Car constantly speeds up and slows down during shifting process. It is unsafe because it happens on highways and streets it almost caused multiple accidents. I have been terrified to even drive this car. This happens every time the car is driven.

I was leaving my doctors on February 21,2019 I walked out to parking lot to start and it made a noise that I didn't recognize so it finally started after 3 attempts so when I got going it had rough it was fine when I left the house with it but on my way the check engine light came on so I decided to stop and have it checked the scan showed 3 cylinders 4 /5/6 misfiring so I replaced the coils and spark plugs but what caused the problem was it that the timing chain had jumped time causing the cylinders to misfire and also loose power it died in traffic twice on my way home causing a serious accident. I was on a public street with lots of traffic.

While driving on a tollway at approximately 65-70 mph, we suddenly lost all engine power, and were unable to speed up to our exit. Enough power was generated to allow us to exit the tollway. We were extremely lucky that no cars were following us, and thanks to god no trucks were on either side of our car when this occurred. We were able to slowly reach our destination. The car is now at a repair shop awaiting information from the nearest Lincoln dealer. His computer testing so far does not indicate any problems.

This car has a engine and transmission from a Ford fusion, its shifting violently and is not safe. The transmission built for this vehicle is very poor craftsmanship and no recall was made. Several vehicles have been affected by the lack of quality control at Ford.

The manufacturer was not notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 124,000.
