Other Fuel System Pump Problems of Lincoln MKX

Subject : getting a raw deal ! just bought 2009 Lincoln Mkx. Problems are surmounting quickly. Fumes in cabin recall is connected to transmission failure in fords, Lincolns, Mazda years 2007 - 2013 approximately as reported. The fuel pump fails and is not easily replaceable. Ford is at fault for poorly designing a $200 part behind a "timing chain" which requires removal before you can reach the fuel pump to replace - costing the customer exorbitant amount of money to repair.

On a clear day with a temperature of about 65 degrees, had been driving car approximately 25 minutes between 45 to 55 miles per hour, wiht last at least 10 minutes at 55. After turning onto divided highway and driving 55 miles per hour for about 7 minutes, with no warning car stopped responding to accelerator. Had to coast onto shoulder. Kept trying to get accelerator to respond. Tried no foot on accelerator, lightly pressing accelerator and completely depressing accelerator and everything in between finally was able to get car to drive at approximately 20 miles per hour, then car ceased responding to accelerator and stalled. Restarted car and could drive at approximately 1/2 mile per hour even when flooring and or fluttering accelerator. Tried to restart car numerous times and it would start, then immediately stall out. Car then car completely ceased responding to accelerator. Had to have towed and am awaiting response from technician. I initially thought the cause may be a fuel pump, but after reading complaints from Ford edge customers suspect it may be a throttle body issue. Will wait to hear from technician. This was a very dangerous situation dropping from 55 to 0 within less than a minute.

Upon morning start up, there is a high pitch whistling sound which lasts apx the first 15 minutes of driving time. It can be heard inside & outside the car & with the radio on or off. I have complained since about Feb 2014 about this sound while the car was still under its bumper to bumper warranty. I requested each time that the dealership have a female listen for the noise and they did not do that. It is a known fact than men lose their hearing in the high frequencies the dealership performing my initial maintenance did not note this issue on the repair order, although I reported it to them several times. The second dealership had a female employee listen for it; she was able to hear and point out the sound to the service advisor who then did hear the sound. They are not certain, but believe that the sound is coming from the fuel pump inside the fuel tank. . Read more...
