2011 Lincoln MKX Electrical System Problems

The contact owns a 2011 Lincoln MKX. The contact's mother stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, several unknown warning lights unexpectedly illuminated. The contact's mother noticed a burning odor coming from the vehicle and observed that the power outlets were extremely hot. The contact's mother also experienced additional electrical issues with the alarm sounding unexpectedly, the power door locks failing to function properly, and the liftgate closing unexpectedly. The dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.

My dash touchscreen display became inoperable, no radio, no camera, no NOTHING My wiper blades come on by themselves and won't allow me to shut them off. The headlights remain on in the auto position... they won't shut off. Warning Lights on the dash comes on at times (lights up with lots of warnings) I'm no auto professional, but I think my issues are linked. I also, see that years ago there was a body control module recall that mentioned electrical shorts that could possibly cause a vehicle fire. OMG, I believe there's an electrical problem and I am hoping that the recall would cover these issues.

Left front drivers door flies open while driving. Door has already been repaired twice by dealers and problem keeps returning.

tracking system and 911 assist would not work. Vehicle would not start.01

Body Control Module has developed an internal short that is causing safety systems not to work. It is also affecting the heating/ air conditioning, tire pressure monitoring system. This was recalled previously but the manufacturer wont do anything about it. I have had the vehicle at 2 separate dealerships who say the same thing, that the part is not available and can't be repaired. I called Ford directly and they are refusing to do anything about it since the old recall was performed but clearly never fixed the issue.

Bad APIM module

SIGNAL APPEARS ALL THE TIME SAYING DRIVER DOOR AJAR AND NOW THE PANIC ALARM GOES OFF ON ITS OWN MULTIPLE TIMES DAY AND NIGHT. KEY IS IN HOUSE WHEN ALARM GOES OFF. RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE, BUT I AM OVER MILEAGE BY 9,000. PORTSMOUTH FORD IN NH WHO I BOUGHT IT FROM WONT DO THE RECALL WORK.

DOOR AJAR SENSORS ARE FAILING AND NOT ALLOWING ME TO LOCK.

SMELL OF WIRES BURNING, SEAT BURNING SKIN, SCREEN AND OTHER ITEMS NOT WORKING.

DOOR AJAR SENSORS ARE FAILING AND NOT ALLOWING ME TO LOCK THE VEHICLE

FAULTY SUNROOF TRACK ASSEMBLY, UNABLE TO OPEN OR CLOSE BACKUP REAR CAMERA STOPPED WORKING, STATIONARY (PRIOR TO BACKING UP, ONCE PUT IN REVERSE)

DOOR AJAR WARNING ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR KEEPS THE VEHICLE FROM LOCKING WHILE DRIVING - AND ALSO DOES NOT WANT TO LOCK AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SHUT OFF AND IS STAIONARY; I HAD THIS FIXED A YEAR AGO IN 2017 AT GENE MESSER FORD HERE IN AMARILLO AND NOW THE PROBLEM IS BACK; PLEASE ADVISE ASAP.

PASSENGER DOOR SWITCH DEFECTED STAYS ON AT THE DASH CAN NOT LOCK DOORS WHEN DRIVING AND OVER HEAD LIGHTS STAY ON TILL I REACH A CERTAIN SPEED AS WELL AS WHEN I LOCK DOORS THE ALARM GOES OFF FOR NO REASON DUE TO IT PICKS UP THAT THE DRIVER DOOR IS A JAR THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AS AND WHEN YOU INVESTIGATE THIS YOU WILL SEE FOR YOURSELF THIS IS ALL HAPPENING WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED AS WELL AS IN MOTION

MY REAR VIEW CAMERA WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. SOME TIMES IT JUST SAYS CALL THE DEALER.

DOOR LATCH STICKS AND VEHICLE WON'T SENSE THAT THE DOOR IS CLOSED. CLEARLY AN ISSUE FOR FORD BASED ON AN INTERNET SEARCH YET NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO HELP. DAUGHTER AT SCHOOL CAN'T GET INTERIOR LIGHTS TO GO OFF AND CAN'T LOCK DOOR BECAUSE THE CAR THINKS DOOR IS OPEN.

WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, MY VEHICLE STALLED OUT, POWER WENT OUT, LIGHTS, POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND PUT MY VEHICLE IN PARK TO RESTART IT. I WAS DRIVING IN A BUSY AREA AT NIGHT, NO HEADLIGHTS, VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL, MY CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN DUE TO NO POWER.

DOOR AJAR SENSOR HAS STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY. IT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN IT DOES NOT WORK THE DOOR DOES NOT LOCK AUTOMATICALLY AND WHEN ELECTRIC DOOR LOCK ARE ACTIVATED, THE DOOR UNLOCKS.

MY PASSENGER DOOR AGAR SENSOR DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. EVEN IF MY DOOR IS CLOSED, IT REMAINS ON AND I CAN SPEND HOURS OPENING AND CLOSING MY DOOR FOR IT TO REMAIN ON. I CANNOT LOCK THE CAR WHEN UNOCCUPIED SINCE MY ALARM WILL GO OFF WITHIN AN HOUR TRYING TO ALERT ME THAT MY DOOR IS OPEN, EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT. WHILE DRIVING, MY DOORS DO NOT LOCK AND MY LIGHTS REMAIN ON.. MY CHILD COULD OPEN HER DOOR IN THE BACK SEAT WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD BECAUSE OF THEIR FAILURE TO LOCK. I ALSO CANNOT SEE AT ALL AT NIGHTS WITH THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON. THEY DO NOT GO OFF UNTIL I REACH A CERTAIN SPEED, BECAUSE OF THE SENSOR SAYING MY DOOR IS AGAR.

2011 LINCOLN MKX ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SOFTWARE RECALL LINCOLN ISSUED A RECALL (10V659000) NHTSA CAMPAIGN #11V128000 WHICH REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF AFFECTED BCMS MAY HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR AN INTERNAL SHORT. IF AN ELECTRICAL SHORT DEVELOPS, AN OVERHEATING CONDITION MAY OCCUR WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE FIRE. OUR LINCOLN STARTED TO DEVELOP ISSUES ONLY A FEW WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE. THE TURN SIGNAL WOULD REPEATEDLY BURN OUT. THE DEALERSHIP WE PURCHASED FROM REPLACED THE BULB & HOUSING SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO PERMANENT FIX. AFTER SOME RESEARCH WE FOUND THE RECALL NOTICE & CALLED LINCOLN DIRECTLY. AS IT TURNS OUR THE CAR (VIN NUMBER & ALL FIT THE CRITERIA FOR THE RECALL PER FORD) HOWEVER LINCOLN REFUSES TO FIX THE AFFECTED MODULE BECAUSE THE CAR IS ORIGINALLY FROM CANADA! WE LIVE 1 HOUR AWAY FORM CANADA, SO IAM SURE WE ARE NOT THE FIRST TO BUY A CAR IN THE US THAT ORIGINATED IN CANADA. AT THIS POINT WE DO NOT EVEN FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR IT WILL CATCH FIRE. THE SIGNAL & RUNNING LIGHTS BURN OUT EVERY 2-3 WEEKS. VERY SCARY! WE CANNOT IN GOOD FAITH TRADE THE CAR IN EITHER WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THIS INFORMATION. THE MECHANICS THAT HAVE LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE STATED THAT THERE IS EVIDENCE OF AN ACTUAL FIRE AROUND THE TURN SIGNAL HOUSING.
