I heard about a recall of certain Lincoln mkt's with the ecoboost engine back in august. There was mention that there was a problem with the fuel injector and that the car could potentially stall. I promptly made an appointment to take my car into the dealership. When there, they told me they didn't have the parts and had no idea what to even order; that I should wait for a notice from Ford/Lincoln. I did receive a letter a couple weeks ago but it said to wait until the dealership contacts me that they have parts or contact them if my car shows "symptoms", whichever occurs first. On saturday, my car literally stopped working with not more than a 2 minute warning. I had been driving it on errands. I stopped at a friends's house of about 15 minutes. I had turned the car off. When I

To start we have 5 other Lincoln mkts with the same concern in the last 18 months, 4 which were covered under base warranty. The glass roof during what seems to be temperature changes pops. This time Lincoln will not cover this even though it only has 25,000 miles on it. I went through regular Ford channels and they refused full coverage. After some research I found they have had problems with other vehicles as well . The conditions at the time the roof popped . Car was parked during day and through the night in a secured lit camera monitored parking lot. The next morning roof was shattered.

09/11/2025 ODI #11686557.0

I am submitting this complaint regarding a recurring safety issue with the rear-view camera system in my 2014 Lincoln MKT. The camera intermittently fails to display a proper image when the vehicle is placed in reverse. Specifically, the screen either remains blank, displays a distorted image, or inverts the image entirely. These malfunctions significantly impair rear visibility and pose a safety hazard, particularly in environments with limited space or pedestrian traffic. I have narrowly avoided several incidents with other vehicles or pedestrians, due to this camera malfunction. I am aware that Ford Motor Company has issued a recall for similar rear-view camera defects affecting various models from the 2015 to 2019 production years. However, my vehicle—despite exhibiting identical symp

10/16/2016 ODI #10916351.0

Lincoln mkt 2014 has stalled three times. I have always taken it to a dealer for regular maintenance and repair. It has not even been two weeks since the car came back after a 1 month of repair from the dealer that my car does not start. I called roadside assistance, they gave a boost which made the car start but after leaving the engine running for 1 hour and turning it off, this car does not start! Lincolns mkt has serious car defects that even their trained mechanics don't seem to resolve the problems this car has given me. I bought this car brand new and since 2014 car is under 100000miles and has stalled three times! Fyi the dealer changed my car battery and it has not even been a year with a new battery!!! *tr

I received a recall letter from Lincoln in early 2020 for a recall on rear suspension tow links. I called the dealer and they said the parts are not available and will have them at the end of the year. I called them in october and they still saying no parts, yet the I called the parts department and they have the parts available if you wana buy it yourself. I drive this car in limousine service and this is such a safety concern not only for me but for the passenger sitting in the back. The customer service at Ford dealerships sucks.

After starting the car from a cold (65 degree) condition, the display showed an error message "electric power assist system malfunction" and I observed no power steering. The wheel was nearly impossible to turn. Turning the car off and restarting it rectified the problem but I'm concerned that this problem could occur while I'm driving and cause me to drive off the road due to steering failure. Indeed, after researching the subject online, I found other owners of Lincoln mkt's, it's twin Ford flex, and some fusion models have reported the same issue and some have even gone off the road, although no injuries resulted. I also learned there was a factory recall for this issue involving mkt's until model year 2013, and other models, but my car is a 2014 and it obviously has the same proble

November 21, 2021, while driving on the HWY at about 65 MPH, the forward panoramic moon roof exploded. Simply exploded. Not hit by anything - no cars or trucks in front of us. Thank goodness, we had the interior part closed, or it would have exploded all over us. This was a very loud explosion! Thank goodness I did not lose control of the car.

Panoramic glass roof suddenly broke off when driving. No cars ahead of me, glass just exploded like my car was getting shot. A loud boomm, when stopped the car to look at it, the sides of front panoramic glass roof was broken on the both side and all cracked in between. Now, one day after, roof has a big whole in the middle. After a research online, there are many cases like mine that have happened on same kind car, so this seems a manufactory issue to me. And this is a safety issue, which someone could have gotten hurt inside. Thank god my inside cover was closed. Hope this issue can get resolved

Noticed sluggishness on interstate and exited at the first available exit that was approximately 1 mile away. When exiting interstate and coming to a complete stop at the stop sign, it died and would not start. It was blocking the single turning lane. It was turning over very well but seemed to be lacking fuel maybe. Had it towed to local mechanic shop. No word back from them yet. Just had the fuel pump replaced at my expense about 4 months ago. I know there was a recall on the fuel pump before we bought it. It was an employee's vehicle that worked at the dealership and I suspect the so-called repair was pencil whipped and not really repaired by the dealership. It was a "certified " car and we paid a premium price for it and I'm still paying!

My 2014 Lincoln MKT has two moonroofs. The first one exploded on 9/12/22 while driving the car on a sunny, wind free day. Sounded like a gunshot hit the glass and was frightening. Car is 8 years old at time of incident. I see this has been an ongoing issue with Ford/Lincoln since 2007. These parts need t be recalled. The glass alone is $3300 with total 3 day repair over $5K! Had to find a glass vendor who could shrink wrap exterior/interior so glass would not fall into vehicle and rain would not enter vehicle. See class action lawsuits have been previously filed.
