ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
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?

POWER TRAIN
ODO ERROR. WRENCH AND AIRBAG LIGHTS ON. TRANSMISSION WOULD BARELY MOVE CAR, EVEN WHEN REVVING ENGINE. STOPPED ON HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC. TURNED ENGINE ON/OFF SEVERAL TIMES THEN ODO WORKED, BUT TRANSMISSION BANGED REALLY HARD, THEN ENGAGED NORMALLY, AND RAN NORMALLY. HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES IN TWO WEEKS. WITH JUST 200,000 MILES, THE PTU LEAKED AND WAS REPLACED BY DEALER. AFTER ONE WEEK, THE ODO ERROR FIRS T OCCURRED. I BELIEVE THAT THE PTU REPLACEMENT MIGHT HAVE CAUSED THIS PROBLEM!

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
MY MKX HAS STALLED OVER THE YEARS AND THE DEALER SAYS THAT'S NORMAL. WELL, FOR THE FIRST TIME, I STALLED ON A HILL IN A PARKING LOT AND MY STEERING LOCKED AND BRAKES DIDN'T WORK. AS SOON AS I REALIZED I STALLED AND SLAMMED MY BRAKES, TRIED TO STEER AWAY FROM THE CAR BEHIND ME, IT WAS TOO LATE FOR THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I SLAMMED INTO A BUSINESS ASSOCIATE'S SUV THAT WAS PARKED AND WE BOTH HAVE ABOUT 3K WORTH OF DAMAGE.

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
1ST TRACKING NUMBER 10849876 - ADVANCE SERVICE TRACT (PROVIDED TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR) ON 3/16/2016, CONTACTED 24 HR DEALERSHIP TO RETRIEVE SUV. IN ADDITION TO THE SERVICE TRACT FAILURE (INDICATOR LIGHT SHOWING 2 CARS), NOW HAVE MULTIPLE PROBLEMS. PROBLEMS CONSIST OF: CROSS SERVICE SYSTEM FAULT, VEHICLES ROLLS FORWARD & BACKWARD AFTER STOPPING, AND A BIG CLUNK WHEN PUTTING IN A GEAR. SPOKE WITH THE (A) GM OF THE DEALERSHIP AND INFORMED HIM VEHICLE WAS IN FOR THE SERVICE TRACT FAILURE ON 2/8/2016 AND NOW I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND ADDITIONAL PROBLEM. I WAS ON A CITY STREET WHEN THE ADVANCE SERVICE TRACT IMMEDIATELY LIT UP WITH 2 INDICATORS ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL. ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN AND THE CROSS SERVICE SYSTEM FAULT LIGHT APPEARED WITH A TOOL LIKE OBJECT ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE STEERING WHEEL. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, THE CAR DID NOT WANT TO GO FORWARD, BARELY MOVING AND A TINY HILL TO PULL WAS IMPOSSIBLE. I IMMEDIATELY START DETOURING AWAY FROM MAJOR CITY STREET BECAUSE I HAD NOT IDEA WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND I NEEDED TO GET HOME WITH A SENIOR CITIZEN OVER 80 WITH ME. THE SUV HAD DIFFICULTY MOVING FORWARD. FOR A 2014 LINCOLN MKX, I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND APPARENTLY A CALL WAS MADE TO THE HOT LINE TO FIX THE ADVANCE SERVICE TRACT AND THE CROSS SERVICE SYSTEM FAULT. MY CONCERN, IS THE 2014 MKX A LINCOLN LEMON? RECEIVED SUV BACK ON 3/18/2016

WHEELS
I LIVE IN A NORTHERN AREA WHERE SALT IS USED TO DEICE ROADWAYS. I HAVE NOTICED THE CHROMED ALUMINUM RIMS ARE LOSING THE CHROME IN BIG STRIPS. I CANNOT KEEP AIR IN THE TIRES FOR MORE THAN 3 OR 4 DAYS AT A TIME BECAUSE THE CHROME AROUND THE TIRE INFLATERS WILL NOT SEAL CORRECTLY., ALSO THE RISK OF BEING CUT ON THE DEGRADING CHROME WHEN WASHING RIMS IS VERY DANGEROUS.IS THE CHROMING PROCESS AT FAULT AND IF SO WILL FORD REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE RIMS/
