STEERING GEAR STOPPED WORKING, CAUSED THE CAR TO LOCK UP STEERING WHILE DRIVING SIMALAR AS RECALL 19S26. WE FEEL THIS CAR SHOULD ADDED TO THE CURRENT RECALLS FOR THIS SAME MATTER.
Rear backup camera works intermittently. Can be backing up and viewing screen goes dark. Original equipment, no damage to automobile. Has been malfunctioning for several months now.
The contact owns a 2014 Lincoln MKZ. The contact stated that the rearview camera displayed a flipped image while reversing. The dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in a related recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
Rear view camera failure. When the vehicle is put in reverse, the rear view camera does not come on creating a safety hazard while backing up since you don't always have a line of sight due to other vehicles parked next to you. A warning message eventually pops up that says "Camera is unavailable. Please contact your dealership." The dealership diagnosed the problem on July 2, 2024 shortly after the problem started and advised that the camera needs to be replaced. The cost at that time would have been $1,230 plus tax to replace it and I have already spent $166.60 for the diagnotics. The car is available for inspection. A recall has been issued by Ford for rear view camera failures. My car is not included in the recall but I feel the recall should be extended to include my car and VIN as this is a safety hazard due to equipment failure. I have attached a copy of the invoice and quote from the Ford dealership. I am also attaching photos of the camera failure taken while the vehicle is in reverse.
A light came on for steering loss, stop safely and lock down my car. We are unable to drive it. The issue is the same to the recall number 19526 and possibly number 18508. Which my car is listed. The steering becsme difficult to turn and then eventually the light came on for steering loss and the car has been disabled. I looked up our Vin number [XXX] , and it was not included on this recall. However we believe it should be. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I was sitting in idle staying warm in car. When I decided to leave, I noticed I couldn't turn the steering wheel or that it was very difficult to steer. I have not had this issue inspected. The warning lights that was on before was "service advancedtrac", "collision warning not available" "drive control malfunction service required". I called Sons Ford Auburn where they stayed there was no recall for this issue. I also called Lincoln customer service where they told me the recall doesn't fall under my vehicle due to it being a hybrid and that I don't have the bolts associated with the recall.

The problem with this car is that the backup camera stopped working on my car. The line are gone and the image is reversed. The dealing told me it was the camera and it was almost $1,000 to replace it. I did notdo it, but now I am finding many othes with the same broplem. The safety issue is that when I back up and I am not sure if what I am seeing is accurate.

I push my start button and it makes the starting nose and after a few minutes it starts and when I go to move it stalls out and then won't start again or starts and stalls again. But the next day drives fine. And it has been happening now for months even after we fixed the high rich codes it was giving out but now there's no codes appearing.

User interface for HVAC, entertainment system, and everything through the Ford Sync screen is unusable. Had this repaired 11 months prior. Issue returned. Dealer says , “There are several things going on with it. 1 The front inter face control module 2. Display screen and 3. APIM. Parts labor and tax it would run $2,670.00.” There are many instances of reports of these issues with not only the MKZ models, but with many of Ford’s lineup including Ford and Lincoln vehicles. Safety implications are uncontrollable heat (unsafe temperature levels and fatigue inducing), uncontrollable sound levels (distracting and can’t hear environment), loss of hands free, loss of backup camera.

The steering wheel on my 2014 Lincoln MKZ almost came off while driving. An internet search yielded information that there was a 2018 recall on Lincoln and Ford vehicles with the same problem. I took my vehicle to the local Lincoln dealer for repair and asked them to find the recall. They told me that it had not had a recall and refused to fix it based on the recall, but at my expense. The specifics of the recall (Ford reference 18S08) were that it was for 2014-2108 MKZ manufactured in the Hermosillo Assembly Plant in Mexico. Research has shown that my MKZ was manufactured in the Hermosillo Assembly Plant. My complaint is that the recall was for an identical year, make and model in the same manufacturing plant and common sense would tell you that there was a manufacturing defect, but that FORD/Lincoln did not capture all the affected vehicles. This is a serious and dangerous problem. The steering wheel almost came off in my hands 9 years later. Lincoln should be required to identify the vehicles manufactured in that facility during that time period that were not identified for recall and contact those owners for repair at their expense. I contacted Lincoln corporate recall center and while somewhat helpful with information, they were totally uninterested in my suggestions.
There were original rear struts on the vehicle. When we purchased it. We replaced the rear struts about 4 years ago. Drivers rear was clunking and leaking. We are in need to replace again now. Clunking but also bouncing around which scared me terrible on Highway. I just don’t think in 9 years and 85,000 (approx) miles. You should have to have three different sets. I think there is a problem with the drivers struts.

Backed out of garage and tried to turn the wheel and couldn’t! Very hard to turn!
At different times, while driving at a low speed my steering wheel will not turn. Additionally, all these random drive assistance system lights are reflected on the dashboard. I believe it's the Electric power assist system that has a recall with the 2014 Lincoln MKZ not the Lincoln MKZ Hybrid. For example, Hill Start Assist Not Available, Check Adaptive Headlamps etc. This started December 1, 2022, and has been an on-going issue. I have to restart the car in order to continue to drive.
As I was driving, the power, steering failure light came on. It began to be difficult to steer. Once I pulled over, stop the car and restart it again the steering system was locked. Other warning lights with regards to collision control, etc. came on. Many other people have reported this problem with the steering mechanism on this particular car.

Unknown. I purchased the car like this from a car dealership. When turning the tires are rubbing against something that makes the car start shaking every time it turns. The seat started going sideways and won’t move anymore The tires make an ugly noise when you press on the brakes

Front left brake line split open and lost brake fluid. This was not caused by any damage from outside items ...there was a failure of the tubing right near the end crimp.
Rear view camera intermittently does not work. Rear view mirrors don’t provide enough field of view to see all behind the car without assistance of the camera. Vehicle shows error message.
