LINCOLN Complaints

I'VE PURCHASED MY 2013 LINCOLN MKT AWD ECOBOOST ON 1-5-2020. TWO DAYS AFTER BUYING IT, I HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON STATED PO420 CATALYST SYSTEM EFFICIENCY BELOW THRESHOLD BANK 1. THE SECOND ROW'S SEATBELT WON'T COME OUT PROPERLY. CAN'T HAVE ANYONE SIT AT THAT SEAT. FOR SOME REASON I AM UNABLE TO USE MY WINDSHIELD WATER NOZZLE (NOT SURE WHAT'S IT CALLED). I'VE BEEN GETTING A MESSAGE STATING POWER STEERING FAULT, I TURN OFF THE CAR THEN TURN IT BACK ON AND IT GOES AWAY. THANK GOD THE STEERING WHEEL FAULT NEVER GAVE ME ISSUES WHILE DRIVING. AS OF LAST WEEK, I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR B/C OF THE POWER STEERING FAULT. NOT TOO HAPPY WITH THIS VEHICLE. I'VE HAD IT LESS THEN A YEAR AND ALREADY HAVING SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 LINCOLN ZEPHYR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JOE MACHENS FORD LOCATED AT 1911 W WORLEY ST, COLUMBIA, MO 65203, (573) 445-4411, WHERE THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V001000 (AIR BAGS). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 162,426.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED OUTSIDE DURING RAIN SHOWERS AND WATER ACCUMULATED INSIDE THE REAR PASSENGER FOOT AREA 1ST AND OVERFLOWED INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER'S FOOT AREA.

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.

2007 LINCOLN MKZ V6. THE WHEEL/RIMS ARE GARBAGE. THEY ARE FALLING APART, CRACKS IN THE METAL, FINISH PEELING, AROUND THE TIRE PIECES OF THE RIM HAS FALLEN OFF. I CAN'T BELIEVE LINCOLN WOULD USE SUCH JUNK. I HAVE TO KEEP CHECKING THE AIR PRESSURE BECAUSE THE WHEELS/RIMS ARE SO TORN UP. I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR TWO WEEKS AGO. LINCOLN NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL ON THESE WHEELS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED BECAUSE OF THEM FALLING APART. THE WELDS ARE BREAKING APART. THESE WHEELS/RIMS ARE DANGEROUS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT'S GRANDMOTHER OWNS A 2017 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL. THE CONTACT STATED THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MILLER FORD LOCATED AT 1596 NJ-38, LUMBERTON, NJ 08048, (609) 261-7836, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LATCH NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AS OF YET. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V077000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V077000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES) REPAIR WAS NOT COMPLETED IN NOVEMBER OF 2019. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 158,780. *DT*JB

THIS LINCOLN MKT HAS GIVEN CONTINUAL PROBLEMS WITH FUEL ISSUES, ENGINE PROBLEMS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CONSTANTLY COMING ON AND TAKING IT BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALER AND THEY CANT EVEN FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE AS TO WHY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. THE VEHICLE HAS FUMES COMING FROM THE PIPES, IT JERKS AND THREATENS TO CUT OFF AND WITH ALL THE REPAIRS DONE AND COMPLAINTS SENT TO THE LINCOLN CORP, THERE IS STILL NO RESOLVE. THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR, BUT WE NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO SHUT OFF OR START SMOKING OR WHEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON. THIS MAKES THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND IT SEEMS TO BE UNREPAIRABLE. ESPECIALLY SINCE EACH TIME WE GET IT BACK FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON. THESE PROBLEMS OCCUR WITH THE VEHICLE IN MOTION. I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO FUNCTION PROPERLY OR NOT AND MOST TIMES, I HAVE MY CHILDREN WITH ME. IT IS REALLY SCARY. *TR

THE WARNING LIGHTS FOR TRACTION CONTROL MALFUNCTION, ABS MALFUNCTION AND BRAKE MALFUNCTION SIMULTANEOUSLY ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH, ALONG WITH WARNING CHIMES, AND THE BRAKES STOPPED FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP WITH BRAKE PEDAL APPLICATION (PEDAL WAS SOFT, FAR TOO EASY TO DEPRESS, BUT INEFFECTIVE). CAR WAS STEERED INTO A RESIDENTIAL LAWN AND EMERGENCY HAND BRAKE APPLIED TO AVOID A COLLISION. *TR

STARTED HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE HEAT ON THE CAR, TOOK IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ACCORDING TO TSB 19-2346 IT IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH THIS MODEL OF VEHICLE AND THEY REFUSE TO PAY FOR REPAIR DUE IT BEING OUT OF WARRANTY. *TR

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER NOR THE DEALER HAD BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.
