2012 Lincoln Mkx

DRIVETRAIN WARNING LIGHT (WRENCH) ILLUMINATEDWHILE DRIVING WITH ASSOCIATED LIMP MODE AND ROUGH RUNNING ENGINE. FORD REPAIR STATED THROTTLE BODY NEEDED REPLACING , NOT COVERED UNDER DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY, AND COMMON ITEM FAILURE ON MKX'S. THIS IS A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION REPLACEMENT ITEM ON PREVIOUS YEARS OF THE MKX BUT NOT FOR 2012. OBVIOUS THAT THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. 65,000 MILES ON VEHICLE AND ALL MAINTENANCE COMPLETED AT DEALERSHIP.

BRAKE PEDAL VERY SOFT, GOES TO FLOOR MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO STOP. AFTER PUMPING BRAKE A COUPLE OF TIMES BRAKING POSSIBLE BUT STILL NOT RIGHT ALSO A HISSING SOUND CAN BE HEARD. THIS HAPPENS WHEN TRYING TO STOP ON EITHER CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAY. EXAMPLE WHEN STOPPING FOR A STOP SIGN OR SIGNAL. FIRST REPAIR SHOP I TOOK IT TO CHECKED MY BRAKES AND SAID THEY WERE FINE. AFTER STILL EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM I TOOK IT ANOTHER REPAIR FACILITY AND THEY WERE ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER. CAR NOW STOPS OK. THIS WAS AT 46703 MILES.

LOOSING POWER WHILE DRIVING WRENCH LIGHT COMES UP SAYING LOCKED. IT HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. TWICE 2 YEARS AGO AND ONCE ON AUGUST 23, 2016. DEALER CANNOT REPLICATE CODE. VERY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING 60 MILES ON HIGHWAY. LINCOLN WILL NOT DO ANYTHING SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG? LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING 30 MILES PER HOUR. ANOTHER TIME 60 MILES PER. MANAGE TO PULL OVER BECAUSE IT JUST ABOVE MOVED, LIKE 1 MILE PER HOUR.

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?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 LINCOLN MKX. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STALLED. THE WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, AND RESUMED DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY CAR STARTED JERKING WHILE PRESSING ON THE GAS, THEN CAR BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN, AND POWER SHUT DOWN. SO LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND AVOID A ACCIDENT. SAT FOR AWHILE THEN RESTARTED THE CAR AND DROVE OFF. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ON TO A FREEWAY ,WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE, CAR JERKS AND ACTS AS IF IT WANTS TO SHUT DOWN. ALSO DOOR SENSORS BEEP EVERY TIME YOU GET OUT OF CAR, AND YOU HAVE TO KEEP SLAMMING DOORS IN ORDER FOR INTERIOR, LIGHTS TO GO OFF. DASH READS DOORS ARE STILL OPEN. NO POWER TO MY RADIO AND CANT EVEN GET MY DISPLAY SCREEN TO TURN ON.
