Seats Problems of Lincoln MKX

The major problem occurred right after purchase as check engine light came on. The dealership was no help and refused to take vehicle back. The vehicle is nice looking but the mechanical is a lemon. I purchased this in 2020 and paid $24000. It’s a 2016 Lincoln Mkx. I repaired problems and due to covid and my lifestyle I rarely traveled. I have more medical issues and require more frequent doctor visits. I never went back to brennegen after not standing by this vehicle shortly after purchase. I just tried to focus on the positive and started doing business elsewhere. I maintained proper service. Brennegen did not disclose active recall before purchase. Since purchase I have repaired two problems brakes, and fire risk to engine. At this months regular oils change my current mechanic dahl Ford said the water pump was leaking. The estimated repair is $5000. I paid just to have it diagnosed yesterday as I have not $5000. I followed their advice and parked this. My vehicle is currently not drivable. I investigated and discovered Lincoln Ford has several class action lawsuits filed against them. Many consumers have the water pump problem and unfortunately Lincoln was well informed of this since 2007 and purposely have not fixed the issue. Yet currently many consumers like me are in danger of eminent engine failure and catastrophic failure of Lincoln vehicles. The cost is far more expensive for many and consumers should not be victims of lemons and fraud. Lincoln knew and currently knows of problem. They denied to buy back my vehicle or repair it. The case was just filed yesterday and Lincoln denied it in less than 12 hours. Without any investigation or explanation they just told the other department rep to call me back and deny my complaint. I am not the only o e and lawyers are now involved in class action . Please help me start o e I. My area or get Lincoln to stand behind their advertisement as this is a blatant lie. The water pump is too expensive to fix. Please help!.

The front seat when we had to come to a stop the seat bounced forward and then back. Very dangerous. This should be a recall. I have many read letters of this happening for many others. It is an accident waiting to happen.

My Mkx driver seat and passenger seat keep rocking back and forth. My fianc� was driving 40 mph we start to slow down on a city street and as he is stopping his seat rocks back and his foot comes of the break and almost hits the back of another car. I'm sitting in the passenger seat also feeling my seat move as well. I look over at him and see his face and you can tell he got scared for a second because he is wondering why his seat rocked back and he almost hit a car in front of him. It is also happening when accelerating. Making it a safety hazard as well because you are slowing down while the driver behind us is speeding up and could possibly hit us because our foot is no longer on the gas.

I am not sure if this is the right place to present this issue, but will explain my concern here. I have an issue with the location of the driver's seat location in my Lincoln Mkx. I am 6'2" tall and have long legs. I have had a knee replacement which left me with reduced range of motion in my leg. My issue is that I cannot straighten my leg out enough to be comfortable while driving due to the limited rearward motion of the seat. In speaking with the service manager at the dealer where I purchased the vehicle, he suggested that I contact Ford/Lincoln directly. In doing so, they advised that contact you people at this e-mail address. It is my intention to point out this matter to you and seek some advice and direction. My proposal is to raise the seat height approximately 3" and add a piece of flat metal under the seat track which could be redrilled to allow the seat to move rearward approximately 3+". These modifications would use the same holes in the seat track and the attachment locations in the floor that exist now. Any replacement bolts that would be used would of equal grade of the original bolts. This modification would allow me to sit higher and further back from the brake and gas pedals while allowing my leg to be straighter, therefore more comfortable. I have seen this type of modification done on other vehicles and it works. If done properly it would not alter the level of safety in the vehicle. At this point Ford/Lincoln will not support this modification without my presenting the idea to you people for your support on the modification. If you could review this request and advise me on this matter by return e-mail, I would appreciate it.

On July 17,2012 I got into my 2007 Lincoln Mkx and put the key in the ignition. I have a memory seat so it started to get into my position. Well, the seat back started coming forward and would not stop. It pushed my body into the steering wheel while the seat bottom continued to move forward also. I started to panic as I was wedged into the steering wheel and my knees were tightly pressed against the dash. I tried to get the seat to stop moving by pressing the set button on the door and it would not. Luckily, the seats are leather which allowed me to slide myself out. This has never happened before and was very terrifying. I honestly thought I was going to be crushed. There needs to be some type of safety stop. If the seat is moved as far forward as possible there is less than 5 inches between the seat back and the steering wheel. This is very unsafe as the motor is so powerful that it could crush a child or seriously hurt a pregnant woman. I am now too afraid to even drive this car for fear it could happen again. There is no reason that the seat should move that far forward. Apparently, there is some type of malfunction with the seat. I believe there should be a recall on this.

As I was approaching a stop sign at a local shopping center, the driver's side seat suddenly moved forward, backwards, then the back part reclined and rested in that position.

After purchasinng my vehicle, I noticed a distinct hard object just under the seating surface. At first I thought it was a seat adjustment such as a lumbar support on the seat bottom, but that is not the case. I was, and still am, sitting directly on the motor controls for the seat. I contacted the dealer where I bought it twice about the problem and was told to take it to a dealer here in florida where I work. I took it to a Lincoln dealer in west palm beach. The service rep. Felt the seat and immediately told me that there was a problem with the manufacturing of the seat. He asked me to leave the vehicle and they would fix the seat the following day by installing some additional padding. I took a rental car provided by them back to my apartment. I was contacted the following day by the same dealer rep. And was told that since there were no previous similar complaints that they could not make the repairs. I then contacted Lincoln's customer care service team and was told that I would be contacted shortly by a customer care specialist, which I was the following day. I was told that this nonconformity was a part of the design of the seats and that he was closing the file.
