LINCOLN Complaints

PRESSED THE GAS AFTER SITTING A STOP LIGHT AND GOT NO POWER. SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO DRIVE AGAIN SEEMED TO HELP, UNTIL I GOT ON THE INTERSTATE 5 MINUTES LATER AND NOTICED THAT MY SPEEDOMETER HAD STOPPED WORKING AND THE MESSAGE CENTER WAS FLASHING THE WRENCH SYMBOL ALONG WITH A "--MILES TO E FUEL LEVEL LOW" MESSAGE. THERE WAS HALF A TANK OF GAS IN TANK. GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND ALMOST MADE IT HOME UNTIL I DROVE UP A HILL WITH A STOP SIGN AT THE TOP, AND ONCE AGAIN, NO POWER WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS AFTER STOPPING AT THE SIGN. I HAD TO PUSH THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN JUST TO GET IT GO 5MPH THE REST OF THE WAY UP THE HILL TO MY HOUSE. WHEN I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND THEN BACK ON, THE WARNING DISAPPEARED AND THE SPEEDOMETER SUDDENLY WORKED AGAIN. THE NEXT DAY, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK OUT, WITH THE WRENCH LIGHT FLASHING AGAIN AND THE SPEEDOMETER STUCK ON ZERO. THIS WAS ON LOW MPH CITY STREETS. MADE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT AGAIN RESET AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE. SEEMS TO LOSE POWER WHEN ACCELERATING UP THE SHALLOWEST INCLINES. THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE ISSUE FOR 2011-2013 NAVIGATORS UNDER NHTSA ID NUMBER 10162411 AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V248000. 2014 MODELS NEED TO BE ADDED TO THE RECALL.

I HAVE RECEIVED LETTER FOR RECALL AND LETTER STATING THERE PARTS AVAILABLE FOR THIS RECALL. I CALLED THE NEAREST DEALER AN GAVE MY INFO AND THE RESPONSE WAS THAT THEY HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED PARTS. I ATTEMPTED AGAIN BEING THAT I HAD NOT HEARD FROM THEM AFTER THEM STATING THAT THEY WOULD CALL WHEN PARTS CAME AVAILABLE. IT'S HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR, AN IN THE YEAR I HAVE BEEN IN TWO ACCIDENTS. I NEED THIS ISSUE TO BE FIXED REPLACED OR REFUNDED OF THE CAR VALUE.

ALL ABILITY TO CONTROL THE HVAC IS LOST WHILE IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE ALLOWS ME TO SELECT ANY FUNCTION I ASK OF IT ON THE CENTER STACK LIKE AC, HEAT, FEET VENTS, DEFROST WITH A CONFIRMING LIGHT AND "BOOP" SOUND, HOWEVER ONLY HOT AIR BLOWS OUT THE DEFROSTER VENT AND IT CANNOT BE TURNED OFF WITHOUT TURNING THE WHOLE VEHICLE OFF. IN COOLER WEATHER, ESPECIALLY WHEN RAINING, THE WINDOWS FOG UP AND VISIBILITY IS LOST. OTHER SYSTEMS AFFECTED ARE THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTONS INSIDE THE CAR. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PUT INTO PARK AND THE UNLOCK BUTTON IS PRESSED, A SOFT CLICK CAN BE HEARD, HOWEVER THE CAR STAYS LOCKED. THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK THE DOORS IS TO USE THE KEYFOB. IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION, IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO EXIT THE VEHICLE. ALSO, ONCE THE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED AND THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN TO A CERTAIN SPEED, THE LOCKS DO NOT AUTO-LOCK AGAIN. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, IT DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE KEY AND THE VEHICLE WON'T START, BUT THE KEY-FOB STILL WORKS FOR UNLOCKING AND LOCKING THE VEHICLE. THE TAILGATE BUTTON ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND ON THE KEY-FOB WILL NOT WORK, HOWEVER, THE TAILGATE BUTTON INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE DOES WORK. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT GO INTO AN AUXILLARY MODE. IF THE VEHICLE IS NOT TURNED OFF AND CONTINUES TO BE DRIVEN, THE CAR WILL "COME TO" AFTER 30 PLUS MINUTES AND WORK NORMALLY AGAIN. IF THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, IT WON'T RESTART FROM ANYWHERE OF 1-30 MINUTES. WHEN IT RESTARTS, EVERYTHING IS NORMAL AGAIN. DEALER SHOWS NO ERROR CODES AND DOESN'T YET KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. MY BEST GUESS IS THAT THERE IS A COMPUTER ISSUE, AS SOME PARTS OF THE VEHICLE ARE FINE, BUT OTHERS STOP WORKING. ISSUE STARTED IN JUNE 2018, HAS YET TO BE FIXED BY LINCOLN. USUALLY HAPPENS 2-4 TIMES A MONTH. LATEST IT HAPPENED WAS 10-15-2019. MANY VIDEOS OF ISSUE.

I'M GETTING EXHAUST SMELL COMING OUT OF VENTS. MAKING ME SICK & GIVING ME HEADACHES.. TOOK IT TO DEALER DID NOTHING, REPLACED CABIN FILTE ? HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING BUT NOT ALWAYS. BEEN GOING ON FOR WEEKS. NOW IT'S MAKING BAD NOISE UNDER CAR WHEN I START DRIVING FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES THEN STOPS..
