Tl the contact owns a 2007 Lincoln Mkx. While driving approximately 5 mph, the vehicle jerked forward and the undercarriage detached from the vehicle. There were no warning indicators illuminated.

Transmission fluid was leaking. Was told it was not covered under my warranty as the transmission cooler was damaged by stones. I asked for the part and detected that there were many stones embedded in he transmission cooler. This is a defect that Lincoln will not admit to. Potential hazard if you spring a leak while driving on the highway.
