general problems of the 2011 Lincoln MKX - part 1

My dash touchscreen display became inoperable, no radio, no camera, no nothing my wiper blades come on by themselves and won't allow me to shut them off. The headlights remain on in the auto position. . . They won't shut off. Warning lights on the dash comes on at times (lights up with lots of warnings) I'm no auto professional, but I think my issues are linked. I also, see that years ago there was a body control module recall that mentioned electrical shorts that could possibly cause a vehicle fire. Omg, I believe there's an electrical problem and I am hoping that the recall would cover these issues.

Left front drivers door flies open while driving. Door has already been repaired twice by dealers and problem keeps returning.

Tracking system and 911 assist would not work. Vehicle would not start. 01.

Body control module has developed an internal short that is causing safety systems not to work. It is also affecting the heating/ air conditioning, tire pressure monitoring system. This was recalled previously but the manufacturer wont do anything about it. I have had the vehicle at 2 separate dealerships who say the same thing, that the part is not available and can't be repaired. I called Ford directly and they are refusing to do anything about it since the old recall was performed but clearly never fixed the issue.

Bad apim module.

My brakes will go out for no reason. Also, my electrical system (dashboard) will freeze up for no apparent reason. I have taken it to the Ford dealership numerous times, but I was told neither was a recall issue and they could not help me unless it happened when they could actually "see" it happen. Yes. They said that.

Signal appears all the time saying driver door ajar and now the panic alarm goes off on its own multiple times day and night. Key is in house when alarm goes off. Received recall notice, but I am over mileage by 9,000. Portsmouth Ford in nh who I bought it from wont do the recall work.

Tl- the contact owns a 2011 Lincoln Mkx. The contact stated that when in reverse, the rear camera was inoperable. The crest Ford 218 flanders rd, east lyme, CT 06357 (860) 739-5403 was contacted and informed the contact to bring the vehicle in for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for a diagnostic test or repairs. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not under warranty. The failure mileage was 95,613. Dr.

The problem was diagnosed as a failed throttle body, with trouble codes p2111 present in the on-board computer system, indicating the electronic throttle actuator control system was stuck open and closed, respectively.

Door ajar sensors are failing and not allowing me to lock.

Smell of wires burning, seat burning skin, screen and other items not working.

Door ajar sensors are failing and not allowing me to lock the vehicle.

Faulty sunroof track assembly, unable to open or close backup rear camera stopped working, stationary (prior to backing up, once put in reverse).

Door ajar warning on the driver's door keeps the vehicle from locking while driving - and also does not want to lock after the vehicle has been shut off and is staionary; I had this fixed a year ago in 2017 at gene messer Ford here in amarillo and now the problem is back; please advise ASAP.

Passenger door switch defected stays on at the dash can not lock doors when driving and over head lights stay on till I reach a certain speed as well as when I lock doors the alarm goes off for no reason due to it picks up that the driver door is a jar this is a big safety issue as and when you investigate this you will see for yourself this is all happening when the car is parked as well as in motion.

My rear view camera works intermittently. Some times it just says call the dealer.

Door latch sticks and vehicle won't sense that the door is closed. Clearly an issue for Ford based on an internet search yet nothing is being done to help. Daughter at school can't get interior lights to go off and can't lock door because the car thinks door is open.

While driving 40 mph, my vehicle stalled out, power went out, lights, power steering and brakes. I had to pull to the side of the road and put my vehicle in park to restart it. I was driving in a busy area at night, no headlights, very difficult to control, my car was slowing down due to no power.

Door ajar sensor has stopped working correctly. It works intermittently. When it does not work the door does not lock automatically and when electric door lock are activated, the door unlocks.

My passenger door agar sensor does not work properly. Even if my door is closed, it remains on and I can spend hours opening and closing my door for it to remain on. I cannot lock the car when unoccupied since my alarm will go off within an hour trying to alert me that my door is open, even though it is not. While driving, my doors do not lock and my lights remain on. . My child could open her door in the back seat while I am driving down the road because of their failure to lock. I also cannot see at all at nights with the interior lights on. They do not go off until I reach a certain speed, because of the sensor saying my door is agar.

I keep get the check fuel fill inlet system error on my vehicle. I've had it fixed but the light comes right back on. My car jerks as I am driving and sometimes stalls.

Door drivers side ajar latch issue: even when the door is closed the vehicle still says the door is ajar. This has been fixed four times since I have had the car.

The drivers door ajar warning is activated even tho the door is fully closed. I cannot lock the doors while driving because the sensor thinks the door is ajar. Even when I try to lock the doors, the vehicle automatically unlocks all doors as soon as the car is in motion.

Problems with the electronic throttle body (etb). When driving, there is an extreme, sudden and dangerous loss of power. At the same time, Ford's infamous "wrench warning light' for this problem comes on and the car enters into the 'limp home mode'. This is the same problem that Ford / Lincoln is having in which the NHTSA had opened an investigation in Feb. 2013 after thousands of Ford / Lincoln owners complained of the same issue I am currently having, then closed it after Ford agreed to 'fix 1,600,000 cars that "limped home"'. My research shows that Ford claims that customer satisfaction program 16b23 has been issued. However, when I contacted Lincoln hq, they stated that since NHTSA has closed this investigation, they are not willing to include my VIN with this reported problem. This problem is getting worse as well. It has happened 5 times now and every time, I have to pull off to the side of the road and shut the vehicle off. I called the Lincoln dealership where the vehicle was purchased and the service manager was well aware of the problem and stated that he fixes these 'all the time' at $160. 00 for the part, and $400. 00 for the labor. Please reopen the NHTSA investigation / case to include my VIN in this 'recall' or whatever Ford wants to call it.

Driver side door ajar sensor comes on frequently. Interior light stays on when this happens, making it difficult to drive at night. Sometimes it causes the alarm to go off during the night, which is aggrivating. Such a nice car but this is an embarrassing problem. I just bought this car used but the owner said she has had this problem several times before.

2011 Lincoln Mkx - problem - intermittent "driver door ajar" warning shown on instrument cluster - cause dome lights to illuminate, and repeated door closing attempts to end "door a jar" warning. Warning happens when stationary and / or in motion, resulting in an unplanned stop. If diving with "door ajar" warning, doors will not stay locked, questioning if doors are really closed.

Two of the doors show an unlocked alarm, even though the doors are fully closed. This prevents the doors from being locked, and the lights to remain on. I cannot set the car's alarm as it will set itself off.

The door ajar sensor is malfunctioning çausing the lights to remain on while driving. This problem has progressively gotten worse to the point the interior lights stay on all the time which is a driving hazard at night. This is a common problem with the Ford edge and Mkx as it is all over the internet. Ford has a bulletin out however will not cover cost of replacement.

Door ajar light stays on. The doors don't lock, dome light stays on, and the alarm goes off multiple times during the night. These things all cause multiple problems. At night with the dome light on it is distracting and lowers visibility. My battery has ran down multiple times.

Tl-the contact owns a 2011 Lincoln Mkx. The contact stated that while parking the vehicle the low coolant level warning light illuminated and the vehicle started to smoke. The vehicle was towed to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the module which controlled the cooling system had failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 48,000. Ah.

Electrical short in throttle body. The vehicle would stop at anytime while driving. Pulled off street and re-started. Incident happened four times.

Door ajar (driver's side) indicator illuminates when door is closed. Multiple occurrences of this issue are documented on internet. When this occurs the following systems are affected: * door locks - cannot be locked from driver or passenger automatic door lock button. When attempted all door locks automatically unlock again. Auto locking safety feature is effectively disabled. Work around is to manually lock all doors. * interior lighting - dome lights (interior lighting) will not turn off until vehicle is moving at 10 mph or faster when door ajar issue occurs. Visibility while maneuvering at low speeds at night is impaired and increases potential for accidents in areas such as parking lots. No known workaround. Additionally, when remotely locking car, marker lights and interior lights remain on, unknown if excessive battery drain may occur. * security system - keyless (touch) locking of automobile does not work when this issue occurs. Using remote lock activates the alarm system. This causes random false alarm activations. Security system cannot be used effectively. Work around is to keep car unlocked. Due to the number known systems affected by open or closed state of the car doors, it is possible that other systems including safety systems could be affected by intermittent door ajar sensor failure while the vehicle is in use.

Lift gate will open without prompting. Have parked the vehicle and went inside and come back outside and liftgate will be open. At other times it will not open or close when I push the button on the dash or the rear cargo button or key fob button. Camera goes fuzzy or blacks out.
