LINCOLN Complaints

I JUST PURCHASED A USED 2005 LINCOLN. THE 1ST DAY OF/DURING DRIVING IT, I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WHEN MOVING MY RIGHT FOOT ONTO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP. DOING SO, 3 DIFFERENT TIMES, THE VEHICLE LEAPT FORWARD. (I'VE HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING IN THE PAST TO OLDER FOLKS DRIVING INTO BUILDINGS.) I HAVE COME TO BE AWARE THAT WHEN MOVING THE RIGHT FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO THE BRAKE PEDAL VIA ROLLING ON THE HEEL OF YOUR FOOT, THAT THE RIGHT OUTTER EDGE OF YOUR SHOE-SOLE CONTACTS THE ACCELERATOR AT THE SAME TIME WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW OR STOP THE VEHICLE. NO UPLOADS OR ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS PROVIDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 LINCOLN TOWN CAR. WHILE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. AFTER THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED NUMEROUS TIMES, THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES WITHIN TWO YEARS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. UPDATED 06/15/16*LJ

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY CAR STARTED JERKING WHILE PRESSING ON THE GAS, THEN CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN, AND POWER SHUT DOWN. SO LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND AVOID A ACCIDENT. SAT FOR AWHILE THEN RESTARTED THE CAR AND DROVE OFF. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ON TO A FREEWAY ,WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE, CAR JERKS AND ACTS AS IF IT WANTS TO SHUT DOWN. ALSO DOOR SENSORS BEEP EVERY TIME YOU GET OUT OF CAR, AND YOU HAVE TO KEEP SLAMMING DOORS IN ORDER FOR INTERIOR, LIGHTS TO GO OFF. DASH READS DOORS ARE STILL OPEN. NO POWER TO MY RADIO AND CANT EVEN GET MY DISPLAY SCREEN TO TURN ON.

AT 110K MILES THE LINCOLN DEALER TOLD ME THAT IT APPEARS THAT MY FRONT COIL SPRINGS HAVE CORRODED AND BROKE ON BOTH SIDES. HE SAID IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE RELATED TO ANY TYPE OF IMPACT (MY VEHICLE IS ACCIDENT FREE) AND APPEARS TO HAVE HAPPENED RECENTLY. THIS SAFETY ISSUE ON MY 5 YEAR OLD CAR SHOULD BE COVERED BY FORD.

2005 NAVIGATOR HAS ONLY 60,000 MILES, SPARK PLUGS DEFECTED, DEALER WANTS $1,500 TO $2,500 TO REPLACE THEM, WHICH IS DEFECT FROM MANUFACTURE. THESE SPARK PLUGS SHOULD BE REPLACED DUE TO DEFECTS FROM MANUFACTURE, AND THE RECALL ONLY WANTS TO PAY $1,040 FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE SPARK PLUGS, WHY SHOULD I PAY UP FRONT IF THEY ARE MANUFACTURE FAULT AND MY NAVIGATOR ONLY HAS 60,00 MILES NOW AND I PURCHASED IT NEW FROM THE DEALER IN 2005.

2007 LINCOLN MKZ. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO A DEFECTIVE PASSENGER AIRBAG SYSTEM REPAIRS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED RECENTLY, THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE DEALER ANALYZED THE ISSUE AND INDICATED THE FRONT PASSENGER RAILS RELATED TO THE ELECTRONIC MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *JB

SYNC 3 NAVIGATION UNIT FAULTED OUT FREEZING SOME OF THE CONTROLS ON THE CENTER STACK. PHONE FUNCTIONS (INCLUDING 911 ASSIST BECAME INOPERATIVE. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WITH VARYING DEGREES OF SEVERITY. UNIT WILL AUTOMATICALLY RESET WHEN CAR IS TURNED OFF AND DOOR OPENED AND CLOSED. LINCOLN'S POSITION: NO FAULT CODE, NO PROBLEM.

I HAD MY 2007 LINCOLN MKZ SINCE 2013 AND I ALWAYS HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY FACTORY WHEELS THAT I BROUGHT FROM A DEALERSHIP WHICH WASN'T EVEN ON THE CARFAX WHEN I BOUGHT NOR THE SALESMAN DID NOT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT THE RIMS HAVING A PROBLEM POKING WHOLE IN ALL 4 TIRES. EVERY 5 DAYS, EVERY 5 DAYS I HAVE TO GO PUMP MY TIRES UP SO THEY WILL NOT BUST. I FIRST NOTICED THIS PROBLEM WHEN I HAD THE ZEPHER, SAME MAKE. I WAS OUT WITH WHO IS MY WIFE NOW, FRONT DRIVER SIDE RIM SHREDDED MY TIRE. WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED. AND IM STILL TODAY STILL HAVING THIS SAME !!FRUSTRATING PROBLEM!! EVERY 5DAYS AND I HAVE TO PAY $135 A WHEEL THAT WASN'T EVEN MY CAUSE OF DOING NOR ON THE CARFAX. !! MY CAR SHOULD COUNT JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER CAR!! !!!AND ITS NOT!!! MY FAMILY AND I WANT A !!!RECALL!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 LINCOLN MKX. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT SMELLED AN OIL ODOR EMITTING FROM THE AIR VENTS IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

WHILE PARKED IN FRONT OF A HOTEL FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING AND THE WINDOWS UP, THE FORWARD HALF OF THE GLASS ROOF EXPLODED OUTWARD WITH A LOUD BANG. LUCKILY, THE SUNSHADE WAS CLOSED SO NO GLASS FELL DIRECTLY THE PASSENGER. THERE WAS NO IMPACT, NO EXTREME TEMPERATURE, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS TO OCCUR... DATE OF OCCURRENCE: 3/31/2016 TIME OF OCCURRENCE: 7:18AM TEMPERATURE AT THE TIME IT HAPPENED: 50 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT PHYSICAL LOCATION: KENT STATE UNIVERSITY HOTEL, 215 S. DEPYSTER ST, KENT, OH AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, I FOUND SO MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR BREAKAGE... INDICATES THAT THERE HAS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OR POSSIBLY THE TEMPERING OF THE GLASS ITSELF. WHILE THERE WAS NO DANGER IN MY SITUATION, IT IS EASY TO SEE HOW THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF IT OCCURRED UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES. I FEEL THIS DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH THE MANUFACTURER.
