Electronic Stability Control Problems of Lincoln MKZ

The electronic steering stopped working and the traction control system light came on at the same time. I was traveling at less than 5 miles per hour and ran into my garage damaging the right front of my car. Local dealer without seeing the car said cost would be around $1800 to fix steering and stabilitrak. This was a 2012 Lincoln Mkz hybrid.

While stationary after turning on the vehicle there is a hard shift in gears from park to drive. While vehicle is in motion on the city street there is a hard shift around 35 mph to 55 mph. While driving on the city street after 5 miles the vehicle start sputtering and not shifting gears properly then there isn't any acceleration from a traffic light stop and go. And then it picks back up and drive high rpm sound. Or high rev sounds. In addition the gas cap unit is faulty I replaced it before and now it appears it has to be replaced again because it won't close properly. A p0171 code maf sensor came up along with transmission codes for the 5th and 4th gear ratio according to the diagnostics reported from the ob reading and some additional codes that I can't even describe. For the most part the vehicle stalls while driving city and highway which makes it very dangerous to drive.

Started my car to let it warm up, when I returned and went to leave the driveway it flashed service stabilitrac and service power steering. Tried to drive it and had no power steering. There is a recall on many of this same car for the same reason but none for my VIN #.

Car in question: 2011 Lincoln Mkz hybrid, 163,287 km (101,484 miles). Driving on a city street all of the sudden warning lights come abs, traction control, giant wrench, p/brake light, service advancetrac. Brake pedal all the way to the floor, I blew a stop sign, as car was slowing down, but than just rolled thru the intersection. Had to use a parking brake to come to a complete stop when I was looking for a safe spot to pull over. Had to replace hydraulic control module and abs module.

The radio blew out, after Lincoln installed the an airbag that was recalled. It's sounded like a body drop on the vehicle also the airbag light came back on.

My car has had the brake pedal go all the way to the floor on multiple occasions, while the vehicle was in motion, over the past couple of years. It would suddenly go soft/spongy and braking distance would increase dramatically. The problem would occur whenever the vehicle was in motion, quite randomly, every couple of months. I have brought it to several Ford dealers, and none of them ever had a legitimate fix, only saying that the spongy brake pedal resolves itself after awhile, and it would eventually, but the issue would always return again. The Ford/Lincoln dealers said the issue of the unusually soft brake pedal was related to the abs system. Recently, I was involved in an accident because while the vehicle was in motion, the brake pedal issue returned, and I was not able to brake in time, as the pedal went all the way to the floor, and the car did not stop as it normally would have. This is a critical safety issue that needs to be addressed.

I have constant issues with the power deck lid not working when it is cold, it wont even pop the trunk. This morning I experienced a dead battery and when I got the vehicle jumped and started, the power steering warning came on as well as a traction control, hill start warnings and the power steering isnt working at all. The vehicle was stationary. I am unable to turn the wheel.

I had heard a wheezing noise in the front end so I took the car to my mechanic. He was unable to find a problem. A week after while driving the car I was driving and as I turned the car completely shut down. Two days later it began to not drive properly I took the car back to the mechanic and said I had a bad sensor but the water pump was going bad. He stated it shouldn't go bad in this newer of a car. My car has been undrivable ever since. I've called around to get it fixed as though it seems nobody has the proper tools to fix this issue due to the fact the whole engine needs to be removed to fix the problem.
