YESTERDAY (11/05/2016), I WAS GOING TO GO TO THE STORE. THE CAR STARTED FINE AND RAN FINE AS I BACKED IT OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY, BUT WHEN I WENT DOWN THE STREET IN FRONT OF OUR NEIGHBORS HOUSE, IT SUDDENLY FELT LIKE IT SHIFTED INTO A LOWER GEAR. I TURNED THE CORNER NEXT TO MY NEIGHBORS HOUSE AND PROCEEDED DOWN A HILL THAT'S THERE, BUT THE CAR STILL WOULD ONLY GO VERY SLOWLY. WHEN I GOT DOWN THE HILL, I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS IT SUDDENLY STARTED TO RUN FINE. I DROVE ANOTHER 7 OR 8 BLOCKS UNTIL STOPPING FOR A RED LIGHT, THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED THE WARNING LIGHTS SHOWING A WRENCH AND AN AIRBAG COME ON. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS TO MAKE IT GO, IT AGAIN WOULD ONLY GO AT A VERY SLOW SPEED. BY THE TIME I CROSSED THE STREET, THE LIGHT HAD SWITCHED BACK TO RED. TERRIFIED, I PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT ACROSS THE STREET AND NOTICED THE ODOMETER WAS SHOWING ALL ZEROS. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WENT INTO THE STORE, SHAKING AND VERY SCARED. I CAME BACK OUT PRAYING IT WOULD START UP AND RUN FINE. IT MADE A GRINDING NOISE AND SOUNDED LOUDER, BUT THEN IT STARTED RUNNING FINE AND DID SO ALL THE WAY HOME. I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR TWICE SINCE THEN FOR SHORT DISTANCES BUT HAVEN'T HAD IT HAPPEN AGAIN. WE BOUGHT THIS 2008 LINCOLN MKX USED WITH 92,474 MILES ON IT JUST 3 WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING. WHEN THIS OCCURRED, THERE WAS APPROXIMATELY 92,808 MILES ON IT. THAT'S A WHOPPING 334 MILES PUT ON IT BY US AS WELL AS OTHERS WHO TEST DROVE THE CAR SINCE THIS DEALER LISTED IT FOR SALE. SINCE THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, MY HUSBAND SUSPECTS THE POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTIONED OR A AWD FAULT OCCURRED, AS IT SHOWS IN THE OWNERS MANUAL, BUT SAID HE WOULDN'T RULE OUT OTHER POSSIBLE CAUSES. SINCE WE BOUGHT THIS FROM A USED CAR DEALER, THOUGH WE DID TAKE OUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THROUGH OUR CREDIT UNION, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT RIGHTS EXIST PROTECTING US.

POWER TRAIN UNIT FAILURE - 89K MILES WITH WARRANTY BEING DECLINED DUE TO LUBRICATION ISSUE. APPARENTLY THE FLUID LEAKED AND THERE WAS NO WAY FOR MYSELF TO KNOW THIS AS FLUID IS VERY MINIMAL IN THIS UNIT THAT IT WOULDN'T EVEN SPILL DOWN TO THE GROUND PER THE DEALER.... THIS HAS CAUSED FAILURE TO THE UNIT - THIS IS A HUGE HIT TO THE WALLET AS WELL AS THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN LARGE RATTLING NOISE AND CAR SHAKES.....REPLACEMENT COSTING $1600.00

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LINCOLN MKX. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, AN ABNORMAL SOUND EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE BRAKES AND STEERING BECAME INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE EVENTUALLY STOPPED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 149,000.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVE LETTER AFTER LETTER TELLING MY AIRBAG CAN CAUSE MY DEATH BUT YEARS LATER THE PARTS STILL HAVEN'T ARRIVED. THIS SEEMS UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG BUT THEY CANNOT. HOW MANY PEOPLE SHOULD DIE WAITING FOR PARTS?

TAKATA RECALL; I HAVE CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEIR IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AT THIS TIME. I WANT SOMETHING TO BE DONE. I AM PREGNANT AND HAVE A 2 1/2 YEARS OLD IN THE CAR. I WOULD A REMEDY TO THIS ISSUE THAT DOES NOT PUT MY FAMILY AND I AT RISK OF DEATH!

TAKATA RECALL ALTHOUGH, I HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, WILL THERE BE A SOLUTION SOON. OR WILL I HAVE TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT FOR THERE TO BE A RESOLVE. IS THERE ANY UPDATES. I'VE NEVER BEEN THROUGH THIS.

I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO USED. A FEW WEEKS AGO THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED NEW TIRES SO I BOUGHT NEW TIRES AND THE LAST WEEK THE LIGHT CAME ON TWICE. I WAS JUST TOLD THAT I NOW NEED TO BUY NEW RIMS BECAUSE THE FACTORY ONES ARE NO GOOD. THEY ARE PEELING AND NOW MAKING THE NEW TIRES LEAK AIR. THIS ISN'T MONEY I WAS EXPECTING TO SPEND. THEY NEED TO PUT BETTER RIMS ON THE TIRE SO PEOPLE DON'T KEEP HAVING A SIMPLE ISSUE IF THE COMPANY WOULD BETTER MAKE THEM.

THERE HAS RECENTLY BEEN A RECALL ON FORD/LINCOLN TRUCKS FOR THE BRAKE BOOSTERS BEING BAD. I HAVE A 2008 LINCOLN MKX AND MY BRAKE BOOSTER STARTED MAKING A NOISE LAST WEEK. I TOOK IT IN TO A MECHANIC AND HE TOLD ME THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS FAILING BUT IT MAY NOT GO OUT FOR 6 MONTH OR EVEN YEARS. YOU NEVER KNOW. HOWEVER, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF SOMEONE IS LOOKING INTO THIS OR IF I CAN REQUEST THIS SINCE I HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED A NOTICE FOR MY 2008 LINCOLN MKX AND IT IS A FAULTY PART.

IN JULY 2016 I RECEIVED AN ***IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL*** NOTICE. IT WAS LABELED AS SAFETY RECALL 16S26/ NHTSA RECALL 16V-384 FOR OUR 2008 LINCOLN MKX. THE LETTER GAVE NOTICE OF THAT THE VEHICLE'S PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR MAY RUPTURE IN AN EVENT OF A CRASH NECESSITATING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THE LETTER GAVE INSTRUCTION TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL LINCOLN DEALER TO HAVE THE AIRBAG(S) REPLACED, FREE OF CHARGE. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL LINCOLN DEALER EVERY OCT/NOV OF EVERY YEAR SINCE RECEIVING THE NOTICE, BUT AT EACH VISIT I AM TOLD THAT THE AIRBAG CAN NOT BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT IS NOT IN STOCK AND THAT THE DEALER IS WAITING FOR FORD TO DISTRIBUTE THE RECALLED AIRBAGS FOR REPLACEMENT. I WAS FURTHER INSTRUCTED BY THE DEALER TO CALL FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 800-392-FORD(3673) TO REQUEST FURTHER INFORMATION ON WHEN I CAN REPLACE THE RECALLED AIRBAG. OVER THE PHONE, FORD INSTRUCTED THAT I CONTINUE BRINGING THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL OTHERWISE THEY HAVE NEW AIRBAGS IN STOCK. WE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE EVERY DAY AND MOST OF THE TIME WITH A SPOUSE OR MINOR CHILD IN THE PASSENGER'S SEAT. SINCE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM FORD ON MAY 27, 20112, WE DRIVE ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS FOR BOTH SHORT AND LONG DISTANCES. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT DURING OUR OWNERSHIP. I HAVE SINCE RECEIVED A DUPLICATE LETTER DATED DECEMBER 2017. AND AGAIN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP. AND AGAIN I WAS TOLD THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG WAS NOT IN STOCK. AND AGAIN I WAS TURNED AWAY.
