2009 Lincoln Mkx Problems

My car has a Recall for the AIRBAGS . The car started life in south Texas where it is hot and humid which makes the problem worse. My dealer hasn't complied with the RECALL, [XXX] , Stone Lake, WI [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I'VE REPLACED A STARTER / ALTERNATOR/ BATTERY/ COIL PACKS/ TUNE UP/AND MY TRUCK IS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH STAYING STARTED..I HAVE TO PUSH THE GAS IN PARK BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE IT WILL SHUT OFF.

MY 2009 MKX HAS SCARED THE HECK OUT OF US AS WE THOUGHT A BOMB HAD GONE OFF, FOLLOWED BY THE HIGH-PITCHED WHINE WHICH ONLY STOPPED AFTER WE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND OPEN A DOOR FOR IT TO RESET ITSELF. WE WERE DRIVING WITH KIDS IN THE BACK ASLEEP,, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WENT OFF AND WE COULDN'T STAND IT. TURNING THE RADIO OFF DIDN'T HELP, TURNING THE AC OFF DIDN'T HELP EITHER. WE WERE FORCED TO PULLED OVER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. SINCE THEN I CAN NOT TRUST MY CAR WON'T GO OFF AND CAUSE ME TO HIT ANOTHER CAR OR GOD FORBID SOMETHING ELSE. IT USUALLY HAPPENS IN THE HOTTER MONTHS FOR THE LAST 3 - 4 YEARS. I'VE TRIED TO FIND CORRELATION TO SOMETHING, AND ALL I CAN THINK OFF IS THE HEAT CAUSING IT TO GO OFF.

TAKATA RECALL , TIRE SENSOR KEEPS SAYING LOW TIRE PRESSURE EVEN AFTER CAR IN TURNT OFF AND RESTARTED AFTER AIR WAS PUT IN AND TIRE PRESSURE WAS CHECKED BY A MECHANIC. SOME TIME AFTER AIR IS PUT IN THE TIRE THE LIGHT MAY GO OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND OR HRS THEN THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT COMES BACK ON AND YOU CAN'T SEE YOUR VEHICLE MILEAGE OR ANYTHING.

I LIVE IN A NORTHERN AREA WHERE SALT IS USED TO DEICE ROADWAYS. I HAVE NOTICED THE CHROMED ALUMINUM RIMS ARE LOSING THE CHROME IN BIG STRIPS. I CANNOT KEEP AIR IN THE TIRES FOR MORE THAN 3 OR 4 DAYS AT A TIME BECAUSE THE CHROME AROUND THE TIRE INFLATERS WILL NOT SEAL CORRECTLY., ALSO THE RISK OF BEING CUT ON THE DEGRADING CHROME WHEN WASHING RIMS IS VERY DANGEROUS.IS THE CHROMING PROCESS AT FAULT AND IF SO WILL FORD REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE RIMS/

Automatic transmission is slipping badly. Results in temporary loss of power & speed. Taking my foot off the gas pedal, for two-to-three seconds, seems to remedy the situation. It's quite scary losing control of the vehicle during that period. Below, I am identifying an "approximate date"; however, this issue has been ongoing for quite some time - At least one, perhaps two, years. A mechanic's remedy may be checking the transmission fluid, or having the fluid replaced. I ensure I keep the fluid at its' proper level and I'm not replacing the fluid. I don't believe any transmission fluid ever needs draining and replacing - I think that's a scam when it's suggested!

SUBJECT : GETTING A RAW DEAL ! JUST BOUGHT 2009 LINCOLN MKX. PROBLEMS ARE SURMOUNTING QUICKLY. FUMES IN CABIN RECALL IS CONNECTED TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN FORDS, LINCOLNS, MAZDA YEARS 2007 - 2013 APPROXIMATELY AS REPORTED. THE FUEL PUMP FAILS AND IS NOT EASILY REPLACEABLE. FORD IS AT FAULT FOR POORLY DESIGNING A $200 PART BEHIND A "TIMING CHAIN" WHICH REQUIRES REMOVAL BEFORE YOU CAN REACH THE FUEL PUMP TO REPLACE - COSTING THE CUSTOMER EXORBITANT AMOUNT OF MONEY TO REPAIR.

THE GAS TANK HAS CORRODED SO I HAVE GAS LEAKING UNDER MY VEHICLE. THE MAINTENANCE MAN TOLD ME I COULD NOT DRIVE IT DUE TO DANGER OF A SPARK AND FIRE RISK. THE 2007 AND 2008'S HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM WHICH ARE RECALLED SO WHY AREN'T THE 2009'S AS WELL. IT IS THE SAME FAULTY GAS TANK.

WIRES TO HEADLIGHTS BRITTLE AND/OR BROKEN. THIS VEHICLE HAS HEADLIGHTS THAT MOVE THE DIRECTION STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED AND ALSO SELF ADJUST HEIGHT UP AND DOWN AS VEHICLE IS TRAVELING. THE ALMOST CONSTANT MOVEMENT OF HEADLAMP IS CAUSING WIRES TO BECOME BRITTLE AND BREAK CAUSING HEADLIGHT FAILURE. NOT ONLY IS THIS UNSAFE, BUT IT APPEARS THAT SOME REPAIR SHOPS ARE SAYING THE FUSE BOX NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED TO REPAIR SYMPTOM. SOME PEOPLE MAY JUST THINK A HEADLAMP IS BURNED OUT AND AFTER REPLACING BULB, LIGHT STILL WON'T WORK. THOSE WHO CONTINUE TO DRIVE RISK LOOSING OTHER HEADLIGHT AT SAME TIME. THERE IS NO WARNING INDICATOR IN CAR TO NOTIFY DRIVER THERE IS A HEADLAMP OUT SO A PERSON COULD EASILY BE DRIVING WITH ONE LIGHT AND NOT EVEN NOTICE. UPON SEARCHING INTERNET I NOTICED OTHER LATE MODEL FORD PRODUCTS WITH SAME PROBLEM. ON MY CAR THE INSULATION WAS STILL IN TACT SO IT WAS NOT EASILY NOTICED, BUT YES THE WIRE WAS PHYSICALLY BROKEN INSIDE WIRE INSULATION. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN A CAR ACCIDENT, NOR HAS IT BEEN WORKED ON BY ANYONE OTHER THAN LINCOLN DEALERSHIP OR MYSELF. THERE IS A CAP THAT HAS TO BE REMOVED FROM HEADLIGHT HOUSING BEFORE ONE COULD ACCESS THIS SEALED OFF AREA. *JS

2009 LINCOLN MKX VEHICLE HAS DRIVER POWER SEAT THAT IS UNSTABLE AND ROCKS WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAUSES AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITION THAT MAKES THE FOOT FALL OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN BRAKING. DEALER SAYS THIS IS NORMAL. ANOTHER DEFECT IS THE SOUND SYSTEM WHILE IN USE CREATES A HORRENDOUS SOUND/BANG THAT SOUNDS LIKE AN ACCIDENT. THIS CAUSES A LOSS OF DRIVER ATTENTION AND DISTRACTION FROM TRAFFIC. DEALER SAYS THIS IS A DEFECT WITH NO FIX. *TR

BRAKES ACTIVATE WHEN TURNING AND I PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL ONE YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THIS CAR , I NOTICED THE BRAKES WOULD ACTIVE WHEN I AM MAKING A RIGHT TURN.IT WAS EITHER RAINING OR BEGINNING TO SNOW. THE CAR WOULD BRAKE AS I WAS MAKING A TURN WHILE I GIVING IT GAS TO TURN. HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 TIMES WHILE I WAS TURNING ON A MAIN ROAD. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A LIFE THREATENING EVENT. IMAGINE A CAR COMING AT YOU AND YOUR GAS PEDAL IS NOT RESPONDING WHILE AT THE SAME TIME YOUR CAR IS BRAKING. A VERY SCARY SCENARIO. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID BRAKES NEED CALIBRATION AND THAT I NEEDED NEW BRAKES. I SAID SURE.I ASKED IS THAT NORMAL FOR A CAR TO DO THAT WHEN BRAKES WEAR OUT . THEY SAID NO AND TESTED THE & FOUND NO ISSUES. I PAID FOR THE BRAKE REPLACEMENTS. 3 MONTHS GO BY AND THE SAME THING. TOOK BACK TO DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE BUT THE BRAKES WERE FINE. I STRESSED THE PROBLEM OF MOISTURE( RAIN & SNOW) WHEN THIS OCCURS. THIS OCCURS WHEN I FIRST START DRIVING THE CAR UNDER THOSE CONDITIONS. HAPPENS ONCE AND THEN I AM FINE FOR THE OF THE DRIVE. THIS KEEPS HAPPENING TO ME. I HAVE CONTACTED THE LINCOLN HEADQUARTERS & ALL I HEAR IS TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. BUT NO SOLUTION. I EVEN FOUND PEOPLE WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS ON GOOGLE AND PRINTED THEM & SHOWED TO THE DEALER. I DID NOT GET ANY HELP. ALL I GOT WAS THAT WE CANT DUPLICATE IT.. ON JUNE 15, 16 AND 17 2014 THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED 6 DIFFERENT TIMES. I WILL CONTRACTING THE DEALER SOON. THIS IS A VERY SCARY SITUATION. *TR

THERE WERE NO EXTRANEOUS VARIABLES LEADING TO THE REAR WINDOW EXPLOSION. THE POLICE WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANY CONTACT ENTRY OR EVIDENCE OF VANDALISM AND INDICATED IT WAS POSSIBLY DEFECTIVE GLASS. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT INVESTIGATE THE POSSIBILITY OF PREVIOUS STRESS CRACKS OR DESIGN DEFECTS, ALTHOUGH THEY ADMITTED THAT THIS CLASS OF VEHICLE HAS SEVERE INTERNAL PRESSURE FLUCTUATIONS WHILE A REAR PASSENGER WINDOW IS OPEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, AND THIS WAS EXPERIENCED THE DAY BEFORE. THE GLASS SHATTERED WHILE THE CAR WAS PARKED, WITH THE TEMPERATURE BEING BETWEEN 65 & 70F, WITH NOBODY IN IT. THERE WERE NO PRIOR ISSUES WITH THE GLASS. THE ONLY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE GLASS WAS THE PRESSURE FLUCTUATIONS. *TR
