2012 Lincoln Mkx Problems

Recalled master cylinder brake booster was repaired at the dealership under the recall approx 4 or 5 years ago. The same issue has began again. Out of nowhere while braking, the pedal will become soft and press to the floor. During this time, the car will not slow down. This is resembling a defective part.

The contact owns a 2012 Lincoln MKX. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the accelerator pedal was depressed but the vehicle failed to respond. The All-Wheel Drive (AWD) warning light and the power train warning light were illuminated. The contact stated that he veered to the side of the road and turned off the vehicle and waited for 15-20 seconds. The contact then continued driving; however, the failure recurred increasingly. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who test drove the vehicle and informed the contact that they could not duplicate the failure. The dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle could not be repaired under an unknown NHTSA Campaign because the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 97,400.

I have a 2012 Lincoln MKX and a piece of the transmission broke off while I was driving on the highway at night. I was able to get the vehicle to the shoulder but this could have caused a serious accident even resulting in fatalities. I have contacted the dealership but he is not cooperating and says that he is going to do nothing about it. I have an estimate from the repair where I had to have the vehicle towed. There were no type of warning lights at all on the dash board.

MY 2012 LINCOLN MKX IS EXPERIENCING AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS REQUIRING EXTREME FORCE TO STOP AND GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, FOLLOWED BY A HISSING AIRY SOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LINCOLN DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A BRAKES AND CHARGED ME $900. AFTER PICKING UP THE VEHICLE AND TEST DRIVING IT, THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. AFTER RE-DIAGNOSING THEY POINTED THE FINGER TO A HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT. THIS ISSUE POSES GREAT DANGER AND THE INABILITY TO STOP WITHOUT LITERALLY STANDING AND APPLYING FORCE TO THE BRAKES. I HAVE HAD TO STOP DRIVING THE CAR BECAUSE WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT ANY SPEED, THE FORCE NEEDED TO STOP AND A COUPLE CLOSE CALLS WITH RAMMING IN THE BACK OF SOMEONE, THE CAR IS JUST TOO DANGEROUS. ADDITIONALLY, I'VE HAD OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS CAR WHERE THE TRUNK WILL NOT STAY OPEN. IT DOES NOT DETECT A PERSON PUTTING THINGS IN THE TRUNK AND I'VE HAD TO RUN AND PUSH IT UP TO SAVE A KID WHO WAS LOADING SPORTS EQUIPMENT.

Entering I-294 express ramp, vehicle was not accelerating beyond 40mph. then as I entered highway it shut down completely. I coasted to the right shoulder. The dash displayed a "low oil pressure" alert. So I did not attempt to restart the car. When I had it towed home, I checked the oil level and it was full. Nothing like this happened before. The vehicle is almost 12 years old with 167,000 miles. Had this happened in traffic on the expy, I could have been creamed by other cars or a truck. I am going to the dealer today to investigate but this seems like an anomaly where the engine shuts down because the computer thinks there is a catastrophic failure that is not really happening.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 LINCOLN MKX. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE FAILED. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED AND THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE TO REGAIN NORMAL FUNCTION, BUT THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MAYAGUEZ FORD CALLED MARGINAL MAYAGUEZ, PUERTO RICO, 00681; PHONE 787-805-3673. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC, WHICH LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE ENGINE PURGE VALVE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ENGINE PURGE VALVE AND THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. *TT *AS

The contact owns a 2012 Lincoln MKX. The contact stated that the back over prevention camera was reversed. The contact stated that the image was upside down and the camera was flickering. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The contact believed that the failure was weather-related. The contact called an unknown local dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 185,000.

I am having issues with my touch screen. My screen will go black every other week, for about a day and the the SNYC will update. This time, it’s been over a week, and the screen is still black. I have tried changing fuses to no avail. Also, the rear camera does not work. Along with the blind spot warning or the rear cross traffic warning. How should I proceed? I believe it may be a faulty chip in the computer board.

THE DEALER HAS NOT INSTRUCTED ME TO TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A FORD OR LINCOLN DEALER TO HAVE MY PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN 4 LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY IN FLORIDA AND THIS TIME OF YEAR THERE ARE MANY CITRUS HAULING SEMIS ON THE ROAD IN FACT THREE OR FOUR DIRECTLY BEHIND ME DURING THIS OCCURRENCE. MY VEHICLE WAS DRIVING THEN SUDDENLY WITHOUT WARNING STARTED TO LOSE POWER. ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING BUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND WHILE TRAFFIC BARRELING DOWN ON ME DURING NOON TRAFFIC. I HAD NO OTHER CHOICE BUT TO STEER OFF. HAD TO RESTART ENGINE AND STILL NOT RESPONDING PROPERLY. FINALLY ABLE TO MAKE IT INTO DEALERSHIP WHERE WE WERE TOLD THIS VEHICLE HAD NO RECALLS AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO CHECK. THIS HAD HAPPENED ROUGHLY SIX TIMES IN LAST SIX MONTHS VEHICLE HAS ONLY 42000 MILES ON IT I AM UNSURE OF WHAT THE PROXIMATE CAUSE WAS PLEASE HELP

DRIVER DOOR LATCH ELECTRICAL COMPONENT CONSISTENTLY THINKS THE DOOR IS AJAR WHEN IN FACT THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THIS SETS THE VEHICLE CAR ALARM OFF WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED 2-4 TIMES A DAY. ADDITIONALLY, WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT, ALL OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS REMAIN ON AS IT THINKS THE DOOR IS OPEN, CAUSING NIGHT TIME DRIVING VERY DIFFICULT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FLAW IN THE DESIGN SINCE THE SWITCH IS BUILT INTO THE DOOR LATCH.

THE DASH LIGHT TELLS US THE PASSENGER DOOR IS AJAR ALL THE TIME (WHILE DRIVING AND PARKED) AND SOMETIMES IT SHOWS THE DRIVER DOOR IS AJAR WHEN, IN FACT, THE DOORS ARE SHUT. THE DASH LIGHTS AND EXTERIOR REAR VIEW MIRROR LIGHTS STAY LIT A LONG TIME AFTER THE CAR IS PARKED AND THE LIGHTS ARE TURNED OFF. THE HORN (ALARM) WILL START HONKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT OR WHEN IT SITS IN A PARKING LOT FOR AN HOUR OR SO AFTER IT IS PARKED AND WE WILL HAVE TO FIND THE KEYS TO SHUT IT OFF. VERY ANNOYING AND EMBARRASSING WHEN SITTING IN CHURCH AND THIS HAPPENS IN THE MIDDLE OF A SERMON OR PARKED AT A MOTEL AND THE ALARM GOES OFF AT 2 A.M. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. WE ARE ANNOYED AND ANGRY AND DON'T WANT TO PAY HUGE SUMS OF MONEY FOR THEM TO KEEP RUNNING TESTS AND TELLING US "NOTHING IS WRONG", WHEN IT IS! HOW DO WE RESOLVE THIS?

I WAS DRIVING 35 MPH ON SINGLE LANE ROAD. ALL WHEEL DRIVE OFF CAME ON AND CAR STOPPED. LUCKILY NOBODY REARENDED ME. SAME THING HAPPENED TO OUR FRIEND'S 2014 MKX. TURNED ENGINE OFF AND DROVE TO DEALER. THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE ERROR SO THEY COULD NOT FIX IT. NEXT TIME IT HAPPENS IT WOULD PROBABLY KILL ME.

THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LATCH MECHANISM CLOSED WITHOUT THE DOOR ACTUALLY BEING CLOSED. THIS CAUSED A FALSE POSITIVE CONDITION FOR THE "DOOR AJAR" WARNING SYSTEM. I THOUGHT THAT THE DOOR WAS SECURE, HOWEVER THE DOOR WAS IN FACT NOT LATCHED TO THE VEHICLE. MY EIGHT YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT. WERE IT NOT FOR THE PERCEPTION OF MY WIFE WHO SUSPECTED THAT THE DOOR WAS INSECURE I WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH A DOOR THAT WOULD OPEN WHILE THE CAR WAS MOVING. THIS FALSE POSITIVE CONDITION IS CAUSED BY THE FACT THAT FORD HAS PLACED THE SENSOR THAT TESTS FOR THE DOOR BEING CLOSED ON THE LATCH MECHANISM RATHER THAN ON THE VEHICLE BODY. AS OUR CIRCUMSTANCES DEMONSTRATE THE SIMPLE FACT OF THE DOOR LATCH BEING CLOSED DOES NOT INSURE THAT THE DOOR IS ACTUALLY SECURED TO THE VEHICLE BODY. WHILE NO INJURIES OCCURRED IN OUR INCIDENT THE POTENTIAL FOR A SERIOUS INJURY IS OBVIOUS. HAD THE DOOR ACTUALLY OPENED MY CHILD MAY HAVE EASILY FALLEN OUT OF A MOVING VEHICLE. THE DRIVER OF THE CAR MUST KNOW WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY THAT ALL DOORS ARE TRULY SECURED. TESTING THE LATCH FOR BEING CLOSED IS NOT A SUFFICIENT TEST FOR THE CLOSURE OF THE DOORS. *TR
