STOPED AT A RED LIGHT ON A SLIGHT GRADE. CAR SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY W/LOSS OF STEERING & BRAKES. DRIFTED BACKWARD UNTIL I PUSHED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. LOCAL DEALER RAN DIANOSTICS, NOTHING FOUND LINCOLN PROVIDED ZERO HELP IN RESOULVING THE PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 LINCOLN LS. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THERE WAS A STRONG FUEL ODOR COMING FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO INDEPENDENT MECHANICS WHO CONFIRMED THE FUEL ODOR ALONG THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT A LOT OF PARTS WOULD NEED TO BE REMOVED IN ORDER TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V113000 (FUEL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 68,000.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2013 AND 3 OF 4 DOOR SENSORS HAVE MALFUNCTIONED. THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON SO MY DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS CONCERN AS I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AS PASSENGERS, ALSO GOD FORBID I AM IN A SITUATION WHERE I NEED TO LOCK MYSELF IN MY CAR FOR SOME REASON; I AM SCREWED! THE ALARM CONSTANTLY GOES OFF IF I LOCK/ARM THE ALARM OR AND LOCK DOORS BECAUSE OF THE DOOR SENSORS. THE DOME LIGHT ILLUMINATES AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING, VERY ANNOYING WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION. WHEN THE FIRST SENSOR STARTED ACTING UP I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY QUOTED ME $420! AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OVER $1200 TO REPAIR FAULTY DOOR SENSORS ON A VEHICLE THAT IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD. I WAS SIMPLY TOLD BY THE FORD DEALER THAT I SHOULD HAVE PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THAT THE ISSUE IS NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. AS A PARENT WITH TWO YOUNG CHILDREN I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THAT NOT BEING ABLE TO LOCK MY DOORS WHILE DRIVING IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING ONLINE MANY FORD AND LINCOLN MODEL CARS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. SOMEONE NEEDS TO HOLD FORD/LINCOLN ACCOUNTABLE AND MAKE THEM FIX THIS ISSUE AT NO CHARGE TO THE CONSUMER. I ALREADY PAID THEM A HEFTY PRICE TO PURCHASE THE VEHICLE LESS THAN 5 YEARS AGO. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON ALL OF THESE MECHANISMS SHOULD BE FAILING OR ALREADY FAILED IN SUCH A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!! * 11/01/2015 IS THE APPROXIMATE DATE WHEN SYMPTOMS/ISSUES FIRST BEGAN.

MY 2007 LINCOLN MKX IS SUDDENLY DECELERATING AND STOPPING OR FREEZING UP WHILE DRIVING. THE PROBLEM STARTED AFTER PREMIER FORD LINCOLN SERVICE REPAIRED POWER BRAKES BOOSTER. I MADE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS TO CAR MAKER AND REPAIRS SHOP. PREMIER SHOP APPEAR UNSURE OF PROBLEM AND OFFERED EXPENSIVE SOLUTIONS TO FORCE NEW CAR PURCHASE. I BELIEVE LINCOLN IS AWARE OF PROBLEM AND REFUSES TO ISSUE RECALL.
