2010 Lincoln Mkx Problems

I am satisfied with the help that the customer service assisted me with and that was getting my service moved up to September 26th from the original date of October 30th. But I am not satisfied with the remedy. I have received several written letters from Lincoln that go into detail of the recall on my car and as well they say and in BIG RED LETTERS ..DO NOT DRIVE YOUR CAR UNTIL REPAIRS ARE DONE. WELL, I should say that you see my 2010 Lincoln Mkx is my and only vehicle I own I can not just park it up and forget I have a life and a job because of no fault of my own that my one and only car urgently is needing repair to the factory installed air bags. Therefore I ask Lincoln to assist me with a rental until my car had been repaired. I do not feel safe DRIVING MY CAR.Letter's I have on hand from Lincoln plainly stating DO NOT DRIVE. I am upset Lincoln ortrays they care so much to bombard me with all the recall letters and such but pretty much told me NO WE DONT DO RENTAL CARS So what I am to do??? I don't have rental coverage on my insurance. I couldn't afford it. So what choice do I have??? If I do die from their faulty air bags imploding on me atleast make sure my children and grandchildren knew I begged for a rental but Lincoln couldn't back me with that. I guess making luxury car's for so many years has not left them with much profit Seeing as how in a life or death situation brought on by their mistake they leave their customers to chance it because it cost to much for rentals to ensure their customers are kept safe until their car is serviced and safe to drive. They have no compassion for people is how I am feeling about this whole situation. Only covering themselves legally in the cheapest fix possible to avoid legal issues. Guess Lincoln owners are just numbers and dollar signs and not mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, aunt or uncles or grandparents that are loved and would be missed severely in the event of their death by a recalled air bag.

My car was t-boned and pushed into oncoming traffic. I was knocked unconscious by air bag deployment and it caused brain injury, damage to my breast.

The contact owns a 2010 Lincoln MKX. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to stop as intended. Additionally, while the brake pedal was depressed; the contact heard a hissing sound coming from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with brake booster failure. The contact was informed that the brake booster needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

Brakes are extremely hard to use, takes both feet to stop vehicle, once stopped the engine will stall while brake is touched, must put vehicle in park when stopped.

The front seat when we had to come to a stop the seat bounced forward and then back. Very dangerous. This should be a recall. I have many read letters of this happening for many others. It is an accident waiting to happen.

FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS, MY DRIVER'S SEAT HAS MADE A METAL ON METAL LOUD SLIPPING NOISE WHEN MAKING TURNS AND BRAKING. THE DEALER ADVISED ME (OUT OF WARRANTY) THAT IT WAS A BROKEN SEAT TRACK AND IS COMMON OCCURRENCE. I LIVED WITH THE ANNOYANCE, BUT IT HAS RECENTLY TURNED MUCH WORSE ALLOWING THE SEAT TO MOVE A GREATER DISTANCE AND MORE FREQUENT. I AM AFRAID THE SEAT WILL COME APART OR NOT WITHHOLD IN AN ACCIDENT. MANY FORUMS IDENTIFY THIS ISSUE AMONGST MANY FORD AND LINCOLNS.

No sensor on this year of Lincoln However front blind spot between windshield and rear view outside mirror is horrible which resulted in my accident 2 days ago...I have 2 witnesses that can confirm such difficulty seeing while turning

THE SUV WILL MAKE A NOISE WHEN BRAKING. ALSO SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT STOP THE SUV AND I'VE HAD TO HIT A DITCH TO AVOID A CAR CRASH

First it was the alarm system it would lock me out the car. Then it was the air conditioning it would only turn on when it wanted too. Then I would press the seat cooler and it malfunctioned and I had a second degree burn on my lower back. Then the check engine light came on and it started to overheat. I pulled over turned off the ignition and the car was still running. That happened twice my mechanic would come turn the car off even by disconnecting the battery the car was still on somehow he had to disconnect another part for car to turn off. He told me not move it anymore. 15 to 20 minutes later the car was on fire and the fire department came and turned it off. I bought the car on 4/24/2021 and it was on fire on 05/27/2021.

EXTERIOR FRONT PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE BROKE AND COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM VEHICLE DURING NORMAL OPENING OPERATION. VEHICLE WAS STOPPED IN "PARK' UNDER NORMAL OPENING PROCEDURE.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR STARTED RUNNING WEIRD AND HAD NO POWER. PULLED OVER AND THERE WAS STEAM COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE COOLANT JUG WAS EMPTY. CHECKED THE OIL AND IT IT WAS MILKY AND STEAMING AS WELL.

VEHICLE STARTED MAKING HUMMING SOUND WHILE ACCELERATING AT LOW SPEED. NOTICED A LEAK OF VERY DARK FLUID THE FOLLOWING DAY. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A LEAKING PTU (POWER TRANSFER UNIT). I'VE LOOKED INTO THIS AND THERE APPEARS TO BE A ISSUE WITH THE DESIGN ON THE SEALS. IT APPEARS TO BE A PREVALENT ISSUE WITH FORD EDGE/LINCOLN MKX THAT HAS NOT BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED/CORRECTED BY FORD. I'VE ATTACHED A LINK SHOWING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND SOME EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE LOSING POWER/ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING. HTTP://GOTACLASSACTION.COM/15796-2/. *TR

DRIVING AT NIGHT HEADLIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER AND THEN WENT OUT. 1ST LEFT SIDE THEN RIGHT SIDE. SOLDER CONNECTING HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY TO ELECTRICAL WIRING DISSOLVED. PER FORD DEALERSHIP THE SOLDER IS DISSOLVING BECAUSE THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITRY IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY OVERHEATED CAUSING THE SOLDER CONNECTION TO FAIL. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. THE FIRST TWO TIME THE DEALERSHIP RE-SOLDERED THE CONNECTION. THE THIRD TIME THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WITH A NEW ER HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WITH UPDATED INTERNAL CIRCUITRY FROM MY CONVERSATION WITH THE FORD DEALERSHIP THIS HAD HAPPEN IN THE HIGHER END MODELS OF THE LINCOLNS THAT ARE A FEW YEARS OLD. WHY DID I HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO HAPPEN THREE TIMES BEFORE THEY TOLD ME IT IS AN INTERNAL DESIGN DEFECT OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT ASSEMBLY FOR BOTH SIDES IS AROUND $2,300. I GOT CAUGHT WITH THIS TWICE LATE AT NIGHT, I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT WAS THE HEADLIGHT BULBS. FORTUNATELY, I WAS STILL RELATIVELY CLOSE TO HOME, AND NOT HALFWAY INTO MY 180 TRIP I WAS STARTING OUT ON. THIS HAPPENED AROUND 4 IN THE MORNING WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON A RURAL HIGHWAY WITHOUT STREET LIGHTS. NOT VERY PLEASANT DRIVING WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS.

I was Driving in my 2010 Lincoln MKX January 16,2023 and the front sunroof exploded i hear a loud sound but when I looked up the front sunroof shattered, it all most caused me to have a car accident but I maintain and pull over to the side road. I really think that the manufacture done properly on the sunroof I was not using the sunroof because it’s cold outside !

THE VEHICLE WAS IN OUR GARAGE WITH THE DOOR CLOSED AND THE REAR HATCH WINDOW SHATTERED. THE WINDOW IS COMPLETELY SHATTERED WITH TWO SOFTBALL SIZED HOLES WHERE THE GLASS WAS BLOWN OUT ONTO THE GARAGE FLOOR. NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR NOR THE GARAGE WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND THERE WERE NO ITEMS IN THE CAR THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE DAMAGE. WE HAVE NOT MOVED THE VEHICLE HOPING LINCOLN WOULD CARE ENOUGH TO COME AND SEE WHAT HAS HAPPENED. THEY TOLD US THEY WOULD NOT SEND ANYONE TO VIEW THE WINDOW. THE CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD POSSIBLY INJURE A PASSENGER. THIS REPORT IS PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF OUR EXPERIENCE. *TR
