| 2012 | ENGINE | TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 LINCOLN MKZ. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND WENT INTO LIMP MODE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHILE MAKING A TURN AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000. TYHE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE IDLES ROUGH AT STAND STILL. IT SURGES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM AN ALMOST BRAKING STOP WHILE DRIVING. THE GARAGE DOOR HOME LING FAILS AT TIMES. BRAKE PEDAL MAKES A CLUNKING NOISE WHEN RELEASED. HEADLINES SAGS IN THE FRONT OF REAR WINDOW. UPDATED 06/17/2013 *JS |
| 2010 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | I TOOK MY 2010 LINCOLN IN TO A LOCAL GARAGE FOR ANNUAL STATE INSPECTION. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION DUE TO BOTH REAR BRAKE LIGHTS NOT FUNCTIONING WHEN PARKING/HEADLIGHTS ARE ON. I THEN TOOK IT TO AN AUTHORIZED FORD DEALER. THEY ALSO FAILED IT FOR A SAFETY INSPECTION STICKER AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED BOTH REAR QUARTER MOUNT LED TAIL LIGHTS. THEY WOULD COST ME APPROXIMATELY $525. EACH. I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO LOOK FOR PROPERLY FUNCTIONING USED LIGHTS. I HAVE RETURNED 2 LIGHTS SO FAR BECAUSE THEY MALFUNCTIONED THE SAME AS MINE. THIS TELLS ME THAT MINE IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE AND MANY LINCOLN MKZ DRIVERS ARE OPERATING UNSAFELY, UNKNOWN TO THEM. I FEEL THIS IS A DIRECT SAFETY HAZARD IN LIGHT THAT I WAS DRIVING WITHOUT ANY BRAKE LIGHTS FOR AN UNDETERMINED TIME. MY 2010 LINCOLN MKZ IS ONLY 6,000 MILES OVER THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND SAFETY RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED BY FORD MOTOR CO. *TR |
