general problems of the 2013 Lincoln MKX

Vehicle randomly dies while driving. Can happen at anytime and at any speed. No warning at all. Does not leave a check engine light so no code is recorded. Very dangerous. Otherwise vehicle runs well but is too dangerous to drive. All steering, acceleration, brakes, etc. Are lost when it dies. Will immediately start back up if in park or neutral and foot on the brake. Again - dangerous! this has been going on for over 6 months now. Some days all ok and other days can be multiple events.

The contact owns a 2013 Lincoln Mkx. The contact stated that the heating and a/c units had increased to high levels. The defroster was fogging up the windshields. The driver had a limited visibility of the roadway. Additionally, the vehicle was running hot. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, and the contact was informed that the failure was due to the thermostat and the center head module. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000. The VIN was not available.

While driving on the highway at over 70 with my whole family in the vehicle the vehicle simply stopped responding and went into what I have now been informed is limp mode by the grace of god we survived this frightening experience on another instance after that another car hit me thankfully no damage, while doing some research I see there is a safety campaign 13no3 but for some reason this model was not included. I no longer feel safe driving this vehicle and believe this vehicle and others like it have a serious safety issue that is going to cost someone there life.

Recall # 14v393000 is for my make, model & year, but not the VIN # (Lincoln 2013 Mkx). The car is having the same problem as on this recall. Starting a week ago, my car moves & rolls when put in park especially on uneven pavement. Should you lose power going 70 mph if this recall is causing the problem, it will result in deadly crash. Contacted Lincoln customer service representative who refused to pay for inspection to check if halfshaft and linkshaft are causing the car to move when in park. Considering this could result in loss of life in deadly accident, you would think they would gladly pay for the inspection. I am suppose to pay $175 for this inspection. Can you help? car was made at Ford of canada, ltd. At oakville plant in 2013.

So far this has happened now 4 times. While driving my care at 35 mph, my car will lose all power as well as the steering wheel will lock. My car will began to go in its own direction and I have to bring the car to a complete stop in the middle of traffic, put it in park and turn it off and start it back up again. I have two children and losing not only the power of the vehicle but also the steering is very concerning. I have contacted Lincoln and they have let me know that this is a valid recall for over 83,000 vehicles made in the same year but it is not on my vehicles recall list. I am very concerned about this.

At night, while at speed (60 mph) in center lane of a crowded highway during evening commute, the engine stopped, resulting in loss of propulsion, power steering, and power brakes. Fortunately was able to coast to a stop on the right shoulder without collision. Was able to restart engine normally and proceed home (about an hour) without further incident. Next day did some low speed (5 mph) testing in a quiet area to investigate possible causes. Could not replicate with any button on remote or steering wheel. Symptoms could be replicated by pressing engine start/stop button while in motion. This button is too high to hit with driver's knee and located where accidental touch by driver's arm/hand is highly unlikely. Both driver and front seat passenger say this button was not activated during the incident. No further recurrence in normal driving on the following day. No system messages on vehicle information display. Plan to take to dealer next week for further investigation. Mileage 55100.

Near the end of my 35 minute commute home I stopped at a red light on a busy city street. When the light turned green, I put my foot off the brake and placed it on the accelerator. . The car would not accelerate. The low engine pressure light came on. I turned the steering wheel to coast the car to the right lane. I put the car in park. I had the car towed to a dealer. The dealer could not duplicate the problem and the computer had no history of the error messaage. Very troubling. I drive the freeway to work during early morning hours. If this had occurred on the freeway, the car would've been an easy target for traffic behind me.

Near the end of my daily hour long commute home I was coming up to a stop sign, as I was decelerating up to the stop sign, the low oil pressure light came on, the steering seize up, the accelerator failed to function, and the braking was sluggish. I was luckily able to steer to the side of the road. I put the vehicle in park, pressed the power button to turn the car off and the car turned off. I turned the car back on as normal and all systems appeared to function as if nothing had happened. I brought the car in for service and they informed me the computer did not register any faults, errors, or issues. This is concerning, because if this problem had occurred on the highway at highway speeds and I were to lose acceleration and steering control, I would not be able to type this report. The dealer service technicians are unable to locate the issue because it was not recorded.
