2013 Lincoln MKS owner complaints

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 Lincoln mks. While driving 30 MPH, the advanced service indicator illuminated and the steering wheel became inoperable. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer (tindol Ford, 1901 e. Franklin blvd, gastonia, nc 28054) where it was diagnosed that the power steering control module needed to be reprogrammed. The vehicle was not repaired due to a blockage to the power steering module. The vehicle was previously repaired per NHTSA campaign number: 15v340000 (steering). The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was approximately 161,000.

Car was parked when I started it up. I got a steering assist fault message. Guess it's a common problem with Ford's epas. They should be held accountable like takata because of the huge safety risk. According to Ford my VIN isn't part of the recall for the same model and year. Ridiculous.

I started the engine, I had no power steering, power steering fault lit up on the dash. Shut off car, restarted engine, power steering was restored. If this failure occurs while driving down the road, the car is near impossible to steer. I looked up recalls on this vehicle, there is one for cars produced 9 months before mine, but mine is not included in this recall. The symptoms are identical, I suspect this car should be subjected to the recall as well.

Steering system made a whining, humming noise while driving, and steering control was not completely possible as the vehicle wandered both left and right. Subsequent investigation by dealer showed the steering rack was compromised, and replacement effected.

The power steering goes in and out making it impossible to control when it happens. Very difficult to turn the wheel, issue # 2 temperature control goes from set temperature to full heat unassisted. You cannot turn the high temperature setting off. It is unbearable to drive in car with heat on full blast. Both of these issues can happen in motion or when stopped

The contact 2013 Lincoln MKS. The contact stated that upon starting the vehicle, the heating system activated independently and was blowing hot air on a 90-degree summer day. The contact stated that the failure had been recurring and persisted while driving. Upon investigating the failure online, the contact related the failure to the Front Control Interface Module (FCIM). The dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the failure and informed the contact that the part was not available to repair the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

The control for temperature in car at any time can go to maximum heat while driving. It is unbearable inside of the car not good for my elder mom when it happens as it is too hot in car

We just purchased this car and shortly after we were driving home and it just starts beeping and suddenly the heat comes on full blast, no one is touching the controls. This happens quite frequently and once it starts rising there doesnt seem to be a way to stop it. A simple google search shows that this is a well known problem by lincoln and happens a lot, there are a lot of forums and videos all showing the exact same issue. This is a major safety concern as it causes a distraction from the noise and sudden temp change, causes distractions as you frantically hit buttons trying to get it to stop, and could even cause the window to fog up. My dealer said its not covered by any recalls or warranty and wants $1000 to fix it. I called the lincoln help line and they said to report the issue to

A/c randomly goes to highest setting and you can't adjust it or turn it off. Typically happens in extreme termperatures (hot and cold). Beeping noise as if you are pressing the buttons is continuous. Was advised it was a faulty fcim but the part "is on back order" and no one can advise when this part will become available. In doing research, the fcim part seems to be failing in many vehicles and everyone has the same complaint - they can't get one.

Power Steering Issues. Power steering completely locks up or totally doesn’t work most times. Unable to turn steering wheel. Have been told by several mechanics they have say the same issue with other Models that have been recalled. Some VIN numbers are not being recalled.

Rear camera backup camera fails to show, says to contact dealership and does not display image although camera is properly intact.

Paint on the hood is corroding and peeling in several different areas.

The HVAC controls are touch sensitive/haptic. They fail with high frequency at low mileage. My vehicle has 70k miles, it started at 65k. They won't allow control of the HVAC system or activation of the front defrost/defog. The touchscreen controls can not over ride the fault which means no driver control. When it faults, the HVAC goes to the highest setting of 85deg F, the blower goes to high and can't be changed which is a defrost/defog safety issue. Sometimes it will stop if you continue pressing "OFF" for 5-10 minutes. It will continue beeping which is distracting and can be indistinguishable from other warning sounds. Also a safety issue. Very common problem on the 2013-up Lincoln MKS & MKT. If parts can be located, it's at least a $1,200 repair.

My vehicle's fuel pump electronic control module failed and my vehicle would not start. There is a recall for this issue for the same model year, however my VIN number is not included in this recall. I paid for and had the fuel pump electronic control module replaced at the Lincoln dealership. The date notated below is in reference to when this incident occured. The other issue involves the manufacturer's optional 20 inch wheels. When the vehicle is equipped with these wheels, it causes the adaptive suspension to not work properly, creating a very harsh ride. This harsh ride was not disclosed as a side effect on the manufacturer's website, and it defeats the purpose of having an adaptive suspension system. It also increases the risk of bending the wheels when driving over potholes which

I went to cal worthington in anchorage alaska where I bought my car to have the recall 13s04 fuel delivery module replaced. Now less than a week with the new module, the module is leaking and the gas fumes are overwhelming inside my garage. I parked my car outside last night to be sure it was the car. I pulled it back in this morning and right away the garage was overwhelmed with gas fumes. The dealership is a 3 hour drive one way for me. I am tired of mechanics leaving things uncompleted. They didn't hook my heated seats back in after working on it. Wires were hanging out of the bottom and my motor protector shield was not screwed in. Also, 3 weeks ago, another couple in the area owned a 2013 Lincoln mks similar to mine. It caught on fire while waiting for their food in a mcdonal
