TAKATA RECALL WAS ISSUED IN JULY 2016 BY THE LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY. TO DATE (8 MONTHS LATER), THERE HAS BEEN NO NOTICE OF WHEN THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL BE REPLACED. IN THE MEANTIME, THERE ARE CHILDREN AND ADULTS WHO RIDE IN THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SEAT. IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, THEY COULD BE SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN TAKEN CARE OF?

DRIVER DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT IS ON. HAS BEEN REPAIRED ONCE UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN ON, THE DOOR LOCKS DO NOT SECURE THE VEHICLE SHOULD IT BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT! APPEARS TO BE A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH FORDS BUT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. A RECALL SHOULD MANDIDATED.

AIR BAGS
WE RECEIVED THE RECALL IN JUNE FOR A LEAKY FUEL TANK. WE HAD THAT FIXED. IN JULY 2016 WE RECEIVED THE RECALL FOR THE FAULTY TAKATA PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS. WE WENT INTO BILL KNIGHT LINCOLN IN TULSA, OK ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS TO FIX IT. IN THE MEANTIME, A FRIEND OF MINE INITIALLY GOT A UNLIMITED LOANER CAR BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF HER COUNSELING JOB WITH CHILDREN. SHE DROVE DIFFERENT CARS IN THE MEANTIME WHILE I HAVE BEEN STUCK WITH THE WARNING OF POSSIBLE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO OCCUPANTS IN THE CAR FOR THE LAST 8 MONTHS. IT IS STRESSFUL FOR ME TO THINK ABOUT THAT, TO SAY THE LEAST, FOR ME AND FOR ANYONE ELSE WHO MIGHT BE WITH ME IN THE CAR. SINCE THE RECALL, NO ONE SITS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE. FRIENDS AND FAMILY HAVE TO SIT IN THE BACK. EVEN SO, I STILL DON'T FEEL WE ARE ALL FREE FROM DANGEROUS FLYING DEBRIS IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS, BY NO FAULT OF MY OWN. ARE THERE ANY SOLUTIONS SET IN PLACE TO EXPEDITE REPLACEMENT. BTW, MY FRIEND RECEIVED HER REPLACEMENT AIRBAG MONTHS AGO. SHE THEN TRADED IN THAT CAR FOR A NEW ONE. REGRETFULLY, SOME OF US DO NOT HAVE THAT LUXURY.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DOORS FAIL TO LATCH, WITH SEVERAL REPORTS INDICATING THAT THE 'DOOR AJAR' WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH APPEARED AND CABIN LIGHTS STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING AND STAYS ON AFTER CLOSING DOORS! THE ONLY WAY TO TURN THEM OFF IS TO UNPLUG BATTERY! THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THAT I HAVE BEEN REPAIRING DIFFERENT DOORS LATCH AND I AM SURPRISED WHY CAR SAFETY RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED YET ON THESE MODELS. IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR AND IT'S A CAUSING A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING NIGHT TIME WITH CABIN LIGHT ON AND AJAR WARNING SYSTEM IS OFF!!!! PLEASE NOTE THAT SAME ISSUE OCCURS EVERY YEAR WITH MORE THAN ONE DOOR (2014/2015/2016/2017)

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TAKATA RECALL WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ALL OF A SUDDEN THE WRENCH LIGHT COME ON AND THE SPEEDOMETER QUIT WORKING AND TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR MONITOR FAILURE LIGHT CAME ON. THEN RPM PICKED UP TO 3000 WAS LOOSING POWER, DROVE 3 MILES TO NEAREST WIDE SPOT. PUT VEHICLE IN PARK CUT ENGINE OFF, LET IT SIT , ALL LIGHTS WENT OFF , PUT IT IN REVERSE IT JERKED ABNORMALLY HARD AND WHEN I PUT IT IN DRIVE IT WOULD NOT PULL OUT. VEHICLE NOW WILL NOT DRIVE FORWARD AT ALL. WHEN WE FINALLY GOT HOME WITH OUR SON I LOOKED ONLINE TO FIND THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS DONE THIS TO OTHER PEOPLE. I WENT TO YOU TUBE AND TYPED IN 2008 LINCOLN MKX AND WAS AMAZED TO FIND THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AND IT SAYS ITS SOMETHING WITH A SPEED SENSORS FOR THE TRANSMISSION. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLIANTS SIMILAR TO MINE. I FEEL IF THIS WERE TO HAPPEN TO SOMEONE WHO WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IT COULD GET THEM KILLED. PLEASE LOOK INTO TO THIS AND SEE IF A RECALL NEEDS DONE FOR THE SAFETY OF EVERYONE. THANKS

ENGINE
I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY 2016 MKX, PURCHASED IN JUNE OF 2016. THE EXHAUST SYSTEM HAS BEEN LEAKING INTO THE CABIN. I ACTUALLY TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE, BUT THE CAR DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE. THEY CLEANED UNDERNEATH THE EXHAUST LINES AND IT HAS IMPROVED. THE VEHICLE IS USUALLY IN MOTION, I LIVE IN AN AREA WITH HILLS USUALLY AFTER CLIMBING UP A HILL OF A CITY STREET. I HAVE NOTICED THE SMELL LINGERING EVEN AFTER I'VE BEEN OUT OF THE CAR. I'VE SEEN ON OTHER SITES WHERE OTHER LINCOLN OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED AS WELL. I'M POSTING THIS MESSAGE AS I BELIEVE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM ISSUE FOR FORD IS BEYOND JUST THE FORD LINE AND ALSO LINCOLN.

ENGINE
ENGINE TEMPERATURE SUDDENLY SPIKED AND THE ON-BOARD COMPUTER SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING ON LOCAL HIGHWAY. SPEED ABOUT 45 MPH AND WAS ABLE TO PULL TO SHOULDER. OPENED HOOD AND FOUND THE COOLANT RESERVOIR EMPTY SO ADDED WATER AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE THREE MILES TO HOME. ADDED ADDITIONAL COOLANT BUT SHORTLY THEREAFTER (5 - 7 MILES OF DRIVING) THE ENGINE STARTED TO RUN ROUGH AND ENDED UP HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO THE LINCOLN/FORD DEALERSHIP.THE DEALER REPORTS THAT THE WATER PUMP WHICH IS INTERANAQL HAS FAILED RESULTING IN COOLANT AND DEBRIS ENTERING THE CRANKCASE AND CONTAMINATING THE ENGINE OIL. ON-LINE RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP ESTIMATES THAT THE REPAIR COST WILL BE $3,100.00 BUT THIS IS FOR THE WATER PUMP AND MOTOR OIL ONLY AND DOES NOT ADDRESS ANY ABRASION OR DAMAGE TO THE CAM SHAFT.

I PURCHASED MY LINCOLN MKX 2013 NEW FROM SUTTON FORD. THE TIRES ON THE CAR AT THE TIME WERE PIRELLI SCORPION TIRES. WITHIN LESS THAN YEAR FROM TIRE EXPLODED FROM THE SIDE WALL WHILE ON MY WAY TO WORK. NO ONE WAS HURT. HOWEVER, I HAD TO REPLACE THE TIRE. LESS THAN A MONTH LATER TWO OTHER TIRES BEGAN TO LEAK WITH REPORT INITIALLY THAT IT WAS THE 20" CHROME ALLOY WHEEL WHICH WAS MALFUNCTIONING. THE REMAINING FOUR TIRES AND WHEELS WERE REPLACED LESS THAN A YEAR LATER I WAS CALLED A DEALER CLOSE TO WORK WHERE I HAD TAKEN THE CAR FOR OIL CHANGE AND TO REPORT RUMBLING WHEN I WAS DRIVING. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THAT DEALERSHIP STATING THE CAR WAS "UNSAFE TO DRIVE" THERE ISSUE WITH ESSENTIALLY ALL THE TIRES WITH SIDE WALL RUPTURE IMPENDING ON ONE AND REMAINING THREE WITH SEVERE COMPROMISE. THESE TIRES WERE LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL FACILITY FOR REPAIR. MY EXTENDED WARRANTLY ONLY PAID FOR 75 DOLLARS OF THE TOW. WHICH WAS 100 DOLLARS FOR ME. I HAD FOUR NEW GOODYEAR TIRES PUT ON THE CAR AND DROVE HOME THAT EVENING . THE NEXT MORNING WE AWOKE TO FIND TWO OF THE TIRES WERE FLAT. I HAD TO HAVE A SECOND TOW TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THETECHNICIAN THERE REPORTED A DEFECT WITHIN MY WHEELS.

POWER TRAIN
VEHICLE STARTED MAKING HUMMING SOUND WHILE ACCELERATING AT LOW SPEED. NOTICED A LEAK OF VERY DARK FLUID THE FOLLOWING DAY. TOOK IT TO MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A LEAKING PTU (POWER TRANSFER UNIT). I'VE LOOKED INTO THIS AND THERE APPEARS TO BE A ISSUE WITH THE DESIGN ON THE SEALS. IT APPEARS TO BE A PREVALENT ISSUE WITH FORD EDGE/LINCOLN MKX THAT HAS NOT BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED/CORRECTED BY FORD. I'VE ATTACHED A LINK SHOWING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS AND SOME EXAMPLES OF PEOPLE LOSING POWER/ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING. HTTP://GOTACLASSACTION.COM/15796-2/. *TR
