LINCOLN Complaints

BECAME HARD TO STEER WHILE DRIVING. LIKE LOSS OF POWER STEERING TO IT INTO BE CHECKED IT IS THE INTERMEDIATE STEERING. ALMOST LOST CONTROL. I WAS TOLD IT WAS RECALLED FOR SAME REASON. I CHECKED IT WAS RECALLED BUT SAYS 0 UNREPAIRED . BUT SAYS SOME WAS NOT REPAIRED CORRECTLY I HAVE LESS THAN 95,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. WHAT CAN BE DONE FOR THIS VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A ROAD WITH OUT NOTICED

AUG 2, MY HUSBAND & I WERE APPROACHING A 4-WAY LIGHT NEAR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. WE WERE SLOWING DOWN TO TURN RIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION. AS WE BEGAN THE TURN, THE TIRES LOCKED & OUR CAR SLIDE LEFT ACROSS LANES THAT RESULTED IN A CRASH. BOTH AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I WAS THROWN INTO THE WINDSHIELD, DESPITE MY SEAT-BELT, BUSTING IT. THEN, MY AIRBAG DEPLOYED. IT WAS LIKE MY HUSBAND HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. BOTH AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. TIRES WERE STILL LOCKED WHEN TOW-TRUCK ARRIVED. OTHER CAR INVOLVED DID NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE. WE DO NOT HAVE A HYBRID, BUT WONDER IF THE STEERING RECALL THAT STARTED WITH 2012 MKZ HYBRIDS & OTHERS COULD INVOLVE ADDITIONAL MODELS LIKE OURS (RECALL 15V340000). WHAT WE EXPERIENCED WAS NOT NORMAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V077000(LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR AS THE RECALL NOTICE WAS RECEIVED OVER A YEAR AGO. RC LACY FORD LINCOLN SUBARU (U.S. 9W, 25 MAPLE AVE, CATSKILL, NY 12414, (518) 943-4300) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED TO CONFIRM PART AVAILABILITY. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

REAR LIFT GATE HYDRAULIC LIFTER ON DRIVER SIDE EXPLODED WHILE CAR WAS JUST PARKED. PART OF IT WENT THROUGH THE REAR OF THE CAR AND LANDED ON MY PATIO COVERING. THE LARGER PART REMAINED INSIDE THE TAILGATE AREA. THIS COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE. ABOUT 30 MINUTES PRIOR WHEN I USED A BUTTON TO OPEN THE AUTOMATIC HYDRAULIC TAILGATE IT.KEPT CLOSING AND WOULDNT STAY OPEN. SO WE USED THE GLASS WINDOW HATCH UPON ARRIVAL TO MY HOME IT EXPLODED AND SHOT UP INTO THE AIR. THE CAR WAS STAIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY. I JUST TURNED IT OFF MY SON WENT TO THE BACK OF THE CAR TO GET THE GROCERIES. I HAVE VIDEO AND PHOTOS IT WONT LET ME UPLOAD THEM

ON JULY 18, 2019, THE BRAKES ON MY 2013 MKX SUDDENLY BECAME VERY STIFF WITH POOR BRAKING WHILE DRIVING IN TOWN. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SERVICE CENTER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A SAFETY RECALL ON THE 2013 MKX BRAKES AND IT WAS SUGGESTED I TAKE IT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. I WENT DIRECTLY THERE (LESS THAN 1 MILE) IT WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE SERVICE WRITER TO BE A DEFECTIVE BRAKE BOOSTER (BRAKE PEDAL STIFF, THEN WHILE PRESSING THE PEDAL, IT WENT TO THE FLOOR, AND A WHISTLING NOISE WAS HEARD) I HAD THE BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED THE FOLLOWING DAY, HOWEVER THAT WAS NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM. THE BRAKES WENT FROM STIFF WITH POOR BRAKING ABILITY TO ABSOLUTELY NO BRAKES AT ALL. INFORMED THAT THE PART NEEDED (ABS MODULE) IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER-NONE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE IN THE UNITED STATES. MY CAR IS STILL AT THE REPAIR SHOP WAITING FOR THE NECESSARY PART TO COMPLETE THE BRAKE JOB. TODAY'S DATE IS AUGUST 7, 2019. THE PART IS ON EMERGENCY ORDER, THERE IS NO INDICATION AS TO WHEN THE PART WILL BECOME AVAILABLE. I AM STRANDED WITHOUT A CAR. I HAVE READ SEVERAL REPORTS OF EXACTLY THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2013 LINCOLN MKX BRAKES AND SOME WERE RECALLED. I WAS INFORMED THAT MINE WAS MANUFACTURED IN MAY 2013 AND THE RECALL ONLY COVERED THOSE MANUFACTURED THROUGH MARCH 2013. I SEEMS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES WAS NOT RESOLVED AT THE MANUFACTURING PLANT, OR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WOULD NOT STILL BE OCCURRING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. DO WE HAVE TO WAIT TILL DEATHS AND SERIOUS INJURIES OCCUR BEFORE FORD COMPANY WILL DO THE RIGHT THING AND RECALL ALL 2013 LINCOLN MKX. I HAD PLANS TO DRIVE MYSELF AND 2 GRANDSONS 300 MILES TO THE BEACH ON JULY 19, WE WERE ALL DISAPPOINTED THAT OUR VACATION HAD TO BE CANCELLED, BUT I SHUTTER AT THE THOUGHT OF DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AND SUDDENLY HAVING NO BRAKES. PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING - RECALL 2013 MKX

SEATBELT IS NOT RECOILING PROPERLY. DEALERSHIP REPLACED IT, NEW ONE IS HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES. SAT IN OTHER BLACK LABEL NAVIGATORS AND THEY ALSO HAD THE SAME ISSUE. WHEN USING THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE BRAKES ARE MAKING AN ODD NOISE (IT MAKES THE SAME TYPE OF SOUND YOU HEAR WHEN GETTING UP FROM A LEATHER COUCH) WINDOW WASHERS HAVE FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE MULTIPLE VIDEO'S OF THAT DRIVER SEATS ARE MAKING A LOT OF NOISE (ALMOST LIKE SOMETHING IS LOOSE), DEALERSHIP HAD TO FIX IT TWICE NOW. KEEP IN MIND THIS VEHICLE IS BRAND NEW, THEIR TOP OF THE LINE MODEL AND HAD LESS THEN 10K MILES WHEN THESE ISSUES STARTED. I WOULD BE MORE THAN WILLING TO MEET WITH SOMEONE IN PERSON TO SHOW THEM ALL THE ISSUES.

PURCHASED CAR MARCH 23. ON MARCH 31, STOPPED TO GET GAS, WHEN RESTARTED THE CAR, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS BLACK. DID NOT COME BACK UP UNTIL NEXT DAY. THIS HAS REPEATED ON MAY 15TH, MAY 29TH, JUNE 26TH AND AUG 3RD. NAVIGATION SCREEN HAS FROZEN TWICE, APRIL 16TH AND AUG 2ND. I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALER EACH TIME, KEPT IT FOR NEARLY 2 WEEKS AFTER THE JUNE 26TH EVENT AND HAVE YET TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM OR IDENTIFY IT. PROBLEMS PRESENT WHEN STARTING THE CARD, AND DISAPPEAR AFTER THE CAR HAS BEEN TURNED OFF BUT ONLY AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME (MEANING IF I TURN IT OFF AND ON IMMEDIATELY, IT DOES NOT FIX THE ISSUE).

LEFT REAR DOOR AJAR SENSOR WILL NOT SHUT OFF. THE CAR CONSISTENTLY THINKS THE DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IN FACT THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS SETS THE VEHICLE CAR ALARM OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED 2-4 TIMES A DAY. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT, ALL OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON AS IT THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN, CAUSING NIGHT TIME DRIVING VERY DIFFICULT. WE HAVE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AT NIGHT TO STOP DRAINING THE BATTERY. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FLAW IN THE DESIGN SINCE THE SWITCH IS BUILT INTO THE DOOR LATCH. THE COST TO REPAIR THIS DESIGN FLAW HAS BEEN PUSHED OFF ONTO THE CONSUMER WHICH IS UNETHICAL AND WRONG.

A FEW MONTHS AGO, AROUND 65,000 MILES, I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I NOTICED A LOSS OF POWER AS I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE. AT THAT SAME TIME, THE CHECK ENGINE ICON STARTED FLASHING. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE ICON STOPPED FLASHING. EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL AND I DIDN'T EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM AGAIN FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS. THIS WOULD OCCASIONALLY HAPPEN WHENEVER I'D TRY TO OVERTAKE ANOTHER CAR ON THE HIGHWAY. THESE DAYS AT 78,000 MILES, THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY RUNS ROUGH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LINCOLN MKT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CURRIE MOTORS FORD OF VALPO (LOCATED AT 2052 W MORTHLAND DR, VALPARAISO, IN 46385, (219) 336-1373) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAT BELT BUCKLE ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. PIIR = Y.
