Unknown. I purchased the car like this from a car dealership. When turning the tires are rubbing against something that makes the car start shaking every time it turns. The seat started going sideways and won’t move anymore the tires make an ugly noise when you press on the brakes.
Light engine on. . When I took it in they told me it was the catalytic converter. Theirs a recall for the converter but they claim not on my model. My girlfriend has same car same year and hers has a recall but she has no issues right now. . I have an issue but no recall?.
Picture of amwrench came up on the dash indicating to check owners manuel. Powertrain issue. There is a recall for this (2014 Lincoln Mkz hybrid recall # 13vs94000) but my VIN is not listed. Warning light came on while driving in town.
Vehicle suddenly dies when driving without warning. I purchased the vehicle one month ago. Brougt it to the dealer for the bolt recall and stalled while dealer was trying to pull it into the bay. After that point, the vehicle died while drivng on numerous occasions. Went to the mechanic one two occasions and no codes pulled. Called dealer and they said I needed to go to a Ford dealer. Went to Ford dealer one code pulled (fuel injector) was replaced recommended I change transmission fluid and replace battery which I agreed to. Forty minutes after leaving dealer as I was oulling out of a parkign lot the car suddenly died again almost causing me to be hit by a box truck behind me. The car is back at the dealer and once again no codes are coming up and they said they cannot duplicate the issue. Went onto Mkz forums and this appears to be a problem not addressed which is causing a significant safety concern for both myself and others since there are no answers to why this is happening.
Dtc code p188b - awd clutch control circuit awd system malfunction, awd turned off during driving normal mode. Restart the car the awd system is back on, dealer cannot fix it unless you get to them with the malfunction light on. Managed few times to bring it to them while under warranty, they changed two times the awd module the fault still returns. The dealer still says that is fixed when obviously is not.

The contact was made aware of recall NHTSA campaign id number 13v594000 (power train). However, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 28,000.
New 2014 Lincoln Mkz hybrid bought on 12/12/14 goes into gear while in park without pressing brake and with blinking green light on (accessory mode & not drive). From initial purchase 9now 9 months ago) this happened about a couple of dozen times - there are witnesses (including passengers riding in the car) when this has happened. Car is dangerous at 0 mph. Ford/Lincoln apparently had a recall on Mkz hybrids for this problem supposedly for models mfg. In mexico (thru oct. 2013 ?). . . . . . Well this one car was missed. Vehicle has been back to the dealer 3 times now but this safety problem still persists.
