN TODAY IS THAT THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT GOES ON AND THE AIR CONDITIONING STOPS WORKING AND THE POWER WINDOWS WON'T OPEN ON PASSENGER SIDE AND THE RADIO WON'T GO ON AND POWER DRIVERS SEAT MOVE BACK AND FORTH ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING!!!! PROBLEMS HAPPEN BOTH WHILE DRIVING AND IN STATIONARY POSITION. THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE APPROXIMATELY JULY 2015 THROUGH TODAY AUGUST 2017. DEALER AND LINCOLN ARE BECOMING LESS AND LESS AMICABLE IN HELPING US GET THE CAR REPAIRED AND PROVIDE LOANER VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH IT IS UNDER FULL WARRANTY WITH ONLY 23000 MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 LINCOLN MKZ. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL THE DOORS TOOK NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO OPEN.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURE WAS NORMAL. THE CONTACTED STATED THAT THE ISSUE WAS NOT LISTED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL.

CAR HAS OVER 16K MILES . TOWED 3X TO DEALERSHIP AT LINCOLN REPAIR SHOP IN HENDERSON NV. PER LINCOLN MECHANIC, THIS IS A FLAW ON THIS CAR AND THAT THE LINCOLN ENGINEERS ARE NOT ABLE TO OFFER A FIX OR A SOLUTION AS THE OVERHEATING IS BEING BLAMED TO LAS VEGAS SUMMER TEMP OVER 110 DEGREES.THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. LINCOLN OFFERED AN EXTENDED 4 YEAR WARRANTY. LINCOLN DOES NOT WANT TO BRING THE CAR BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP AFTER THE LAST INCIDENT JULY 31, 2017. I WAS ADVISED THAT THERE IS NO FIX AND THERE IS NOTHING THE LINCOLN ENGINEERS CAN OFFER , AN DTHAT THE BATTERY WILL DIE AND STALL FROM HIGH VEGAS HEAT.
