Vehicle experienced failed auto-start on road, resulting in vehicle inmobility from stop in traffic, causing safety hardzard to passengers other vehicles on the road. The cause is worn vct unit, as described in tsb 23-2143. The issue is safety critical and should not be merely addressed with an already expired customer safety program, it should be a safety recall.
My 2015 lincoln navigator suddenly down shifts when driving. I was on the highway driving 65 mph when i had to pull off onto the edge of the highway at night in chicago. This is very scary and a significant safety issue. Ford knows of the defects with the transmission in this model. They have issued recalls for the same transmission in other models, just not the navigator yet. This needs a recall immediately for the models that have transmissions with the same defects just as other ford models such as the f150.
Brake line failure. Had local repair shop repair brakes and realign, because i had to jump a curb at 40mph to avoid collision. Ford refuses (thru nonresponsive) to pay damages. Recall repaired weeks later by plate valley ford of kearney ne.
The contact owns a 2022 lincoln aviator. The contact stated that after switching to the reverse position, the backup camera image failed to display, and while driving approximately five mph in reverse the vehicle crashed into the front end of a second vehicle. During the crash, the occupant in the second vehicle sustained an unspecified injury that did not require immediate medical attention. No further information was available. A police report was taken at the scene and the vehicle was towed away. The cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The contact indicated that the backup camera was previously replaced due to inoperability. The failure mileage was 28,000.
Car was misfiring, so i took the car to the dealership. There is coolant leaking into the engine cylinders and there is white exhaust smoke. They tell me that this is a known manufacturer defect. There is even a technical service bulletin by ford recognizing the defect. Tsb-19-2346. The repair requires the engine block to be replaced. Cost is over 6k.
Coolant leaks into the engine cause the engine to eventually breakdown and a whole new engine is needed.
While driving on a highway the panoramic moonroof spontaneously exploded and shattered showering myself and my partner in glass injuring us both.
When turn and more specifically u-turns or sharp turns, the steering is very hard. I noticed that there was a recall on power steering for the lincoln mkz 2013 for cars registered in iowa. However, lincoln is saying that my car is not covered.
My car has an unknown electrical issue that causes the car battery to completely drain and the car unable to turn on. It first started in august 2023 and after months of time at the dealership, lincoln has never determined the cause or been able to fix it and it continues to happen. This is unsafe because it leaves me and my family stranded with no operable car.
When i took the vehicle in for service, i had to replace all 20 lug nuts as the dealer service department reported they were "swollen" and they were unable to complete the tire rotation. This also poses a safety risk as if i had a flat tire, i could not get them off to change a tire. They could also break causing stress on others and cause a wheel to come off of the vehicle. I was advised that this is a common problem with ford/lincoln vehicles, however there didn't seem to be any warranty coverage or safety recalls. If this is a common problem or some type of defect, it seems that i should not have had to spend $240 to replace them.
