BATTERY OVERHEATS, CAR STALLS AND STOPS MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY, AND TWICE DRIVING REGULAR SIDE STREET . HYBRID BATTERY WAS CHANGED LAST MONTH UNDER WARRANTY. CAR HAS OVER 16K MILES . TOWED 3X TO DEALERSHIP AT LINCOLN REPAIR SHOP IN HENDERSON NV. PER LINCOLN MECHANIC, THIS IS A FLAW ON THIS CAR AND THAT THE LINCOLN ENGINEERS ARE NOT ABLE TO OFFER A FIX OR A SOLUTION AS THE OVERHEATING IS BEING BLAMED TO LAS VEGAS SUMMER TEMP OVER 110 DEGREES.THE CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. LINCOLN OFFERED AN EXTENDED 4 YEAR WARRANTY. LINCOLN DOES NOT WANT TO BRING THE CAR BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP AFTER THE LAST INCIDENT JULY 31, 2017. I WAS ADVISED THAT THERE IS NO FIX AND THERE IS NOTHING THE LINCOLN ENGINEERS CAN OFFER , AN DTHAT THE BATTERY WILL DIE AND STALL FROM HIGH VEGAS HEAT.

TAKATA RECALL - RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE JULY 2016, BUT STILL NOT FIXED WHEN TIMELINE SHOWS TO BE RECALLED BY MAY 2016 IN KANSAS. THE RECALL NOTICE DOESN'T ACCOMPLISH ANY SAFETY WITHOUT THE FIX!!! FORD CONTENDS CAR IS SAFE TO OPERATE BASED ON TECHNICAL DATA, ADVISING THAT THEY "HAVE NO REPORTS OF ANY EXPLOSIONS IN FORD VEHICLES", AND NHTSA WILL NOT PROVIDE DATA TO PUBLIC ON WHAT CARS HAVE EXPLODED TO ENABLE VERIFICATION BY PUBLIC. THIS IS IN DIRECT CONFLICT WITH THE RECALL NOTICE, WHICH SAYS DEFECT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I PURCHASED TWO OF THESE VEHICLES FROM TWO SEPARATE FORD DEALERS IN KANSAS CITY AREA IN NOVEMBER 2015 WITHOUT ANY NOTIFICATIONS OF THE DEFECTS DESPITE NHTSA BEING AWARE OF THESE DEFECTS FOR MANY YEARS PRIOR TO MY PURCHASES. HOW IS THE SAFETY MISSION OF NHTSA BEING MET HERE??? WHY ARE THESE DANGEROUS CARS STILL BEING SOLD WITH NHTSA NOT OBJECTING?

THE SMELL OF EXHAUST IN THE CAR ,THEY TRIED TO FIX IT 3 TIMES. WITH AC ON AND YOU DOWN SHIFT IT COME OUT OF AC VENTS, THIS PROBLEM EXIST SINCE I BOUGHT CAR. I ASK DEALER TO PUT SENSORS IN CAR TO SEE IF IT EXHAUST , BUT THEY KEEP TRYING THERE METHODS
