| 2008 | ENGINE | I WAS PROCEEDING DOWN A RAMP TO ENTER HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. I PUT MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE EVEN AFTER I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I WAS UNABLE TO SLOW DOWN TO ANY GREAT EXTENT AS THE ENGINE WAS RACING. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SEEM TO BE OFF THE FLOOR ( NOT STUCK TO THE FLOOR ) AT THE TIME. I WOULD ESTIMATE THAT MY SPEED WAS 85 MPH WHEN I PUT THE SHIFTER INTO NEUTRAL AND STOPPED THE CAR IN THE BREAKDOWN LANE. AT THIS TIME THE ENGINE WAS REVVING SO HIGH, I THOUGHT FOR SURE THE ENGINE WOULD BLOW. BEFORE I HAD THE PRESENCE OF MIND TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, THE ENGINE STOPPED REVVING AND WENT BACK TO AN IDLE. THE BRAKES WERE SMOKING BUT THERE DID NOT SEEM TO BE ANY OTHER DAMAGE. I CHECKED THE FLOOR MAT AND IT WAS NOT NEAR THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. WE WERE ON VACATION AT THE TIME AND ABOUT 600 MILES FROM HOME SO I CONTINUED THE TO DRIVE BUT NOT PUTTING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LINCOLN DEALER THREE DAYS LATER AND THEY FOUND NO CODES AND NOTHING THAT WOULD ALLOW THE ACCELERATOR TO STAY STUCK. THE INVOICE INDICATES THAT THEY PERFORMED KOEO, KOER, AND OASIS AND ALL SYSTEMS PASSED. *TR..UPDATED 06/09/14 *BF UPDATED 06/13/2014 *JS |
| 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 |
