While driving on interstate I-10 at posted speeds, the engine began to sputter, lose acceleration and the check engine light appeared, the car was driven off the freeway (less than 1/8 mile) to the closest safe area. The car was then towed to the mechanic. An ignition coil was burned and the pcm/processor had failed. All 6 coils were replaced as well as the pcm following TSB 14-0059, after the pcm and coils were replaced, a check engine light still appeared indicating failure of the rear catalytic converter. At the time of the incident, mileage was approx. 71,195 miles.

The vehicle surges at lower rpms between 1,000 and 2,000. Dealership tested the problem and found a defective throttle position sensor. Upon review a new throttle body assembly also needed to be replaced. The dealership then re-programmed the pcm to current calibration and road tested the vehicle. Approximately two years later the same problem has reoccurred. The car surges at various speeds and loses power. It is extremely dangerous. We have brought the vehicle to different mechanics who have diagnosed the vehicle with again having a defective throttle sensor and throttle body. We had the throttle body replaced but are still experiencing the problem. The check engine light and maintenance light come on when the car loses acceleration power, but once we restart the car the lights go off. Again, this is extremely dangerous as it has occurred at speeds between 45-55 mph. We are seeking to have this vehicle recalled as we have seen many other customer complaints with the same problem, or receiving a dealership credit to have the work done again.

On 9. 25. 12, I tried to enter an expressway with an incline entrance ramp during rush hour. When I attempted to accelerate, the car began to sputter and shake, (sputtering under acceleration) and finally stopped in the expressway. The car never shut off, no engine lights appeared, and after about 5 minutes I was able to very slowly drive the car to the side of the expressway. For the next 20 minutes I was able to drive the car at 5-8 mph until reaching an exit and a parking lot. The car never turned off, never died, and no engine lights appeared while driving to the parking lot. Once in the parking lot, I called a local Lincoln dealer who advised me to turn off the car and restart it. After restarting the car, I was able to drive the mkz approximately 35 mph and was able to reach my home. Since 9. 25. 12, I have driven the mkz once for a brief "ride around the block" and the car now appears to accelerate normally. The car has always had an "unintended acceleration" issue. When accelerating from a dead stop, the car does not accelerate in a smooth motion but rather a "choppy" manner where your body "jerks back and forth". I have never taken the mkz into the dealership for the "unintended acceleration" and have just accepted this poor/choppy acceleration from a dead stop.
