2016 Lincoln MKX Complaint Log

The contact owns a 2016 Lincoln MKX. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the battery and indicated that the gear selector indicator on the gauge cluster and shifter buttons remained illuminated while the vehicle was off causing the battery to drain. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 85,000.

Have a recall for the emergency brake light coming on due to possible brake line rupture. I took it into the dealership and they told me I needed a battery and the light would go out!!! While the light is still on after 2weeks leaving the dealership. I had an appointment for them to fix the issue with an service loaner to be giving them I was called a day before and they told me a vehicle would not be available cause customers cars had been damaged! Now what do that have to do with an safety issue regarding brakes that may cause me and my family to be in an accident? They have not contacted me other than to tell me my extended warranty will pay for it! That means I have to pay a deductible which I had already given $200 previous for that issue and it wasn’t solved.

TRIED TO CONTACT BOTH THE DEALER AND FORD, NO RESPONSE. WAS LAST NOVEMBER WHEN THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED, WHY ARE THEY DRAGGING THEIR FEET?

FRONT RIGHT BRAKE HOSE SUDDENLY RUPTURED

ENTERING FREEWAY AND CAR STOPPED ACCELERATING. ENGINE WAS ON BUT WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDDLE. COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD AND ENGINE STILL ON BUT NO RESPONSE TO GAS PEDDLE. TURNED CAR OFF AND RESTARTED AND IT RAN NORMALLY. COULD HAVE BEEN A GREAT DANGER IF THERE HAD BEEN HEAVY TRAFFIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 LINCOLN MKX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TURN SIGNAL LAMP WAS INOPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TAYLOR MTR CO-WAYNESVILLE (524 RUSS AVE, WAYNESVILLE, NC 28786) TO BE DIAGNOSED.

I HAVE NOTICED EXHAUST FUMES IN THE CABIN WHEN DRIVING. I DRIVE BOTH HIGHWAY AND CITY, BUT IT IS WORSE ON THE HIGHWAY. I STARTED FEELING TIRES AND FOGGY HEADED EVERY TIME I DROVE. I TRIED RECYCLING AIR AND OPEN AIR BOTH BUT DIDN'T SEEM TO HELP. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGE AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM. SERVICE CONCIERGE SAID THEY HAD ANOTHER 2016 MKX IN AT THAT TIME WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T LOOK AT MY VEHICLE FOR OVER TWO WEEKS AND WOULDN'T HAVE A LOANER CAR UNTIL THEN. I TOLD THEM I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING WITH THE PROBLEM AND WAS OFFERED TWO OPTIONS... LEAVE IT THERE UNTIL THEY COULD LOOK AT IT, WITH NO LOANER CAR, OR FOR TIMES SAKE TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND A LIABILITY IN MY OPINION.

YESTERDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2020, WHILE BACKING FROM A PARKING SPACE THE BRAKES SELF-APPLIED, NO ALARM SOUNDED PRIOR, AND WHILE NOT CLOSE TO ANYTHING. I COULD LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND THE BRAKE WOULD RELEASE SOME. WHEN STRAIGHTENED OUT AND DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE DOWN THE AISLE IT HAPPENED 2 OR 3 MORE TIMES AND GAVE A RED SIDE WARNING LIGHT. DEAD STOPS, ACCELERATOR FELT HARD TO PUSH. HAPPENED BOTH WHEN CARS WERE ON THE SIDE(S) AND NONE CLOSE AT ALL. I GOT TO THE INTERSECTION WITH NO CARS CLOSE ON ALL 4-SIDES. WHEN I PULLED INTO THE INTERSECTION, IT BRAKED TO A COMPLETE STOP AND REFUSED TO MOVE. BY PLAYING WITH THROTTLE AND DRIVE/PARK BUTTONS, I GOT THE CAR MOVING, I PULLED INTO AN OPEN AREA AND SHUT THE CAR OFF, AND RESTARTED. I DROVE HOME, WENT THROUGH AN 8-FOOT GARAGE DOOR, AND PARKED WITH NO MORE PROBLEMS. THIS ALL HAPPENED IN A WALMART PARKING LOT AND EXIT LANE. DUE TO THE HARD BRAKING, IF THERE HAD BEEN CARS BEHIND OR APPROACHING A COLLISION WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE IF THE OTHER DRIVER COULD NOT REACT TO AVOID MY CAR.

NOTHING HAPPENED YET ...TRYING TO SALE THE UNIT BUT CANT BECAUSE THE RECALL HAS NO FIX YET

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 LINCOLN MKX. THE CONTACT INITIALLY RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER:19V809000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) HOWEVER, THE PARTS AT THE TIME WERE UNAVAILABLE. HASSETT FORD (3530 SUNRISE HWY, WANTAGH, NY 11793) WAS CONTACTED NUMEROUS TIMES AND CONFIRMED EACH TIME THAT PARTS WERE NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT THEN STATED THAT SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS INCLUDING THE ABS WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE INTERMITTENTLY ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND HAD HER SERVICE LIGHTS REPAIRED. AFTER THE REPAIR WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THE BRAKES FAILED TO OPERATE WHICH RESULTED IN HER HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE AS AN ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE CONTACT, IN A STATE OF SHOCK, COULD NOT MOVE AFTER IMPACT. THE AUTHORITIES WERE CALLED TO THE SCENE AND A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT DENIED MEDICAL ATTENTION, DESPITE EXPERIENCING NECK PAIN, DUE TO COVID-19; NO OTHER INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE CONTACT'S SON WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO HER HOME.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 35,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 20V469000 (SERVICE BRAKES, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC).

RECALL ISSUED IN AUGUST OF 2020. I HAVE CALLED MONTHLY TO GET OBTAIN AN UPDATE FOR THE AVAILABILITY OF PART NEEDED TO REPAIR MY VEHICLES BRAKES, AND MY DEALERSHIP KEEPS PUSHING THE DATE OF AVAILABILITY BACK. THE DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT PROVIDING A DATE WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE. MY DEALERSHIP IS INSTRUCTED ME TO CHECK MY VEHICLE 'DAILY FOR BRAKE FLUID LEAKS," THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I PURCHASED A "NEW" CAR IN 2016, "NOT A USED CAR," AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO "CHECK MY CAR DAILY" FOR A LEAK IN MY BRAKE FLUID. LINCOLN HAS HAD ALMOST SIX MONTHS TO OBTAIN AND START REPAIRS OF THIS RECALL AND HAS FAILED TO INITIATE THE REPAIR. AS A US CONSUMER I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE WITH THE FEAR THAT MY BRAKES MAY GO OUT, OR FAIL TO STOP TIMELY EVERY TIME I DRIVE. THIS IS NOT A DOOR HANDLE THAT IS LOOSE, THIS IS MY BRAKES, ON MY CAR. PLEASE HELP! LINCOLN NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AND START PROVIDING THE REPAIRS THAT CONSUMERS NEED IN ORDER TO OPERATE A SAFE VEHICLE. THANK YOU.

UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR A MANUFACTURER RECALL REPAIR. GIVEN THE SEVERITY OF THIS RECALL FOR THE FRONT BRAKE FLEX LINES THE AMOUNT OF TIME FROM NOTIFICATION TO CURRENT DATE WITH NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE WHICH IS STILL ON GOING. AS SENIORS WE FEEL THAT OUR CAR IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS WE HAVE BEEN TOLD WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING.

BREAK FLUID COMPLETELY GONE ALL OF A SUDDEN AND BREAKS NOT FUNCTIONING. THE BREAK WENT ALL THE WAY IN WITH OUT ANY RESISTANCE WHILE DRIVING. *TR

THE BATTERY WILL DISCHARGE AFTER THREE TO FIVE DAYS WITHOUT STARTING. THE DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO LOCATE THE BATTERY DRAW AFTER SEVERAL VISITS. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED ON THE FIRST VISIT TO THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THIS ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS, THE ENGINE UNEXPECTEDLY QUIT AND THE GEARS SWITCHED FROM DRIVE TO NEUTRAL ON ITS OWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES SO FAR. IT IS DANGEROUS AND COULD BE LIFE THREATENING.

EXITED OFF FREEWAY BRAKE PEDAL POPPED AND WENT ALL THE TO THE FLOOR. I HAD NO BRAKES! RIGHT FRONT BRAKE LINE SPLIT, LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID AND LOSS OF BRAKES!!! THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED 3 MINUTES SOONER, I WOULD HAVE BEEN GOING 70-80 MPH. THIS SHOULD BE UNDER A RECALL!

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM LINCOLN DESCRIBING THE SAFET ISSUES IN DECEMBER OF 2019. SINCE THEN MY CAR WAS NEVER RECALLED FOR THE SAFETY RECALL REPAIR. SAFETY RECALL 19S/41 / NHTSA RECALL 19V-809

PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT. *BF CONSUMER STATES THAT REPAIRS FOR THE RECALL HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. *DL

WHEN LOADING GROCERIES IN THE TRUNK OF THE SUV, I HAD KEYS IN MY POCKET AND MY 8 YEAR OLD WAS LEANING OVER IN THE TRUNK PUTTING THE BAGS IN THE BACK- HER FEET WERE UNDER NEATH THE BACK OF THE CAR AND THE TRUNK STARTED CLOSING BC I WAS WITHIN RANGE FOR THE HANDLESS ENTRY (WHERE YOU WAVE YOUR FOOT UNDER THE REAR OF THE CAR FOR THE TRUNK TO OPEN) THE TRUNK STARTED CLOSING WITH HER LEANED INTO THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE... I TRIED TO GRAP THE TAILGATE TO GET IT TO STOP AND OPEN BACK UP, IT DIDN'T!!!! IF I HAD NOT OF ACTED SO QUICKLY AND GRABBED HER, THE TRUNK WOULD HAVE SHUT ON HER! THIS IS A MAJOR DANGER AND COULD NOT HAVE TURNED OUT OK!!! THERE NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY FEATURE WHERE IF YOU TOUCH IT TAILGATE IT STOPS CLOSING AND OPENS BACK UP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2016 LINCOLN MKX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE LIFTGATE INADVERTENTLY CLOSED TRAPPING HER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED TWICE AND OTHERS WERE ABLE TO ASSIST HER. HOWEVER, THIS TIME SHE WAS BY HERSELF AND WHEN THE LIFTGATE CAME DOWN, SHE SUSTAINED A BROKEN HIP AND FEMUR WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BOULEVARD FORD LINCOLN OF LEWES (18443 COASTAL HWY, LEWES, DE 19958) WERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER ENGINEER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE ALSO. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SIDE VIEW MIRROR READJUST INDEPENDENTLY WHILE IN REVERSING OUT OF HER DRIVEWAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE SAME DEALER WHERE THE REVIEW MIRROR WAS READJUSTED HOWEVER THE FAILURE RECURRED WHILE DRIVING AND THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO VIEW THE LANES. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT A RECALL NOTIFICATION WAS RECEIVED FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V809000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) HOWEVER, PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PART NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 17,000.

CAR IS GETTING CARBON MONOXIDE IN THE CABIN OF THE CAR WITH A STRONG SULFUR SMELL, ESPECIALLY AFTER HARD ACCELERATION. CAR IS BACK AT LINCOLN FOR THE SECOND TIME TRYING TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THE CAR IS BACK DRAFTING THE FUMES INTO THE CAR AT THE REAR OF VEHICLE.

VEHICLE INFORMATION SYSTEM DISPLAYS DRIVE CONTROL MALFUNCTION HAVE SERVED.

IN MAY AND JUNE OF 2019 ON 2 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, OUR 2016 LINCOLN MKX IGNITION 'TURNED OFF' ON ITS OWN WITHOUT ANY INPUT BY THE DRIVER WHILE USING CRUISE-CONTROL ON A CROWDED HIGHWAY GOING 75 MPH! WHEN IT OCCURRED, A TEXT MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED SUPERIMPOSED OVER THE TACHOMETER THAT READ: 'CAUTION: IGNITION TURNED OFF'. FORTUNATELY, WHEN IT TURNED OFF, THE CAR AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTED INTO 'NEUTRAL' INSTEAD OF 'PARK', WHICH IT DOES AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH IS USED TO TURN THE CAR 'OFF'! AFTER IT SHUT OFF, WE COASTED IN 'NEUTRAL' WITHOUT POWER BRAKES OR POWER STEERING WHILE SURROUNDED BY MACK TRUCKS AND OTHER CARS. THANK GOD THERE WAS A SHOULDER ON THE ROADWAY WHERE WE COULD SAFELY PULL OVER. BEFORE WE COULD ATTEMPT TO RESTART THE CAR, WE HAD TO COAST TO A COMPLETE STOP, PUT THE CAR IN 'PARK', DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND PRESS THE IGNITION BUTTON. HAD WE BEEN IN A WORK-ZONE W/CONCRETE BARRICADES AND NO SHOULDER, WE COULD HAVE BEEN RUN OVER/KILLED BY A MACK TRUCK AND/OR OTHER CAR(S) APPROACHING FROM BEHIND AT HIGH SPEEDS. THE SERVICE MANAGER AT OUR LINCOLN DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS OCCURRENCE, BUT WE EASILY FOUND TWO (2) WEBSITES DISCUSSING THIS ISSUE REGARDING THE MKX. WE CAN ONLY WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE MAY HAVE ALREADY DIED WITH NO EXPLANATION ABOUT WHY THEY WERE AT A FULL STOP ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. BECAUSE WE RESTARTED THE CAR, THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE "ERROR" HISTORY IN THE COMPUTER WAS ERASED - BAD PROGRAMING! BOTH TIMES OUR INCIDENTS HAPPENED, WE HAD BEEN DRIVING ABOUT AN HOUR ON THE HIGHWAY. THE CAR HAS BEEN 'IN THE SHOP' AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR 2 WEEKS, AND WE ARE STILL AWAITING AN EXPLANATION AND FIX. I'M NOT SURE I'LL EVER FEEL CONFIDENT/SAFE ENOUGH TO DRIVE IT AGAIN!

ON 5/11/19, I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 50MPH WHEN THE ENTIRE DASH WENT DARK, WHICH ALSO CAUSED THE ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING (WITH 3/4 TANK OF GAS) AS I LOOKED AT AN 'ALL POWER OFF' DISPLAYED IN THE INFORMATION AREA OF THE DASH (THAT NORMALLY DISPLAYS THE TRIP MILEAGE INDICATOR). I IMMEDIATELY PRESSED THE EMERGENCY FLASH BUTTON WHICH WORKED. FORTUNATELY, I WAS IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE AND HAD ENOUGH SPEED TO SIMPLY COAST TO A SAFE AREA ON THE RIGHT SHOULDER. WITH THE ENGINE NOT RUNNING, I FELT I HAD ONE CHANCE TO USE THE POWER BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE CAR. HAD THIS OCCURRED IN A DIFFERENT PLACE, MY ENTIRE FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED AND NO ONE WOULD HAVE KNOWN THE REASON WAS DUE TO 'CAR FAILURE'. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ENGINE JUST STOPPING THAT HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED WITH CASES SENT TO NHTSA. THEIR FRUSTRATION IN SUMMARY IS THIS: THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAYS THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. TO BE CLEAR; I JUST RECEIVED A CALL FROM MY LINCOLN DEALERSHIP ON 5/15/19, AS THE SERVICE REP SAID THEY CAN'T FIND A COMPUTER ERROR CODE FOR THE PROBLEM, AND THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO AT THIS POINT IF THEY CAN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. AT THIS POINT, I BELIEVE THAT IF YOU SEE SOMETHING FAIL, AND DON'T RESOLVE IT, YOU'LL SEE IT AGAIN. THEREFORE, I DON'T TRUST THIS CAR AS SAFE TO DRIVE. IT IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE OPTION TO HEAR THAT YOUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. THIS MAY REQUIRE YOUR DESIGN ENGINEERS TO BE INVOLVED. THE QUESTION IS SIMPLE, 'WHAT ITEMS CAN CAUSE THE COMPUTER TO 'ALL POWER OFF'. NO MIDDLE GROUND HERE AS IT IS A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE THAT I JUST LIVED THROUGH.

3/8/19 RIGHT FRONT BRAKE LINE AT THE CALIPER SPLIT AT 51,000 MILES, COMPLETE LOSS OF FLUID AND BRAKES WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY. WAS NOT A COVERED REPAIR BY THE DEALER. 5/24/19 LEFT FRONT BRAKE LINE JUST FAILED AT 56,000 MILES. AGAIN A COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID AND BRAKES WHILE DRIVING IN THE CITY.VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER.

THE SUV PTO OR POWER TRANSFER UNIT OVER HEATS LEAKS GEAR OIL AND BURNS ON EXHURST PIPES. HAVE TO PULL OVER TO BREATHE AND LET COOL DOWN. DEALER SAYS IT IS A SEALED UNIT AND SHOULD NOT LEAK. NO WAY TO SERVICE UNIT SO YOU HAVE TO REPLACE FOR OVER $2400 DOLLARS

ON OR ABOUT 10/22/18, TOOK SUV TO DEALERSHIP FOR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. MECHANIC FOUND THAT SUV NEEDED FRONT BRAKES. 1. FRONT ROTORS WERE MACHINED AND NEW BRAKE PADS INSTALLED. ABOUT A WEEK LATER; AS I APPLIED BRAKES CAR STARTED MAKING GRINDING NOISE, NOISE IS INTERMITTENT AND SOUNDS LIKE IT IS COMING FROM FRONT BRAKES. 11/29/18 - TOOK SUV BACK FOR FRONT BRAKE INTERMITTENT NOISE; ROTORS WERE REPLACED AND BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED. ABOUT A WEEK OR TWO LATER, I START GETTING SAME INTERMITTENT BRAKE NOISE (GRINDING). 1/3/19 - I TOOK SUV BACK TO DEALERSHIP FOR BRAKE NOISE, MECHANIC TEST DROVE SUV AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE NOISE. (DID NOT PUT CAR ON LIFT). SERVICE MANAGER RODE WITH ME AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE NOISE. AS I WAS LEAVING DEALERSHIP, BRAKES MADE NOISE AGAIN AND HAS BEEN MAKING NOISE EVER SINCE. NEW BRAKES SHOULD NOT MAKE GRINDING NOISE.

CARBON DIOXIDE COME INTO CAB EVERY TIME YOU PRESS ON GAS.I HAVE CARBON DIOXIDE MONITORS TO PROVE IT HAPPENS LINCOLN HAS TRIED TO FIX IT 3 OR 4 TIMES .THERE ANSWER ,THEY CANNOT FIX PROBLEM THIS PROBLEM HAS SHOWED UP IN OTHER VEHICLES . THE ENGINE IS 6 CYLINDER MODEL

WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 65-70 MPH I CAN HEAR AIR COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE WINDOW WHERE THE FELT MEETS THE WINDOW. UNABLE TO PUT HAD AT WINDOW TO SEE IF AIR CAN BE FELT COMING OUT WINDOW WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 LINCOLN MKX. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, SMOKE APPEARED UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A COOLANT LEAK UNDERNEATH THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, AND THE RADIATOR AND RESERVOIR CONTAINERS WERE EMPTY. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 LINCOLN MKX. WHILE OPENING THE PANORAMIC SUN ROOF, THE CONTACT DETECTED TWO CRACKS ON THE INSIDE OF THE GLASS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LINCOLN SOUTH COAST (1405 AUTO MALL DR, SANTA ANA, CA 92705, (855) 711-9224) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT A ROCK STRUCK THE SUN ROOF GLASS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 22,000.

MULTIPLE TIRE PRESSURE LOSS WITH AS MUCH AS A 25 PSI DIFFERENTIAL . CONSTANT PROBLEM

WE JUST DESCRIBED THIS DANGEROUS, 5 TIMES MALFUNCTION IN A PREVIOUS NOTICE, TODAY. MY ADDRESS IS LISTED SLIGHTLY INCORRECT AND THE 1ST MALFUNCTION WAS OCT 7, 2017, NOT THE 2016, I SEE THAT WAS LISTED. IT WAS PURCHASED IN 2016. THE SPEEDS WERE DIFFERENT. 70 TWICE, 55 TWICE AND 50 ONCE. THE 70'S WERE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON HWY 80 AROUND CHICAGO. *TR

BACK TAIL GATE CAME BACK UP AFTER THOUGHT TO BE CLOSED. CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE LIFT GATE HITTING THE TOP OF THE GARAGE DOOR.

ON OR ABOUT AUGUST 2017, WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED EXHAUST FUMES COMING INTO INTERIOR OF 2016 LINCOLN MKX SUV WHICH SMELLED BAD AND MADE EYES WATER. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP FOR THE PROBLEM: 1. THEY FOUND THAT REAR WELD SEAMS BEHIND LEFT AND RIGHT TAIL LIGHTS WERE CRACKED AND ALSO WELD SEAMS BELOW LEFT AND RIGHT TAIL LIGHTS WERE CRACKED. 2. RUBBER GROMMET WAS MISSING (HOLE) BEHIND LEFT TAIL LIGHT, REAR AIR VENT ON RIGHT SIDE BEHIND TAIL LIGHT WAS NOT WORKING. 3. DEALER SEALED WELD SEAMS ON BOTH SIDES, (LT & RT) INSTALLED BLACK TAPE OVER GROMMET HOLE WITH SEALANT AND REPLACED RIGHT REAR VENT. 4. THEN PRESSURE TESTED INTERIOR FOR LEAKS.

2016 LINCOLN MKX - UNDER HARD ACCELERATION, I AM GETTING EXHAUST FUMES AND ALSO ROTTEN EGG SMELL COMING INTO THE INTERIOR WITH A.C. ON AND IN RECIRCULATE MODE WITH WINDOWS UP. MY SUV ONLY HAS 27,000 MILES ON IT. I SHOULD NOT BE GETTING EXHAUST FUMES OF ANY KIND INSIDE OF MY SUV. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE EXHAUST FUMES INSIDE OF A SUV ARE DANGEROUS.

CAR IS MOVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND SUDDENLY SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY AND STOPS. LUCKILY CAR BEHIND WAS ABLE TO STOP AVOIDING A REAR-END COLLISION. MY WIFE WHO WAS DRIVING DENIES TOUCHING ANY SHIFTING BUTTONS ON THE DASHBOARD. HOWEVER, DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE START/STOP ENGINE BUTTON IT IS VERY POSSIBLE TO TOUCH THE STOP ENGINE BUTTON IF TRYING TO ADJUST THE RADIO OR CLIMATE CONTROLS WHICH ARE LOCATED ADJACENT TO THE STOP/START ENGINE CONTROL BUTTON. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW! WHILE YOU MUST DEPRESS THE BRAKE TO START THE CAR, ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS BRUSH THE CONTROL BUTTON TO STOP EVERYTHING WHILE MOVING.

VEHICLE IN MOTION LOSES ACCELERATION SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS LOSS LEAVES YOU IN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY OR ANY TRAFFIC SITUATION. DATE OF 07/12/17 ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY.DATE OF 06/27/17 INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. 05/19 /17 VEHICLE IN MOTION ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. PROBLEM BEGAN WHEN VEHICLE REACHED 7,000 MILES. WAS INITIALLY TOLD BY ONE DEALER SERVICE TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF VEHICLE WAIT THEN RESTART. NEVER WAS RECALLED BY LINCOLN MOTOR IN SPITE OF NUMEROUS REPORTS BY OWNERS ON CARCOMPLAINTS WEBSITE. WHEN I CONTACTED LINCOLN I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE NTSB TO ISSUE A RECALL. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER WHO MADE THE REPAIR THERE IS A RECALL BULLETIN ON THIS ISSUE TO THE DEALERS . NO RECALL NOTICES WERE EVER SENT TO OWNERS AS 07/29/2017

ENGINE HAS STALLED TWICE WHILE IN OPERATION. FIRST TIME WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE,SECOND TIME WHILE DRIVING FORWARD IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. IN BOTH INSTANCES HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PLACE VEHICLE INTO PARK, SHUT OFF THE IGNITION AND THEN RESTART. BOTH INSTANCES VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. SECOND INSTANCE WAS IN MOVING TRAFFIC AND HAD TO PULL ONTO THE ROAD SHOULDER OUT OF TRAFFIC IN ORDER TO STOP AS VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART WHILE IN MOTION. DEALER CHECKED AND FOUND NO CODES STORED IN THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER, THUS NO ACTION TAKEN TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS CONSIDERED A DESIGN FLAW, BUT I DO CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE. WHILE DRIVING, I HAVE REACHED OVER TO PRESS THE BUTTON TO TURN ON MY RADIO AND MY CAR HAS TURNED OFF AND I HAVE TO COME/ROLL TO A COMPLETE STOP TO RESTART THE CAR. AFTER THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES, I REALIZED I WAS PRESSING THE BUTTON LOCATED NEXT TO THE RADIO BUTTON. THE BUTTON I WAS PRESSING WAS THE START/STOP BUTTON. LUCKILY I HAVE DONE THIS WHILE DRIVING AROUND MY SMALL TOWN, BUT IT WOULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF THIS HAPPENED ON A 4-8 LANE HIGHWAY. IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN, NOW I CONSCIOUSLY LOOK OVER BEFORE I TURN ON MY RADIO WHICH MEANS I TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD FOR A FEW SECONDS. I WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS WHEN I BOUGHT CAR TO AVOID THIS EVER HAPPENING. I AM PROVIDING A PICTURE TO SHOW THE SETUP OF THE BUTTONS. THIS OCCURRED AFTER I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE IN 2017, BUT I HAPPENED UPON THIS WEBSITE AND FELT THIS WARRANTED A COMPLAINT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 LINCOLN MKX. THE CONTACT NOTICED AN ABNORMAL TOXIC ODOR OF STRONG FUMES INSIDE THE VEHICLE WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MORE THAN TWO DEALERS (FIRST DEALER: WALLACE LINCOLN, 5555 US-1, FORT PIERCE, FL 34982, (772) 461-6060 AND SECOND DEALER: PARADISE FORD, 1360 W KING ST, COCOA, FL 32922, (321) 632-2222), BUT THE ODOR ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO INHALE THE TOXIC FUMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT PROVIDE ANY FURTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NO SOLUTION AND WAS UNCERTAIN OF A REPAIR REMEDY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS LESS THAN 250. UPDATED 08/24/17*LJ *JS

AFTER START AND SHORT DRIVE INCLUDING A LEFT THAN RIGHT TURN. AT STOP SIGN, VEHICLE DASHBOARD LIT UP WITH SAFETY WARNINGS, STARTED SHAKING, LOST POWER, AND STARTED ON FIRE. SMOKE BEGAN IN DRIVERS SIDE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND ENGULFED WHOLE ENGINE. VEHICLE WAS SERVICED TWO DAYS PRIOR.

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY 2016 MKX, PURCHASED IN JUNE OF 2016. THE EXHAUST SYSTEM HAS BEEN LEAKING INTO THE CABIN. I ACTUALLY TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE, BUT THE CAR DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE. THEY CLEANED UNDERNEATH THE EXHAUST LINES AND IT HAS IMPROVED. THE VEHICLE IS USUALLY IN MOTION, I LIVE IN AN AREA WITH HILLS USUALLY AFTER CLIMBING UP A HILL OF A CITY STREET. I HAVE NOTICED THE SMELL LINGERING EVEN AFTER I'VE BEEN OUT OF THE CAR. I'VE SEEN ON OTHER SITES WHERE OTHER LINCOLN OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED AS WELL. I'M POSTING THIS MESSAGE AS I BELIEVE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM ISSUE FOR FORD IS BEYOND JUST THE FORD LINE AND ALSO LINCOLN.
