| 2009 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | I OWN A 2009 LINCOLN MKZ WITH ONLY 22,067 MILES ON IT AND THE ELECTRIC COOLING FAN MODULE WENT OUT. I WAS GOING 10 MPH WHEN STEAM STARTED COMING OUT FROM RIGHT FRONT SIDE OF HOOD. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP (ON A SUNDAY AND 200 MILES AWAY FROM HOME). WHEN CAR WAS INSPECTED ON SUNDAY, 7/21/13, THE THERMOSTAT AND COOLANT WAS REPLACED. AFTER TESTING, THE CAR STILL OVERHEATED. I HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR OVERNIGHT. ON MONDAY, JULY 22, 2013 THE TESTING RESUMED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE ELECTRIC COOLING FAN MODULE HAD FAILED. REPAIR SHOP HAD TO ORDER PART FROM A LINCOLN DEALER (25 MILES AWAY). THE PART WAS DELIVERED ON TUESDAY, JULY 23, 2013. AFTER REPLACEMENT OF THIS PART ($1,583.73) THE CAR WAS TESTED AND AVAILABLE FOR PICKUP ON WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 2013. ON THURSDAY, JULY 25, 2013, MY NEPHEW DROVE FROM CLOVIS, CA. TO PISMO BEACH, CA. AND PICKED UP MY CAR. I AM 72 YEARS OLD AND HAVE PURCHASED LINCOLN PRODUCTS FOR YEARS AS IT HAS BEEN A RELIABLE PRODUCT FOR ME. I WAS 200 MILES AWAY FROM HOME (CLOVIS, CA.) WHEN THE CAR FAILED. SINCE I AM ON DIALYSIS 3 TIMES A WEEK (MONDAY-WEDNESDAY-FRIDAY), I HAD NO CHOICE BUT THE INCUR THE COST OF A RENTAL VEHICLE TO GET ME BACK HOME FOR MY DIALYSIS CARE ON MONDAY. IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING TO ME THAT A 4 YEAR OLD CAR WITH ONLY 22,067 MILES ON IT, HAD THIS KIND OF FAILURE. I WOULD NOT EXPECT THAT FROM A LINCOLN PRODUCT. *TR |
| 2010 | POWER TRAIN | BACKED CROOKEDLY INTO PARKING SLOT IN PUBLIC PARKING LOT. TRIED TO STRAIGHTEN CAR IN SLOT BY SLOWLY MOVING FORWARD. CAR ON ITS OWN LURCHED AHEAD AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED; BRAKES HAD LITTLE EFFECT AND I STRUCK A PARKED CAR. SOMEHOW SHIFTED INTO REVERSE AND CAR ON ITS OWN GAINED FEROCIOUS SPEED TRAVELING BACKWARDS. THIS FORWARD, THEN BACKWARD PATTERN CONTINUED ON ITS OWN WHILE I STRUGGLED TO CONTROL THE STEERING WHEEL. IN REVERSE, CAR CONTINUED GAINING SPEED BEYOND MY CONTROL, WHEELING ABOUT THE PARKING LOT AND STRIKING 3 OR 4 ADDITIONAL AUTOS. DURING ALL THIS TIME THE CAR SHOT MOSTLY BACKWARD AT INCREASINGLY FASTER SPEEDS IN WIDE ARCS, IN PINBALL FASHION. EVENTUALLY THE REPEATED HAMMERING BY MY CAR AGAINST OTHER PARKED VEHICLES SLOWED MY CAR ENOUGH THAT I COULD BRAKE FINALLY, AND TURNED OFF THE ENGINE. ALTOGETHER MY AUTO HAD STRUCK AND SERIOUSLY DAMAGED 6 OTHER VEHICLES. ACCELERATOR SEEMED STUCK DURING THE EVENT, AND BRAKES HAD NO EFFECT UNTIL CAR'S SPEED WAS SUFFICIENTLY SLOWED--BEFORE OPERATING. DAMAGE TO MY AUTO, PARTICULARLY THE ENTIRE FRONT END--GRILL AND FRONT FENDERS--WAS EXTENSIVE. *TR |
