  Brakes are extremely hard to use, takes both feet to stop vehicle, once stopped the engine will stall while brake is touched, must put vehicle in park when stopped.

  FORD MOTOR COMPANY IS RECALLING 600,000 VEHICLES FOR A FAULTY VALVE IN THE HYDRAULIC BRAKING SYSTEM. THE RECALL DOESN'T CURRENTLY INCLUDE THE 2010 MKX WHICH I OWN. I HAVE HAD AN INTERMITTENT BRAKING PROBLEM THE LAST THREE MONTHS IN WHICH I TOOK IT IN AND WAS GIVEN NEW BRAKES AND ROTORS BUT HASN'T FIXED THE PROBLEM OF THE BRAKE PETAL INTERMITTENTLY BECOMING HARDER WHILE BRAKING REQUIRING A LONGER DISTANCE TO BRAKE. I WANT TO KNOW IF OTHER MKX OWNERS HAVE HAD A SIMILAR EXPERIENCE? WHEN I HEARD ABOUT THE 19S54 RECALL I KNOW THAT MY VEHICLE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT CAN I DO TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL? CALLING THEM IS AN AUTOMATED NIGHTMARE IN WHICH YOU ENTER YOUR VEHICLE NUMBER AND ARE TOLD IT DOESN'T INCLUDE YOUR VEHICLE. IT TOOK TWO YEARS TO BE INCLUDED ON THE AIRBAG RECALL. THANK YOU

  TAKATA RECALL -- THE LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY HAS FORWARDED A LETTER DATED DECEMBER 2017 STATING -- "WARNING: UNTIL REMEDY PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE, DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SIT IN THE FIRST ROW PASSENGER SEAT." THIS MAKES OUR CAR BASICALLY USELESS. WHEN I CONTACTED MOUNTAIN VIEW FORD/LINCOLN DEALERSHIP TODAY AT 423-756-1331 AND ASKED IF THEY WOULD DISCONNECT JUST THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS UNLAWFUL.

  THE VEHICLE WAS IN OUR GARAGE WITH THE DOOR CLOSED AND THE REAR HATCH WINDOW SHATTERED. THE WINDOW IS COMPLETELY SHATTERED WITH TWO SOFTBALL SIZED HOLES WHERE THE GLASS WAS BLOWN OUT ONTO THE GARAGE FLOOR. NO ONE WAS IN THE CAR NOR THE GARAGE WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND THERE WERE NO ITEMS IN THE CAR THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE DAMAGE. WE HAVE NOT MOVED THE VEHICLE HOPING LINCOLN WOULD CARE ENOUGH TO COME AND SEE WHAT HAS HAPPENED. THEY TOLD US THEY WOULD NOT SEND ANYONE TO VIEW THE WINDOW. THE CONCERN IS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD POSSIBLY INJURE A PASSENGER. THIS REPORT IS PROVIDE EVIDENCE OF OUR EXPERIENCE. *TR

• 12/01/2012· SEATS

  I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS THE RIGHT PLACE TO PRESENT THIS ISSUE, BUT WILL EXPLAIN MY CONCERN HERE. I HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE LOCATION OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT LOCATION IN MY LINCOLN MKX. I AM 6'2" TALL AND HAVE LONG LEGS. I HAVE HAD A KNEE REPLACEMENT WHICH LEFT ME WITH REDUCED RANGE OF MOTION IN MY LEG. MY ISSUE IS THAT I CANNOT STRAIGHTEN MY LEG OUT ENOUGH TO BE COMFORTABLE WHILE DRIVING DUE TO THE LIMITED REARWARD MOTION OF THE SEAT. IN SPEAKING WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, HE SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT FORD/LINCOLN DIRECTLY. IN DOING SO, THEY ADVISED THAT CONTACT YOU PEOPLE AT THIS E-MAIL ADDRESS. IT IS MY INTENTION TO POINT OUT THIS MATTER TO YOU AND SEEK SOME ADVICE AND DIRECTION. MY PROPOSAL IS TO RAISE THE SEAT HEIGHT APPROXIMATELY 3" AND ADD A PIECE OF FLAT METAL UNDER THE SEAT TRACK WHICH COULD BE REDRILLED TO ALLOW THE SEAT TO MOVE REARWARD APPROXIMATELY 3+". THESE MODIFICATIONS WOULD USE THE SAME HOLES IN THE SEAT TRACK AND THE ATTACHMENT LOCATIONS IN THE FLOOR THAT EXIST NOW. ANY REPLACEMENT BOLTS THAT WOULD BE USED WOULD OF EQUAL GRADE OF THE ORIGINAL BOLTS. THIS MODIFICATION WOULD ALLOW ME TO SIT HIGHER AND FURTHER BACK FROM THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS WHILE ALLOWING MY LEG TO BE STRAIGHTER, THEREFORE MORE COMFORTABLE. I HAVE SEEN THIS TYPE OF MODIFICATION DONE ON OTHER VEHICLES AND IT WORKS. IF DONE PROPERLY IT WOULD NOT ALTER THE LEVEL OF SAFETY IN THE VEHICLE. AT THIS POINT FORD/LINCOLN WILL NOT SUPPORT THIS MODIFICATION WITHOUT MY PRESENTING THE IDEA TO YOU PEOPLE FOR YOUR SUPPORT ON THE MODIFICATION. IF YOU COULD REVIEW THIS REQUEST AND ADVISE ME ON THIS MATTER BY RETURN E-MAIL, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. *TR

• 11/17/2018· SEATS

  THE SEATS SHIFT BACKWARD WHEN ACCELERATING AND MOVE FORWARD WHEN BRAKING, THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. FORD REFUSES TO FIX OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT READING ONLINE THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE.

  "TAKATA RECALL", FOR 2 YEARS I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING INFO. REGARDING THIS RECALL AND FOR 2 YEARS HAVE BEEN CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP, TO HEAR THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER THAT THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REPLACE THIS AIRBAG, SO HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO GET KILLED FROM THIS BEFORE THE PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. SOME ONE RAN A STOP SIGN AND RAN INTO MY CAR GOOD THING THE AIR BAG DID NOT GO OFF SINCE MY GRANDDAUGHTER WAS SEATED IN THE PASSANGER SEAT. COME ON PEOPLE TEND TO THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL. JUST COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SITUATION NOT REPORTING THE ACCIDENT, THERE FOR THE DATE LISTED BELOW IS THE DAY THAT I SENT THIS IN.

• 11/13/2017· EXTERIOR LIGHTING

  DRIVING AT NIGHT HEADLIGHTS STARTED TO FLICKER AND THEN WENT OUT. 1ST LEFT SIDE THEN RIGHT SIDE. SOLDER CONNECTING HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY TO ELECTRICAL WIRING DISSOLVED. PER FORD DEALERSHIP THE SOLDER IS DISSOLVING BECAUSE THE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITRY IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY OVERHEATED CAUSING THE SOLDER CONNECTION TO FAIL. THIS HAPPENED THREE TIMES. THE FIRST TWO TIME THE DEALERSHIP RE-SOLDERED THE CONNECTION. THE THIRD TIME THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WITH A NEW ER HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY WITH UPDATED INTERNAL CIRCUITRY FROM MY CONVERSATION WITH THE FORD DEALERSHIP THIS HAD HAPPEN IN THE HIGHER END MODELS OF THE LINCOLNS THAT ARE A FEW YEARS OLD. WHY DID I HAVE TO WAIT FOR IT TO HAPPEN THREE TIMES BEFORE THEY TOLD ME IT IS AN INTERNAL DESIGN DEFECT OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. THE COST OF THE REPLACEMENT ASSEMBLY FOR BOTH SIDES IS AROUND $2,300. I GOT CAUGHT WITH THIS TWICE LATE AT NIGHT, I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT WAS THE HEADLIGHT BULBS. FORTUNATELY, I WAS STILL RELATIVELY CLOSE TO HOME, AND NOT HALFWAY INTO MY 180 TRIP I WAS STARTING OUT ON. THIS HAPPENED AROUND 4 IN THE MORNING WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON A RURAL HIGHWAY WITHOUT STREET LIGHTS. NOT VERY PLEASANT DRIVING WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS.

  TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE 2 LINCOLN MKX VEHICLES, A 2010 AND A 2008. THE LINCOLN DEALERSHIP THAT I HAVE CALLED FOR ONE HAS BEEN WAITING ON PARTS, APPARENTLY SINCE THE RECALL IN 6/2016. I HAVE CALLED THE COMPANIES LISTED ON THE AIRBAGRECALL.COM WEBSITE AND NONE OF THEM IN MY TOWN DO THE AIRBAG RECALL REPLACEMENT. THIS RECALL SEEMS TO INVOLVE A VERY DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATENING SITUATION AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE I CAN GET THE AIRBAGS IN BOTH OF MY VEHICLES REPLACED. THE LENGTH OF TIME THAT THIS HAS GONE ONE IS UNACCEPTABLE.

• 11/05/2014· SERVICE BRAKES

  CAR WAS PUT INTO PARK (ON A SLIGHT SLOPE), THEN PARKING/EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS APPLIED. BRAKE DID NOT HOLD AND ROLLED 10 - 12 INCHES INTO ANOTHER PARKED CAR. WHAT GOOD IS AN EMERGENCY/PARKING BRAKE IF IT TAKES THAT LONG TO ENGAGE? LUCKILY I PRESSED THE REGULAR BRAKE AND BACKED THE CAR UP FURTHER BEFORE PUTTING AGAIN INTO PARK AND APPLYING THE PARKING/EMERGENCY BRAKE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. IN BOTH CASES, THE LINCOLN PUSHED INTO THE OTHER CAR'S BUMPERS ALLOWING ME TO SEE THE OTHER CAR MOVE BASED UPON THE PRESSURE EXERTED BY THE LINCOLN. FORTUNATELY, NONE OF THE BUMPER'S WERE DAMAGED. I WILL ALSO BE REPORTING ANOTHER 2 PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

• 11/05/2014· SEATS,SERVICE BRAKES,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  UPON MORNING START UP, THERE IS A HIGH PITCH WHISTLING SOUND WHICH LASTS APX THE FIRST 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING TIME.IT CAN BE HEARD INSIDE & OUTSIDE THE CAR & WITH THE RADIO ON OR OFF.I HAVE COMPLAINED SINCE ABOUT FEB 2014 ABOUT THIS SOUND WHILE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER ITS BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY.I REQUESTED EACH TIME THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAVE A FEMALE LISTEN FOR THE NOISE AND THEY DID NOT DO THAT.IT IS A KNOWN FACT THAN MEN LOSE THEIR HEARING IN THE HIGH FREQUENCIES THE DEALERSHIP PERFORMING MY INITIAL MAINTENANCE DID NOT NOTE THIS ISSUE ON THE REPAIR ORDER, ALTHOUGH I REPORTED IT TO THEM SEVERAL TIMES.THE SECOND DEALERSHIP HAD A FEMALE EMPLOYEE LISTEN FOR IT; SHE WAS ABLE TO HEAR AND POINT OUT THE SOUND TO THE SERVICE ADVISOR WHO THEN DID HEAR THE SOUND.THEY ARE NOT CERTAIN, BUT BELIEVE THAT THE SOUND IS COMING FROM THE FUEL PUMP INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. SINCE THIS IS NOT LOOKED UPON AS A FAILURE, ONLY A NUISANCE, I AM TOLD IT IS NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY AND FRANKLY, I FEEL IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED UNDER MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY! I FOUND THIS EXACT COMPLAINT IN TWO YOU TUBE VIDEO RE: 2008 FORD EDGE HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=ROCO7_TGJHG AND HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=HQCUNSY1ENC .ACCORDING THE TO PERSON WHO POSTED THESE 2 VIDEOS, HIS DEALERSHIP COULD NOT IDENTIFY/FIX THE PROBLEM, SO HE SOLD HIS 2008 FORD EDGE. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS NOT A "NORMAL" OR ACCEPTABLE SOUND TO LISTEN TO EACH MORNING AT START UP. I FEEL THIS SOUND IS ACTUALLY DAMAGING MY HEARING SINCE I AM EXPOSED TO IT FOR SO LONG EACH DAY. CONTINUAL SOUNDS LIKE THIS ARE NOT HEALTHY FOR THE EARS! SINCE IT IS AGAINST THE LAW, I CANNOT DRIVE WITH EARPLUGS TO MINIMIZE THE DAMAGE TO MY HEARING. THIS IS THE 3RD ISSUE I AM REPORTING REGARDING THIS VEHICLE. THE OTHER TWO REGARD THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT INTERMITTENTLY ROCKING WHILE DRIVING. *TR

  TAKATA INFLATORS: WE HAVEN'T HAD A PROBLEM YET BUT THE LAST FEW YEARS THE FRONT DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S AIRBAGS HAVE RATTLING NOISES WHEN ON BUMPY ROADS. HEARING THE RATTLING NOISES MAKES ME BELIEVE THERE ARE PARTS LOOSE IN BOTH WHICH COULD PUT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER IN DANGER. I HAVE BEEN PATIENTLY WAITING FOR A RECALL. IF I CHOOSE TO HAVE THEM REPLACED ON MY OWN, WILL I BE REIMBURSED? IT IS VERY SCARY HEARING WHAT HAPPENS TO THESE AIRBAGS AND I THINK HEARING THE RATTLING MAKES OUR CAR ONE OF THE ONES A DANGER AND SHOULD BE ON RECALL PLEASE. I DID REPORT IT TO FORD DEALER BUT THEY DID NOT RECORD MY CONCERN, WE WERE ALL THINKING WE'D BE ON RECALL LIST. PLEASE, PLEASE CONSIDER MY VEHICLE FOR RECALL.

HOWEVER, I FEAR THAT THE AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD RUPTURE CREATING A RISK OF INJURY. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH MY LINCOLN CAR DEALER PERIODICALLY AND TAKATA HAS NEVER SENT REPLACEMENT PARTS TO THE CAR DEALER AND THEREFORE THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER FIXED. SINCE TAKATA HAS NOW GONE UNDER CHAPTER 11 BANKRUPTCY I FEAR THAT THE AIRBAG PARTS WILL NEVER BE REPLACED.

  THE PARKING BRAKE ON MY LINCOLN MKX WILL NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE ON A SLOPE. THE DEALER AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY SAY THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT. ACCORDING TO THEM, THE BRAKE IS DESIGNED TO FUNCTION WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS IN PARK. USING THE TRANSMISSION TO HOLD THE CAR DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THE FEDERAL REGULATIONS FOR PARKING BRAKES WHICH ARE QUITE CLEAR. THE REGS STATE THAT: "EVERY COMBINATION OF MOTOR VEHICLES MUST BE EQUIPPED WITH A PARKING BRAKE SYSTEM ADEQUATE TO HOLD THE VEHICLE OR COMBINATION ON ANY GRADE ON WHICH IT IS OPERATED, UNDER ANY CONDITION OF LOADING IN WHICH IT IS FOUND ON A PUBLIC ROAD (FREE OF ICE AND SNOW)." THERE IS NO MENTION OF THE TRANSMISSION OR PARK IN THE REGULATIONS. THE BRAKES ALONE WILL NOT HOLD THE VEHICLE SO THE VEHICLE IS QUITE DANGEROUS. PROPERTY AND PEOPLE WILL BE DAMAGED.
