LINCOLN Complaints

FACTORY CHROME PAINTED WHEELS PEELING CAUSED TIRE BLOWOUT ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CHROME SEPARATES FROM THE ALUMINUM WHEEL AND THE TIRE STARTS TO LOSE AIR OR IN MY CASE BLOW OUT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY RISK AND THERE'S NOT ANYTHING I'M ABLE TO DO. THIS IS HAPPENING WITH MANY OTHER LINCOLN VEHICLES THAT HAVE CHROME PAINTED WHEELS FROM 2007 TO 2014. LINCOLN HAS NO ANSWERS FOR ME AND SUGGEST I ORDER FACTORY WHEELS. NEW FACTORY WHEELS WILL JUST START PEELING AGAIN.

MY LINCOLN MKC 2015, IS USING TO MUCH GAS IS THERE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE, I DRIVE FROM FORT WAYNE, IN TO DETROIT, MI I USES 3/4 TANK OF GAS. I SHOULD ONLY USE 1/2 RANK OF GAS. PLEASE HELP

PURCHASED VEHICLE USED WITH 103,000 MILES IN AUGUST 2020. FROM THE START THE CAR DID NOT FEEL RIGHT. I WAS HEARING A LIGHT KNOCKING NOISE GOING OVER UNEVEN ROADS. THE WHEEL FELT SLIGHTLY UNSTEADY BROUGHT TO 2 MECHANICS AND NEITHER COULD DETERMINE A PROBLEM. NOW 6 MONTHS LATER I HAVE GOTTEN 2 WHEEL ALIGNMENTS, GOING ON MY THIRD. BRAND NEW TIRES IN NOVEMBER ARE ALMOST DESTROYED. AT THIS TIME I AM TERRIFIED THE CAR WILL LOOSE STEERING FUNCTION. THE SUSPENSION FEELS HORRIBLE, CAR HAS VERY LOOSE FEELING WHEN TURNING OR GOING ON UNEVEN ROADS. KNOCKING NOISE IS STILL PRESENT BUT NOW WITH A GRINDING NOISE WHILE GOING UNDER 30 TURNING EITHER DIRECTION, REVERSE, FORWARD DOESN'T MATTER. WHILE DRIVING THE WHEEL FEELS LIKE IT HAS NO CONTROL AT TIMES. EVERYTHING IS HEARD AND FELT IN THE FRONT END.

ON FEBRUARY 11, 2020 MY 2015 LINCOLN MKC HAD BEEN SITTING STATIONARY IN MY GARAGE FOR 26 HOURS WHEN THE ENGINE SPONTANEOUSLY CAUGHT FIRE. I OPENED MY GARAGE, SMOKE WAS POURING OUT AND THERE WERE FLAMES COMING OUT OF THE HOOD AT THE WINDSHIELD LINE. THE CAR HAD JUST TURNED 40,000MILES, WAS CERTIFIED PREOWNED, SERVICED AT LINCOLN DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. AFTER THE FIRE FIGHTERS LEFT, THE BATTERY CONTINUED TO SMOKE UNTIL A WIRE WAS DISENGAGED.

EXITED OFF FREEWAY BRAKE PEDAL POPPED AND WENT ALL THE TO THE FLOOR. I HAD NO BRAKES! RIGHT FRONT BRAKE LINE SPLIT, LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID AND LOSS OF BRAKES!!! THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED 3 MINUTES SOONER, I WOULD HAVE BEEN GOING 70-80 MPH. THIS SHOULD BE UNDER A RECALL!

THE PTU (POWER TRANSFER UNIT) IS CAUSING ENGINE LIGHT TO FLASH AND LOSS OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING. TRANSMISSION SPUTTERS AND SEEMS TO BUCK AS IF NOT FINDING THE GEAR (ALMOST ALWAYS AROUND 2ND GEAR).

I AM WRITING YOU BECAUSE OF MY CONCERN WITH THE 2019 LINCOLN NAUTILUS SUV. I HAVE LEASED THIS CAR FROM LANDMARK LINCOLN IN ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO. I HAD A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE ON FRIDAY NIGHT, DECEMBER 20, 2019. I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY THROUGH A PARKING LOT IN A COMMERCIAL AREA WHEN MY CAR WENT DEAD. NO LIGHTS, NO POWER ' EVERYTHING INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE CAR WAS DARK. I WAS BLOCKING CARS PARKED PERPENDICULAR TO WHERE I WAS STUCK. THEY COULDN'T GET OUT AS I WAS IN THEIR WAY. OF GREATEST CONCERN WAS THAT I WAS LEFT 'IN HARM'S WAY' WITH A COMPLETELY DEAD CAR AND NO WAY TO MOVE IT TO A SAFE AREA. WE COULD NOT PUSH THE CAR BECAUSE IT WAS LOCKED IN GEAR AND NOT IN NEUTRAL. LUCKY FOR ME I WAS IN A PARKING LOT. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY WITH SPEEDS OF 55 MPH, I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED AND MY CAR RUINED BY SOMEONE CRASHING INTO ME. IT WAS DARK AND I WOULD HAVE NO PROTECTION FOR ME AND MY CAR IF SOMEONE INADVERTENTLY SLAMMED INTO ME, NOT SEEING ME OR MY VEHICLE. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME TYPE OF EMERGENCY LIGHTS OR ANOTHER WAY TO PREVENT THIS POTENTIAL DEATH TRAP HAPPENING TO SOMEONE ELSE. PLEASE WORK WITH LINCOLN AND OTHER MANUFACTURERS TO INSURE BETTER SAFETY FOR CONSUMERS.
