Body Control Module has developed an internal short that is causing safety systems not to work. It is also affecting the heating/ air conditioning, tire pressure monitoring system. This was recalled previously but the manufacturer wont do anything about it. I have had the vehicle at 2 separate dealerships who say the same thing, that the part is not available and can't be repaired. I called Ford directly and they are refusing to do anything about it since the old recall was performed but clearly never fixed the issue.

My dash touchscreen display became inoperable, no radio, no camera, no NOTHING My wiper blades come on by themselves and won't allow me to shut them off. The headlights remain on in the auto position... they won't shut off. Warning Lights on the dash comes on at times (lights up with lots of warnings) I'm no auto professional, but I think my issues are linked. I also, see that years ago there was a body control module recall that mentioned electrical shorts that could possibly cause a vehicle fire. OMG, I believe there's an electrical problem and I am hoping that the recall would cover these issues.

MY PASSENGER DOOR AGAR SENSOR DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. EVEN IF MY DOOR IS CLOSED, IT REMAINS ON AND I CAN SPEND HOURS OPENING AND CLOSING MY DOOR FOR IT TO REMAIN ON. I CANNOT LOCK THE CAR WHEN UNOCCUPIED SINCE MY ALARM WILL GO OFF WITHIN AN HOUR TRYING TO ALERT ME THAT MY DOOR IS OPEN, EVEN THOUGH IT IS NOT. WHILE DRIVING, MY DOORS DO NOT LOCK AND MY LIGHTS REMAIN ON.. MY CHILD COULD OPEN HER DOOR IN THE BACK SEAT WHILE I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD BECAUSE OF THEIR FAILURE TO LOCK. I ALSO CANNOT SEE AT ALL AT NIGHTS WITH THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ON. THEY DO NOT GO OFF UNTIL I REACH A CERTAIN SPEED, BECAUSE OF THE SENSOR SAYING MY DOOR IS AGAR.

2011 LINCOLN MKX ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SOFTWARE RECALL LINCOLN ISSUED A RECALL (10V659000) NHTSA CAMPAIGN #11V128000 WHICH REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF AFFECTED BCMS MAY HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR AN INTERNAL SHORT. IF AN ELECTRICAL SHORT DEVELOPS, AN OVERHEATING CONDITION MAY OCCUR WHICH COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE FIRE. OUR LINCOLN STARTED TO DEVELOP ISSUES ONLY A FEW WEEKS AFTER PURCHASE. THE TURN SIGNAL WOULD REPEATEDLY BURN OUT. THE DEALERSHIP WE PURCHASED FROM REPLACED THE BULB & HOUSING SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO PERMANENT FIX. AFTER SOME RESEARCH WE FOUND THE RECALL NOTICE & CALLED LINCOLN DIRECTLY. AS IT TURNS OUR THE CAR (VIN NUMBER & ALL FIT THE CRITERIA FOR THE RECALL PER FORD) HOWEVER LINCOLN REFUSES TO FIX THE AFFECTED MODULE BECAUSE THE CAR IS ORIGINALLY FROM CANADA! WE LIVE 1 HOUR AWAY FORM CANADA, SO IAM SURE WE ARE NOT THE FIRST TO BUY A CAR IN THE US THAT ORIGINATED IN CANADA. AT THIS POINT WE DO NOT EVEN FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR FEAR IT WILL CATCH FIRE. THE SIGNAL & RUNNING LIGHTS BURN OUT EVERY 2-3 WEEKS. VERY SCARY! WE CANNOT IN GOOD FAITH TRADE THE CAR IN EITHER WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THIS INFORMATION. THE MECHANICS THAT HAVE LOOKED AT THE VEHICLE STATED THAT THERE IS EVIDENCE OF AN ACTUAL FIRE AROUND THE TURN SIGNAL HOUSING.
