LINCOLN Complaints

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LINCOLN MKZ. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS). THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED FLETCHER FORD BORDER STORE (LOCATED AT 92 ROUTE OO, JANE, MO 64856, PHONE: 417-726-4650) WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR LATCH IS FAILED, IDENTICAL TO THE ACTIVE 2013-2014 MODEL YEARS FAILURE. DOOR WILL NOT SHUT PROPERLY, CANNOT BE LOCKED, AND OCCASIONALLY REQUIRES OUTSIDE ASSISTANCE TO OPEN THE DOOR. DOOR HANDLE WILL NOT RETRACT FULLY, AND LOCKING MECHANISM IS FAILED. OPENING THE DOOR WHILE LOCKED IS POSSIBLE. I SUSPECT IT WOULD FAIL IN A CRASH, SINCE THE LOCKING BAR IS OBVIOUSLY NOT ENGAGED. FORD DECLAIMS ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ITEM. MATCHING RECALL NUMBER IS 15S16.

THIS IS MY PARENT'S VEHICLE (2007 LINCOLN MKX) AND INFORMATION IS BEING ENTERED ON THEIR BEHALF. WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THERE WAS A "POP" WHICH MADE THE DRIVER THINK SHE MAY HAVE RUN OVER SOMETHING, WHICH SHE DID NOT. DRIVER SLOWED AND VEHICLE THEN STARTED VIBRATING & HESITATING. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE ABOVE 45 MPH (SPEED LIMIT INCREASED TO 70 MPH ON HWY AND VEHICLE SPEED COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT IF OTHER DRIVERS WERE NOT AWARE OF A SLOW MOVING VEHICLE). VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DEALER NEXT DAY AND OWNERS WERE TOLD COILS WERE BURNED OUT AND COMPUTER SYSTEM WAS AFFECTED. DEALER ALSO STATED THAT CATALYTIC CONVERTER MAY HAVE BEEN AFFECTED IF VEHICLE HAD CONTINUED TO BE DRIVEN. COST TO REPAIR ESTIMATED AT $2400.00. MILEAGE AT TIME OF INCIDENT WAS A LITTLE OVER 66,000 ORIGINAL MILES. WE ARE SEEING OTHER COMPLAINTS ONLINE OF COILS BURNING OUT AND COMPUTER PROBLEMS FOR THIS MODEL AND FEEL LINCOLN SHOULD INVESTIGATE THIS IF THEY HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO. WE ALSO FEEL THE FULL BURDEN OF REPAIRS SHOULD NOT BE ON THE OWNER AS THIS SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO SEVERAL VEHICLES.

BOTH FRONT DOORS HAVE A PROBLEM THE HANDLE ON THE DRIVER DOOR BROKE U CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. THEN TODAY THE PASSENGER DOOR WANT STAY CLOSE.
