SO FAR THIS HAS HAPPENED NOW 4 TIMES. WHILE DRIVING MY CARE AT 35 MPH, MY CAR WILL LOSE ALL POWER AS WELL AS THE STEERING WHEEL WILL LOCK. MY CAR WILL BEGAN TO GO IN ITS OWN DIRECTION AND I HAVE TO BRING THE CAR TO A COMPLETE STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, PUT IT IN PARK AND TURN IT OFF AND START IT BACK UP AGAIN. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND LOSING NOT ONLY THE POWER OF THE VEHICLE BUT ALSO THE STEERING IS VERY CONCERNING. I HAVE CONTACTED LINCOLN AND THEY HAVE LET ME KNOW THAT THIS IS A VALID RECALL FOR OVER 83,000 VEHICLES MADE IN THE SAME YEAR BUT IT IS NOT ON MY VEHICLES RECALL LIST. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS.

MY 2008 LINCOLN MKX STARTS CUTTING OUT AND CHUGGING AT THE SPEED OF 45 MPH YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT GAS TO GET IT UP OVER 50ISH TO COME OUT OF IT. IT WILL DO AGAIN AT TIME OUT ON THE INTERSTATE AROUND THE SPEED OF 60 MPH BUT AT THIS TIME THE ABS AND SKID LIGHT COME ON. I'M AFRAID WITH HAVING MY GRANDDAUGHTERS IN THE CAR THAT SOMETHING BAD WILL HAPPEN WHEN I'M OUT ON THE ROAD WITH THEM. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT AN ARM AND A LEG AND WILL NOT JUST GIVE A SUGGESTION OR ADVICE, THE TRANSMISSION SHOP PUT A MACHINE ON IT BUT CAN'T DETECT ANY CERTAIN CAUSE.
