I am inquiring about why there have been so many issues with the Lincoln Mkx from year 2007-2009 ignition coils connecting to the pcm or computer and it has never been an recalled issued. I called an this two months ago and made a complaint at the 8883274236 number. I was never contacted. I had no issues with my truck then about last March I was on the expressway driving and just lose power. I went to autozone and was told that I had a misfired. I have been to two different auto repair shops tto have this issue addressed and change out the coils and both have advised me that the computer is not reading the coil, which is standard in my type of truck. I am making an appointment at the dealership this week to have my air bag replaced for another recall this is the second one since I have this car. I would like to have this matter addressed and I also would like a return call or email back in return to this complaint.

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.

The throttle valve assembly was bad. The car stopped running when the wife was driving highway 105 at 50 mph. She turned on the flashers and was able to get off to the side of the highway after a short time the car was able to be restarted and driven back to the house. The same thing happened again about two months later. This is a very dangerous situation. The engine stops with no warning.

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.

When we purchased the vehicle from valley Cadillac in roanoke va in 2014. We smelled something burning a few days later. We took it back to the dealer who kept it for over a week. They told me that they would have to send it to the Ford dealer because they couldn't repair it. I was never was told what the issue was only that it cost upwards of $800. Here we are and I was stranded on i81 because the truck lost power and started vibrating . It was towed to a repair shop and I am mortified at the findings. The coil packs were bad. This is caused by the pcm computer failure. That information was not shared at time of purchase as something that needs routine maintenance. In addition, the fix was to weld a cracked and warped coil pack vs replacing it and he bad computer. Here I am $962 later and still need to replace the computer. Had this been done correctly the first time, I wouldn't be here. I have a picture that I will upload later. Incidentally the exact same thing happened to my daughters 2008 Mkx the month prior.

While driving on a city street, vehicle did not respond to the accelator- no power to the vehicle and a "wrench" appeared on the dash board. Power train problem. Take vehicle immediately to your Lincoln dealer. The car stopped and I was able to pull over. It seemed to be choking then stopped. Towed it to dealer - they ran diagnostic tests and found "nothing wrong with it". Two weeks later same thing happened. Fortunately I was on a city street again and able to move over. Had this happened n the freeway I am sure there would have been a major accident. Dealer again could find nothing again. Apparently the diagnostic tests are not effective. They recommended replacing the "throttle". That "might" be the problem. I am now very uncomfortable driving this vehicle and stay always in the right lane just in case it decides to die again. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle now. Apparently Lincoln expects an owner to keep replacing parts - even though they might not be defective - and hope eventually the correct part is replaced. I am wondering about all the electronic "progress" we have supposedly made, why defective parts cannot be accurately detected. Way too much unnecessary functions on vehicles - creating too many chances for electrical errors. Where does it end? the car has only 37,000 miles on it and was very reliable - until now- now it is out of warranty - each replacement part, I am sure, will be costly - this is going to be a guessing game from now on.

We just described this dangerous, 5 times malfunction in a previous notice, today. My address is listed slightly incorrect and the 1st malfunction was oct 7, 2017, not the 2016, I see that was listed. It was purchased in 2016. The speeds were different. 70 twice, 55 twice and 50 once. The 70's were in heavy traffic on hwy 80 around chicago.

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.

Car is moving at highway speed and suddenly shuts off completely and stops. Luckily car behind was able to stop avoiding a rear-end collision. My wife who was driving denies touching any shifting buttons on the dashboard. However, due to the location of the start/stop engine button it is very possible to touch the stop engine button if trying to adjust the radio or climate controls which are located adjacent to the stop/start engine control button. This is a design flaw! while you must depress the brake to start the car, all you need to do is brush the control button to stop everything while moving.

Even with meticulous maintenance my Mkx engine catastrophically failed. The dealership said the oil and water mixed and it was in no way caused by us. They are wanting me to pay $7000. 00 to replace the engine. We followed manufacturers recommendations for service and preventive maintenance. I believe Lincoln should cover this as this was no fault of us as the owners. We are the original owners and purchased it brand new. My wife was driving to bend, or from prineville, or on the highway and the vehicle lost power and then died. She was stranded on the roadside with no cell service.

Vehicle in motion loses acceleration suddenly while driving. This loss leaves you in an extremely dangerous situation when on an interstate highway or any traffic situation. Date of 07/12/17 on interstate highway. Date of 06/27/17 interstate highway. 05/19 /17 vehicle in motion on interstate highway. Problem began when vehicle reached 7,000 miles. Was initially told by one dealer service to pull over and turn off vehicle wait then restart. Never was recalled by Lincoln motor in spite of numerous reports by owners on carcomplaints website. When I contacted Lincoln I was told that it was the responsibility of the ntsb to issue a recall. I was told by the dealer who made the repair there is a recall bulletin on this issue to the dealers . No recall notices were ever sent to owners as 07/29/2017.

I went to the Ford dealership on greystone in columbia SC to get my recall done. I was told that the part I needed for the recall was not in stock and that they would have to order it. After two weeks pasted I called to see if the part came in and I was told, it was on back order and they didn't know how long it would take to come in and that they would call me once it arrived. I never received a call.

The contact owns a 2016 Lincoln Mkx. The contact noticed an abnormal toxic odor of strong fumes inside the vehicle weeks after purchasing the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to more than two dealers (first dealer: wallace Lincoln, 5555 us-1, fort pierce, FL 34982, (772) 461-6060 and second dealer: paradise Ford, 1360 w king st, cocoa, FL 32922, (321) 632-2222), but the odor issue was not resolved. The contact continued to inhale the toxic fumes. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and did not provide any further diagnostic testing. The contact received no solution and was uncertain of a repair remedy. The approximate failure mileage was less than 250.

After start and short drive including a left than right turn. At stop sign, vehicle dashboard lit up with safety warnings, started shaking, lost power, and started on fire. Smoke began in drivers side engine compartment and engulfed whole engine. Vehicle was serviced two days prior.

Drivetrain warning light (wrench) illuminatedwhile driving with associated limp mode and rough running engine. Ford repair stated throttle body needed replacing , not covered under drivetrain warranty, and common item failure on Mkx's. This is a customer satisfaction replacement item on previous years of the Mkx but not for 2012. Obvious that the problem still exists. 65,000 miles on vehicle and all maintenance completed at dealership.

The contacts owns a 2007 Lincoln Mkx. While driving 45 mph, the vehicle shuttered and an abnormal burning odor emitted from the engine. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the pcm was defective and the pcm coils burned and would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 150,000. The VIN was not provided.

"engine recall" once I try to stick it in park, it tells me transmission is not in park! does this every time I try to put it in park! my car isn't even 2 years old yet and just hit 30,000 miles! very frustrating!.

While driving on a highway in rush hour traffic, my vehicle suddenly lost acceleration and warning light/wrench symbol came on. I could not accelerate over 10 mph and limped to side of road. I turned off vehicle for about 20 minutes, after that turned back on and vehicle worked completely normal. I drove to dealer immediately, they replaced throttle body and updated software. My vehicle has 10,400 miles.

The motor has totally gone dead in heavy traffic 5 times. The 1st 3 times they showed up on the inspection and a part was replaced. An inspection the last 2 times showed nothing. When the engine stops, I press n, then start and it runs, then d and it goes again. Meanwhile, twice on hwy 80 around chicago in bumper-to-bumper traffic at 70 mph, cars are slamming on their brakes and honking. 1. What action beyond the dealer need I take? 2. My insurance will not cover a multi-car accident from a defective car under warranty. Who does? 3. If the problem is not corrected how do I get a new one from Lincoln? it is a great car with about 33,000 miles. I prefer keeping it. My daughter said when it happened to her, she had just turned on the radio. Perhaps it is an electrical or computer defect. To my knowledge, the dealership has taken no action to contact Lincoln headquaqrters. It happened 3 times over a 2 day period in oct. 2017, (repaired) once in oct. 2018 and once in may 2019.

My husband and I were almost killed in the fast lane on the interstate when our 2016 Lincoln Mkx shut down completely, we had to cross three lanes of traffic when it started again only to shut down again, we were terrified, it was towed to the dealership where a recall was just issued on it called "throttle body repair" I asked the service manager to replace this defective part , not repair it and he did so. Our service manager was proactive in this and I pray to god we never experience this type of situation again. !.

On 3 separate occasions (most recent on 9/16/16) power to vehicle simply cuts out - on two occasions it has occurred at high speeds on busy interstate with heavy traffic. Extreme danger, as unable to timely pull to side of the road causing traffic jams and potential accidents/rear-ends. Selling dealer has been unable to resolve or fix problem.

Lost power while in motion on city street, began running rough. 'powertrain' indicator (wrench) lit on dash. Limped car to parking lot. Called selling dealer. Car towed to dealer. Dealer replaced air intake throttle body on warrenty. Mileage on car 4052. Production date on car is 07dec15, 3. 7l v6 engine.

Vehicle randomly loses throttle power when driving slowly or at highway speeds.

My vehicle has been losing power while I'm driving, leading to some very close calls on serious accidents. The "check engine" light will come on, and sometimes the "hill assist" message will also appear. Once power is lost, the vehicle loses power steering and literally shuts down; the accelerator does not work. I have to basically limp to safety. I took the vehicle into the dealership, and they found nothing, sending me away only for it to happen again. All 5 times this has happened, the vehicle was in motion on a city street, as I have avoided highways since the first time it happened. I've done extensive online research, and have found hundreds of others who have experienced the same issue.

While driving about 55 mph on the highway my car suddenly stopped. The engine was still on but I had no control except to coast to the side of the road. A sign that said awd failed appeared. I turned it off and restarted it and drove home. We took it to the Ford garage. They had no idea what was wrong since there was no "code". We took it home after about a week. In less than a week my husband was driving home from work and the same thing happened to him. After the Ford garage had it for about 3 weeks they called and said they were going to replace the throttle body. My husband said that is a design flaw and Lincoln's problem. They didn't want to call so gave us the phone number and my husband called. Their response was things fail in cars. My husband said cars shouldn't quit working while you are driving down the highway. Next day Lincoln rep said they would pay $250 toward the repair. We now have possession of the car but no idea if the problem is fixed or not as of yet. (not sure of exact dates. But it was in may and/or June of 2016).

I was driving on city street when all of sudden I had no gas power the engine started reeving up on high. I was able to pull over to the side of the street. I continue to turn off the vehicle and restart it after a few attempts I was able to drive for a short distance it happen again I needed a tow to the dealer the problem was identify as the body throttle this item is causing not only my vehicle but other customers vehicle problems. I feel you should know about this issue because I could've been on the highway when this happen to me and more serious I could've been rear ended. Today is may 9th I haven't received my vehicle yet it's still at the dealer. The service dept. Chuck at dana stated that it might be another week before I get my car back. He stated there are a lot of order for the part.

Vehicle purchased February 2016. On March 15, 2016 (1,065 miles), driving vehicle approaching an intersection on a busy street to make a left turn onto a major highway on-ramp, vehicle lost power while in motion and appeared to enter "accessory mode". Was able to bring vehicle to stop (in the middle of the intersection), put it in park and restart the vehicle. Brought it immediately to Lincoln service department. Service department had vehicle for two days and could not diagnose or replicate the problem. Gave the vehicle back to me without attempting any repairs. On may 14, 2016 (2,838 miles), driving at low speed on back roads, vehicle lost power again while in motion and entered accessory mode. Brought it immediately to Lincoln service department. The service department could not replicate the issue, but found a TSB that they thought would apply to the issue. The technicians reprogrammed the software in the power control module and gave the vehicle back to me. On June 25, 2016 (3. 663 miles), driving at low speed on a main road, vehicle lost power again while in motion and entered accessory mode. Brought it immediately to Lincoln service department. The service department kept the vehicle for two weeks to attempt to replicate the problem. After speaking with Lincoln corporate engineers, the technicians replaced the throttle body, assuming that that was where the issue was originating. Lincoln refused to replace the vehicle and insisted that the throttle body was at the bottom of the issue. As of October 28, 2016, the vehicle has not lost power again.

The vehicle was taken to a dealer who was unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 50. The VIN was unavailable.

Engine died, message on screen said [no key detected]. I managed to pull over to shoulder and stop. Car restarted. Took car to Lincoln dealer the next morning. They said they couldn't find any reason for the problem. Still very concerned and that it may happen again.

When I start my car it makes a clunk then when I shift it into gear it will go into reverse but will clunk and when I put it in drive and I can't go over 5 mph. It's happening more and more started about 3 years ago but when I took it into the dealer nothing they could do cause it wasn't happening then. It's happened when I've been sitting at a light or stop sign as well. We will then unhook the batter for a few mins and then everything is fine.

Vehicle (08 Lincoln Mkx) was cruising at 35mph going down slight incline when suddenly vehicle started accelerating on its own at ~3,500rpm. As the vehicle was going down hill at 35mph in a 30mph zone with no other vehicles in sight, neither gas nor brakes were applied as there was no need. Foot was off both pedals until I realized that the car was accelerating on its own at an uncontrollable rate and it was then that I applied the brakes. Car continued to accelerate as the brakes were being applied. Acceleration lasted approximately ten seconds and then vehicle reverted back to normal. Brought the vehicle in for service the following day (13may2014) and was told that there are currently no service bulletics or known safety issues with this make and model.
