LINCOLN Complaints

WE RECEIVED THE RECALL IN JUNE FOR A LEAKY FUEL TANK. WE HAD THAT FIXED. IN JULY 2016 WE RECEIVED THE RECALL FOR THE FAULTY TAKATA PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS. WE WENT INTO BILL KNIGHT LINCOLN IN TULSA, OK ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS TO FIX IT. IN THE MEANTIME, A FRIEND OF MINE INITIALLY GOT A UNLIMITED LOANER CAR BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF HER COUNSELING JOB WITH CHILDREN. SHE DROVE DIFFERENT CARS IN THE MEANTIME WHILE I HAVE BEEN STUCK WITH THE WARNING OF POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO OCCUPANTS IN THE CAR FOR THE LAST 8 MONTHS. IT IS STRESSFUL FOR ME TO THINK ABOUT THAT, TO SAY THE LEAST, FOR ME AND FOR ANYONE ELSE WHO MIGHT BE WITH ME IN THE CAR. SINCE THE RECALL, NO ONE SITS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE. FRIENDS AND FAMILY HAVE TO SIT IN THE BACK. EVEN SO, I STILL DON'T FEEL WE ARE ALL FREE FROM DANGEROUS FLYING DEBRIS IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS, BY NO FAULT OF MY OWN. ARE THERE ANY SOLUTIONS SET IN PLACE TO EXPEDITE REPLACEMENT. BTW, MY FRIEND RECEIVED HER REPLACEMENT AIRBAG MONTHS AGO. SHE THEN TRADED IN THAT CAR FOR A NEW ONE. REGRETFULLY, SOME OF US DO NOT HAVE THAT LUXURY.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70MPH AND THE POWER STEERING WENT COMPLETELY OUT. A MESSAGE POPPED UP ON THE DASH STATING "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW". I WAS UNABLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE OFF OF THE INTERSTATE. I SAW A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE FOR THE YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF THIS VEHICLE BUT AM ENRAGED THAT WHEN I CHECK THE VIN IT COMES UP WITH NO RECALL. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE PRODUCT AND WILL NOT BE COVERED ON THE CURRENT RECALL. THIS REPAIR ROUGHLY WILL COST 2200.00 DOLLARS PER THE LOCAL DEALER.

FRONT ROOF GLASS PANEL EXPLODING FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY WITH NO CARS OR BRIDGES AROUND ME. SHARDS AND PIECES OF BROKEN GLASS HITTING ME AND PASSENGER. SAFETY ISSUE AND HAS HAPPENED TO HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE AND LINCOLN/FORD WILL NOT STAND BEHIND LACK OF WORKMANSHIP OR DESIGN FLAW. THEY WANT $1800 TO REPAIR.

DOORS FAIL TO LATCH, WITH SEVERAL REPORTS INDICATING THAT THE 'DOOR AJAR' WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH APPEARED AND CABIN LIGHTS STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING AND STAYS ON AFTER CLOSING DOORS! THE ONLY WAY TO TURN THEM OFF IS TO UNPLUG BATTERY! THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THAT I HAVE BEEN REPAIRING DIFFERENT DOORS LATCH AND I AM SURPRISED WHY CAR SAFETY RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED YET ON THESE MODELS. IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR AND IT'S A CAUSING A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING NIGHT TIME WITH CABIN LIGHT ON AND AJAR WARNING SYSTEM IS OFF!!!! PLEASE NOTE THAT SAME ISSUE OCCURS EVERY YEAR WITH MORE THAN ONE DOOR (2014/2015/2016/2017)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LINCOLN MKT. WHILE MAKING A TURN AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY FAILED. THE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

TAKATA RECALL WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ALL OF A SUDDEN THE WRENCH LIGHT COME ON AND THE SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING AND TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR MONITOR FAILURE LIGHT CAME ON. THEN RPM PICKED UP TO 3000 WAS LOOSING POWER, DROVE 3 MILES TO NEAREST WIDE SPOT. PUT VEHICLE IN PARK CUT ENGINE OFF, LET IT SIT , ALL LIGHTS WENT OFF , PUT IT IN REVERSE IT JERKED ABNORMALLY HARD AND WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE IT WOULD NOT PULL OUT. VEHICLE NOW WILL NOT DRIVE FORWARD AT ALL. WHEN WE FINALLY GOT HOME WITH OUR SON I LOOKED ONLINE TO FIND THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS TO OTHER PEOPLE. I WENT TO YOU TUBE AND TYPED IN 2008 LINCOLN MKX AND WAS AMAZED TO FIND THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IT SAYS ITS SOMETHING WITH A SPEED SENSORS FOR THE TRANSMISSION. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLIANTS SIMILAR TO MINE. I FEEL IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN TO SOMEONE WHO WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IT COULD GET THEM KILLED. PLEASE LOOK INTO TO THIS AND SEE IF A RECALL NEEDS DONE FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE. THANKS
