2014 Lincoln Mkt Problems

Shortly after leaving my home, I pulled onto the local road that takes me to the freeway. At this time I had noticed a pattern on the front panel of my panoramic sunroof which I had initially believed to be ice, as that is not uncommon for the environment I am in. Momentarily after this, I had merged onto the freeway where a cracking sound became prevalent. It was then when I realized there was no ice on my sunroof, it was the glass beginning to shatter. I immediately pulled over, as safety became a very imminent concern. After analyzing the front panel of the panoramic sunroof, I had attempted to take the vehicle off the freeway for further action as there was no major pieces of glass missing at the moment. After pulling off, the glass had suddenly completely broken, causing a very loud sound and a rush of air. It is important to note that there was zero impact made to the glass previous to the incident. This is a known issue from the Ford/Lincoln manufacturer in regards to their panoramic sunroofs that I happened to become a victim of.

November 21, 2021, while driving on the HWY at about 65 MPH, the forward panoramic moon roof exploded. Simply exploded. Not hit by anything - no cars or trucks in front of us. Thank goodness, we had the interior part closed, or it would have exploded all over us. This was a very loud explosion! Thank goodness I did not lose control of the car.

My 2014 Lincoln MKT has two moonroofs. The first one exploded on 9/12/22 while driving the car on a sunny, wind free day. Sounded like a gunshot hit the glass and was frightening. Car is 8 years old at time of incident. I see this has been an ongoing issue with Ford/Lincoln since 2007. These parts need t be recalled. The glass alone is $3300 with total 3 day repair over $5K! Had to find a glass vendor who could shrink wrap exterior/interior so glass would not fall into vehicle and rain would not enter vehicle. See class action lawsuits have been previously filed.

The contact owns a 2014 Lincoln MKT. The contact stated that while driving approximately 25 MPH, the vehicle stalled and shut off and failed to restart. The vehicle was later towed to the local dealer, and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not serviceable. There was no explanation provided. The vehicle was towed back to the residence. After researching the failure, the contact discovered that the failure might be associated with an undisclosed wiring harness failure. The contact was informed that the wiring harness was on back order from the manufacturer. The contact indicated that a co-worker received the same response from a different dealer after experiencing the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted regarding the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000. The VIN was not available.

THE BACKUP CAMERA FREQUENTLY STOPS WORKING, WHICH GREATLY REDUCES REARWARD VISIBILITY AND COMPROMISES SAFETY. RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR OTHER LINCOLN MODELS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE BUT NOT THE 2014 MKT.

Turn car on and the steering wheel was impossible to turn. Received fault message saying error with steering system. Turn car off and back on and it worked this happened several times. Then it happened again and cannot the power steering to engage. Checked recalls none on my vehicle but same issue as other vehicles. Mechanic looked at vehicle and noted issue reset sensors which did not remedy issue. Still inspecting

There is a recall for this on different VIN for this year and car, but not this VIN. The electric power steering locks up unable to move when you hit a bump or try to turn into somewhere or just changing lanes. This has led to almost constant accidents happening. This has been inspected by an independent service center and confirmed this is related to the recall.

On April 30, 2021 as I was driving down the road my steering wheel suddenly starting turning left to right involuntarily causing me to lose control of my car and crash. My vehicle is a total loss and I had just paid heavty deposit and financed a Lincoln Mkt with a dealership that never disclosed to me that my vehicle I just purchased had a recall on it that had been issued last year. Now I am out of my deposit, no car, criminal charges for causing an accident that I could not control, and a company that was well aware of the recall gets all their money plus some and I'm the one in the wrong. Doesn't seem right does it? Unfortuntly, the claims adjuster that inspected the vehicle to give an estimate failed to check the rear of the vehicle since all damage was in the front and driver side. I informed my insurance rep of the recall and have sent information on the recall along with the crash report of the incident. I do not recall seeing any warning lamps before this incident but I did feel that something was strange with the cars manuvering ability when accelrating or attempting to pass. It would kind of suddenly start a short of shimming of the vehicle that I have never experienced before in other vehicles driven previous to this one. Those signs were first noticed the second day after purchasing the car and two weeks later the incident occured.

I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER FROM LINCOLN IN EARLY 2020 FOR A RECALL ON REAR SUSPENSION TOW LINKS. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND WILL HAVE THEM AT THE END OF THE YEAR. I CALLED THEM IN OCTOBER AND THEY STILL SAYING NO PARTS, YET THE I CALLED THE PARTS DEPARTMENT AND THEY HAVE THE PARTS AVAILABLE IF YOU WANA BUY IT YOURSELF. I DRIVE THIS CAR IN LIMOUSINE SERVICE AND THIS IS SUCH A SAFETY CONCERN NOT ONLY FOR ME BUT FOR THE PASSENGER SITTING IN THE BACK. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE AT FORD DEALERSHIPS SUCKS.

Car suddenly stalled/turned off. Moving at low, parking lot, speed. Fuel Pump warning code found after the car was towed to repair facility. Closely matches the description of NHTSA campaign number 16V621000. <--Info provided by my mechanic. This VIN, however was not included in the recall.

NOTICED SLUGGISHNESS ON INTERSTATE AND EXITED AT THE FIRST AVAILABLE EXIT THAT WAS APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE AWAY. WHEN EXITING INTERSTATE AND COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AT THE STOP SIGN, IT DIED AND WOULD NOT START. IT WAS BLOCKING THE SINGLE TURNING LANE. IT WAS TURNING OVER VERY WELL BUT SEEMED TO BE LACKING FUEL MAYBE. HAD IT TOWED TO LOCAL MECHANIC SHOP. NO WORD BACK FROM THEM YET. JUST HAD THE FUEL PUMP REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO. I KNOW THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FUEL PUMP BEFORE WE BOUGHT IT. IT WAS AN EMPLOYEE'S VEHICLE THAT WORKED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I SUSPECT THE SO-CALLED REPAIR WAS PENCIL WHIPPED AND NOT REALLY REPAIRED BY THE DEALERSHIP. IT WAS A "CERTIFIED " CAR AND WE PAID A PREMIUM PRICE FOR IT AND I'M STILL PAYING!

The seat belts stopped retracting so we sprayed some wd40 in there to make sure everything can move but the seatbelts safety stop keeps engaging when you're trying to pull out the seatbelt. After a few times of getting the seatbelts out to use them they get stuck. They are not functioning at all how they should.
