2 Engine Failure problem of the 2011 Lincoln MKX

Failure Date: 12/16/2017

I was driving on the road all the sudden I heard a knock in the vehicle and burning smell without any warning the car has stopped in the middle of the road. I was able to get it to a safe place. I have it towed to the dealer the entire engine has to be replaced because the coolant was going to the engine which will cost nearly $10,000. 00. I still owe over $18,000. 00 and only have the car for a 1 � year. I can't get any help from the Ford company or the dealer. I am a single parent that's in a true dilemma not knowing what to do. The dealer has done the service in the car 2 months prior to the engine failure. I kept the service everything it's due. I was doing all the right thing.

3 Engine Failure problem of the 2011 Lincoln MKX

Failure Date: 09/22/2014

This is the third of three incidents with this vehicle. On this occasion I was traveling 70 mph in the fast lane of the expressway, when the engine failed for the third time in 1 year. On this occasion the wrench symbol came on the dashboard. According the vehicle's manual this is an indication of a powertrain problem. This was the closest that I came to having an accident. There was only about 1000 feet to the left on the fast lane to stop the vehicle without hitting the guard rail. The vehicle has been at the dealership for 5 days. We were called the day after we dropped the car off for servicing. Again they said they could not duplicate the problem and wanted to return the vehicle to us without resolving the problem. I informed Lincoln that I would not take the car back until it was safe to drive. We are currently working with Lincoln to see what can be done.
