2010 LINCOLN MKX Problems & Complaints

I am satisfied with the help that the customer service assisted me with and that was getting my service moved up to September 26th from the original date of October 30th. But I am not satisfied with the remedy. I have received several written letters from Lincoln that go into detail of the recall on my car and as well they say and in BIG RED LETTERS ..DO NOT DRIVE YOUR CAR UNTIL REPAIRS ARE DONE. WELL, I should say that you see my 2010 Lincoln Mkx is my and only vehicle I own I can not just park it up and forget I have a life and a job because of no fault of my own that my one and only car urgently is needing repair to the factory installed air bags. Therefore I ask Lincoln to assist me with a rental until my car had been repaired. I do not feel safe DRIVING MY CAR.Letter's I have on hand from Lincoln plainly stating DO NOT DRIVE. I am upset Lincoln ortrays they care so much to bombard me with all the recall letters and such but pretty much told me NO WE DONT DO RENTAL CARS So what I am to do??? I don't have rental coverage on my insurance. I couldn't afford it. So what choice do I have??? If I do die from their faulty air bags imploding on me atleast make sure my children and grandchildren knew I begged for a rental but Lincoln couldn't back me with that. I guess making luxury car's for so many years has not left them with much profit Seeing as how in a life or death situation brought on by their mistake they leave their customers to chance it because it cost to much for rentals to ensure their customers are kept safe until their car is serviced and safe to drive. They have no compassion for people is how I am feeling about this whole situation. Only covering themselves legally in the cheapest fix possible to avoid legal issues. Guess Lincoln owners are just numbers and dollar signs and not mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, aunt or uncles or grandparents that are loved and would be missed severely in the event of their death by a recalled air bag.

My car was t-boned and pushed into oncoming traffic. I was knocked unconscious by air bag deployment and it caused brain injury, damage to my breast.

O.C. Welch Ford-Lincoln of Hardeeville, SC 29927 has not completed the safety recall on the airbags for the 2010 Ford Lincoln MKX. After trying to get them to repair the airbags for over a year, they finally fixed the passenger side airbag. They originally stated they had the parts to fix driver's side, but told us they were on back-order. They said they would get in touch with us once the parts came in. It has been over 5 months and we have not heard anything from them in regards to fixing the driver's side airbag.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2010 Lincoln MKX. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V158000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

The contact owned a 2010 Lincoln MKX. The contact stated while driving at 30 MPH and crossing an intersection, another vehicle crashed into the passenger’s side of the vehicle and pushed the vehicle into oncoming traffic. As a result, another vehicle crashed into the driver’s side of the vehicle. The contact was knocked out unconscious. The contact was later informed that the driver’s side air bag had exploded and projected sharp fragments that caused injuries to her body. The contact was transported to the hospital with the assistance of emergency units. The contact was diagnosed with a subdural hematoma on both sides of the brain, six broken ribs, bruised sternum, subdural hematoma on the right breast, knee injuries, neck stenosis, bruises on the ankle, and on the entire right side of the body. Additionally, the contact sustain brain hemorrhage that required brain surgery. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot where it was totaled. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 133,000. The contact stated that the passenger side airbags were replaced. While waiting for the parts to replace the driver side airbags, the accident occurred and caused harm to the contact.

Brakes are extremely hard to use, takes both feet to stop vehicle, once stopped the engine will stall while brake is touched, must put vehicle in park when stopped.

The brake pedal is very difficult to depress. You have to push very hard for the car to come to a stop. The brakes do not work correctly causing not stopping when pressed. Safety issue for myself and others on the road. My car now has 122,890 miles on it. There was a recall that expired 2015. Never repaired under the recall, before I took ownership.

I was driving my 2010 Lincoln MKX in heavy traffic when the signal light turned red. When I pushed the brake to stop it was very stiff and I almost hit another vehicle. I could have been seriously injured if I had it another car because there is another safety recall on this vehicle relating to the driver airbag spewing shrapnel in a front end collision. I have had the recall notice regarding the air bag for almost a year already. Ford motor company deemed my vehicle safe to drive with this airbag issue. As it turns out, the brake booster bladder has a tear in it. I purchased the vehicle in 2020 and never was never sent a recall notice on the brake booster even though Ford Motor Company knew about it. According to what I have read online, Ford Motor decided that the recall was only good for a specific amount of time. How can that possibly be the case. This is a safety issue that should be covered for the life of the vehicle. Someone needs to do something about this before someone is seriously injured or killed.

THE BRAKES ARE SPONGY WHEN PRESSURE IS APPLIED. A RECALL IS IN PLACE FOR VEHICLES PRODUCED IN THE SAME PLANT AS OUR VEHICLE. THE RECALL BEGINS WITH MAY PRODUCTION IN 2010, OUR CAR CAME FROM THAT PLANT IN APRIL 2010. PLEASE EXTENT RECALL TO COVER OUR VEHICLE FOR THE IDENTICAL PROBLEM, FROM THE IDENTICAL PLANT. AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP FOUND THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE OWNED VEHICLE LESS THAN 2 YEARS AND IT IS DRIVEN LESS THAN 2000 MILES PER YEAR. *TR

STARTING IN EARLY FALL 2019, MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH BREAKS, REPLACED ALL PADS & ROTORS NOW X 2. BREAK PEDDLE HAS INTERMITTENT SPONGY FEEL- ISN'T CONSISTENT PRESSURE, SOMETIMES IS SUPER HARD TO PRESS DOWN, OTHER TIMES PRESS IT FOR A LONG TIME AND THE VEHICLE ISN'T STOPPING. PEDDLE MAKES A HISS NOISE AND SOMETIMES STRANGE CLICKS WITH VERY INCONSISTENT PRESSURE. RE- REPLACED ALL BREAK PADS AGAIN 2/24/20, OUR MECHANIC NOTIFIED US ITS THE BREAK BOOSTER PART FAILURE. THIS IS KNOWN YEAR AND PART FAILURE FOR OUR MKX. I'VE CALLED LINCOLN. THEY REFUSE TO OFFER US THE EXTENDED WARRANTY REPAIR UPFRONT, EVEN THOUGH WE'VE PAID FOR BREAKS X2 IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS. THIS IRREGULAR BRAKE PEDDLE PROBLEM OCCURS ON ALL ROADS FREEWAY/ SIDE STREETS. OUR VEHICLE HAS 100K MILES ON IT, WELL UNDER THEIR 150K MILE WARRANTY FOR THIS PART AND IS 10 YEARS. LINCOLN WE'D HAVE TO SUBMIT THE RECEIPT AND MAYBE THEN OUR VIN WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL WARRANTY AFTERWARD. I FEEL THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND OUR FAMILY IS EXTREMELY JEOPARDIZED AND LINCOLN IS TRYING TO AVOID RESPONSIBILITY TO FIX THIS KNOWN PART FAILURE AT ANY LENGTH. (CALLED MICHEAL AT LINCOLN CARE ON 2/27/20 CASE #CAS25802085-V3K5D6) WE ALSO HAD PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS CAR FOR 36 MONTHS (BUT HAVE JUST 4K MILES OVER THE MILES LIMIT), ONLY MONTH 28. WE FEEL LINCOLN IS INTENTIONALLY BEING DISHONEST TOWARDS THEIR QUALITY AND SAFETY OF THEIR PRODUCT MKX. I'M WORRIED THAT THERE WILL BE AN ACCIDENT. I'M NOT EVEN ASKING TO COMPENSATED FOR 2 SETS OF BRAKES IN A FEW MONTHS, I AM ASKING FOR THE KNOWN FAILED BRAKE BOOSTER PART TO BE REPLACED THROUGH THE LINCOLN WARRANTY (SB-10054925) FOR LINCOLN TO STAND BEHIND THEIR CAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND OTHERS ON THE ROADWAY.

The front seat when we had to come to a stop the seat bounced forward and then back. Very dangerous. This should be a recall. I have many read letters of this happening for many others. It is an accident waiting to happen.

FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS, MY DRIVER'S SEAT HAS MADE A METAL ON METAL LOUD SLIPPING NOISE WHEN MAKING TURNS AND BRAKING. THE DEALER ADVISED ME (OUT OF WARRANTY) THAT IT WAS A BROKEN SEAT TRACK AND IS COMMON OCCURRENCE. I LIVED WITH THE ANNOYANCE, BUT IT HAS RECENTLY TURNED MUCH WORSE ALLOWING THE SEAT TO MOVE A GREATER DISTANCE AND MORE FREQUENT. I AM AFRAID THE SEAT WILL COME APART OR NOT WITHHOLD IN AN ACCIDENT. MANY FORUMS IDENTIFY THIS ISSUE AMONGST MANY FORD AND LINCOLNS.

THE SEATS SHIFT BACKWARD WHEN ACCELERATING AND MOVE FORWARD WHEN BRAKING, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. FORD REFUSES TO FIX OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT READING ONLINE THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE.

THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SEATS TILT BACKWARDS DURING ACCELERATION (USUALLY HARD START). THE SEATS WOULD ALSO TILT FORWARD ON HARD BRAKING. AFTER SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND A LOT OF FORD AND LINCOLN OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ISSUE ON BOTH LOW AND HIGH MILEAGE CARS. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ON ALL LINCON MKX AND FORD EDGE. IT SEEMS FROM THE COMMENTS ON VARIOUS ONLINE FORUMS THE PROBLEM IS MORE COMMON IN CARS WITH POWER SEATS. I AM AFRAID THAT WITH THE "PLAY" IN THE SEAT TRACKS, THE CAR WOULD BECOME UNSAFE DURING AN ACCIDENT. IT SEEMS SOME FORD DEALERSHIP ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE ALREADY AND CONSIDER IT "NORMAL" BEHAVIOR, SOME ARE FIXING IT UNDER WARRANTY. OWNERS WITH NO WARRANTY ARE EXPOSED TO POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS DEFECT OF THE VEHICLE.

I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE RIGHT PLACE TO PRESENT THIS ISSUE, BUT WILL EXPLAIN MY CONCERN HERE. I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE LOCATION OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT LOCATION IN MY LINCOLN MKX. I AM 6'2" TALL AND HAVE LONG LEGS. I HAVE HAD A KNEE REPLACEMENT WHICH LEFT ME WITH REDUCED RANGE OF MOTION IN MY LEG. MY ISSUE IS THAT I CANNOT STRAIGHTEN MY LEG OUT ENOUGH TO BE COMFORTABLE WHILE DRIVING DUE TO THE LIMITED REARWARD MOTION OF THE SEAT. IN SPEAKING WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, HE SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT FORD/LINCOLN DIRECTLY. IN DOING SO, THEY ADVISED THAT CONTACT YOU PEOPLE AT THIS E-MAIL ADDRESS. IT IS MY INTENTION TO POINT OUT THIS MATTER TO YOU AND SEEK SOME ADVICE AND DIRECTION. MY PROPOSAL IS TO RAISE THE SEAT HEIGHT APPROXIMATELY 3" AND ADD A PIECE OF FLAT METAL UNDER THE SEAT TRACK WHICH COULD BE REDRILLED TO ALLOW THE SEAT TO MOVE REARWARD APPROXIMATELY 3+". THESE MODIFICATIONS WOULD USE THE SAME HOLES IN THE SEAT TRACK AND THE ATTACHMENT LOCATIONS IN THE FLOOR THAT EXIST NOW. ANY REPLACEMENT BOLTS THAT WOULD BE USED WOULD OF EQUAL GRADE OF THE ORIGINAL BOLTS. THIS MODIFICATION WOULD ALLOW ME TO SIT HIGHER AND FURTHER BACK FROM THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS WHILE ALLOWING MY LEG TO BE STRAIGHTER, THEREFORE MORE COMFORTABLE. I HAVE SEEN THIS TYPE OF MODIFICATION DONE ON OTHER VEHICLES AND IT WORKS. IF DONE PROPERLY IT WOULD NOT ALTER THE LEVEL OF SAFETY IN THE VEHICLE. AT THIS POINT FORD/LINCOLN WILL NOT SUPPORT THIS MODIFICATION WITHOUT MY PRESENTING THE IDEA TO YOU PEOPLE FOR YOUR SUPPORT ON THE MODIFICATION. IF YOU COULD REVIEW THIS REQUEST AND ADVISE ME ON THIS MATTER BY RETURN E-MAIL, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. *TR

TRANSMISSION RANGE SENSOR BAD- -ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE, VEHICLE STOPPED MOVING, TWICE ON HIGHWAY (MOVING IN MIDDLE LANE), TWICE ON DOWNHILL EXIT RAMP (STOPPED AT RED LIGHT), AND TWICE ON CITY STREET INCLINE (IN MOTION), YELLOW WRENCH INDICATOR FLICKERED ON AT LEAST TWO OF THESE OCCASIONS WHICH DEALER SAID RECORDED A KNOWN PROBLEM, COST TO REPLACE SENSOR $930.40

VEHICLE STARTED MAKING HUMMING SOUND WHILE ACCELERATING AT LOW SPEED. NOTICED A LEAK OF VERY DARK FLUID THE FOLLOWING DAY. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A LEAKING PTU (POWER TRANSFER UNIT). I'VE LOOKED INTO THIS AND THERE APPEARS TO BE A ISSUE WITH THE DESIGN ON THE SEALS. IT APPEARS TO BE A PREVALENT ISSUE WITH FORD EDGE/LINCOLN MKX THAT HAS NOT BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED/CORRECTED BY FORD. I'VE ATTACHED A LINK SHOWING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND SOME EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE LOSING POWER/ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING. HTTP://GOTACLASSACTION.COM/15796-2/. *TR

PTU (POWER TRANSFER UNIT) WHICH IS A NONSERVISABLE UNIT FAILS AND HAS BEEN ON NUMEROUS VEHICLES. THIS FAILUR HAS THE POTENTIAL OF CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUE TO IT POSSIBLY LOCKING UP AND CAUSING A VEHICLE LOSE OF CONTROL. I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY AND DIDN'T NOTICE AN ISSUE UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN TO GET OFF WHEN I HEARD A GRINDING NOISE. TRANSMISSION SHOP TOLD ME I WAS LUCKY MINE DIDN'T LOCK UP.

TRANSMISSION SLIPPING,THEN SLAMMING INTO GEAR. LIKE EVERYONE THAT HAS THIS PROBLEM, AND THERE ARE MANY FORD EDGE AND LINCOLN MKX FORUMS ON VARIOUS WEB SITES HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CANT FIND ANY PROBLEM. OR THEY SAY IT IS NORMAL, ARE THEY FOR REAL...IM TAKING THE TSB INFO TO THEM THIS WEEK AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY. DONT THEY EVEN READ THESE TSB REPORTS? HERE IS FIVE THAT I HAVE FOUND SO FAR. TSB 10-21-2 10-9-9 11-5-6 11-12-10 SB-21430 NEVER SEEN ANYTHING ON THE SERVICE WRITE UP ABOUT THESE TSB ISSUES AFTER I PICKED UP MY MKX. THEY RESET THE COMPUTER AND SEND YOU ON YOUR WAY AND IT WILL RUN FINE FOR A THOUSAND MILES AND START THE SLIP AND SLAM AGAIN. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME AND THAT IS THE PROBLEM WHEN YOU TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. WORKING WITH FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONS CENTER ON THIS ISSUE. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LINCOLN MKX. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING AT A RED LIGHT WITH THE CONTACT DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED FORWARD.

THE LINCOLN IN QUESTION BELONG TO MY WIFE WHO IS THE TITLE HOLDER OF THE CAR. I WAS USING MY WIFE'S CAR ON 06/14/2018 AND WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING AREA AT UNION AND LIBERTY STREET IN MILFORD, MI,I CAME TO THE STREET AT THE END OF THE PARKING AREA, I PUSHED THE BREAK TO STOP SO THAT I COULD CONTINUE ONTO UNION STREET AS SOON I APPLIED THE BREAK, THE CAR ACCELERATED AT HIGH SPEED BACKWARD AND EVEN THOUGH I WAS PRESSING THE BREAK IT DIDN'T STOP UNTIL CRASHING INTO A HOME NEXT TO THE PARKING AREA. THE SPEED OF ACCELERATION WAS SO INTENSE THAT FROM START TO FINISH IT WAS OVER IN A MATTER OF SECONDS.I WAS SO SHOOK UP THAT THAT MY MIND WAS NOT ABLE TO COMPUTE WHAT HAD JUST HAPPENED. THE CAR WAS DAMAGED ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE OF THE CAR, BUT IT TOOK OUT PORCH AND THE WINDOW AREA OF THE HOUSE.THE CAR SHOWED NO DAMAGE THAT WOULD PREVENT IT FROM BEING ABLE TO DRIVE, YET WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE A FEW BLOCKS TO MY HOME, THE POWER STEERING WASN'T WORKING AND THE CAR KEPT STEERING TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. THIS LED ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING WORNG WITH THE ENGINE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LINCOLN MKX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THERE WAS A DELAYED RESPONSE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED AND OTHER GAUGES BECAME INOPERATIVE FOR A BRIEF MOMENT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000. ....UPDATED 10-27-15 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM WAS THE ELECTRIC THROTTLE BODY. THE CONSUMER HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET, FOR THE REPAIRS. UPDATED 11/03/15.*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LINCOLN MKZ. WHILE STOPPED AND IN REVERSE WITH THE BRAKES APPLIED, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED AND CRASHED INTO A CONCRETE WALL. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE LEFT ARM. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL AUTO BODY SHOP. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

The manufacturer was contacted however, the contact was not able to speak to a live representative. The failure mileage was approximately 159,000.

DRIVING AT NIGHT HEADLIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER AND THEN WENT OUT. 1ST LEFT SIDE THEN RIGHT SIDE. SOLDER CONNECTING HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY TO ELECTRICAL WIRING DISSOLVED. PER FORD DEALERSHIP THE SOLDER IS DISSOLVING BECAUSE THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITRY IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY OVERHEATED CAUSING THE SOLDER CONNECTION TO FAIL. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. THE FIRST TWO TIME THE DEALERSHIP RE-SOLDERED THE CONNECTION. THE THIRD TIME THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WITH A NEW ER HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WITH UPDATED INTERNAL CIRCUITRY FROM MY CONVERSATION WITH THE FORD DEALERSHIP THIS HAD HAPPEN IN THE HIGHER END MODELS OF THE LINCOLNS THAT ARE A FEW YEARS OLD. WHY DID I HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO HAPPEN THREE TIMES BEFORE THEY TOLD ME IT IS AN INTERNAL DESIGN DEFECT OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT ASSEMBLY FOR BOTH SIDES IS AROUND $2,300. I GOT CAUGHT WITH THIS TWICE LATE AT NIGHT, I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT WAS THE HEADLIGHT BULBS. FORTUNATELY, I WAS STILL RELATIVELY CLOSE TO HOME, AND NOT HALFWAY INTO MY 180 TRIP I WAS STARTING OUT ON. THIS HAPPENED AROUND 4 IN THE MORNING WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON A RURAL HIGHWAY WITHOUT STREET LIGHTS. NOT VERY PLEASANT DRIVING WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LINCOLN MKX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT FAILED. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE HE REALIZED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS WAS MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO VERIFIED THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,000. THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE LOW BEAM MELTED INTO THE LIGHT BULB. UPDATED 07/18/12

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR STARTED RUNNING WEIRD AND HAD NO POWER. PULLED OVER AND THERE WAS STEAM COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE COOLANT JUG WAS EMPTY. CHECKED THE OIL AND IT IT WAS MILKY AND STEAMING AS WELL.

ENGINE TEMPERATURE SUDDENLY SPIKED AND THE ON-BOARD COMPUTER SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING ON LOCAL HIGHWAY. SPEED ABOUT 45 MPH AND WAS ABLE TO PULL TO SHOULDER. OPENED HOOD AND FOUND THE COOLANT RESERVOIR EMPTY SO ADDED WATER AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE THREE MILES TO HOME. ADDED ADDITIONAL COOLANT BUT SHORTLY THEREAFTER (5 - 7 MILES OF DRIVING) THE ENGINE STARTED TO RUN ROUGH AND ENDED UP HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO THE LINCOLN/FORD DEALERSHIP.THE DEALER REPORTS THAT THE WATER PUMP WHICH IS INTERANAQL HAS FAILED RESULTING IN COOLANT AND DEBRIS ENTERING THE CRANKCASE AND CONTAMINATING THE ENGINE OIL. ON-LINE RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP ESTIMATES THAT THE REPAIR COST WILL BE $3,100.00 BUT THIS IS FOR THE WATER PUMP AND MOTOR OIL ONLY AND DOES NOT ADDRESS ANY ABRASION OR DAMAGE TO THE CAM SHAFT.

I was Driving in my 2010 Lincoln MKX January 16,2023 and the front sunroof exploded i hear a loud sound but when I looked up the front sunroof shattered, it all most caused me to have a car accident but I maintain and pull over to the side road. I really think that the manufacture done properly on the sunroof I was not using the sunroof because it’s cold outside !

THE VEHICLE WAS IN OUR GARAGE WITH THE DOOR CLOSED AND THE REAR HATCH WINDOW SHATTERED. THE WINDOW IS COMPLETELY SHATTERED WITH TWO SOFTBALL SIZED HOLES WHERE THE GLASS WAS BLOWN OUT ONTO THE GARAGE FLOOR. NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR NOR THE GARAGE WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND THERE WERE NO ITEMS IN THE CAR THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE DAMAGE. WE HAVE NOT MOVED THE VEHICLE HOPING LINCOLN WOULD CARE ENOUGH TO COME AND SEE WHAT HAS HAPPENED. THEY TOLD US THEY WOULD NOT SEND ANYONE TO VIEW THE WINDOW. THE CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD POSSIBLY INJURE A PASSENGER. THIS REPORT IS PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF OUR EXPERIENCE. *TR

No sensor on this year of Lincoln However front blind spot between windshield and rear view outside mirror is horrible which resulted in my accident 2 days ago...I have 2 witnesses that can confirm such difficulty seeing while turning

First it was the alarm system it would lock me out the car. Then it was the air conditioning it would only turn on when it wanted too. Then I would press the seat cooler and it malfunctioned and I had a second degree burn on my lower back. Then the check engine light came on and it started to overheat. I pulled over turned off the ignition and the car was still running. That happened twice my mechanic would come turn the car off even by disconnecting the battery the car was still on somehow he had to disconnect another part for car to turn off. He told me not move it anymore. 15 to 20 minutes later the car was on fire and the fire department came and turned it off. I bought the car on 4/24/2021 and it was on fire on 05/27/2021.

THE SUV WILL MAKE A NOISE WHEN BRAKING. ALSO SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT STOP THE SUV AND I'VE HAD TO HIT A DITCH TO AVOID A CAR CRASH

I LOVE MY LINCOLN MKX. HIGH PERFORMANCE VEHICLE OF SAFETY AND LUXURY AND IN COMFORT AND STYLE. I LOVE IT. HOWEVER, MY GAS IS TERRIBLE AND THE CAR ACTS LIKE IT IS GOING TO LOOSE POWER AS THE GAS ISN'T GETTING A FULL LINE TO GO THROUGH. I HAVEN'T HAD THIS PROBLEM UNTIL 2-3 MONTHS AGO. MY GAS MILEAGE IS VERY POOR NOW> TO HAVE THIS FIXED THERE GAS BEEN A SAFETY RECALL FOR OVER 1 YEAR MAYBE 2 YEARS NOW. I HAVE BEEN ON A TOI CALL LIST AGT LOCAL DEALER TO GET IT FIXED. WHEN IS THIS GOING TO HAPPEN., YOU GUYS OWE ME TONS OF WASTED GAS.

MY BREAKS SOUND LIKE AIR IS FLOWING OUT WHEN I PUSH ON THEM & THE LOCK UP , THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH TONS OF MKX !! SO WHY IS THERE NO RECALL!!!! MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE OTHER DAY AND THE BREAKS COMPLETELY LOCK UP IN HER , SHE ALMOST WREAKED!!! I KNOW THERE ARE RECALLS ON OTHER MKX 2010!! THERE NEEDS TO BE ONE IN ALL OF THEM BECAUSE SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET HURT DUE TO THEM!!

EXTREMELY LOUD BANGS, LIKE GUNSHOTS, SEEM LIKE FROM FRONT EDGE OF SUNROOF, REPEATING ABOUT EVERY 10 SECONDS, SEVERAL TIMES PER INCIDENT. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST 24 MONTHS (2015--2017). SO FAR, THE GLASS HAS NOT BROKEN. VEHICLE IS NEARLY ALWAYS PARKED IN AN OUTSIDE PARKING LOT WITH IGNITION TURNED OFF WHEN IT HAPPENS. HOWEVER, TWICE IT HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AT MODERATE SPEED ON CITY STREETS. SLIDING HEADLINER UNDER SUNROOF HAS ALWAYS BEEN CLOSED DURING THESE INCIDENTS. NOTE: THE REQUIRED DATE TYPED BELOW INTO YOUR STANDARD FORMAT REPORT, 01/01/2016, IS MEANINGLESS.

TAKATA RECALL, NHTSA RECALL NO. 16V384, LINCOLN RECALL NO. 16S26 11-23-16, I TURNED STEERING WHEEL TO BEGIN TO PARK IN SHOPPING MALL GARAGE. DRIVER AIRBAG IMMEDIATELY DEPLOYED PRIOR TO IMPACT WHICH CAUSED ME TO HIT THE CONCRETE WALL AHEAD. THERE WERE NO OTHER PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE. RECALL NOTICE RECEIVED JULY 2016 ON PASSENGER AIRBAG. OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVER AIRBAG ALSO. WE CONTACTED LINCOLN DEALER WHEN WE RECEIVED THE NOTICE & ALSO CONTACTED ATHEM AN ADDITIONAL 2 ' 3 TIMES TO CHECK ON STATUS OF RECALL REPAIR WITH NO RESULTS. WAS TOLD PARTS HAD NOT BEEN RECEIVED YET & THAT WE WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL REPAIR.

DRIVER'S DOOR AJAR WARNING SHOWING ON CONTROL PANEL

UPON MORNING START UP, THERE IS A HIGH PITCH WHISTLING SOUND WHICH LASTS APX THE FIRST 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING TIME.IT CAN BE HEARD INSIDE & OUTSIDE THE CAR & WITH THE RADIO ON OR OFF.I HAVE COMPLAINED SINCE ABOUT FEB 2014 ABOUT THIS SOUND WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER ITS BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY.I REQUESTED EACH TIME THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAVE A FEMALE LISTEN FOR THE NOISE AND THEY DID NOT DO THAT.IT IS A KNOWN FACT THAN MEN LOSE THEIR HEARING IN THE HIGH FREQUENCIES THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMING MY INITIAL MAINTENANCE DID NOT NOTE THIS ISSUE ON THE REPAIR ORDER, ALTHOUGH I REPORTED IT TO THEM SEVERAL TIMES.THE SECOND DEALERSHIP HAD A FEMALE EMPLOYEE LISTEN FOR IT; SHE WAS ABLE TO HEAR AND POINT OUT THE SOUND TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR WHO THEN DID HEAR THE SOUND.THEY ARE NOT CERTAIN, BUT BELIEVE THAT THE SOUND IS COMING FROM THE FUEL PUMP INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. SINCE THIS IS NOT LOOKED UPON AS A FAILURE, ONLY A NUISANCE, I AM TOLD IT IS NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND FRANKLY, I FEEL IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED UNDER MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY! I FOUND THIS EXACT COMPLAINT IN TWO YOU TUBE VIDEO RE: 2008 FORD EDGE HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=ROCO7_TGJHG AND HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=HQCUNSY1ENC .ACCORDING THE TO PERSON WHO POSTED THESE 2 VIDEOS, HIS DEALERSHIP COULD NOT IDENTIFY/FIX THE PROBLEM, SO HE SOLD HIS 2008 FORD EDGE. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS NOT A "NORMAL" OR ACCEPTABLE SOUND TO LISTEN TO EACH MORNING AT START UP. I FEEL THIS SOUND IS ACTUALLY DAMAGING MY HEARING SINCE I AM EXPOSED TO IT FOR SO LONG EACH DAY. CONTINUAL SOUNDS LIKE THIS ARE NOT HEALTHY FOR THE EARS! SINCE IT IS AGAINST THE LAW, I CANNOT DRIVE WITH EARPLUGS TO MINIMIZE THE DAMAGE TO MY HEARING. THIS IS THE 3RD ISSUE I AM REPORTING REGARDING THIS VEHICLE. THE OTHER TWO REGARD THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT INTERMITTENTLY ROCKING WHILE DRIVING. *TR

THE PARKING BRAKE ON MY LINCOLN MKX WILL NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE ON A SLOPE. THE DEALER AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY SAY THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT. ACCORDING TO THEM, THE BRAKE IS DESIGNED TO FUNCTION WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS IN PARK. USING THE TRANSMISSION TO HOLD THE CAR DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE FEDERAL REGULATIONS FOR PARKING BRAKES WHICH ARE QUITE CLEAR. THE REGS STATE THAT: "EVERY COMBINATION OF MOTOR VEHICLES MUST BE EQUIPPED WITH A PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM ADEQUATE TO HOLD THE VEHICLE OR COMBINATION ON ANY GRADE ON WHICH IT IS OPERATED, UNDER ANY CONDITION OF LOADING IN WHICH IT IS FOUND ON A PUBLIC ROAD (FREE OF ICE AND SNOW)." THERE IS NO MENTION OF THE TRANSMISSION OR PARK IN THE REGULATIONS. THE BRAKES ALONE WILL NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE SO THE VEHICLE IS QUITE DANGEROUS. PROPERTY AND PEOPLE WILL BE DAMAGED. THE SAME BRAKING SYSTEM IS USED ON THE FORD EDGE. *TR

DESIGN FAILURE. LINCOLN MKX INSTRUMENT PANEL DOES NOT LIGHT UP IN THE DAYTIME. CONSEQUENTLY, IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE SPEEDOMETER AND KNOW HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING, ESPECIALLY IN BRIGHT SUNSHINE AND TRAVELING N OR S AS THE SPEEDOMETER IS IN DEEP SHADOW. THE POTENTIAL FOR EXCESSIVE SPEED ACCIDENTS IS GREAT! *TR
