2014 Lincoln MKZ owner complaints

While turning a corner the power steering went out and became extremely heavy, almost unable to turn the wheel to complete the turn. A notification came on from the car indicating "service advance trac" and "steering assist fault service required". *js

When I read about the steering wheel bolt recall in june 2018 I checked the condition of my steering wheel bolt and discovered it was loose and was the bad design that was being recalled. I waited for a recall notice that never came and when I checked with dealer in december 2018 they informed me that my car was not on the recall list. I have purchased a new bolt and will install myself. However, I am still quite concerned that someone may still be at risk of injury. It appears to me that the original notification by Ford lists the production dates that include my vehicle. I personally observed the loose steering bolt on my vehicle and bad design. For some reason, not all of the affected vehicle owners are being informed of a problem . I purchased this vehicle in march of 20

Replace electric steering rack hp5z* 3504*c had to replace electric steering rack. Question is with two recalls somewhat related to the steering column ( bolt in steering wheel and a power train issue) would this ultimately affect the electric steering rack hp5z*3504*c?

An electrical overload occurs below the passengers seat, burning out the electrical connector, requiring a costly repair and can be a fire hazard. This is the second time this vehicle had this electrical problem and has required repair. The dealer has confirmed this problem, but has no solution, only to replace the same parts. There is not notification this issue is occurring, the only evidence of the problem is the heated/cooled seats stop working.

12m02 -- I took the vehicle in for this extended service plan twice during while it was still active. Both times the dealership tried to play it off as "not under the warranty" and "software issue not hardware". They even charged me for the service over $250 worth of "updates". That did not even fix the issue with the display turing off while the vehicle is operating making most of the vehicles functions useless. The dealership is now denying to fix the problem and Ford/Lincoln is claiming it is out of warranty. When I took it in already twice for this issue and was taken advantage of and robbed $250 when they should have replaced the display (apm module) to fix the issue as per forda instructions. Please help me as the apm module would cost me over $2,000 to fix when the dealership an

My car has had numerous electrical issues since the day I have purchased it. Again, last week, the instrument panel lit up with numerous codes. I drove it to the dealership and left the car for a few days. The codes cleared and they cannot root cause the issue. In addition, when I have been at a stop light the driver's seat regresses backwards, and the side view mirror moves at the same time.

Upon starting the vehicle, when I put the car in reverse order drive in low speed or getting into gear the car sputters. It stalls and powers off, creating a hazard. It is beginning to happen more frequently. It will act as if it is not receiving fuel and it makes me restart it. Most occurs in parking lots or driveways.

Vehicle suddenly dies when driving without warning. I purchased the vehicle one month ago. Brougt it to the dealer for the bolt recall and stalled while dealer was trying to pull it into the bay. After that point, the vehicle died while drivng on numerous occasions. Went to the mechanic one two occasions and no codes pulled. Called dealer and they said I needed to go to a Ford dealer. Went to Ford dealer one code pulled (fuel injector) was replaced recommended I change transmission fluid and replace battery which I agreed to. Forty minutes after leaving dealer as I was oulling out of a parkign lot the car suddenly died again almost causing me to be hit by a box truck behind me. The car is back at the dealer and once again no codes are coming up and they said they cannot duplicate t

Outer bearing failure in transmission resulting in metal-to-metal bearing destruction and according to Ford technicians once complete failure occurs would cause the vehicle to abruptly stop when driving. Ford-Lincoln issued a technical service bulletin for this issue but there has been no customer notification or voluntary recall for my specific vehicle VIN but it is my understanding that there was a recall for this issue for other Ford and lincolns for this problem to replace the transmission. The only resolution is a complete replacement of the transmission as the transmission can not be repaired. The old core transmission was required to be sent back to Ford-Lincoln. The factory transmission is warrantied for 60,000 miles and in my specific case the vehicle had 110,000 miles. The r

I was heading to work and I didn't see any issue on my dashboard that something is wrong with the car. I drove the car three blocks and the car stopped all of sudden while I was in driving mode. I call the dealer and they told me to tow the car to them. The dealer calls me the next day and said your brake system wires were chewed by an animal. I asked why my breke alert didn't show up on the dashboard, they couldn't explain and keep asking me to pay for it. I told them I could have been killed if I was going in high speed and the car brake system stop any time. I feel like there is a fault that needs to be investigated. This is really not safe when your most important part of the car system wires is chewed by an animal and I don't see any indicator showing me any issue related to it. I n
