2010 Lincoln Mkt

5/1/16 I DID MY BREAK AND ROTOR CHANGE AT SEARS AUTO CENTER AFTER IT GET FIX WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY 180 MY CAR SUDDENLY SAYS BEAKS LIGHT CAME OUT THEN MY STEERING WHEELS GOT LOCK AND I CAN'T TURN IT THE GOOD THING I WAS DRIVING ON THE RIGHT LANE SO I PULL OVER CAUSE I GOT SCARED AND I AM PREGNANT ALMOST DUE. SO MY STEERING WHEELS IS LOCK AND I CAN'T MOVE THE CAR HIGHWAY PAROLE CAME AND ASK ME WHAT HAPPEN SO I EXPLAIN AND HE CALLED THE ROAD ASSISTANCE ON FREEWAY TO GET MY CAR TOWED SOMEWHERE AROUND IN OAKLAND. SO I CALL THE LIVING CUSTOMER SERVICE BUT WITH NO EXTENDED WARRANTY THEY CAN'T HELP ME THEN I CALL SEARS ASK THEM WHAT HAPPEN TO MY CAR AND THEY WANT TO SEE MY CAR AGAIN SO THEY PAY FOR THE TOW FROM OAKLAND TO SAN BRUNO CA TO CHECK IT AND THERE YOU ARE THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAVE TO BRING IT TO GHTHE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE IT MAY ISSUE A POWER STEERING PROBLEM I BEEN DRIVING THE CAR WITH NO PROBLEM THIS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPEN SO I TOWED MY CAR FROM SAN BRUNO TO PITTSBURGH CA AND BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE DEALERSHIP WILL DIAGNOSE THE CAR I AM STILL WAITING BUT THE FORD SERVICE TOLD ME YES IT'S THE POWER STEERING WHEEL WAS OFF HOW THAT HAPPEN I JUST WANT TO SEE IF LINCON WILL COVER THE COST IF IT'S RECALL.

EXPAND RECALL 15V340000 & 15S18 (LOSS OF STEERING) THIS IS THE 2ND COMPLAINT FILED IN LESS THAN 2 MONTHS FOR THIS 2010 MKT. THE 1ST WAS ON 12-24-15 IN WHICH A COMPLAINT WAS MADE ON THIS SITE AND IS VIEWABLE, BUT HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY FEEDBACK AS OF YET. LINCOLN COVERED THE FIRST REPAIR IN WHICH THEY DISCOUNTED MY FINDINGS OF THE STEERING RECALL WHEN I PRESENTED THEM WITH IT. SO THEY DIAGNOSED IT AND CONFIRMED LOSS OF STEERING DUE TO A FAILED STEERING ANGLE MODULE SENSOR AND A SOFTWARE UPGRADE AT A COST OF $400. WELL, HERE I AM AGAIN WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM, LOSS OF STEERING GOING AROUND A CORNER ON 2-12-16. AGAIN, LUCKILY THERE WAS NOBODY AROUND AND IT HAPPENED AT NIGHT BECAUSE I ENDED UP ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD DOING 25-30MPH. ALSO THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH STARTED TO FLASH- "SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW" & "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC". THIS IS OBVIOUSLY THE SAME PROBLEM THAT THE OTHER YEARS HAVE AND ARE LISTED BY VIN UNDER THE RECALL BUT FORD/LINCOLN REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AND IT WILL UNFORTUNATELY TAKE SOMEONE TO GET INJURED OR KILLED FOR THEM TO DO SO. THIS TIME AROUND THE DIAGNOSIS IS THE STEERING ASSEMBLY, RECALLED ON OTHER YEARS, (CA5Z3504A) NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $2300 ORIGINALLY, REDUCED TO $2000 AFTER ARGUING WITH AND GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH LINCOLN FOR DAYS, AND THEY WILL COVER $1500 OF THAT AND WE ARE STUCK WITH THE BALANCE. I AM FILING A SECOND COMPLAINT MORE TOWARDS THE SAFETY ISSUE THAN THE $500 WE HAVE TO PAY. THERE HAS TO BE OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE WITH DIFFERENT YEARS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AND I AM REACHING OUT TO THEM. OTHER VEHICLES INCLUDED IN THIS RECALL ARE FORD FUSION, TAURUS, FLEX, MERCURY MILAN AND LINCOLN MKT, MKS AND MKZ. I AM HOPING SOMEONE LOOKS INTO THIS CLOSER AND OTHER PEOPLE FILE COMPLAINTS.

2010 LINCOLN MKT- WE WERE TRAVELING HOME ON CHRISTMAS EVE 2015 IN GOFFSTOWN, NH WHEN SUDDENLY OUT OF NOWHERE AS WE WERE TURNING A CORNER THE STEERING WHEEL TIGHTENED UP AND JUST ABOUT LOCKED INTO PLACE IN THE TURN. WE HAD JUST GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY RETURNING FROM MY IN-LAWS FROM 40 MILES AWAY. LUCKILY THERE WAS NOBODY IN THAT INTERSECTION BECAUSE I WAS CLEARLY ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD AFTER THIS HAPPENED AND NEARLY MISSED GOING INTO THE DITCH. THE TIME OF DAY WAS ALSO A BLESSING IN DISGUISE BECAUSE IT WAS JUST ABOUT MIDNIGHT AND WE WERE ALMOST HOME SO THE KIDS COULD OPEN SOME GIFTS. I LOOKED DOWN AT THE DASHBOARD AND THE SERVICE POWER STEERING/SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WAS FLASHING. A BIT LATE TO SAY THE LEAST. WE STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AFTER CORRECTING THE STEERING WHEEL WITH 2 HANDS AND SAT FOR A MINUTE. ANOTHER BLESSING WAS WE WERE LESS THAN A MILE TO HOME WHEN THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED AND BEING THE TIME OF DAY, WE DECIDED TO CONTINUE ON VERY SLOWLY DRIVING WITH ABSOLUTELY NO POWER STEERING AND 2 HANDS GRIPPED TO THE WHEEL. I AM A TRUCK DRIVER/EQUIPMENT OPERATOR BY TRADE AND HAVE ALWAYS TAUGHT MYSELF TO EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED WHICH THIS WAS. MY WIFE WAS GOING TO DRIVE HOME ORIGINALLY AND I SAID I WOULD AND I AM SO GLAD I DID BECAUSE THIS MAY HAVE HAD A DIFFERENT OUTCOME ESPECIALLY IF IT HAPPENED AT ANOTHER TIME AND PLACE. THE CAR IS IN OUR DRIVEWAY AS I MAKE THIS COMPLAINT ON CHRISTMAS DAY AND WILL BE BEING TOWED TO A DEALER TOMORROW. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I CAME ACROSS THE OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH DIFFERENT YEARS COVERED AND NOW KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH OTHER YEARS AND MODELS WITH THE PSCM (POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE). FORD HAS A CURRENT RECALL (15S18) WITH THE SAME PROBLEM LISTED. I AM HOPING THAT THE INVESTIGATION REOPENS A NEW RECALL FOR EXPANDED YEARS OF THESE MKT MODELS AND POSSIBLY OTHERS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LINCOLN MKT. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE TURBO FUEL LINE EMITTED EXHAUST FUMES INTO THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE REMAINED ON AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. IN ADDITION, THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURES WERE UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,125. UPDATED 02/24/16*LJ *CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LINCOLN MKT. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, THE ENGINE SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED; HOWEVER, THE CHECK ENGINE REDUCED POWER AND LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,932. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE LARGE TEMPERED GLASS ROOF PANEL OF THE PANORAMIC "VISTA ROOF" ON MY 2010 LINCOLN MKT SHATTERED WITHOUT WARNING WITH A LOUD, FRIGHTENING EXPLOSION WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE NY THRUWAY ON NOVEMBER 30, 2014. THE PANEL WAS NOT DISPLACED, ALTHOUGH SMALL PIECES OF GLASS FELL ONTO THE HEAD LINER. LUCKILY, THE SUN SHADE WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME. IT WAS A MIRACLE THERE WAS NOT A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, GIVEN THE VOLUME OF TRAFFIC AT THE TIME. RESEARCH DISCLOSES THAT SIMILAR EVENTS HAVE HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH OTHER LINCOLN AUTOMOBILES. *TR

I BOUGHT CERTIFIED (CPO) 2010 LINCOLN MKT IN AUG 2013. IT HAD A MILEAGE OF AROUND 50500 MILES. AFTER RUNNING JUST AROUND 5K, IT SHIVERED AND BROKE DOWN ON A TRIP WHEN I WAS ABOUT TO MERGE TO HIGHWAY FROM AN EXIT AND THERE WERE WHITE FUMES FROM THE CYLINDER. AT FIRST THEY MENTIONED, THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH FUEL INJECTOR AND IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. LATER THEY MENTIONED OF A PROBLEM WITH FEW OTHER PARTS AND REPLACED THE SAME TOO. THEN THEY MENTIONED OF REPLACING THE ENGINE AND DONE THE SAME. BUT PROBLEM DIDN'T SOLVE. LATER THEY CHANGED THE TORQUE SENSOR OR SOMETHING AND GAVE THE VEHICLE AFTER 1.5 MONTHS. BUT I WAS HEARING SOME TYPE OF NOISE FROM THE HOOD AND RETURNED TO DEALERSHIP IN 2 DAYS. AND THEN THEY MENTIONED OF REPLACING ENGINE BELT AND AXLE. BUT STILL PROBLEM WAS UNSOLVED AND THEY ASKED ME TO AUTHORIZE FOR OPENING THE DASH TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. BUT I OPPOSED IT AND CONTACTED LINCOLN. LATER THEY AUTHORIZED THE LABOUR AND TOOK THE CAR AGAIN TO WORKSHOP. AFTER THAT THEY CHANGED PULLEY BELT. BUT THE NOISE DIDN'T DISAPPEAR. LATER THEY HAD AN ENGINEER FROM LINCOLN COME AND EXAMINE THE VEHICLE. AND THE ENGINEER ASKED OF REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. BUT IT TOO DIDN'T WORK. AND THE LINCOLN ENGINEER CAME UP AGAIN AND MENTIONED OF REPLACING 1 UPPER ENGINE MOUNT, 1 UPPER TRANSMISSION MOUNT, 1 FRONT ENGINE ROLL RESTRICTOR, 1 REAR ENGINE ROLL RESTRICTOR. IT'S ALREADY MORE THAN 4.5 MONTHS SINCE WHEN VEHICLE IS UNDER REPAIRS AND WITH NO LUCK. IN BETWEEN A CLAIM WAS MADE WITH LINCOLN TO BUY BACK OR REPLACE THE VEHICLE, BUT THEY REFUSED THE SAME AS WELL. SO FAR BELOW REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL NOT SOLVED 100%. *TR
