• 12/31/2014· WHEELS

  CHROME PLATING IS FLAKING OFF, AND TIRES CONSISTENTLY LOSE AIR PRESSURE. I CONTACTED RAY PRICE FORD IN STROUDSBURG, PA AND THEY SAID THIS SOMETIMES HAPPENS, BUT NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE. I CONTACTED MY TIRE PERSON AND HE TRIED TO BRUSH OFF THE EXCESS CHROME AROUND SEAL TO GET A BEAD, BUT NO LUCK. A NEW WHEEL IS AROUND $400, SO I GOT A USED ONE. SIMILAR ISSUES, BUT NOT AS FREQUENT. HOWEVER, OTHER WHEELS ARE BEGINNING TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE (LOSING AIR PRESSURE). A SET OF NEW WHEELS WOULD BE OVER $1500, WHICH IS NOT A VIABLE OPTION. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH A 'HIGH QUALITY' MANUFACTURER (LINCOLN). *JS

  HPU HAS RECALL ON IT FOR BRAKES. MY HPU FAILED ONCE ALREADY. LINCOLN DEALERSHIP REFERRED ME TO LINCOLN. RECALL IS SOMETIME NEXT QUARTER WHEN THEY HAVE PARTS. LINCOLN WILL NOT REPAIR OR PROVIDE LOANER FOR NOW AND TOLD ME TO DRIVE AT OWN RISK.I WAS APPROACHING A STOP WHEN PROBLEM MANIFESTED ITSELF. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO STOP CAR AND MISS THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. REPORTED PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY. I DON'T THINK IT RESPONSIBLE TO DRIVE A CAR WITH A KNOWN PROBLEM. IT IS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. DEALERSHIP OPENED SSSC( LINCOLN REPORTING MECHANISM) ON VEHICLE.BRAKE PEDAL WENT SOFT AND TO THE FLOOR BUT EVENTUALLY DID GET IT STOPPED. VEHICLE WONT STOP IN REQUIRED STOPPING DISTANCE AS PER DESIGN AND SUPPLY THEREOF. I AM A VERY EXPERIENCED DRIVER BUT OTHER DRIVERS ARE UNLIKELY TO BE ABLE TO RESPOND APPROPRIATELY. HAD TO WAIT FOR ANSWER FROM OFFICE LOCATED IN INDIA! THIS IS A DELIBERATE UNSAFE ACT BY LINCOLN. WHAT CAN I DO. I AM ON FIXED DISABILITY AND MUST HAVE TRANSPORTATION.

• 12/27/2017· SERVICE BRAKES

  TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LINCOLN MKZ. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL IN THE SNOW, THE ABS ENGAGED. AS A RESULT, THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE DEPRESSED TWO OR THREE INCHES TOWARD THE FLOORBOARD TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

• 12/27/2017· SERVICE BRAKES

  MY 2008 LINCOLN MKZ HAS A DIMINISHED BRAKING CAPABILITY AFTER AN ABS EVENT ON THE SNOW A FEW DAYS AGO. THE ABS CYCLE WORKED, THEN MY PEDAL HAS AN EXTRA INCH OR 2 OF TRAVEL AND FEELS UNSAFE. THIS IS THE THIRD INCIDENT LIKE THIS WITH THE CAR IN THE 5 YEARS I HAVE OWNED AFTER BUYING IT CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED FROM FORD. WHEN I RESEARCH THE PROBLEM ON LINE, I SEE MULTIPLE CASES IN THE 2006 TO 2008 LINCOLN MKZ/ZEPHR, THE FORD FUSION AND THE MERCURY MILAN. ALL OF THE ON-LINE REPORTS SAY THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL VALVE FOR THE ABS SYSTEM. NONE OF APPEARS TO BE COVERED BY FORD. I AM TAKING MINE TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER TOMORROW TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT MINE AND DRIVE IT WHILE IT IS ACTING UP. I FEEL SOMETHING AS CRITICAL TO THE SAFE BRAKING OF THE VEHICLE THAT APPEARS TO BE A CHRONIC MODEL PROBLEM OUGHT TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD. THE PART IS EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE AND SHOULD BE DONE BY QUALIFIED SERVICE.

• 12/13/2013· WHEELS

  THESE WHEELS ARE IDENTIFIED AS 17" 8 SPOKE MACHINED & PAINTED ALUMINUM WHEEL WHICH BEGAN TO CORRODE AND PEEL AROUND 2011. THEY LEAK AIR AROUND THE CONTACT OF THE RIM AND TIRE BECAUSE OF THE CORROSION. THIS CONDITION REQUIRES HAVING THE WHEEL TAKEN APART AND CORROSION REMOVED THEN REASSEMBLING THE WHEEL AND RE-BALANCING THE TIRE ASSEMBLY BEFORE RE-INSTALLING BACK ON TO CAR. DEPENDING ON SEVERAL CONDITIONS AS CLIMATE AND TEMPERATURE AND WHEN TIRE ASSEMBLY LAST SERVICED AIR LOSS VARIES FROM 10% TO MORE THAN 30% FROM MANUFACTURER 'S SUGGESTED TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE. I HAVE AVERAGED SERVICING THESE FOUR TIRES AT LEAST 6 TIMES OR MORE A YEAR FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS. I HAVE CONTACTED BOTH THE CAR DEALER AND FORD MOTOR CO. THE DEALER SAYS IT IS UP TO FORD TO PUT OUT A RECALL FOR REPLACEMENT WHEEL. THE DEALER AGREES THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT FORD MOTOR CO. DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS A PROBLEM. I CONSIDER THIS CONDITION A SAFETY VIOLATION NOT TO MENTION THE OUT OF POCKET COST TO CONTINUOUSLY HAVE THESE TIRES REPAIRED. IT AFFECTS MY GAS MILEAGE, TIRE LONGEVITY, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY SAFETY. PLEASE HELP THOSE OF US WITH THIS SITUATION. THANK YOU. *TR

SECOND NOTICE IS OF THEM FILING BANKRUPTCY AND TO CONTACT MY LOCAL DEALER FOR FREE REPAIR. I CONTACTED WITT LINCOLN AND THEY SAID THEY DO NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT PARTS. HOW DO I GET FREE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT? I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT BUT NEED TO GET THIS FIXED BEFORE I DO.

• 12/12/2014· WHEELS

  THE CHROME COATING ON THE WHEELS IS DEFECTIVE AND FLAKES OFF. THIS DOES NOT ALLOW THE TIRES TO SEAT PROPERLY WITH THE WHEELS, CAUSING THEM TO LOSE PRESSURE. EVENTUALLY THIS CAN DAMAGE THE TIRES BY HAVING THEM REPEATEDLY DRIVEN UNDER THE RECOMMENDED PRESSURES. NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS BY MY TIRE DEALER TO REMEDY THE SITUATION, UNDER THEIR WARRANTY, HAVE BEEN FRUSTRATING AS THE ISSUE IS NOT OF THEIR MAKING. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON A NUMBER OF LINCOLN MKZ FORUMS AND THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT AMONG OWNERS. *TR

• 12/09/2016· AIR BAGS

  TAKATA RECALL. I WAS NOT INFORMED OF ANY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE AIRBAGS UNTIL RECEIVING A LETTER IN JULY 2016 THAT STATED THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG MIGHT RUPTURE AND KILL THE OCCUPANT OF THAT SEAT ' WHO MOST COMMONLY HAPPENS TO BE MY PREGNANT WIFE. IT WAS FIRST REPORTED IN NOVEMBER 2014 BY THE NEW YORK TIMES THAT TAKATA WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. ONE CAN ONLY SPECULATE HOW MUCH EARLIER THE COMPANY OFFICIALS WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THAT THOUGHT ASIDE, IT IS CRIMINAL THAT IT TOOK LINCOLN 20 MONTHS TO DETERMINE THEY HAD THE AFFECTED AIRBAGS IN THIS VEHICLE AND ALERT THE OWNERS OF SAID VEHICLES. IT HAS NOW BEEN 5 MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED THE LETTER. DURING THIS TIME PERIOD I HAVE CONTACTED THE COMPANY MANY TIMES AND NEVER HAVE THEY BEEN ABLE TO OFFER ANY INFORMATION WHATSOEVER. IT HAS BEEN OVER 2 YEARS SINCE THEY DETERMINED THE AIRBAG IN MY VEHICLE CAN KILL MY PREGNANT WIFE IF EVER DEPLOYED. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE IS 8 YEARS OLD AND I LIVE IN THE PANHANDLE OF FLORIDA. CONSIDERING THOSE TWO FACTORS I AM IN THE HIGHEST RISK CATEGORY. HOW HAVE I NOT BEEN CONTACTED TO HAVE THIS FIXED? AT THE VERY LEAST, WHY HAVE I NOT BEEN OFFERED A LOANER VEHICLE WHILE THEY FIGURE OUT HOW TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM? IT CERTAINLY FEELS LIKE LINCOLN IS CONSIDERING MY WIFE'S LIFE A FINANCIAL RISK THEY ARE WILLING TO TAKE. THE WAY THIS HAS BEEN HANDLED IS INCONCEIVABLE. PLEASE HAVE LINCOLN LOOK TO MAKE MY VEHICLE A PRIORITY. I AM AN ACTIVE DUTY SERVICE MEMBER WHO WILL BE RELOCATING ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN MARCH 2017 AND AM HIGHLY CONCERNED THAT AT ANY POINT DURING THE DRIVE MY WIFE AND UNBORN CHILD MAY BE KILLED BY A KNOWN ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE INQUIRED TO MY DEALER ABOUT MAKING AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE BRAKES PEDAL HEIGHT OR SPACING BUT WAS ADVISED THAT THIS COULD NOT BE DONE.

  The contact owns a 2008 Lincoln MKZ. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brake pedal would only respond when depressed all the way to the floorboard. The ABS warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the vehicle speed sensor needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the speed sensor was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The contact received a recall notification for NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V904000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic), and the vehicle was taken to the dealer who informed the contact that the vehicle had passed the hydraulic control unit test. The dealer replaced the brake fluid; however, the failure reoccurred while driving. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who diagnosed that the hydraulic control unit had failed and needed to be replaced. The dealer submitted a report to the manufacturer for assistance with the repair of the vehicle; however, the manufacturer informed the dealer that they would not assist as the request was beyond a reasonable amount of time for the subsequent failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 113,000.

  TAKATA RECALL, THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED WITHOUT ANYTHING TRIGGERING IT WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK. IT SHOWS THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS OFF DUE TO HAVING SOME KIND OF WEIGHT ON THE SEAT. BUT THERE IS NOTHING ON THE SEAT AT ALL WHEN THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IT IS STILL ON AND STAYED ON. I READ ABOUT THE RECALL FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAGS AND I READ THE THE AIRBAG CAN EXPLODE DURING A CRASH AND THAT DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF HAVING AN AIRBAG. IT'S SUPPOSED TO SAVE LIVES AND NOT TAKE THEM AWAY. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS FIXED AND RESOLVED BEFORE WINTER COMES IN FULL EFFECT AND TO AVOID ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS IF AN ACCIDENT DO OCCUR.
