general problems of the 2010 Lincoln MKT

Front sub frame rusted out completely on drivers side, passenger side is fine. The frame could separate at any time which could cause you to loss control of car without warning. Took car to get lower control arm replaced and repair shop saw rust damage to sub frame and took pictures. Called Ford to tell them about issue, they are having a dealer inspect it on 11/25/2022.

I have two complaints on this vehicle. 1. Driving down the road and hear a loud explosion that was the moonroof,. 2. The water pump was defective and put coolant into my oil and ruined the engine. This seems to have happened way too many times for this not to be a recall on both of these. My car literally overheated out of nowhere.

Takata recall. While driving on the highway, with no other vehicles near us, our moonroof exploded. We were not near any overpass. No other vehicle or person was involved. It is apparent that it exploded outward. This vehicle is garage kept. Nothing ever fell on top of car or scraped it. We are out $1000. 00 + rental car exp.

A gas type odor enters cabin of vehicle. I believe it to be carbon monoxide. I often have to roll down the windows even in cold winter weather to prevent carbon monoxide from overtaking the cabin when the heating system is on.

After driving at high speed or high load and then coming to a stop, an exhaust smell will fill the cabin with visible smoke coming from under the hood. My friend was driving my car and said he almost passed out, while driving 50 mph, before opening a window. I have personally experienced this problem as well, thinking my car was on fire. Ford dealer says there is no recall or known fix for this problem.

The large tempered glass roof panel of the panoramic "vista roof" on my 2010 Lincoln Mkt shattered without warning with a loud, frightening explosion while driving 65 mph on the NY thruway on November 30, 2014. The panel was not displaced, although small pieces of glass fell onto the head liner. Luckily, the sun shade was closed at the time. It was a miracle there was not a serious accident, given the volume of traffic at the time. Research discloses that similar events have happened numerous times with other Lincoln automobiles.

The gears on this vehicle are not riding smooth, when your driving uphill it sounds and feels like it's falling apart. And the headlight on the driver side went out, they say it's not the bulb but an electrical issue. .
