MULTIPLE LOW BEAM HEADLAMP HARNESS PLUGS HAVE MELTED. OTHER RUNNING LIGHT PLUGS HAVE ALSO SHOWN HEAT DAMAGE AND CAUSED THE LIGHT TO FAIL TO WORK. BULBS ARE NOT FAILING BUT THE RECEPTACLE/PLUG WHERE THEY CONNECT TO THE VEHICLE SHOWS HEAT DAMAGE AND MELTING UNTIL THE LIGHT LOOSES CONNECTION. I HAVE REPLACED BOTH LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT PLUGS ALREADY AND AM GETTING READY TO REPLACE THEM AGAIN. THIS BULB/PLUG DESIGN PROBABLY AFFECTS OTHER MODELS AND PROBABLY OTHER MANUFACTURERS TOO. *TR

SAME AS ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. I WENT TO STOP AT A 4 WAY STOP AND MY BRAKES WERE HARD THAN HISSED AND WENT WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP AT THE STOP SIGN AND I THANK GOD NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME. AFTER HAVING THE BRAKES INSPECTED AND ASSURED THAT THEY WERE OK THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. NOW MY CAR IS GOING TO SIT UNTIL I CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO NEXT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM! BRAKES ARE A NECESSITY AND DEATH OR INJURIES NEED TO BE AVOIDED NOW! PLEASE PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR DIES. *TR

AFTER CLOSING THE DRIVERS DOOR THE CAR DETECTS AND SAYS THE DOOR IS STILL OPEN. AFTER NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS OF CLOSING THE DOOR...SOMETIMES IT WILL GO OFF. NOW, THE LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY. THIS SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING ON THE LINCOLN MKX AND THE FORD EDGE (SAME TYPE VEHICLE) AND HAS BEEN FOR YEARS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS WITH A RECALL FOR FORD AND LINCOLN WHICH IS CHARGING CUSTOMERS UP TO $500.00 IN SOME CASES TO REPAIR THESE FAULTY SWITCHES/SENSOR. *TR

LINCOLN MKZ 2007 AIRBAG MODULAR AND SENSORS GONE BAD AND AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. CAR WAS CHECKED FOR THE PROBLEM AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST OVER $1500 TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. THIS CAR PARTS HAVE CONTINUOUSLY FAIL ON THIS PARTICULAR CAR PANELS ON BOTH FRONT DOOR HAVE CRACKED, DRIVES SIDE HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE BY DEALER. WAS TOLD THAT IF I REPLACE DOOR PANEL I WOULD HAVE TO BUY THE DOOR RATHER THAN JUST A PANEL, HAVE REPLACED ALL FOUR REELS ON THE CAR, TIRES CONSTANTLY HAVE TO BE CHECKED FOR LOW AIR PRESSURE IN TIRES, DASHBOARD HAS POPPED LOOSE AT VENT IN TOP OF DASHBOARD AND WAS TOLD BY DEALER IT WOULD COST OVER $2000 TO REPAIR. THIS CAR IS SUPPOSE TO BE ONE OF LINCOLN'S BEST VEHICLES AND THE PARTS ON THIS CAR ARE NOT TOP QUALITY. CAR IS NOT OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE HAD SO MANY PROBLEM. CAR WAS POORLY BUILT AND IT IS A SHAME THAT LINCOLN WILL NOT STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND ACKNOWLEDGE ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. I AM A VERY UNSATISFIED CUSTOMER AND AT THIS POINT WOULD NOT CONSIDER BUYING ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE LINCOLN FAMILY. WHAT A SHAME THAT YOU PAY SO MUCH FOR A VEHICLE AND GET THIS KIND OF QUALITY. SHAME, SHAME, SHAME. *TR

NOTIFIED BY LINCOLN (FORD MOTOR COMPANY) ABOUT NHTSA 14V-597 RECALL IN LETTER DATED NOVEMBER 2014 CONCERNING THE AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE FAILURE. AS OF MAY 1ST, MY VEHICLE STILL HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. ALTHOUGH I HAVE MADE NUMEROUS CALL TO LINCOLN (FORD), I AM TOLD THAT REPAIR PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR MY VEHICLE. I HAVE BEE WAITING 6 MONTHS FOR REPAIR PARTS FOR MY VEHICLE. I FIND THIS TO BE UNACCEPTABLE AS A CONSUMER AND HENCE MY FILING THIS COMPLAINT WITH THE NHTSA. *TR
