• 12/21/2017· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW IN JAN 2011. INTERMITTENTLY, THE ENTIRE SOUND SYSTEM STOPS WORKING (RADIO, CD PLAYER, AND NAVIGATION SYSTEM). THIS MEANS THAT IF, THE DRIVER HAS ENGAGED THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM RELYING ON THE VOICE INSTRUCTIONS WHICH SUDDENLY DO NOT WORK, HE/SHE MUST THEN LOOK AT THE SMALL SCREEN FOR UPCOMING TURNS AND OTHER INFORMATION MORE FREQUENTLY THAN WHEN THE VOICE INSTRUCTIONS ARE WORKING. IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING THAT TAKING ONES EYES OFF THE ROAD TO EXAMINE THE SCREEN INFORMATION IS UNSAFE. THE DEALER (ED HOWARD LINCOLN IN SARASOTA FL) HAS REPLACED THE "AUDIO CONTROL MODULE" TWICE: IN NOV 2014 AND IN DEC 2017. THIS LAST REPAIR ORDER MENTIONS "COMPUTER TESTS FOR CODE, U1214".

• 12/02/2019· VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC),SERVICE BRAKES

  CAR IN QUESTION: 2011 LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID, 163,287 KM (101,484 MILES). DRIVING ON A CITY STREET ALL OF THE SUDDEN WARNING LIGHTS COME ON: ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, GIANT WRENCH, P/BRAKE LIGHT, SERVICE ADVANCETRAC. BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, I BLEW A STOP SIGN, AS CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN, BUT THAN JUST ROLLED THRU THE INTERSECTION. HAD TO USE A PARKING BRAKE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN I WAS LOOKING FOR A SAFE SPOT TO PULL OVER. HAD TO REPLACE HYDRAULIC CONTROL MODULE AND ABS MODULE.

• 12/02/2019· ENGINE

  CAR IN QUESTION: 2011 LINCOLN MKZ HYBRID, 90,379 MILES DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY, WRENCH LIGHT COMES ON, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, NO POWER FROM THE ENGINE WHEN APPLYING A THROTTLE. DUE TO A VEHICLE BEING A HYBRID, COAST ON BATTERY POWER TO A SHOULDER. THROTTLE BODY HAD TO BE REPLACED. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR A FORD FUSION AND A MERCURY MILAN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT NO RECALL FOR A LINCOLN MKZ AND NO RECALL FOR A HYBRID. ALTHOUGH THEY USE EXACTLY THE SAME PART NUMBER FOR A THROTTLE BODY.

• 11/30/2017· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED FROM THE INSIDE. ONLY THE OUTSIDE DOOR HANDLE COULD OPEN IT SUCCESSFULLY. THE DEALER HAS ORDERED PARTS FOR A REPAIR. HE INDICATED THAT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, ALTHOUGH I RECALL A NOTIFICATION ABOUT DOOR PROBLEMS. SEVERAL YEARS AGO THE LEFT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AND REQUIRED A DEALER FIX. THIS APPARENT DEFECT IN DOOR DESIGN POSES A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SAFETY RISK IF AN OCCUPANT NEEDS TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY. IT SEEMS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT BOTH DOORS WOULD MALFUNCTION (AT DIFFERENT TIMES) IF THERE WAS NOT SOME INHERENT DESIGN DEFECT. IN BOTH INSTANCES THE INABILITY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE VIA THE USUAL INSIDE DOOR MECHANISM OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED

• 11/28/2021· SERVICE BRAKES

  During a braking event that caused my ABS to activate, my brake pedal traveled almost all the way to the floor. I was able to stop the car without accident but feel unsafe driving it. After much research I located Ford safety recall 19S54 which describes my issue exactly, unfortunately Ford has decided to only issue the recall for model years 2006 to 2010.

• 11/25/2019· SERVICE BRAKESCrash

  TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 LINCOLN MKZ. WHILE THE CONTACT'S WIFE WAS DRIVING AND ATTEMPTING TO APPLY THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL LOWERED SLOWLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HIS WIFE STRUCK A FLOWER POT ON A NEARBY LAWN AND HAD TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TOWED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO REPAIRED THE MASTER CYLINDER, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO DISCOVERED A MECHANISM UNDER THE BRAKE PEDAL THAT PROHIBITED THE BRAKE PEDAL FROM BEING ABLE TO BE DEPRESSED APPROPRIATELY. THE MECHANISM WAS REMOVED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT HAD NOT YET RECEIVED A RESPONSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS AN OBSTRUCTION ABOVE THE GAS AND BRAKE PEDALS. THE OBSTRUCTION PREVENT THE DRIVER FROM APPLYING THE NECESSARY PRESSURE TO THE PEDALS. A MECHANIC STATED THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO POOR RESPONSE TIMING OF THE VEHICLE'S MASTER CYLINDER. THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL MORE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN 2 ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE FAILURE.*JS *JS *JS

• 11/25/2019· SERVICE BRAKES

• 11/15/2016· STRUCTURE

  THE FRONT DRIVERS DOOR WILL NO LONGER OPEN FROM THE INSIDE. THIS STARTED ON SEPTEMBER 30, 2016 WHILE I WAS ON A ROAD TRIP. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS A FUSE OR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. I STARTED ROLLING THE WINDOW DOWN TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. WE WENT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE PART WAS BACK ORDERED BY MORE THAN 700 PARTS. IF WE HOLD TWO PARTS OF THE HANDLE AT THE SAME TIME WE CAN GET THE DOOR OPEN. I HAVE CARPAL TUNNEL AND THAT IS SOMETIMES DIFFICULT. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT A RECALL I WAS TOLD NOT YET BUT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED IN LATER MODELS. IF IT IS EVER RECALLED WE WILL GET OUR REPAIR MONEY BACK. IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL WEEKS AND WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR THE PART. IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT OR NEED TO GET OUT OF THE CAR IN A HURRY THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD. WHAT IF I LOSE POWER AND CANNOT GET THE WINDOW DOWN. I CAN NOT VALET PARK. I WAS TOLD AND WELL AS SAW IT ON THE INTERNET THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THE MKZS AND FORD FUSIONS.
