2010 Lincoln Mkt Problems

I was driving home from work thru a construction area and all of a sudden my power steering/collision warning came on and the signal with the slippery tire car symbol. My power steering went out i almost hit a concrete wall but was able to steer car in development off main road Power steering out and will not operate. Says no recalls on 2010 but online same issue with 2012 and has recall im lucky i was seriously hurt or killed. Shooken up in Florida

I was driving the car and the power steering went completely out without warning and almost caused a serious collison. After researching the car I found that there were multile issues with the power steering modules on these vehicles, this car needs to be repaired by the manufacturer, this is a defect.

CATASTROPHIC WATER PUMP FAILURE. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING AND WHITE PLUMES BURST FROM THE EXHAUST. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TO A SAFE PLACE BEFORE THE ENGINE FAILED COMPLETELY.

I HAVE TWO COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE. 1. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HEAR A LOUD EXPLOSION THAT WAS THE MOONROOF,. 2. THE WATER PUMP WAS DEFECTIVE AND PUT COOLANT INTO MY OIL AND RUINED THE ENGINE. THIS SEEMS TO HAVE HAPPENED WAY TOO MANY TIMES FOR THIS NOT TO BE A RECALL ON BOTH OF THESE. MY CAR LITERALLY OVERHEATED OUT OF NOWHERE.

There is an apparent transmission issue and, according to my research, it is somewhat common with this model vehicle. There is an intermittent problem with shift delay and/or "jumping" during acceleration from first gear. Often happens at stopped position at light and is dangerous if turning in front of oncoming traffic. I was hoping for a recall on this issue, but guess I'll have to take it to a repair shop at my expense. As for any warning lights.... about a month ago, the check engine light came on while we were traveling, but went away on its own by the time we got home a couple days later, so don't know if it is related or not? Below ask when "incident"occurred, but it has happened multiple times so I will just list first approximate date.

TURBO HAS GONE OUT BUT THIS MAKES THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED. I HAVE INVESTIGATED THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHERS AND HAVE FOUND THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE TURBOS! I NOTICE IT SMOKES EXCESSIVE AND WAS TOLD ITS A FIRE HAZARD AND NOT TO DRIVE ON HIGHWAY. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET WHEN IT BEGAN LOSING POWER TO ACCELERATE!

WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN ON A BRIDGE THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME UNABLE TO TURN. DURING LEFT TURNS THE STEERING IS OFTEN VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER.

Front sub frame rusted out completely on drivers side, passenger side is fine. The frame could separate at any time which could cause you to loss control of car without warning. Took car to get lower control arm replaced and repair shop saw rust damage to sub frame and took pictures. Called Ford to tell them about issue, they are having a dealer inspect it on 11/25/2022.

07/04/2016, DRIVING HOME FROM 4TH OF JULY FIREWORKS AT APPROXIMATELY 1030PM, SPEED 55-60 MPH, TEMPERATURE ABOUT 65, HEADING WEST BOUND ON STRAIGHT ROUTE, WITH MY HUSBAND DRIVING, MYSELF AS PASSENGER, AND THREE MINOR CHILDREN IN THE 2ND AND 3RD ROW. (NOTE: NO CARS AROUND, NO EXTERNAL ISSUES, NO PREVIOUS CRACKS IN GLASS.) BOOM SOUNDS LIKE A RIFFLE JUST SHOT AT MY CAR. PULLED OVER INTO LOCAL MARKETS PARKING LOT. THE ENTIRE BACK PANEL OF THE CARS MOON ROOF IS SPIDER WEBBED AND COMPLETELY SHATTERED WITH CHUNKS COMING OUT. I HAD TO UNLOAD MY CHILDREN INTO SEPARATE VEHICLE FOR THEIR SAFETY FOR IT LOOKED LIKE THE ENTIRE ROOF OF MY CAR IS GOING TO COLLAPSE IN. MY HUSBAND EXAMINED ROAD AT THE POINT OF EXPLOSION AND THE VEHICLE ONCE WE GOT INTO OUR GARAGE. THERE WAS NO SIGNS OF ANY FOREIGN OBJECTS OR LOGICAL REASONING FOR THE SUNROOFS EXPLOSION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LINCOLN MKT. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE TURBO FUEL LINE EMITTED EXHAUST FUMES INTO THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE REMAINED ON AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. IN ADDITION, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURES WERE UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,125. UPDATED 02/24/16*LJ *CN

I BOUGHT CERTIFIED (CPO) 2010 LINCOLN MKT IN AUG 2013. IT HAD A MILEAGE OF AROUND 50500 MILES. AFTER RUNNING JUST AROUND 5K, IT SHIVERED AND BROKE DOWN ON A TRIP WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO MERGE TO HIGHWAY FROM AN EXIT AND THERE WERE WHITE FUMES FROM THE CYLINDER. AT FIRST THEY MENTIONED, THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH FUEL INJECTOR AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. LATER THEY MENTIONED OF A PROBLEM WITH FEW OTHER PARTS AND REPLACED THE SAME TOO. THEN THEY MENTIONED OF REPLACING THE ENGINE AND DONE THE SAME. BUT PROBLEM DIDN'T SOLVE. LATER THEY CHANGED THE TORQUE SENSOR OR SOMETHING AND GAVE THE VEHICLE AFTER 1.5 MONTHS. BUT I WAS HEARING SOME TYPE OF NOISE FROM THE HOOD AND RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP IN 2 DAYS. AND THEN THEY MENTIONED OF REPLACING ENGINE BELT AND AXLE. BUT STILL PROBLEM WAS UNSOLVED AND THEY ASKED ME TO AUTHORIZE FOR OPENING THE DASH TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. BUT I OPPOSED IT AND CONTACTED LINCOLN. LATER THEY AUTHORIZED THE LABOUR AND TOOK THE CAR AGAIN TO WORKSHOP. AFTER THAT THEY CHANGED PULLEY BELT. BUT THE NOISE DIDN'T DISAPPEAR. LATER THEY HAD AN ENGINEER FROM LINCOLN COME AND EXAMINE THE VEHICLE. AND THE ENGINEER ASKED OF REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. BUT IT TOO DIDN'T WORK. AND THE LINCOLN ENGINEER CAME UP AGAIN AND MENTIONED OF REPLACING 1 UPPER ENGINE MOUNT, 1 UPPER TRANSMISSION MOUNT, 1 FRONT ENGINE ROLL RESTRICTOR, 1 REAR ENGINE ROLL RESTRICTOR. IT'S ALREADY MORE THAN 4.5 MONTHS SINCE WHEN VEHICLE IS UNDER REPAIRS AND WITH NO LUCK. IN BETWEEN A CLAIM WAS MADE WITH LINCOLN TO BUY BACK OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE, BUT THEY REFUSED THE SAME AS WELL. SO FAR BELOW REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL NOT SOLVED 100%. *TR

ALTHOUGH THE WARNING WAS DISPLAYED, I WAS NOT AWARE THAT MY CAR ONLY HAD AN ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. THIS TYPE OF ISSUE IS ONE THAT CAN TRULY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT SHOULD ONE IS DRIVING WHEN THEIR POWER STEERING GO OUT. THE POWER STEERING ON THIS CAR STOPS MORE THAN JUST YOUR STEERING WHEEL AND I FOR ONE THINK THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. IT'S A GOOD THING THAT I WAS PARKED AND GLAD BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER WAS WITH ME.

ELECTRONIC STEERING FAILED IMMEDIATELY WHILE TURNING CORNER FOR UNKNOWN REASON ALMOST CRASHED INTO ONCOMING VEHICLES.

4th time in 12 years that the moonroof has broken and the side shields that hold each side in place need to be replaced. This is a recurrent issue at least with me on this vehicle causing my roof to stay open until fixed. Not sure if tis because the roof is so big or if its just faulty equipment/engineering. But I think every three years is a bit much

THE LARGE TEMPERED GLASS ROOF PANEL OF THE PANORAMIC "VISTA ROOF" ON MY 2010 LINCOLN MKT SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING WITH A LOUD, FRIGHTENING EXPLOSION WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE NY THRUWAY ON NOVEMBER 30, 2014. THE PANEL WAS NOT DISPLACED, ALTHOUGH SMALL PIECES OF GLASS FELL ONTO THE HEAD LINER. LUCKILY, THE SUN SHADE WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME. IT WAS A MIRACLE THERE WAS NOT A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, GIVEN THE VOLUME OF TRAFFIC AT THE TIME. RESEARCH DISCLOSES THAT SIMILAR EVENTS HAVE HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH OTHER LINCOLN AUTOMOBILES. *TR

WITHIN WEEKS OF GETTING MY 2010 LINCOLN MKT THE BRAKES WERE ACTING STRANGE AND MAKING A GRINDING SOUND. I FELT THAT THE STOPS WERE GETTING DANGEROUSLY UNRESPONSIVE. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE AND AFTER PUTTING 50 MILES ON MY CAR WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I TOOK MY CAR BACK AND THE BRAKE PROBLEM GOT WORSE AND EVERYONE WHO RODE IN MY CAR WOULD COMMENT ON THE NOISE MY CAR MADE AS I APPLIED PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES. I TOOK IT BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT ANOTHER MODEL HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AND THAT THEY WERE JUST GOING TO REPLACE THE BRAKES. AFTER A FEW DAYS THE NOISES AND MY DISCOMFORT DRIVING THE CAR BEGAN AGAIN. I ALSO KNOW SOMEONE WHO HAS THE SAME CAR WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM, THAT LINCOLN HAS BEEN UNABLE TO REMEDY. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM, I HOPE THAT NONE OF US ARE HURT DUE TO WHATEVER THE PROBLEM IS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LINCOLN MKT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH HE NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PULLING TO THE RIGHT AND HE COULD FEEL VIBRATIONS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. HE ALSO HEARD A GRINDING NOISE WHENEVER PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE BRAKES WERE REPAIRED. APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK LATER THE FAILURES BEGAN TO RECUR AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE BRAKES WERE REPAIRED AGAIN. UPON RECEIVING THE VEHICLE FROM THE AUTHORIZED DEALER THE VIBRATIONS AND PULLING TOWARD THE RIGHT CONTINUED TO OCCUR. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 HE HEARD A LOUD BANG AND THE VEHICLE PULLED SHARPLY TO THE RIGHT. THE STEERING WHEEL THEN BECAME VERY STIFF FORCING THE CONTACT TO DRIVE ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A FAILURE WITHIN THE STEERING COLUMN, COMPUTER SYSTEM AND TIE RODS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH DOWN A SLIGHT DECLINE HE HEARD A LOUD BANG. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE REAR WHEEL DRIVING SYSTEM FAILED WHICH WAS REPAIRED. HE ALSO STATED THAT THE BRAKE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO PULL TO THE RIGHT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2010 I PICKED UP MY FIRST FORD CAR; A 2010 LINCOLN MKT FROM TED RUSSELL FORD IN KNOXVILLE, TENNESSEE. AFTER RIDING IN THE CAR A FEW DAYS IT WAS EVIDENT NO MATTER HOW WE ADJUSTED THE FRONT ROW SEATING THE HEAD RESTRAINTS LEFT US WITH A STIFF NECK AT THE END OF THE RIDE. THE SERVICE MANAGER, MR. PERRY BALL, ADVISED US THE ONLY OPTION TO OUR PROBLEM WAS TO REMOVE THE HEAD RESTRAINTS. THIS IS NOT A SAFE OPTION. PLEASE PROVIDE US WITH A SAFE RESOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR
