2010 Lincoln Mkx

TAKADA RECALL I HAVE A 2010 LINCOLN WITH A RECALL SAFETY FOR THE AIRBAGS. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR YOUTUBE IF I SHOULD GET IN AN ACCIDENT I COULD LOSE MY LIFE DUE TO THIS RECALL. I STILL ON THIS CAR AND IT IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT BECAUSE I COULD LOSE MY LIFE I HAVE CALLED ALL THE FORD PLACES AND LINCOLN PLACES EVEN TO DEARBORN MICHIGAN THE LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHEN THIS PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED. I AM STILL MAKING NOTE PAYMENT ON THIS CAR I FEEL THIS IS VERY UNFAIR TO ME AND SOME OF THE OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS. FEEL THIS IS UNFAIR TO BE FORCED TO DRIVE A CAR THAT HAS A SAFETY RECALL ON IT KNOWING THAT YOU CAN LOSE YOUR LIFE BECAUSE OF NEGLIGENT THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE. I WOULD LIKE TO NO WHEN AND CAN THIS BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE DOES LOSE THEIR LIFE BEHIND THIS

PTU (POWER TRANSFER UNIT) WHICH IS A NONSERVISABLE UNIT FAILS AND HAS BEEN ON NUMEROUS VEHICLES. THIS FAILUR HAS THE POTENTIAL OF CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUE TO IT POSSIBLY LOCKING UP AND CAUSING A VEHICLE LOSE OF CONTROL. I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY AND DIDN'T NOTICE AN ISSUE UNTIL I SLOWED DOWN TO GET OFF WHEN I HEARD A GRINDING NOISE. TRANSMISSION SHOP TOLD ME I WAS LUCKY MINE DIDN'T LOCK UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LINCOLN MKX. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED AND OTHER GAUGES BECAME INOPERATIVE FOR A BRIEF MOMENT. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000. ....UPDATED 10-27-15 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM WAS THE ELECTRIC THROTTLE BODY. THE CONSUMER HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET, FOR THE REPAIRS.

THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGER SEATS TILT BACKWARDS DURING ACCELERATION (USUALLY HARD START). THE SEATS WOULD ALSO TILT FORWARD ON HARD BRAKING. AFTER SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND A LOT OF FORD AND LINCOLN OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ISSUE ON BOTH LOW AND HIGH MILEAGE CARS. IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ON ALL LINCON MKX AND FORD EDGE. IT SEEMS FROM THE COMMENTS ON VARIOUS ONLINE FORUMS THE PROBLEM IS MORE COMMON IN CARS WITH POWER SEATS. I AM AFRAID THAT WITH THE "PLAY" IN THE SEAT TRACKS, THE CAR WOULD BECOME UNSAFE DURING AN ACCIDENT. IT SEEMS SOME FORD DEALERSHIP ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE ALREADY AND CONSIDER IT "NORMAL" BEHAVIOR, SOME ARE FIXING IT UNDER WARRANTY. OWNERS WITH NO WARRANTY ARE EXPOSED TO POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS DEFECT OF THE VEHICLE.

UPON MORNING START UP, THERE IS A HIGH PITCH WHISTLING SOUND WHICH LASTS APX THE FIRST 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING TIME.IT CAN BE HEARD INSIDE & OUTSIDE THE CAR & WITH THE RADIO ON OR OFF.I HAVE COMPLAINED SINCE ABOUT FEB 2014 ABOUT THIS SOUND WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER ITS BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY.I REQUESTED EACH TIME THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAVE A FEMALE LISTEN FOR THE NOISE AND THEY DID NOT DO THAT.IT IS A KNOWN FACT THAN MEN LOSE THEIR HEARING IN THE HIGH FREQUENCIES THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMING MY INITIAL MAINTENANCE DID NOT NOTE THIS ISSUE ON THE REPAIR ORDER, ALTHOUGH I REPORTED IT TO THEM SEVERAL TIMES.THE SECOND DEALERSHIP HAD A FEMALE EMPLOYEE LISTEN FOR IT; SHE WAS ABLE TO HEAR AND POINT OUT THE SOUND TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR WHO THEN DID HEAR THE SOUND.THEY ARE NOT CERTAIN, BUT BELIEVE THAT THE SOUND IS COMING FROM THE FUEL PUMP INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. SINCE THIS IS NOT LOOKED UPON AS A FAILURE, ONLY A NUISANCE, I AM TOLD IT IS NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND FRANKLY, I FEEL IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED UNDER MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY! I FOUND THIS EXACT COMPLAINT IN TWO YOU TUBE VIDEO RE: 2008 FORD EDGE HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=ROCO7_TGJHG AND HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=HQCUNSY1ENC .ACCORDING THE TO PERSON WHO POSTED THESE 2 VIDEOS, HIS DEALERSHIP COULD NOT IDENTIFY/FIX THE PROBLEM, SO HE SOLD HIS 2008 FORD EDGE. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS NOT A "NORMAL" OR ACCEPTABLE SOUND TO LISTEN TO EACH MORNING AT START UP. I FEEL THIS SOUND IS ACTUALLY DAMAGING MY HEARING SINCE I AM EXPOSED TO IT FOR SO LONG EACH DAY. CONTINUAL SOUNDS LIKE THIS ARE NOT HEALTHY FOR THE EARS! SINCE IT IS AGAINST THE LAW, I CANNOT DRIVE WITH EARPLUGS TO MINIMIZE THE DAMAGE TO MY HEARING. THIS IS THE 3RD ISSUE I AM REPORTING REGARDING THIS VEHICLE. THE OTHER TWO REGARD THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT INTERMITTENTLY ROCKING WHILE DRIVING. *TR

CAR WAS PUT INTO PARK (ON A SLIGHT SLOPE), THEN PARKING/EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS APPLIED. BRAKE DID NOT HOLD AND ROLLED 10 - 12 INCHES INTO ANOTHER PARKED CAR. WHAT GOOD IS AN EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKE IF IT TAKES THAT LONG TO ENGAGE? LUCKILY I PRESSED THE REGULAR BRAKE AND BACKED THE CAR UP FURTHER BEFORE PUTTING AGAIN INTO PARK AND APPLYING THE PARKING/EMERGENCY BRAKE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. IN BOTH CASES, THE LINCOLN PUSHED INTO THE OTHER CAR'S BUMPERS ALLOWING ME TO SEE THE OTHER CAR MOVE BASED UPON THE PRESSURE EXERTED BY THE LINCOLN. FORTUNATELY, NONE OF THE BUMPER'S WERE DAMAGED. I WILL ALSO BE REPORTING ANOTHER 2 PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR
