ENGINE STARTED TO MISS AND LOST POWER HAD TO PULL OFF ROAD IMMEDIATELY. COIL SHORTED OUT SO BADLY MECHANIC SAID IT COULD HAVE CAUGHT FIRE! DATE OF TROUBLE 12-26-15. AFTER SPENDING $1600 TO REPLACE ALL 6 COILS PER THE TSB REQUIREMENTS AND SPARK PLUGS ETC STILL NOT WORKING BECAUSE OF BAD PCM UNIT THAT HAS TO BE FIXED AND REPROGRAMMED! ANOTHER $1100! PLEASE CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY HAZARD! I WAS A SINGLE WOMAN DRIVING MY CAR AND THANK GOD IT WASN'T AT NIGHT! THIS COULD EASILY HAVE RESULTED INA FIRE AND FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT 45 MPH TRAFFIC SLOWS. I COME DOWN HARD ON BRAKE. ANTI-LOCK BRAKE ACTIVATES, PEDDLE GOES SOFT AND CATCHES JUST ABOVE FLOOR. PEDDLE DOSE NOT RETURN TO NORMAL UNTIL CHECKED BY LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE RUNS A CHECK ON THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. HOURS LATER BRAKES ARE BACK TO NORMAL. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF THE PROBLEM. THE MKZ IS A CLOSE RELATIVE OF THE FORD FUSION.

2016 LINCOLN MKX - FWD- LOSES BALANCE WHEN ACCELERATED. ITS WOBBLES/ SWIRLS WHEN STEPPED ON THE GAS ON A CITY STREET OR ON A HIGHWAY. WHEN WE BROUGHT THE CAR IN, LINCOLN DEALERSHIP SERVICES FOREMAN, ADVISER AND DIRECTOR CLAIMED ITS THEIR MKX FWD NORMAL CHARACTERISTICS. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT DISCLOSE THIS DEFECTIVE DESIGN AT THE TIME OF PURCHASING. THERE ARE NO FIXES, AND THE MKX AWD DOES NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM/CHARACTERISTICS. WE HAVE CONTACT THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND THE MANAGER SAID THEY TRUSTED THEIR SERVICES ENGINEERS THAT ITS THE NORMAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MKX AWD. BOTH THE ADVISER AND THE CORPORATE MANAGER SAID FOR US TO REPORT TO OUR INSURANCE COMPANY IF WE GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECTIVE DESIGN. WE BOUGHT A VERY EXPENSIVE CAR, BUT UNABLE TO USE ITS ABILITIES, BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE TO ACCELERATE. WHO WOULD BUY A VERY EXPENSIVE CAR AND AFRAID TO STEP ON THE GAS? LINCOLN NEEDS TO DISCLOSE THE MKX FWD- DEFECTIVE DESIGNS THAT THEY CLAIMED TO BE THE NORMAL CHARACTERISTICS TO THEIR CUSTOMERS AT THE TIME OF BUYING. OR THEY NEED TO STOP PUTTING THE ECO BOOST ENG ON THE FWD MKX CARS.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE RECEIVED THE RECALL PAPERS LIKE 7 MONTHS AGO AND I CANT GET ANY ANSWERS FROM ANYONE NOT EVEN A DEALERSHIP WILL GIVE ME ANSWERS ABOUT THIS AND WHY I CANT GET IT FIXED I DRIVE MY CAR EVERY DAY AND I AM IN THE FLORIDA HEAT ALSO I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR AND I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE A DEATH TRAP. I WOULD LIKE ANSWERS AND WHY ITS TAKING ALMOST A YEAR FOR A AIR BAG TO BE REPLACED WHICH DON'T MAKE SENSE AT ALL FORD BUILDS NEW CARS EVERYDAY IN A FACTORY PROBABLY THOUSANDS A WEEK BUT THEY CANT REPLACE A AIR BAG ON A CAR THAT THEY ALREADY SOLD SOMEONE THAT THEY ARE DRIVING? DON'T MAKE SENSE TO ME AT ALL THAT BUILDING A CAR THEY HAVEN'T SOLD YET IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN SOMEONE'S LIFE THAT BOUGHT THERE SLAP TOGETHER CHINA MADE AIR BAGS I WANT THIS FORWARDED TO WHOEVER IS IN CHARGE BECAUSE I AM CONTACTING A LAWYER ABOUT THIS BECAUSE ITS UNSAFE AND VERY DANGEROUS TO ME AND OTHER PEOPLE THAT ARE ON THE ROAD WHEN MY CAR IS ON THE ROAD! I WANT SOME KIND OF ANSWER AND IF A LAWYER HAS TO BE INVOLVED TO GET AN ANSWER THEN SO BE IT! *TR
