  SYNC RADIO. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, WITHOUT WARNING, THE RADIO WILL SUDDENLY EMIT AN EXTREMELY LOUD EXPLOSION NOISE, ENOUGH TO STARTLE YOU TO JERK THE WHEEL AND LEAVING YOUR EARS RINGING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US THREE TIMES SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE. ONCE ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY AND TWICE ON THE FREEWAY. AT ALL TIMES WAS THE VEHICLE BEING DRIVEN IN A STRAIGHT LINE. RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS MANY COMPLAINTS AS THIS APPEARS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SYNC RADIO AND LINCOLN HAS NO RESOLUTION. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. *TR

  MY 2009 MKX HAS SCARED THE HECK OUT OF US AS WE THOUGHT A BOMB HAD GONE OFF, FOLLOWED BY THE HIGH-PITCHED WHINE WHICH ONLY STOPPED AFTER WE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND OPEN A DOOR FOR IT TO RESET ITSELF. WE WERE DRIVING WITH KIDS IN THE BACK ASLEEP,, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WENT OFF AND WE COULDN'T STAND IT. TURNING THE RADIO OFF DIDN'T HELP, TURNING THE AC OFF DIDN'T HELP EITHER. WE WERE FORCED TO PULLED OVER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. SINCE THEN I CAN NOT TRUST MY CAR WON'T GO OFF AND CAUSE ME TO HIT ANOTHER CAR OR GOD FORBID SOMETHING ELSE. IT USUALLY HAPPENS IN THE HOTTER MONTHS FOR THE LAST 3 - 4 YEARS. I'VE TRIED TO FIND CORRELATION TO SOMETHING, AND ALL I CAN THINK OFF IS THE HEAT CAUSING IT TO GO OFF.

• 09/01/2026· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  I’ve replaced my blend door actuator 2 times since owning this car in the past year and it’s gone out again. It clicks under the driver’s side constantly until I turn on the temperature control. And when it doesn’t click it blows out hot air on the drivers side and cold air on the passenger side with ac on and cold air on drivers side with heat on and that’s when I know I need to replace it. This is a constant issue in this vehicle and it has cost me a lot of money to keep replacing the same part.

• 08/31/2022· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  8/31/22 While I am driving, at 25 miles per hour in my neighborhood, or 45 mph through town, or 65 mph on the freeway, without any warning there occasionally will be an EXTREMELY LOUD BANG!! I actually duck down and cover my head for fear a huge rock has come through the windshield. Or a double-barreled shotgun was aimed at my car, or a major jetliner had fallen out of the sky and landed on my roof. Only to look up and see no damage whatsoever, but the shrill, high pitched ring piercing my ears. The radio won't respond, the gps won't respond, the heater or AC won't respond. The sound continues for as long as it takes to get to my destination. When I return to my car the next time, EVERYTHING WORKS FINE, and no high pitched ring. I have seen others' notes on this topic say it is the radio/speakers. This BANG occurs for me even when I am NOT using the radio or media. However, my cell phone auto connects each time I turn on the engine. I will today 8/31/22 disconnect my cell phone and see if the bluetooth makes this terrible connection. I see no evidence that anyone has found a repair for this. Also, other notes have stated they think this is related to temperatures above 73 F degrees. I have experienced this BANG at all temperatures. The latest time it occurred while I was in the middle of a left hand turn through a busy intersection with off-work traffic in all lanes, I almost went into the ditch!! No, there are no warning lights or sounds before this happens. No, I have not been able to reproduce this sound at will. YES, THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY PROBLEM. IF THE DRIVER'S HEAD IS DUCKING DOWN DURING THE BANG, WHO'S STEERING THE CAR? Please, someone, is there a fix?

• 08/28/2018· AIR BAGS

  "TAKATA RECALL" - LETTER RECEIVED FROM LINCOLN MOTOR CO. THAT AIRBAGS COULD EXPLODE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH THAT CAUSES THE DEPLOY OF AIRBAGS. WE WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. NO CALLS FROM THE COMPANY. I HAVE CALLED NUMEROUS TIMES DURING THE LAST SIX MONTHS, STILL PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. LINCOLN SENT AN UPDATE IN MAY 2018 THAT WE COULD RENT A VEHICLE UP TO $45 PER DAY. I DO NOT WANT TO RENT A VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY FOR AN UNKNOWN AMOUNT OF MONTHS. I HAVE FINISHED PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT COULD HAVE KILLED MY FAMILY. WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN? ALSO, WE WERE DECEIVED, BECAUSE WE WERE NEVER TOLD THAT IF DEPLOYED, THE AIRBAGS COULD EXPLODE CAUSING DEATH TO THE PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE. I BOUGHT THE MKX BRAND NEW IN 2009 - SO FROM 2009 TO 2018 MY FAMILY WAS IN DANGER. WE NEED HELP!

FUMES IN CABIN RECALL IS CONNECTED TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN FORDS, LINCOLNS, MAZDA YEARS 2007 - 2013 APPROXIMATELY AS REPORTED. THE FUEL PUMP FAILS AND IS NOT EASILY REPLACEABLE. FORD IS AT FAULT FOR POORLY DESIGNING A $200 PART BEHIND A "TIMING CHAIN" WHICH REQUIRES REMOVAL BEFORE YOU CAN REACH THE FUEL PUMP TO REPLACE - COSTING THE CUSTOMER EXORBITANT AMOUNT OF MONEY TO REPAIR.

• 07/29/2014· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  WIRES TO HEADLIGHTS BRITTLE AND/OR BROKEN. THIS VEHICLE HAS HEADLIGHTS THAT MOVE THE DIRECTION STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED AND ALSO SELF ADJUST HEIGHT UP AND DOWN AS VEHICLE IS TRAVELING. THE ALMOST CONSTANT MOVEMENT OF HEADLAMP IS CAUSING WIRES TO BECOME BRITTLE AND BREAK CAUSING HEADLIGHT FAILURE. NOT ONLY IS THIS UNSAFE, BUT IT APPEARS THAT SOME REPAIR SHOPS ARE SAYING THE FUSE BOX NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED TO REPAIR SYMPTOM. SOME PEOPLE MAY JUST THINK A HEADLAMP IS BURNED OUT AND AFTER REPLACING BULB, LIGHT STILL WON'T WORK. THOSE WHO CONTINUE TO DRIVE RISK LOOSING OTHER HEADLIGHT AT SAME TIME. THERE IS NO WARNING INDICATOR IN CAR TO NOTIFY DRIVER THERE IS A HEADLAMP OUT SO A PERSON COULD EASILY BE DRIVING WITH ONE LIGHT AND NOT EVEN NOTICE. UPON SEARCHING INTERNET I NOTICED OTHER LATE MODEL FORD PRODUCTS WITH SAME PROBLEM. ON MY CAR THE INSULATION WAS STILL IN TACT SO IT WAS NOT EASILY NOTICED, BUT YES THE WIRE WAS PHYSICALLY BROKEN INSIDE WIRE INSULATION. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN A CAR ACCIDENT, NOR HAS IT BEEN WORKED ON BY ANYONE OTHER THAN LINCOLN DEALERSHIP OR MYSELF. THERE IS A CAP THAT HAS TO BE REMOVED FROM HEADLIGHT HOUSING BEFORE ONE COULD ACCESS THIS SEALED OFF AREA. *JS

  FREQUENCY: ONCE EVERY OTHER DAY WHEN TEMPERATURE OVER 73 F. ELECTRICAL: (ISSUE 1) THE SOUND SYSTEM WHILE IN USE CREATES A HORRENDOUS SOUND/BANG THAT SOUNDS LIKE AN ACCIDENT. THIS CAUSES A LOSS OF DRIVER ATTENTION AND DISTRACTION FROM TRAFFIC. (ISSUE 2) AFTER LOUD SOUND, THE STEREO WILL LOCK IT SELF AND NOT ALLOWING TO SHUT IT DOWN OR ANYTHING. (ISSUE 3) AFTER LOUD SOUND, THE TURN SIGNAL WILL FLASH IN A FASTER PACED THAN NORMAL. (ISSUE 4) AFTER LOUD SOUND, AIR CONDITIONER WOULD NOT WORK. ALL THIS ISSUES WOULD RESOLVE BY TURNING CAR OFF AND OPENING THE DRIVER DOOR TO RESET ITSELF. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE, WITH SLEEPING KIDS IN THE BACK WHEN LOUD SOUND GETS TRIGGER AND HAVE TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY TO "RESET THE SYSTEM". *TR

THE CAR WOULD BRAKE AS I WAS MAKING A TURN WHILE I GIVING IT GAS TO TURN. HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 TIMES WHILE I WAS TURNING ON A MAIN ROAD. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A LIFE THREATENING EVENT. IMAGINE A CAR COMING AT YOU AND YOUR GAS PEDAL IS NOT RESPONDING WHILE AT THE SAME TIME YOUR CAR IS BRAKING. A VERY SCARY SCENARIO. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID BRAKES NEED CALIBRATION AND THAT I NEEDED NEW BRAKES. I SAID SURE.I ASKED IS THAT NORMAL FOR A CAR TO DO THAT WHEN BRAKES WEAR OUT . THEY SAID NO AND TESTED THE & FOUND NO ISSUES. I PAID FOR THE BRAKE REPLACEMENTS. 3 MONTHS GO BY AND THE SAME THING. TOOK BACK TO DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE BUT THE BRAKES WERE FINE. I STRESSED THE PROBLEM OF MOISTURE( RAIN & SNOW) WHEN THIS OCCURS. THIS OCCURS WHEN I FIRST START DRIVING THE CAR UNDER THOSE CONDITIONS. HAPPENS ONCE AND THEN I AM FINE FOR THE OF THE DRIVE.
