I have previously filed complaint on this vehicle with no satisfaction. I have a Lincoln 2015 Mkz. This vehicle has a low front end clearance which I believe to be a serious safety concern. The front bumper is only 7 1/2 inches off the ground. Most cars are at least 9 plus inches off the ground. This car can not traverse any type of graded driveway or access road. The front bumper constantly hits the ground which inevitably can and has caused damage to the vehicle. I. E. Damage to wheels, radiator, lights, engine not to mention the bumper itself. I have contacted Lincoln and they are indifferent to my complaint. This should have been rectified years ago but was ignored by Lincoln. The company probably should have provided all owners of record of a Lincoln Mkz with a factory authorized lift kit which could have raised the bumper at least 1 1/2 inches. I have contacted Lincoln several times but they ignore my complaints. I believe there should be a recall to rectify this problem. This is certainly a potentially dangerous situation. Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
Right rear shock assembly failed. Car has less than 45,000 miles. Ford claims they are not shipping this part. Poor build quality. Afraid to drive the car very far. Poor response from Ford.
After reading about the numerous complaints about this vehicles transmission issues I have decided to come here. The pcm and tcm need to be changed in the vehicle. Causing rough shifts from 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th which essentially will cause you to replace the transmission because of the damage it causes. Also constantly having drive control malfunction, check headlamp system messages popping up. There is also horrendous noise from the rear suspension any time you go over any type of anomaly in the road.
The contact owns a 2015 Lincoln Mkz. While driving approximately 5 mph making a turn, the vehicle hesitated and the driver heard a popping noise. The contact lost control of the steering and crashed into a curb. There were no warning indicators illuminated. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The vehicle was damaged and towed to a dealer (dana Ford Lincoln, staten island, new york, 718-983-8700) where it was diagnosed that the a-frame was fractured and needed to be replaced. The technician also recommended a wheel alignment. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16v643000 (latches/locks/linkages). The failure mileage was 28,000. Parts distribution disconnect.
