STEERING
ON 12/10/2018 AT 5 PM I MADE A RIGHT TURN TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC WHEN MY POWER STEERING FAILED MID TURN. SHOCKED AND SURPRISED AT TO WHAT WAS HAPPENING, I VEERED INTO THE ON COMING TRAFFIC NOT BEING ABLE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN THE PROPER LANE BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF EFFORT REQUIRED TO STEER. I MISSED HAVING AN ACCIDENT BY INCHES AND CUT OFF A DRIVER WHOM GOT ANGRY WITH ME AND I THOUGHT MIGHT FOLLOW ME HOME. I WAS IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP THE CAR AND RESTART IT FOR SEVERAL BLOCKS. WHEN I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND STOP, I RESTARTED THE CAR AND THE POWER STEERING RETURNED AS NORMAL. ON THE MY LINCOLN OWNER WEBSITE, IT REPORTED MY CAR NEEDING A POWER STEERING UPDATE. ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS DURING THE PAST YEAR WHEN I HAD MY CAR IN TO THE LINCOLN DEALER FOR OTHER SERVICES, I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER. HE LOOKED SOMETHING UP ON HIS COMPUTER AND REPORTED MY CAR WAS OK, IGNORE THE MESSAGE.

WHILE DRIVING HOME ON A STREET MY SUNROOF EXPLODED. SOUNDED LIKE A BOMB. WE IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND CHECKED. NO IMPACT SEEN. A FEW DAYS LATER TOOK TO OUR LOCAL LINCOLN DEALERSHIP. THEY CLAIMED MAYBE A POSSIBLE IMPACT SEEN AND CAR NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY FOR GLASS. HAD TO PAY MY $500 DEDUCTIBLE AND HAVE IT FIXED. THERE WAS NO IMPACT. NO ONE AROUND US. WENT UNDER NO BRIDGES. LINCOLN NEEDS TO STEP UP AND FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON.

STEERING
"POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" LIGHT COMES ON AND POWER STEERING LOCKS UP OR BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. I BARELY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT. I HAD TO STOP THE CAR IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE I COULDN'T STEER THE CAR. I FOUND I COULD BARELY STEER THE CAR WITH GREAT EFFORT AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD. THIS VERY SAME ISSUE APPEARS TO BE ACROSS MANY FORD/LINCOLN 2010-2013 MODELS. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR APPARENTLY THE EXACT ISSUE IN 2015 (INCLUDED 2011-2013 LINCOLN MKT) BUT NOT THE 2010 WHICH I HAVE. MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT ISSUE. A QUICK RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS EXPERIENCED BY MANY FORD/LINCOLN CARS SHARING THE SAME "ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST" SYSTEM. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS ISSUE! THE STEERING OF THE CAR ITSELF BECOME LOCKED AND NEARLY INOPERABLE WHILE DRIVING. APPARENTLY THE NHTSA IS ALREADY LOOKING AT THIS VERY ISSUE (SEE HERE: HTTPS://WWW.DETROITNEWS.COM/STORY/BUSINESS/AUTOS/FORD/2016/10/03/FUSION-EDGE-NHTSA-INVESTIGATION/91473188/). THE NHTSA NEEDS TO KNOW THAT THE ISSUE IS COMMON TO THE "ELECTRONIC STEERING ASSIST SYSTEM" NOT ONLY IN THE "FUSION" OR "EDGE" BUT ACROSS MANY FORD/LINCOLN MODELS INCLUDING THE LINCOLN MKT. THE SPECIFIC FORD/LINCOLN PART IS A "TRW GEN 1 EPAS" MODULE. THIS SAME MODULE IS USED ON MANY FORD/LINCOLN CARS. ONLY SOME OF THE CARS CONTAINING THE "TRW GEN 1 EPAS" MODULE WERE PART OF PAST RECALLS. ALL FORD/LINCOLN MODELS CONTAINING THE "TRW GEN 1 EPAS" MODULE SHOULD BE RECALLED/REPAIRED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

2015 LINCOLN MKT HAS HAD TWO FORWARD SUNROOFS SHATTER SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN JULY OF 2017. THE FIRST OCCURRED WHEN A STONE KICKED FROM A TRUCK TIRE STRUCK IT. BUT THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED WITH NO SUCH TRAFFIC AROUND MY VEHICLE. THE GLASS SHATTERED AS I HEARD TWO LOUD CRACKS WITHIN ABOUT 5 SECONDS OF ONE ANOTHER. AGAIN, I OBSERVED NO TRAFFIC THAT WOULD LIKELY BE THE SOURCE OF A THROWN STONE, AND INDEED, OBSERVED NO OBJECTS INBOUND TO STRIKE MY VEHICLE. THE NATURE OF THE SECOND SUN ROOF'S BREAK LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THERE IS A SEVERE DEFECT IN THE REPLACEMENT SUN ROOF (PRESUMABLY SOURCED FROM FORD/LINCOLN, GIVEN IT'S EXPENSE AND THE TIME REQUIRED TO ACQUIRE IT).
