  DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND TRANSMISSION SHIFT TO LOW BY ITSELF. IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET IT. THE PTU IS LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID. YOUNEVERKNOW WHEN IT IS LOW. THIS CAR HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT WAS MANUFACTURED AND THEY NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND NEEDS A HEAT SHIELD BETWEEN THE PTU AND THE ENGINE TO KEEP IT FROM LEAKING AND CAUSING DANGEROUS SITUATIONS ON THE ROAD. THE CAR SMOKES SO BAD THAT IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS ON FIRE. SCARED TO DRIVE BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THE FLUID IS LOW. YOU CAN SEE THE LEAK FROM THE PTU UNDER THE CAR. NOT MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS WEBSITE. THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS IF IT DOESN'T GET RECALLED SOON. WHEN THE CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. SO THEY FIXED IT THEN BUT WHEN THE WARRANTY WAS UP. IT WAS UP TO THE CUSTOMER TO DISHUP 2500.00 TO FIX IT. YOU CAN CALL AMCCO IN ZANESVILLE OHIO THEY WILL TELL YOU HOW MANY GOT FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM IS THE PTU IS SO CLOSE TO THE ENGINE IT BURNS THE FLUID IN IT. EVENTUALLY IT WEARS OUT OTHER SEALS IN THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH MAKES THINGS WORST. MY CAR SITS MOST OF THE TIME. TOO SCARED TO DRIVE IT. PLEASE HELP ME GET A RECALL ON THIS. IF YOU LOOK UP PROBLEMS WITH 2008 LINCOLN MKX YOU WILL SEE THAT IS ONE OF THE MAIN PROBLEMS

  TAKATA RECALL MY VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. I WAS APPROVED FOR A RENTAL CAR IN MAY 2018, WHICH I HAD BEEN DRIVING UNTIL 5 OCT 2018. I RECEIVED THE PHONE CALL FROM MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, GARY SMITH FORD IN FORT WALTON BEACH, FL ABOUT A WEEK PRIOR THE THE 5TH OF OCTOBER INFORMING ME MY AIRBAGS WERE IN AND I COULD BRING MY VEHICLE IN FOR REPLACEMENT. I BROUGHT IT IN FOR A 1200 APPOINTMENT ON 05 OCTOBER 2018. MY HUSBAND WENT TO PICK THE VEHICLE UP, WHICH HE HAD TO DROP OFF THE RENTAL VEHICLE BEFOREHAND AND GET THE RECEIPT TO GIVE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP BEFORE HE COULD GET MY VEHICLE BACK. HE WAS WAITING FOR AWHILE BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP WAS BUSY AND THEY EVENTUALLY TOLD HIM THAT THEY WOULD MAIL THE RECEIPT/SERVICE PAPERWORK TO US, WHICH WE STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED TO THIS DAY. SINCE I RECEIVED MY VEHICLE BACK, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT ON A DAILY BASIS WITH NO CONCERNS. TODAY, 09 NOV 2018 AT 5:22 PM I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM GARY SMITH FORD TO NOTIFY ME THAT MY AIRBAGS HAVE ARRIVED AND I MAY SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE MY VEHICLE FIXED. I TOLD THE WOMAN I HAD ALREADY BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN ABOUT A MONTH AGO TO HAVE MY AIRBAGS REPLACED AND SHE SOUNDED SURPRISED. SHE ASKED IF I WERE STILL IN A RENTAL CAR, IN WHICH I TOLD HER NO BECAUSE MY AIRBAGS HAD SUPPOSEDLY BEEN REPLACED. SHE TRIED TO GET OFF THE PHONE WITH ME QUICKLY BUT I INTERRUPTED HER AND ASKED HER TO VERIFY IN THE SYSTEM THAT MY AIRBAGS HAD BEEN REPLACED. SHE TOLD ME SHE HAD NO RECORD OF ANY SERVICE ON MY VEHICLE IN THE SYSTEM. SHE ASKED A COWORKER, WHOM WAS APPARENTLY ABLE TO VERIFY THE SERVICE. THIS PHONE CALL LEFT ME UNEASY SO I CHECKED MY VIN ON THIS WEBSITE FOR OPEN RECALLS AND IT STATES AS OF 09 NOV 2018, THERE IS STILL AN OPEN RECALL FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAG ON MY VEHICLE.

  YESTERDAY (11/05/2016), I WAS GOING TO GO TO THE STORE. THE CAR STARTED FINE AND RAN FINE AS I BACKED IT OUT OF OUR DRIVEWAY, BUT WHEN I WENT DOWN THE STREET IN FRONT OF OUR NEIGHBORS HOUSE, IT SUDDENLY FELT LIKE IT SHIFTED INTO A LOWER GEAR. I TURNED THE CORNER NEXT TO MY NEIGHBORS HOUSE AND PROCEEDED DOWN A HILL THAT'S THERE, BUT THE CAR STILL WOULD ONLY GO VERY SLOWLY. WHEN I GOT DOWN THE HILL, I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS IT SUDDENLY STARTED TO RUN FINE. I DROVE ANOTHER 7 OR 8 BLOCKS UNTIL STOPPING FOR A RED LIGHT, THAT'S WHEN I NOTICED THE WARNING LIGHTS SHOWING A WRENCH AND AN AIRBAG COME ON. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS TO MAKE IT GO, IT AGAIN WOULD ONLY GO AT A VERY SLOW SPEED. BY THE TIME I CROSSED THE STREET, THE LIGHT HAD SWITCHED BACK TO RED. TERRIFIED, I PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT ACROSS THE STREET AND NOTICED THE ODOMETER WAS SHOWING ALL ZEROS. I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND WENT INTO THE STORE, SHAKING AND VERY SCARED. I CAME BACK OUT PRAYING IT WOULD START UP AND RUN FINE. IT MADE A GRINDING NOISE AND SOUNDED LOUDER, BUT THEN IT STARTED RUNNING FINE AND DID SO ALL THE WAY HOME. I HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR TWICE SINCE THEN FOR SHORT DISTANCES BUT HAVEN'T HAD IT HAPPEN AGAIN. WE BOUGHT THIS 2008 LINCOLN MKX USED WITH 92,474 MILES ON IT JUST 3 WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING. WHEN THIS OCCURRED, THERE WAS APPROXIMATELY 92,808 MILES ON IT. THAT'S A WHOPPING 334 MILES PUT ON IT BY US AS WELL AS OTHERS WHO TEST DROVE THE CAR SINCE THIS DEALER LISTED IT FOR SALE. SINCE THE WRENCH WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, MY HUSBAND SUSPECTS THE POWERTRAIN MALFUNCTIONED OR A AWD FAULT OCCURRED, AS IT SHOWS IN THE OWNERS MANUAL, BUT SAID HE WOULDN'T RULE OUT OTHER POSSIBLE CAUSES. SINCE WE BOUGHT THIS FROM A USED CAR DEALER, THOUGH WE DID TAKE OUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THROUGH OUR CREDIT UNION, WE DON'T KNOW WHAT RIGHTS EXIST PROTECTING US.
