LINCOLN Complaints

MY MKC WAS ONE OF THE FIRST MANUFACTURED. IT CAME WITH MICHELIN TIRES. AT 33,000 MILES I HAD TO REPLACE A TIRE DUE TO A NAIL IN THE SIDEWALL- IT TOOK THE DEALER 3 WEEKS TO FIND ONE. TODAY I WAS JUST TOLD TWO MORE TIRES NEED TO BE REPLACED ON THE CAR BUT THEY ARE NOT AVAILABLE!1 UNBELIEVABLE! I HAVE A 2015 CAR THAT CAN'T BE DRIVEN BECAUSE THEY USED MICHELIN TIRES THAT CAN'T BE BOUGHT! LINCOLN SHOUL DBE MADE TO PAY FOR UPGRADED TIRES FOR ALL 4 WHEELS NOW PLEASE- I CAN'T WAIT FOR WEEKS TO GET A TIRE!

DRIVER SIDE SEAT BRACKET BROKE OFF WHEN GETTING INTO CAR. DEALER TOOK CAR AND REPAIRED SEAT. SIDE AIRBAG CASE WAS ALSO SPLIT AND AIRBAG WAS VISIBLE TO THE EYE. THIS WAS IN JUNE 2017. SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED LAST WEEK. DRIVER SIDE SEAT (LEFT SIDE AGAIN) BROKE OFF AS I ENTERED THE VAHICLE. CASE OF AIRBAG DID NOT BREAK OPEN. DEALER PICKED UP AND REPAIRED AGAIN. TOOK CAR OUT TODAY AFTER GETTING IT BACK. NOW SEAT COOLING FAN IS EXTREMELY LOUD IN THE SEAT ITSELF. IT MUST BE HITTING SOMETHING INSIDE AS IT ROTATES TO COOL THE SEATS NO HAVE MADE A RECORDING. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AND NOT MOVING WHEN THENINCIDENTS HAPPENED. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER AGAIN THIS EVENING AND LEFT MESSAGE TO RETURN MY CALL.

ON OCTOBER 4, 2017 AT APPROXIMATELY 3:45 PM, I DEPARTED FROM THE SACRAMENTO CHILDREN'S HOME THROUGH AN ADJACENT ALLEY TRAVELING THROUGH THE SOUTH BOUND ENTRANCE. AS I MADE THE LEFT TURN INTO THE ALLEY AS I GRADUALLY GOT UP TO SPEED MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO ACCELERATE. I WAS STARTLED BY THE SUDDEN INCREASE OF SPEED AND IMMEDIATE MADE AN ATTEMPT TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND SHUT THE VEHICLE DOWN AND APPLY THE BRAKES. BEFORE I COULD MAKE THE CORRECTIONS THE VEHICLE HAD VEERED OFF TO THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE ALLEY AND STRUCK AN OAK TREE. TO MY GUESS THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT A RATE OF SPEED OF ABOUT 25-30 MPH. ON IMPACT I SLAMMED INTO MY MOTOROLA SPEAKER THAT WAS ATTACHED TO MY SUN VISOR AND SPLIT MY HEAD OPEN WHICH REQUIRED 8 STAPLES TO CLOSE.

ON TUESDAY 10/3/2017 AROUND 5:35 PM WE WERE DRIVING THE 2013 MKX ON CALLAGHAN ROAD UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND STOPPED BEHIND ANOTHER CAR WAITING FOR THE ONE LANE TRAFFIC TO MOVE FORWARD WHEN THE MKX UNEXPECTEDLY REVVED UP AND LUNGED TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF US. WE IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZED THIS AS SUA SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THE DRIVER HAD TO APPLY ADDITIONAL PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES TO HOLD THE CAR BACK.

"TAKATA RECALL" THE RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE CAME OUT IN JUNE 2016, HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER MANY TIMES AND STILL HAVE NOT HAD A APPOINTMENT TO REPLACE THE RECALL ITEM. WHAT AM I SUPPOSE DO WAIT FOR A ACCIDENT TO OCCUR THEN ITS TO LATE

NEAR THE END OF MY 35 MINUTE COMMUTE HOME I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT ON A BUSY CITY STREET. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I PUT MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND PLACED IT ON THE ACCELERATOR. . THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE LOW ENGINE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL TO COAST THE CAR TO THE RIGHT LANE. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A DEALER. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THE COMPUTER HAD NO HISTORY OF THE ERROR MESSAAGE. VERY TROUBLING. I DRIVE THE FREEWAY TO WORK DURING EARLY MORNING HOURS. IF THIS HAD OCCURRED ON THE FREEWAY, THE CAR WOULD'VE BEEN AN EASY TARGET FOR TRAFFIC BEHIND ME.
