Equipment Problems of Lincoln MKT - part 2

This vehicle was modified by small volume manufacturer baf technologies (now westport) with an epa-approved cng conversion package. The fuel filler receptacle, however, was not securely mounted to the frame. It was merely mounted on a plastic disc and glued to a plastic interior body panel. That glued mounting has now failed within the 'bumper to bumper' warranty period, but westport/baf has refused to repair it under warranty. Their los angeles warranty service provider has also refused to perform this repair even if I pay for it. The original mounting method is extremely weak and would result in serious or catastrophic damage (e. G. Gas leak, fire, explosion) if the user were to 'drive off' with the dispenser hose attached. All of these vehicles need to be retrofitted to meet nfpa requirements for mobile cng systems, including the ability to survive a 'drive-off' without serious or catastrophic damage. See nfpa section 52 6. 9. 2 "the fueling connection receptacle shall be mounted to withstand the breakaway force specified in 7. 11. 6. 2. (150 pounds in any direction the vehicle can move)" in addition, I believe this mounting violates nfpa 6. 9. 3 (receptacle not installed in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations) and 6. 9. 4 (insufficient clearance to prevent interference with operation of the fueling nozzle). This failure occurred when the vehicle was being refueled. The only damage in this case was to the receptacle mounting. The mounting was apparently not even strong enough to withstand the forces of connecting and disconnecting the fueling hose and nozzle during normal fueling operations.

To start we have 5 other Lincoln Mkts with the same concern in the last 18 months, 4 which were covered under base warranty. The glass roof during what seems to be temperature changes pops. This time Lincoln will not cover this even though it only has 25,000 miles on it. I went through regular Ford channels and they refused full coverage. After some research I found they have had problems with other vehicles as well . The conditions at the time the roof popped . Car was parked during day and through the night in a secured lit camera monitored parking lot. The next morning roof was shattered.

The panoramic roofs on the Lincoln Mkt blow out for no reason. We have 14 of these Mkt's in our fleet we have had close to 10 of the glass roofs shatter. We are very concerned that glass could fall into a drivers eyes as well as our passengers. Also when they do blow out a good size chunk of the roof blows out and anyone behind us could be in grave danger especially someone on a motorcycle. The design of these roofs is flawed and either these roofs should not be allowed or they should be design with a type of glass or plastic product that wont shatter. Lincoln has helped in some of the incidences with the cost but are now telling us a definitive no! cost to replace a glass roof runs about $1500.

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. .
