I currently own and am driving a 2014 Lincoln Mks, my fourth such vehicle over the past several years. Lincolns have been one of my favorite vehicles however, I am writing to bring to your attention a recurring issue with the climate control system that may warrant further review as a potential safety-related defect. Many owners, including myself, have experienced a situation where the vehicle's heating system automatically increases to full heat without any driver input. In my case, both sides of the dual-zone system simultaneously rise to maximum temperature, regardless of the settings selected. This behavior appears to be linked to a failure of the main blend door actuator. While this may seem like a comfort issue at first glance, it can quickly become a safety concern. Sudden, uncontrolled heat output can fog windows, distract the driver, and create uncomfortable cabin conditions that may impair focus. Given the number of similar reports from other owners, I believe this issue may merit further investigation. I respectfully request that the national highway traffic safety administration (and Ford) review this matter to determine whether a recall or service campaign may be appropriate. Thank you for your time and attention. I appreciate your commitment to safety and customer satisfaction.
Vehicle's ac continuously goes from coldest temperature to high heat on its own and cannot be turned off. You can hit the max ac button and numbers will read 60 and work it's way up to "high" heat within just a few seconds. This happens at any given moment and will not stop until it wants to. Cruise control turns off while driving and collision warning sensor comes on. Once this happens, you cannot set cruise control anymore. This too is something that works and malfunctions on its own. When driving, I have experienced the loud collision warning sound and flashing red light on dash, causing me to panic while driving. Problem has not been confirmed by a dealer or service center, nor has it been inspected by manufacturer. Warning lamps and flashing red dash lights and alarms sound. This issue has been ongoing since may 2023. All issues described take place every single day that I drive my car.
Lincoln customer service has been an ultimate nightmare. Previously spent $2,000 just so the car would stop blasting the heat, blasting the radio, locking and unlocking vehicle. In order to get the car stereo working it’s an additional $4,000. From all my research I’m relieved I’m one of many dealing with this recall Lincoln refuses to take responsibility on screwing loyal customers like me. The car retains water in the bottom of door frames. Front collision doesn’t work and it will sometimes go crazy when I’m near car like locking and unlocking car sporadically. I refuse to allow any children to ride in this car due to its unpredictable behavior like it has a mind of its own. Please help me I have Lincoln take full responsibility for their wrongs to help out customers safety like me and many others. 772-370-1849 james colton skinner 1030 sw 31st street palm city FL 34990.
Driving and stopped for a red light. The engine stalled and would not restart. I was driving and slowed down for a red light. The engine chugged and stalled. It would not restart. There was a recall on the 2013 model with the exact problem but not for the 2014. This could have ended terribly had I not been slowing down for the light. I was able to swerve into a large mall parking lot and came to a stop.
All four doors started retaining water and I have to pull the rubber back and let it drain but when there was a hard rain I would get leaks from the moon roof area that leaked on to the console/gearshift area I took it to a shop but they couldn't find any thing wrong then after a hard rain I sucked 12 gallon of water out of the drivers side floorboard it seemed that it was seeping in from under the dash or somewhere under the floorboard because as soon as I vacuumed some more would appear also before I vac I could hear water sloshing and it wasn't in the doors if that wasn't enough my wife was driving and the moon roof opened by it self and would not close so I took it to a dealer and they charged me 150. 00 to close it and told me I needed two motors and a new switch and other parts totaling around 700. 00 and but I felt that all that wasn't needed since I had never open the roof before in 4 years which meant to me the motors should be ok since I had never used it so I declined the two motors and asked them to put everything else in and leave it closed and I would be satisfied so they closed the moon roof but not the sun screen and told me that they could not close the screen because the roof might open back up and they may not be able to get it closed I paid out 400. 00 and I'm driving around in a beautiful 2014 Mks I bought in 2015 new and only has 58000 miles and in mint condition love my Lincoln but scared when it rain this is a nightmare can you help or tell them how to correct the problem.
