I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF AN AIRBAG RECALL AND THE TIME FROM NOTIFICATION TO REMEDY, WHICH AT THIS TIME STILL HAS YET TO BE DETERMINED, HAS BEEN EXTREMELY LONG AND LEAVING OWNERS IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION. I DEMAND THAT FORD IMMEDIATELY ADVISE WHEN A REMEDY BE AVAILABLE. THE TIME FOR WAITING IS OVER.

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

TAKATA RECALL THE RECALL IS DUE TO A DANGEROUS AND DEADLY FAILURE. THE FAILURE CAUSES SHRAPNEL TO IMPALE THE PASSENGERS, CAUSING DEATH. WHY HAVE I NOT BEEN INSTRUCTED TO STOP DRIVING? WHY IS A LOANER CAR NOT BEEN MADE AVAILABLE? WHY ARE THEY ALLOWED TO WAIT UNTIL 2017 TO MAKE THE PART AVAILABLE?

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
YESTERDAY (11/05/2016), I WAS GOING TO GO TO THE STORE. THE CAR STARTED FINE AND RAN FINE AS I BACKED IT OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY, BUT WHEN I WENT DOWN THE STREET IN FRONT OF OUR NEIGHBORS HOUSE, IT SUDDENLY FELT LIKE IT SHIFTED INTO A LOWER GEAR. I TURNED THE CORNER NEXT TO MY NEIGHBORS HOUSE AND PROCEEDED DOWN A HILL THAT'S THERE, BUT THE CAR STILL WOULD ONLY GO VERY SLOWLY. WHEN I GOT DOWN THE HILL, I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS IT SUDDENLY STARTED TO RUN FINE. I DROVE ANOTHER 7 OR 8 BLOCKS UNTIL STOPPING FOR A RED LIGHT, THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED THE WARNING LIGHTS SHOWING A WRENCH AND AN AIRBAG COME ON. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS TO MAKE IT GO, IT AGAIN WOULD ONLY GO AT A VERY SLOW SPEED. BY THE TIME I CROSSED THE STREET, THE LIGHT HAD SWITCHED BACK TO RED. TERRIFIED, I PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT ACROSS THE STREET AND NOTICED THE ODOMETER WAS SHOWING ALL ZEROS. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WENT INTO THE STORE, SHAKING AND VERY SCARED. I CAME BACK OUT PRAYING IT WOULD START UP AND RUN FINE. IT MADE A GRINDING NOISE AND SOUNDED LOUDER, BUT THEN IT STARTED RUNNING FINE AND DID SO ALL THE WAY HOME. I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR TWICE SINCE THEN FOR SHORT DISTANCES BUT HAVEN'T HAD IT HAPPEN AGAIN. WE BOUGHT THIS 2008 LINCOLN MKX USED WITH 92,474 MILES ON IT JUST 3 WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING. WHEN THIS OCCURRED, THERE WAS APPROXIMATELY 92,808 MILES ON IT. THAT'S A WHOPPING 334 MILES PUT ON IT BY US AS WELL AS OTHERS WHO TEST DROVE THE CAR SINCE THIS DEALER LISTED IT FOR SALE. SINCE THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, MY HUSBAND SUSPECTS THE POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTIONED OR A AWD FAULT OCCURRED, AS IT SHOWS IN THE OWNERS MANUAL, BUT SAID HE WOULDN'T RULE OUT OTHER POSSIBLE CAUSES. SINCE WE BOUGHT THIS FROM A USED CAR DEALER, THOUGH WE DID TAKE OUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THROUGH OUR CREDIT UNION, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT RIGHTS EXIST PROTECTING US.

POWER TRAIN
POWER TRAIN UNIT FAILURE - 89K MILES WITH WARRANTY BEING DECLINED DUE TO LUBRICATION ISSUE. APPARENTLY THE FLUID LEAKED AND THERE WAS NO WAY FOR MYSELF TO KNOW THIS AS FLUID IS VERY MINIMAL IN THIS UNIT THAT IT WOULDN'T EVEN SPILL DOWN TO THE GROUND PER THE DEALER.... THIS HAS CAUSED FAILURE TO THE UNIT - THIS IS A HUGE HIT TO THE WALLET AS WELL AS THE VEHICLE IS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN LARGE RATTLING NOISE AND CAR SHAKES.....REPLACEMENT COSTING $1600.00
