My 2007 Lincoln MKX had an SUA and within 10 feet totaled the front end when it was thrust into a cement building. This happened On [XXX] and the vehicle is available for inspection here in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. In 2010 Lincoln implemented an override device to the brake system knowing of the problem and there was no recall for vehicles prior to 2010. My safety was put at risk and that of others. If someone had been exiting the store or walking down the sidewalk they could have been killed. I am suffering with physical and mental problems as a result of this. Police report also states this was definitely a vehicle malfunction. There were no warning signs prior to the incident. Claim has been filed with the Office of General Council at Lincoln, but remains unresolved to date. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Crash 1 injured

My 2007 Lincoln MKX was in Drive with the brake depressed waiting to back up into a traffic lane from an angled parking space in front of a small shop in our historic downtown area. Suddenly, the vehicle accelerated forward at a high rate of speed jumping the shallow curb and slamming into the cement foundation of the store. Continuing to depress the brakes made no difference in stopping the jarring unintended forward motion. The speed moving forward was so high that in the 10-12 feet from the curb to the store entrance the impact demolished the entire front of the vehicle even bending the front axels. The airbags did not deploy at all. The witness interviewed, reported loud screeching tires as her back was to the scene during the collision. Local PD, EMS and Fire all responded, with a full police report filed. It was extremely fortunate no person was either on the sidewalk or in the entrance to the storefront. My injuries included severe bruising to the right side of my neck, as well as a hematoma on my right tibia and an oblique fracture to bones in my right foot. There were no passengers in the car with me. The accident, and extreme concern over the malfunction of the vehicle allowing it to take control away from myself as the driver, has been reported to Ford Lincoln and a claim number established. My insurance company took possession of the vehicle from the tow lot after three days after determining it was a total loss. To reiterate, there was no warning at all before the incident. I was simply waiting for traffic to clear, so I could put the vehicle from Drive into Reverse and pull out of the parking space.

Crash 1 injured

The contact owned a 2007 Lincoln MKX. The contact stated that while driving at 50 MPH, he dosed off and hit a tree. The air bags did not deploy upon impact. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was able to be driven back to his home after the accident. The contact sought medical treatment for an injury to his pelvis due to the accident. The vehicle was placed under NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V158000(Air Bags) but was never serviced. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle was totaled. The failure mileage was approximately 240,000.

Crash 1 injured

The contact owns a 2007 Lincoln MKX. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V682000 (Fuel System, Gasoline). The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to the dealer for the recall repair; however, the dealer was waiting for approval from the manufacturer to perform other unknown repairs due to corrosion near the fuel tank. The vehicle remained unrepaired at the dealer for 28-days. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 195,000.

I purchased the vehicle a few months ago from a small used dealership in Anderson, SC. The seller/owner raved about the condition of the car and all seemed well until after the purchase when I discovered there was an Open Recall for the driver's airbag. However, when I contacted the local Ford dealership and the NHTSA website I found there is "No Remedy" available from Ford. According to various websites, I find that the risk factor is listed as RED due to the extreme temp variation and perpetual humidity in South Carolina, but some state is getting these replacement bags, though not here. We do not have a garage or carport so the car is outside and subject to all the variations constantly. I can find no means of notifying Ford that I am the new owner of this VIN so will never receive the mandated mail notification. I am elderly and do not believe I should have to wait until there is an explosion in order to get some action. Takata cannot be the only manufacturer of airbags. My vehicle needs to be made safe NOW and not THEN. Somehow I would bet that a bag is available if I were able to afford it on my own.

The contact owns a 2007 Lincoln MKX. The contact received a notification for NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V158000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The dealer had been notified of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The contact stated that the driver’s and passenger’s side airbag warning lights were illuminated. The manufacturer had been notified of the issue. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The failure mileage was approximately 230,000. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Manufacturer has not supplied the front air bag replacement part.

While driving between 35 to 60 the car is very noisy in Gear. checked all fluids and under carriage and it’s leaking oil from the ptu

Dual climate control only heating on passenger side driver’s side is not heating it has 115000 it’s a 2007 mkx it is also leaking fluid from the ptu the car is only 10 months old this is ridiculous ford should be issuing recalls for these as there are many people that have the same complaints for the faulty parts someone is going to get hurt if ford doesnt recall these parts

Transmission shudders at various shift points but mostly during slight increase in acceleration between 40 to 55 MPH.

A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a police lot. The contact stated no warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an unknown dealer and diagnosed but not repaired.

HEAVEN FORBID IF MY CAR WOULD HAVE LOCKED UP LIKE THAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. THAT COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY AT 65 MPH! THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED AS THERE SEEMS TO BE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS ISSUE. LETS NOT WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE GETS REAR ENDED INTO OBLIVION BECAUSE OF THE FORD COMPANY FAILING TO BUILD.THESE VEHICLES SAFELY!

MY 2007 MKX ONLY HAS 135,000 MILES SINCE PURCHASE WE'VE HAD TO CHANGE FRONT AXLES, CALIPERS, 2 SETS OF LIFETIME BRAKES BUT MOST CONCERNING IS THE PTU HAS TO BE CHANGED. AS I WAS LOOKING INTO PTU INFORMATION I HAVE CAME ACROSS DETAILED INFORMATION THAT THE PTU IS A KNOWN ISSUE THROUGH THE MANUFACTURER SO I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THERE'S NO RECALL ON THIS ONGOING ISSUE. I WAS DRIVING AND STARTED HEARING A LOUD METAL THUMPING AND FELT LIKE WHEELS WERE TRYING TO LOCK UP AND WHEN BACKING INTO DRIVEWAY IT STARTED JUMPING.

ONLY 118,000 MILES ALL MY 2007 LINCOLN MKX AND THE TRANSMISSION IS OUT OH, I BOUGHT A LINCOLN BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE A GOOD VEHICLE TO BUY JUST BECAUSE THE NAME I GUESS BUT I GUESS I WAS WRONG BECAUSE YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE A TRANSMISSION OUT AT 118000 MILES.

IF I DIDN'T GET OFF THE HIGHWAY WHEN I DID I WOULD OF BEEN INVOLVED IN A CAR CRASH BECAUSE I COULDN'T EVEN DO THE SPEED LIMIT. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE IT'S CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO TASCA THEY SAID THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER SAID IT WAS THE PCM, MIGHT HAVE BURNT OUT THE COILS AND SPARK PLUGS. I FEEL THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHAT IF I WASN'T WHERE I COULD GET OFF THE HIGHWAY IT COULD OF CAUSED A BAD ACCIDENT OR EVEN DEATH.

I REACHED OUT TO LINCOLN/FORD COMPANY LAST WEEK IN REGARDS TO STATED LETTER AND THE ERROR CODES OF P0356 AND P1299, WHICH HAS TO WHAT I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY (2) DIFFERENT CARE REPAIR SHOPS THAT THESE ARE COMMON ERROR IN FORD EDGE AND LINCOLN MKX. THESE CODES ARE RELATED TO THE PCU MODULE AND THE IGNITION COILS NOT BE READ BY THE PCU MODULE. I TOOK THE LIBERTY OF RESEARCHING AND I JUST WENT BACK TO 2013 AND FOUND THAT OVER 100 OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I REPAIRED MINE TWICE ALREADY AND ITS STILL AN ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE PCU MODULE , WHICH IS PRICED AT OVER $800 ALONE. I WAS CONVERSING WITH LISA RELAFORD, WHO IS THE CONCIERGE SERVICE MANAGER AT LINCOLN CLIENT RELATIONSHIP CENTER, WHO BASICALLY STATED THAT IF THE CAR IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY THAT THEY CAN NOT ASSIST WITH ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE,. WHICH IS CLEARLY A LIE. I HAVE RECENTLY HAD A RECALL ON MY AIRBAG AND A FUEL PUMP VIA LINCOLN, AT THAT TIME MY TRUCK WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THEY WERE REPLACED. SO, THAT IS CLEARLY A CONTRADICTION. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A FAULTY PART THAT OVER HUNDRED OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD AND I AM INQUIRING AS TO WHY IT WAS NEVER RECALLED OR THE PART REPLACED. I HAVE CHANGED MY IGNITION COILS TWICE , WHICH COST ABOUT $80 EACH ($160) AND THE IDIRIUM SPARK PLUGS THAT ARE REQUIRED FOR MY TRUCK WHICH COST ABOUT $20 EACH ($40). I WOULD THIBNK THAT SOMEONE, WHILE DRIVING WHOSE TRUCK LOSES POWER ON THE HIGHWAY, USUSALLY GOING AT ABOUT 60 MPH, IS A MAJOR CONCERN AND IN SOME WAYS LIFE THREATING. WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME . THIS MATTER IS OF HIGH IMPORTANCE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. PLEASE REFER TO THE LETTER THAT WAS SUBMITTED IN SEPTEMBER BY ME AND GET BACK TO ME WITH AN ANSWER , AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN MY TRUCK IS NOT DRIVEABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LINCOLN MKX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSIVE SOUND. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND DISCOVERED THAT THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 258,000.

THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED ON THIS VEHICLE LEAVING THE VEHICLE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP

THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND IS MISSING GEARS AND SMELL FUNKY

I AM INQUIRING ABOUT WHY THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY ISSUES WITH THE LINCOLN MKX FROM YEAR 2007-2009 IGNITION COILS CONNECTING TO THE PCM OR COMPUTER AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN AN RECALLED ISSUED. I CALLED AN THIS TWO MONTHS AGO AND MADE A COMPLAINT AT THE [XXX] NUMBER. I WAS NEVER CONTACTED. I HAD NO ISSUES WITH MY TRUCK THEN ABOUT LAST MARCH I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY DRIVING AND JUST LOSE POWER. I WENT TO AUTOZONE AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A MISFIRED. I HAVE BEEN TO TWO DIFFERENT AUTO REPAIR SHOPS TTO HAVE THIS ISSUE ADDRESSED AND CHANGE OUT THE COILS AND BOTH HAVE ADVISED ME THAT THE COMPUTER IS NOT READING THE COIL, WHICH IS STANDARD IN MY TYPE OF TRUCK. I AM MAKING AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP THIS WEEK TO HAVE MY AIR BAG REPLACED FOR ANOTHER RECALL THIS IS THE SECOND ONE SINCE I HAVE THIS CAR. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THIS MATTER ADDRESSED AND I ALSO WOULD LIKE A RETURN CALL OR EMAIL BACK IN RETURN TO THIS COMPLAINT. *JS PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

TAKATA RECALL - FOR THREE WEEKS NOW, I'VE BEEN TRYING TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR ON MY LINCOLN MKX'S PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AFTER GETTING THE NOTIFICATION FROM LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY + MY SAFETY RECALL NUMBER. ALL FOUR OF THE LINCOLN FORD DEALERSHIPS NEAR ME IN WASHINGTON ARE EITHER (1) NOT CALLING ME BACK, OR (2) HAVE A WAIT LIST OF CUSTOMERS THAT IS 450 OWNERS DEEP (EVERGREEN LINCOLN FORD)!!! THAT IS A TWO YEAR WAITLIST. THIS RECALL SOUNDS SERIOUS, BUT IT SEEMS THE DEALERSHIPS AROUND ME HAVE ZERO INCENTIVE OR DESIRE TO FIX A POTENTIALLY DEADLY DEFECT IN THE AIRBAG. MAYBE BECAUSE IT IS FREE? I'M UNSURE BUT I WANTED TO FORMALLY LOG THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE ALL OF THE VIDEOS, LETTERS, MESSAGES FROM LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY STATE THIS DEFECT IS VERY DANGEROUS, BUT THE DEALERSHIPS DONT CARE. IT'S TERRIFYING THAT MYSELF, MY FAMILY, MY CHILDREN, OR FRIENDS COULD DIE BECAUSE OF SHRAPNEL THROWN OUT BY THIS DEFECTIVE AIRBAG SHOULD THERE BE AN ACCIDENT.
