The problem with this car is that the backup camera stopped working on my car. The line are gone and the image is reversed. The dealing told me it was the camera and it was almost $1,000 to replace it. I did notdo it, but now i am finding many othes with the same broplem. The safety issue is that when i back up and i am not sure if what i am seeing is accurate.
The contact owns a 2017 lincoln mkz. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, he observed a white blooming substance between the windshield and under the hood. The contact stated that he also observed a spot on the passenger’s side of the hood that was bubbling up. Additionally, the contact observed corrosion on the seamline of the underside of the hood, and the aluminum shell separated from the steel underside. The vehicle was taken to a body shop where it was diagnosed that the hood and hood mounts needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was then taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the hood needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 34,000.
In february of 2024, my check engine light came on. I took it to a dealership who informed that it was a spark plug issue and that they had replaced it. The check engine light came on again fairly soon after, and before i could get it back to the dealership the car died. I had it towed there and was told that the battery needed to be replaced. The day after i got my car back, the light came back on again. After taking it back to the dealership, it was determined to be an engine issue, with coolant leaking everywhere (which is what ruined the spark plug and battery. ) the estimate to fix this issue is $6,550. 00. My lincoln mkz has approximately 60,000 miles and one owner who took care of the maintenance religiously - this should not be happening.
While driving a complete loss of brake incident occurred. The brake pedal got still, and the car would not stop. Luckily, we were close to home and was able to slow down enough to turn around and get home slowly. Upon investigation it was found the coupler (part that connects camshaft to brake pump) failed causing the brake pump to not work. This situation is extremely dangerous as we had no prior warning to failure. Even the complete loss of brakes did not have any indicator lights during the incident. Considering the operation of the coupler, how could something so small and so important be weak enough to snap internally, causing a complete loss of brakes with no warning.
Water is leaking in through my trunk due to a flaw manufacturing design
Power steering control module stop working. Ford is aware of this issue and refusing to classify it as a recall. Vehicle inoperable at 83k miles.
While out of town, the check engine light came on and the car began sputtering. There was a lincoln dealer a couple miles away so i went there. The scan found code p303 and coolant had intruded in cylinder 3 and the engine needed to be replaced. The lincoln dealer stated that there was a service bulletin issued about this problem with eco boost 2017 lincolns.
I was driving in normal conditions with nothing near me and my glass sunroof (closed) exploded and shattered.
The 2017 mkz has an oil leak. I was informed during a recent state inspection and oil changed. When i left to take the car in, i noticed about a fist size spot of oil on the garage floor. When i received the call from the dealership, my mkz was serviced. The oil leak was from the oil pan. I was also, informed it required tsb. Explained by the ford team leader, it did not only need a new gasket. The service for the oil leak required the following; new oil pan, new valve covers, new gaskets, etc. Lincoln has designed a new pan, valve cover, gaskets which should eliminate the oil pan leak. The total repair cost went into approximately 4 times the cost for a normal oil pan gasket replacement. In researching, it appears lincoln has known of the potential problem since 2015 and i purchase this as a new used. When i purchased the car, it was a bought back and i was told all issues were repaired, but it appears if this was an issue in 2015 and lincoln has designed new parts, why was the oil pan and covers not replaced, if this engine has a known history of oil leaking. There not a recall or some type of resolution for the repair after any warranty issues. This is a design and manufacturing fault and negligence on lincoln. Now this extreme high-cost repair is placed on the consumer to fix lincoln's known engine design issue to eliminate the oil leak. Either a recall should have been called or the repair should not be fully on the owner. Now i am beginning to smell oil after just short drives around town.
