2013 Lincoln MKX owner complaints

The contact owns a 2013 Lincoln MKX. The contact stated that the heating and A/C units had increased to high levels. The defroster was fogging up the windshields. The driver had a limited visibility of the roadway. Additionally, the vehicle was running hot. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, and the contact was informed that the failure was due to the thermostat and the center head module. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000. The VIN was not available.

Follow-up to NHTSA id number: 11047965 after filing NHTSA complaint 11047965, took car to dealer for investigation. Computer had recorded a code for the fuel pressure sensor which was then replaced. After the repair, drove about 2 weeks and 400 miles (including several hours at highway speeds) without further incident. Then on interstate highway at speed (70 MPH on cruise control), the engine stopped without warning or alarm, resulting in loss of propulsion, power steering, and power brakes. Was able to coast to a stop on the right shoulder without collision. Was able to restart engine normally and continue, but the event recurred a second time 10 minutes later with the same results. Was able to drive about 80 miles to home without further incident. Engine shutdown is accompanied

Vehicle randomly dies while driving. Can happen at anytime and at any speed. No warning at all. Does not leave a check engine light so no code is recorded. Very dangerous. Otherwise vehicle runs well but is too dangerous to drive. All steering, acceleration, brakes, etc. are lost when it dies. Will immediately start back up if in park or neutral and foot on the brake. Again - DANGEROUS! This has been going on for over 6 months now. Some days all ok and other days can be multiple events.

At night, while at speed (60 MPH) in center lane of a crowded highway during evening commute, the engine stopped, resulting in loss of propulsion, power steering, and power brakes. Fortunately was able to coast to a stop on the right shoulder without collision. Was able to restart engine normally and proceed home (about an hour) without further incident. Next day did some low speed (5 MPH) testing in a quiet area to investigate possible causes. Could not replicate with any button on remote or steering wheel. Symptoms could be replicated by pressing engine start/stop button while in motion. This button is too high to hit with driver's knee and located where accidental touch by driver's arm/hand is highly unlikely. Both driver and front seat passenger say this button was not activated

Noticed for the last year or two that the buttons on my air and best turn on without to touch any button and will not power off also the windows will fog while driving. If heat is on the buttons will dial to air conditioning which causes foggy windows while on busy interstate. Also noticed there are several complaints on the internet from others who experience similarities of what is call ghost buttons. This also send sensor into a frenzy and can cause the car to over heat without warning happen to me twice.

Brake failure. Pedal drops, especially when ABS is activated. Dealer diagnosed ABS control module and HCU hydraulic leak. Parts for this are on back order per dealer leaving me with a dangerous driving situation or inability to use my vehicle. No warning lamp or message displays. The fact that the parts to fix a major safety item are not available is unacceptable.

When the air condition is on it is cool for a while then the heat is on and will not go back to air condition. Same problem with the heat it is warm for a while and then the air condition comes on. Also, I have had warm air on the passenger side and cool air on the drivers side at the same time.

The electronic keys for the car are way too sensitive. They can be in a purse or backpack and the buttons can be pressed down. They are also easily pressed down if you have them in your pocket with another item. On multiple occasions we have walked out to our car and had the windows all down, the sun roof open and or the tailgate up. We frequently will set off the alarm. One time it had started raining heavily and the windows had gotten rolled down. Consequently the interior of the car was soaked. We have had other cars that had similar keys but have never had this problem. *tr

Brake booster has tear preventing car from stopping when brake is applied,car has approximately 30100 miles. Took car to Lincoln dealer service dept and was told yes there is a problems with brake booster but my VIN no has not been recalled while others were for 2013 and therefore my claim would be not honored under recall

Brake Booster faulty almost caused me to not to be able to come to a complete stop in traffic. My thoughts were that I needed to have brakes replaced. I did have front and back replaced. But braking are still the same the same ..not coming to a complete stop, hissing sound.

When driving the vehicle, the brakes got stiff and mushy and hard to stop the car. There was not indicator on the dash there was an issue with the brakes. Had it checked by a mechanic and he stated it needed to go to the dealership since it was the brake booster which needed attention. I looked for recalls on this model and they had one in 2015 time frame, but I did not purchase it used until 8/17 after the recall. I set an appointment with the Stumpf Ford where they confirmed it was the brake booster. I also found numerous (43) complaints about the same issue with the 2013 Lincoln MKX. I fortunately did not have an accident when this happened, but feel there are issues around the brake booster and it is a hazard for my self and other drivers if there had been an accident. The deal

The Brake Booster on my vehicle failed. I had it replaced and two years later it failed again. Many owners of the 2013 Lincoln MKX have this same issue. This is very dangerous and it putting my families and others lives in danger if my brakes were to completely fail while driving down the highway. There should be some kind of recall on this as I have seen thousands of complaints for the same thing on this exact thing.

Front headlights (driving lights) go completely out while car is driving down the road. This started with the right headlight when the car was less than two years old and now both headlights go out while driving. The lights can be turned back on by turning the switch off and then back on. Very dangerous to drive??

My transfer case in my car broke and I just bought this car in august. Is it from the recall?
