2008 Lincoln MKZ Problems & Complaints

Have tried to schedule an appointment with my local Lincoln dealer to have the recall on my car fixed but they told at this time they have no way to fix it.

2008 Lincoln MKZ AWD. Driver's door won't open from inside. Multiple Online mentions of this dangerous problem. Can't get out of vehicle in case of emergency.

Bought vehicle from owner 02/2023. Check brake system light came on a few months after, breaks started to skip and making a sound. Took it in to Ford dealership and they showed 2 recalls but never said it would be fixed.

Vehicle is AWD, part is Transfer Case/Power Transfer Unit. Many issues from customers online and what was marketed as a lifetime part was changed to maintenance at 30,000 miles since the amount of gear oil is minuscule and the heat this part has to contend with is extreme due to location. Car becomes undriveable very quickly and is very dangerous. A leak began and due to small amount of oil it starts to grind, jerk and tires won’t move very rapidly. Extremely dangerous! Instead of a change it should be a recall. This part is also about $1600 alone which means Ford is making money on this to top it off. The mechanic said it was starting to melt the parts and could have been a fire if I didn’t drive it right over.

The contact owns a 2008 Lincoln MKZ. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle overheated, and smoke was coming inside the cabin through the A/C vents. The contact was able to veer to the side of the road to inspect the vehicle and noticed that coolant was leaking onto the ground. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where the thermostat was replaced; however, the failure reoccurred on four other occasions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who refilled the coolant in the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. Additionally, the contact stated that on 5 separate occasions while driving, the brake pedal was depressed but the vehicle hesitated to respond, causing his vehicle to rear-end his wife’s vehicle. There were no injuries sustained. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle would shudder while depressing the brake pedal. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V904000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The contact also stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated. The contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Numbers: 21V158000 (Air Bags), 17V024000 (Air Bags) and 16V384000 (Air Bags). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 122,416 (Air Bags) and 16V384000 (Air Bags). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 122,416

I experienced unintended acceleration upon entering a highway. The vehicle accelerated normally in first gear, but upon shifting into second gear, acceleration exceeded pedal input, as though the cruise control 'Resume' function had activated. Acceleration continued with my foot completely off the accelerator pedal and with full brake application. The event stopped when I kicked the accelerator pedal, suddenly, to full deflection, and engine operation returned to normal. I experienced three separate occurrences of this problem within a few hours. No codes were generated to activate the 'Check Engine' light, or any other warning light. Cruise control was off at the time of the events.

The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V904000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) and 21V158000 (Air Bags) however, the parts to do the recall repairs were not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repairs. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

I called ford dealerships to fix the problems back in 2019 but the two recalls have not been fixed yet. Recently, my car was almost failing to stop while I was breaking down.

Manufacturer Recall Number19S54 NHTSA Recall Number19V904 Manufacturer Recall Number21S12 NHTSA Recall Number21V158 I've been waiting to complete the first recall for my car for over two years and during that time a second recall for the airbag has come out. I am afraid to drive my car and put others in danger and I'm afraid to sell my car because I could be knowingly putting other people at risk of injury or death and I can't do that knowingly.

The contact owns a 2008 Lincoln MKZ. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brake pedal would only respond when depressed all the way to the floorboard. The ABS warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the vehicle speed sensor needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the speed sensor was replaced; however, the failure persisted. The contact received a recall notification for NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V904000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic), and the vehicle was taken to the dealer who informed the contact that the vehicle had passed the hydraulic control unit test. The dealer replaced the brake fluid; however, the failure reoccurred while driving. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who diagnosed that the hydraulic control unit had failed and needed to be replaced. The dealer submitted a report to the manufacturer for assistance with the repair of the vehicle; however, the manufacturer informed the dealer that they would not assist as the request was beyond a reasonable amount of time for the subsequent failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 113,000.

Acutely while driving, the brake petal went all the way to the floor. The brakes slowly slowed the car but didn’t stop it. Car was towed to the dealership May 21st. I was refused a loaner. Despite receiving two separate notices (one of which was after they had my car) telling me to go get the free fix, they have failed to provide the part. Leaving me without a car for four months. This has to be past a customary fix time.

I AM HAVING A REALLY HARD TIME GETTING THIS AIR BAG REPLACED WITH A LOCAL DEALERSHIP THE ONLY DEALERSHIP IN RADIUS. MTN VIEW LINCOLN FORD CHATTANOOGA, TN. THIS IS THE ONLY VEHICLE I DRIVE AND I ADVISED THEM I WOULD NEED A LOANER WHILE THIS REPAIR IS BEING DONE. THE FIRST TIME I CALLED WITH A CS REPRESENTATIVE ON THE PHONE THEY ADVISED ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE A PART BUT COULD ORDER IT. I ASKED ABOUT A LOANER THE REP TOLD ME ONLY THE SERVICE MANAGER CAN APPROVE THAT AND I WAS SENT TO HIS DESK WHERE I LEFT A MESSAGE. I DIDN'T RECEIVE A CALL BACK. (THERE IS A GOOGLE REVIEW REGARDING MY EXPERIENCE). AFTER RECEIVING YET ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE LAST WEEK I DREADFULLY ATTEMPTED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THIS FIXED. WHICH WAS TODAY AT 7:45, LAST WEEK I EXPRESSED AGAIN THE NEED FOR A LOANER THE GUY WHO ANSWERED THE PHONE ADVISED ME THEY HAD 40 LOANERS OUT BUT HE CAN SEE WHAT HE CAN DO. TODAY I ARRIVED WAITED 20 MINS AND TODD COMES TO MY VEHICLE I ADVISED THEM WHAT I WAS THERE FOR AND HE STATED THERE ARE NO LOANERS BUT HE WILL GIVE ME A CALL AND UPDATE ME. NO ONE HAS CALLED ME.

I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING STALL AND TURNED THE STEERING WHEEL SHARPLY TO THE LEFT AND HEARD A BREAKING SOUND. WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, IT WOULD NOT MOVE EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING. I FOUND THAT THE FRONT WHEELS WERE BOTH POINTED INWARDS (PIGEON-TOED) A SEVERE AMOUNT. A FLAT-BED TRUCK WAS CALLED TO TAKE THE CAR TO THE FORD DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE REPORT FROM THE FORD DEALER IS THAT AN OUTER TIE-ROD END HAD BROKEN COMPLETELY THROUGH IN WHAT WOULD BE CHARACTERIZED AS A BRITTLE FRACTURE. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THERE WAS A BRIGHT CLEAN BREAK NOT TYPICAL OF A FATIGUE FAILURE OR A DUCTILE FAILURE.

TAKARA RECALL I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM LINCOLN 3 YEARS AGO AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE, THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE HAS DECREASED AND I CANNOT SELL IT. THEY SHOULD BUY BACK THE CAR AT THE VALUE OF IT 3 YEARS AGO.

ABS ENGAGED ON SNOWY ROAD. NOW, BRAKE PEDAL IS EXTREMELY SOFT/SPONGY...DOES NOT ENGAGE UNTIL PEDAL IS FULLY DEPRESSED. COUNTY ROAD. STRAIGHT-LINE STOP. REPLACED BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND PERFORMED FACTORY PRESSURE/SERVICE BLEED. CAUSE IS CERTAIN TO BE THE HISTORICALLY FAULTY ABS HCU/CONTROL MODULE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LINCOLN MKZ. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO OPEN ALL THE VEHICLE'S DOORS, THE DOOR HANDLES FRACTURED. ALSO, THE REAR LOCKS FAILED TO OPERATE THE DOORS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT AN UNKNOWN ELECTRICAL MOTOR SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

WENT TO STOP IN WINTER CONDITIONS AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. ALMOST REAR ENDED THE CAR AT THE STOP SIGN, HAD TO GO TO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID HITTING THEM. NOW THE ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT COME ON AS SOON AS I REACH 15 MPH. I HAVE HAD ALL THE ROTORS, CALIPERS, AND BREAK PADS REPLACED. STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

TIRES CONSTANTLY GOING FLAT BECAUSE OF RIM.I WOULD NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER LINCOLN EVER

TAKATA RECALL.PREVIOUS REPORT NUMBER 11048667. RECEIVED MORE RC NOTICES SINCE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT. ALSO RECEIVED NOTICE OF PART (S) AVAILABILITY. CALLED DEALER JULY 2018 FOR APPOINTMENT AND HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM SINCE.

TAKATA RECALL, THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SUDDENLY ILLUMINATED WITHOUT ANYTHING TRIGGERING IT WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK. IT SHOWS THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS OFF DUE TO HAVING SOME KIND OF WEIGHT ON THE SEAT. BUT THERE IS NOTHING ON THE SEAT AT ALL WHEN THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IT IS STILL ON AND STAYED ON. I READ ABOUT THE RECALL FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAGS AND I READ THE THE AIRBAG CAN EXPLODE DURING A CRASH AND THAT DEFEATS THE PURPOSE OF HAVING AN AIRBAG. IT'S SUPPOSED TO SAVE LIVES AND NOT TAKE THEM AWAY. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS FIXED AND RESOLVED BEFORE WINTER COMES IN FULL EFFECT AND TO AVOID ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS IF AN ACCIDENT DO OCCUR.

BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, VEHICLE INCREASINGLY DIFFICULT TO STOP AFTER ABS EVENT. 11/10/18-DEALER PERFORMED DIAGNOSTICS INDICATING REAR ROTORS NEED REPLACING, AUTHORIZED REPAIR. 11/10/18 AFTER REPLACING ROTORS DEALER STATES REAR CALIPER ACTION IS ERRATIC, STATES REAR CALIPERS NEED REPLACED DUE TO ERRATIC ACTION. AUTHORIZED REPAIR WITH OEM FORD PARTS, NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL 11/12/18. DEALER VEHEMENTLY DENIES HCU IS THE ISSUE EVEN AFTER I PROPOSE THIS SCENARIO. STATES NOT THE HCU 11/12/18-DEALER CALLED SAID PEDAL IS MUCH BETTER, HOWEVER, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE NO INDICATIONS OR CODES, HCU IS FAULTY, WANTS ME TO PICK UP CAR. STATES THAT PEDAL TRAVEL RETURNS, BUT MIGHT WANT TO HAVE THE HCU REPLACED. !! DEALER PREVIOUSLY STATED HCU WAS NOT THE ISSUE, THE REAR CALIPERS WERE: DUE TO ERRATIC BEHAVIOR. SERVICE TO THIS POINT TO HAVE COMPONENTS REPLACED, THAT HAVE NOT RESOLVED INITIAL COMPLAINT VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY INVOLVED IN FRONTAL CRASH FROM PREVIOUS OWNER. DETAILS WERE NOT IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE TO ME. WILL BE REQUESTING DEALER ASSISTANCE WITH PART REPLACEMENT IN THIS SCENARIO.

I WAS GOING ABOUT 35 MPH AND STARTED SLOW DONE TO A STOP AND IT FELT LIKE THE CAR JUST WOULDN'T STOP I PUSHED THE PEDAL TO WHAT FELT LIKE THE FLOOR AND NOW TO STOP IT NEEDS TO BE PUSHED ALL THE WAY. IT FEELS UNSAFE. IF I WOULD HAVE HAD A CAR IN FRONT OF ME I WOULD HAVE REAR ENDED THEM.THIS IS A REAL ISSUE AND DANGER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LINCOLN MKZ. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

TAKATA RECALL

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LINCOLN MKZ. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS). THE RECALL NOTICE INDICATED THAT THE PART WAS UNAVAILABLE AND A LOANER VEHICLE WAS AN OPTION; HOWEVER, THE DEALER (SCHUMACHER LINCOLN OF DELRAY, 561-454-1800, LOCATED AT 2102 SOUTH FEDERAL HIGHWAY, SUITE B, DELRAY BEACH, FL 33483) STATED THAT A LOANER VEHICLE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

BRAKES SPONTANEOUSLY WENT SOFT, DURING TRAVEL (30 MPH?). CHANGED MASTER CYLINDER WHICH SEEMED TO RESOLVE ISSUE. COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER, HAPPENED AGAIN UWHILE IN MOTION. MASTER CYLINDER CHANGED 2ND TIME UNDER WARRANTY. HAPPENED THIRD TIME WITHIN WEEKS TRAVELING ABOUT 50 MPH. THE THIRD TIME, IT HAPPENED UPON APPLICATION OF BRAKES (NOT AGGRESSIVE) WHICH CAUSED ABS ACTIVATION. PULSE WAS FELT IN BRAKE PEDAL AND IMMEDIATELY BRAKES PEDAL WENT SOFT (ALMOST TO FLOOR). PUMPING BRAKE PEDAL FIRMED THE BRAKES. COUPLE OF DAYS LATER, TESTED ABS ON GRAVEL ROAD BY AGGRESSIVE BRAKING, ABS ACTIVATION AND BRAKES WENT SOFT IMMEDIATELY DURING THE ACTION. PUMPING UP BRAKES RESULTED IN FIRMING, AT TOP OF BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL WITHOUT SLOWING VEHICLE THEN INTO SOFT TRAVEL THROUGH 3/4 TRAVEL UNTIL FIRMED AGAIN AT BOTTOM OF TRAVEL. CONCERN IS THAT IN THE EVENT OF EMERGENCY BRAKING WHICH ACTIVATES ABS, TYPICAL BRAKING CHANGES TO 'SOFT PEDAL' (BELIEF OF FAILED BRAKES) AND POTENTIAL FOR PANIC AND RESULTING COLLISION. DEALER TESTED SYSTEM TODAY (10/03/2018) AND COULD NOT DIAGNOSE ANY PROBLEM. NO DASH LIGHT WAS EVER ACTIVATED IN ANY OF THE EVENTS DESCRIBED. NO BRAKE FLUID LEAK DETECTED, NO LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID.

WE ARE CONTINUALLY RECEIVING LETTERS ABOUT NOT HAVING THE RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. HOWEVER, WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NO LOANER AVAILABLE OR ARE UNDER A LONG LIST OF OTHER OWNERS WAITING, OR THE PARTS WILL TAKE A FEW DAYS. I TRIED CALLING THE NHTSA HOTLINE AND BOTH TIMES THE CALL WAS DISCONNECTED AFTER PICKUP. THIS IS ALL VERY FRUSTRATING AND SCARY TO HAVE TO DRIVE A CAR WITH A POTENTIAL FATAL DEFECT EVERYDAY AND AT LONG DISTANCES. THERE SHOULD BE AN ALTERNATIVE THROUGH RENTAL CAR BUSINESSES OR INDIVIDUAL INSURANCE TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVERS.

BREAK PEDAL WILL GO TO THE FLOOR THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING. BREAKS WILL WORK BUT VERY SCARY TO DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR.

I PURCHASED A LINCOLN MKZ IN 2015 AND IN 2016, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM FORD ABOUT A RECALL ON MY LINCOLN PASSENGER SIDE FRONTAL AIRBAGS. 2 YEARS LATER AND MONTHLY PHONE CALLS ABOUT REPAIR AND I CONSTANTLY GET THE RUN AROUND THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT IN YET. SOLUTION IS TO NOT PUT PASSENGER UP FRONT, WHICH IS NOT A VIABLE SOLUTION. I EITHER WANT MY CAR REPAIRED OR A REPLACEMENT. I DID NOT BUY A 5 PERSON PREMIUM CAR TO ONLY BE TOLD IT IS NOW A 4 SEATER. THIS IS EXTREMELY UNACCEPTABLE AND I WOULD LIKE HELP WITH WHAT I AM LEGALLY ABLE TO DO.

TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN OVER 2 YEARS SINCE WE WERE NOTIFIED WE HAD AN AIR BAG RECALL. I ALSO CONTACTED THEM AFTER TWO YEARS AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD NOT GOTTEN THAT FAR YET. I STRONGLY OBJECT TO HAVING TWO WAIT OVER TWO YEARS FOR SOMETHING THIS IMPORTANT TO OUR SAFETY. IF WERE HURT OR ONE OF US KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT AIR BAGS COULD HAVE KEPT US SAFE WE HAVE LEFT WORD TO SUE THE LIVING HECK OUT OF THEM. WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO MOVE THEM ALONG.

FIRST RECALL WAS JUNE 2016-NEARLY TWO YEARS LATER NO REPAIR. I WAS ADVISED TO NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT SEAT....EXCELLENT CYA FOR TAKATA, BUT VERY INCONVENIENT FOR ME/FAMILY/FRIENDS. PLEASE HELP MY COMPLAINT IHAS BEEN ACTION TO REPLACE AIRBAG, EXCEPT RARE NOTICE THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE.

RETIRED US ARMY VETERAN,,,,BOUGHT CAR USED IN 2010 WITH APPROX. 25,0000 MILES FROM A DEALER. IT HAS CHROME WHEELS. AT APPROX 50,000 MILES & 2015, THE CHROME ON THE WHEELS STARTED PEELING AND I STARTED GETTING LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNINGS FROM SLOW LEAKING. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER< ( ALWAYS DEALER SERVICED) THEY SAID THE RIM IS CORRODING AND THEY HAVE TO REMOVE THE WHEEL AND TIRE, BREAK DOWN THE TIRE OFF THE RIM, GRIND THE CARROTION OFF THE RIM, PUT SEALER ON IT AND REINSTALL AND REBALANCE THE TIRE. ITS NOT WARRANTEED, SO COST ME $35 AND TOOK 1/2 HR. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD THE OTHER 3 WHEELS DO THE SAME. I WAS QUOTED $845 TO REPLACE ALL 4 CHROME WHEELS WITH ALUMMINIUM WHEELS AND BEST TO DO THAT WHEN NEED NEW TIRES. I AM LOOKING FOR A SET OF USED ALUMMINUM WHEELS FOR IT INSTEAD. OR GET $1,000 LESS ON A TRADE IN FOR ANOTHER 2 YR OLD USED LINCOLN MKZ. I HAVE OPTED TO TRADE IT IN AND GET A 2016' MKZ. BUT WITH ALUM. WHEELS.

WHEN DRIVING THE BRAKES STARTED GETTING SOFTER AS YOU PRESSED THE BREAK PEDAL BUT THE CAR WOULD STOP AT FIRST. THEN A WEEK LATER THE RIGHT FRONT BREAK WOULD ACTIVATE THE ABS AND PULL TO THE RIGHT EVERY TIME YOU STOP. THREE MECHANICS LOOKED AT IT FOR 45 MINUTES. BREAKS , ROTORS, MASTER CYLINDER, ALL WERE FINE. NO FLUID LOSS, ABS LIGHT, OR CODES. HAD TO REPLACE THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT AS SOME VALVES WERE STUCK OPEN. LOOKING ONLINE I SAW MANY OTHERS HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. SO I REPORTED THIS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LINCOLN MKZ. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL IN THE SNOW, THE ABS ENGAGED. AS A RESULT, THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE DEPRESSED TWO OR THREE INCHES TOWARD THE FLOORBOARD TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED THREE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

MY 2008 LINCOLN MKZ HAS A DIMINISHED BRAKING CAPABILITY AFTER AN ABS EVENT ON THE SNOW A FEW DAYS AGO. THE ABS CYCLE WORKED, THEN MY PEDAL HAS AN EXTRA INCH OR 2 OF TRAVEL AND FEELS UNSAFE. THIS IS THE THIRD INCIDENT LIKE THIS WITH THE CAR IN THE 5 YEARS I HAVE OWNED AFTER BUYING IT CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED FROM FORD. WHEN I RESEARCH THE PROBLEM ON LINE, I SEE MULTIPLE CASES IN THE 2006 TO 2008 LINCOLN MKZ/ZEPHR, THE FORD FUSION AND THE MERCURY MILAN. ALL OF THE ON-LINE REPORTS SAY THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL VALVE FOR THE ABS SYSTEM. NONE OF APPEARS TO BE COVERED BY FORD. I AM TAKING MINE TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER TOMORROW TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT MINE AND DRIVE IT WHILE IT IS ACTING UP. I FEEL SOMETHING AS CRITICAL TO THE SAFE BRAKING OF THE VEHICLE THAT APPEARS TO BE A CHRONIC MODEL PROBLEM OUGHT TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD. THE PART IS EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE AND SHOULD BE DONE BY QUALIFIED SERVICE.

WHEN ABS ENGAGES, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES REALLY SQUISHY, AND HAS TO BE PUSHED TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. DOESN'T FEEL LIKE IT WOULD BE ABLE TO STOP IN EMERGENCY SITUATION. HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR YEARS, BUT HASN'T BEEN AN ISSUE IN DRY CALIFORNIA. NOTE CALIFORNIA IS WET, AND IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. ABS SEEMS OVERLY EAGER TO ENGAGE, AND THIS CONDITION TAKES DAYS BEFORE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMS NORMAL AGAIN.

THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT ALLOWS WATER TO LEAK INTO IT AND THEREFORE SHORTS OUT ELECTRICAL ITEMS. SO FAR I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH MY BATTERY, THE STARTER FUSE, AND THE TAIL LIGHT FUSE. REPLACING THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IS THE ONLY WAY FOR ME TO HAVE TAILLIGHTS AGAIN ON THIS VEHICLE. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED ON THE FREEWAY ONE NIGHT BECAUSE MY TAILLIGHT FUSE SHORTED OUT DURING THE DRIVE. THE WATER IN THE HEAD LIGHT ACCUMULATED OVER TIME, SO I CANNOT PINPOINT EXACTLY WHEN THE SEAL BROKE, BUT THERE IS NO REPAIRING THE SEAL. I'VE BEEN ON MANY VEHICLE FORUMS AND HAVE HAD DISCUSSIONS WITH MANY OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT COLLECTING WATER.

TAKATA RECALL. I WAS NOT INFORMED OF ANY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE AIRBAGS UNTIL RECEIVING A LETTER IN JULY 2016 THAT STATED THE PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG MIGHT RUPTURE AND KILL THE OCCUPANT OF THAT SEAT ' WHO MOST COMMONLY HAPPENS TO BE MY PREGNANT WIFE. IT WAS FIRST REPORTED IN NOVEMBER 2014 BY THE NEW YORK TIMES THAT TAKATA WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. ONE CAN ONLY SPECULATE HOW MUCH EARLIER THE COMPANY OFFICIALS WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THAT THOUGHT ASIDE, IT IS CRIMINAL THAT IT TOOK LINCOLN 20 MONTHS TO DETERMINE THEY HAD THE AFFECTED AIRBAGS IN THIS VEHICLE AND ALERT THE OWNERS OF SAID VEHICLES. IT HAS NOW BEEN 5 MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED THE LETTER. DURING THIS TIME PERIOD I HAVE CONTACTED THE COMPANY MANY TIMES AND NEVER HAVE THEY BEEN ABLE TO OFFER ANY INFORMATION WHATSOEVER. IT HAS BEEN OVER 2 YEARS SINCE THEY DETERMINED THE AIRBAG IN MY VEHICLE CAN KILL MY PREGNANT WIFE IF EVER DEPLOYED. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE IS 8 YEARS OLD AND I LIVE IN THE PANHANDLE OF FLORIDA. CONSIDERING THOSE TWO FACTORS I AM IN THE HIGHEST RISK CATEGORY. HOW HAVE I NOT BEEN CONTACTED TO HAVE THIS FIXED? AT THE VERY LEAST, WHY HAVE I NOT BEEN OFFERED A LOANER VEHICLE WHILE THEY FIGURE OUT HOW TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM? IT CERTAINLY FEELS LIKE LINCOLN IS CONSIDERING MY WIFE'S LIFE A FINANCIAL RISK THEY ARE WILLING TO TAKE. THE WAY THIS HAS BEEN HANDLED IS INCONCEIVABLE. PLEASE HAVE LINCOLN LOOK TO MAKE MY VEHICLE A PRIORITY. I AM AN ACTIVE DUTY SERVICE MEMBER WHO WILL BE RELOCATING ACROSS THE COUNTRY IN MARCH 2017 AND AM HIGHLY CONCERNED THAT AT ANY POINT DURING THE DRIVE MY WIFE AND UNBORN CHILD MAY BE KILLED BY A KNOWN ISSUE. *TR

TAKATA RECALL - NOTICE OF "RECALL" RECEIVED 7/29/16 TO WHICH LINCOLN MOTOR COMPANY STATED THAT THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. IN RESEARCHING IT WAS FOUND THAT THE COMPANY PREDICTED THAT A RESOLUTION WOULD BE AVAILABLE THROUGH 2019 BY STATE IN WHICH IT WAS NOTED THAT MY STATE, CALIFORNIA, WAS NOT EVEN LISTED. I SUGGESTED THAT A COMPARABLE LOANER BE MADE AVAILABLE OR DEALER AUTHORIZATION BE EXPEDITED TO DISABLE THE AIR BAG. LINCOLN RESPONSE DATED 8/5/16 WAS RECEIVED 8/13/16 IN WHICH THE COMPANY MERELY STATED "AT THIS POINT, THE GUIDELINES FOR THIS RECALL DO NOT INCLUDE A LOANER VEHICLE". IN THAT THE COMPANY DID NOT ELABORATE ON "THE GUIDELINES" NOR RESPOND TO WHETHER OR NOT THE LEGISLATION TO DISABLE THE BAG HAS BEEN LEGISLATED I AM IN RECEIPT OF A NON-RESPONSE AND CERTAINLY SEE THAT THIS IS NOT ANYTHING THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED A "RECALL".

I HAVE OWNED MY LINCOLN MKZ FOR 3 YEARS. ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR THE CHROME ON THE WHEELS BEGAN TO PEEL. SHORTLY AFTER THE PEALING BEGAN THE RIMS DEVELOPED A SMALL LOSS OF AIR DUE TO THE CORRODING WHEELS REQUIRING ME TO CHECK THE TIRE PRESSURE AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK AND FILL AT LEAST TWO TIRES WITH AIR EVERY WEEK TO ACHIEVE A SAFE LEVEL OF OPERATION. THE DEALER WILL DO NOTHING TO HELP RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM OTHER THAN TO SELL ME VERY EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT WHEELS. AFTER THREE YEARS THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME SIGNIFICANTLY WORSE CAUSING ME TO FILL MY TIRES WITH AIR EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT. THE CHROME ON THE WHEELS LOOK AWFUL WITH THE PEELING AND SHARP EDGES CAUSED BY THE PEELING CHROME. EVEN THE DEALER IS SHOCKED FORD HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL OR ADDRESSED THIS. THIS IS A WELL KNOW SAFETY ISSUE WHICH FORD HAS REFUSED TO RECOGNIZE. I HAVE RECEIVED A RESPONSE FOR FORD (SEE ATTACHED) INDICATING THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST ME WITH THE REPAIR. MY CONCERN IS SAFETY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NOT ONLY FOR ME BUT FOR THE GENERAL DRIVING PUBLIC. I HOPE YOU WILL ADDRESS THIS ISSUE WITH FORD BEFORE SOMETHING SIGNIFICANT HAPPENS AND SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT.

BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM A LINCOLN DEALER SHIP IN NORMAN, OKLAHOMA. LATER MOVED TO TEXAS TO BE CLOSER TO MY DAUGHTER. THE CAR HAD NOT DONE THIS BEFORE, BUT ONE NIGHT WHILE I WAS AT THEIR HOUSE, WALKED OUT AND THE CAR STARTED BY ITS SELF. SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE BEEN SHOPPING AND HAVE COME OUT AND MY SUN-ROOF AND ALL OF MY WINDOWS ARE DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES SINCE. I REGULARLY TAKE IT TO A LINCOLN DEALER HERE IN HOUSTON. I HAVE ASKED THEM SEVERAL TIMES WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, AND THEY SAY THAT IT IS RELATED TO THE PROGRAMMED KEY, AND THEIR IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. I AM 78 YEARS OLD, AND HAVING THIS HAPPEN IN THE HOUSTON AREA IS REALLY A SAFETY FACTOR. HAVE TRIED TO MANIPULATE THE KEY TO TRY AND MAKE THESES THINGS HAPPEN, BUT TO NO AVAIL. A GENTLEMEN THAT RESIDES WHERE I LIVE NOW RECENTLY CAME UP TO MY APARTMENT AND WANTED TO KNOW IF I KNEW THAT MY SUN-ROOF AND WINDOWS WERE DOWN. EVERY DEALERSHIP THAT I HAVE TAKEN IT TOO DOES NOT SEEM TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. ONLY THAT IS RELATED TO THE KEY. I NEED HELP SOLVING THIS PROBLEM. I CAN ONLY GUESS AT THE DATE WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED.

LEFT REAR WHEEL HAD CHROME FLAKE OFF AT THE POINT OF ATTACHMENT TO THE TIRE CAUSING AIR LEAK IN OCT 2015. WHEEL WAS REPLACED. RIGHT FRONT WHEEL HAD CHROME FLAKE AT THE TIRE SEAL CAUSING TIRE LOW PRESSURE. DEALER RECOMMENDS REPLACING WHEEL. CAR HAS APPROX. 54000 MILES. THE LOSS OF AIR IN THE TIRES IS SENSED BY THE TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR. IF TIRES ARE INFLATED IT TAKES ABOUT THREE DAYS UNTIL THE SENSOR LIGHT COMES BACK ON.

CHROME WHEELS DID NOT USE NICKEL UNDERCOAT AND CHROME PEELED OFF CAUSING AIR LEAKS AND DIFFERENTIAL WOULD MOAN FROM UNEVEN TIRE PRESSURE; BOUGHT 4 NEW AFTER MARKET WHEELS FOR $775 AND SOLVED PROBLEM. FRONT DRIVING LIGHTS ALLOWED WATER TO PENETRATE FROM VENT IN WHEEL WELL CAUSING TO FILL UP WITH WATER AND SHORTED OUT CONNECTORS. COVERED VENT HOLES. REWIRED CONNECTOR AND WATER PROOFED THE LIGHTING ASSEMBLIES BUT THEY ARE STILL VERY HAZY FROM WATER DAMAGE. DEALER WANTED $1,200 TO REPLACE THEM AND SAID IT IS COMMON. AFTER MARKET REPLACEMENTS COST $350 TO $500 EACH; PROBLEM STILL NOT RESOLVED AND MAKE AN OTHERWISE VERY PRETTY CAR LOOK LIKE CHEEP CRAP. VERY NICE CAR; STUPID FORD PROBLEMS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LINCOLN MKZ. THE CONTACT PURCHASED AN IGNITION COIL AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT A REPLACEMENT COIL WAS NEEDED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 190,000.

THIS IS MY FATHERS CAR. HE IS A WWII VET AND JUST SHY OF 98 YEARS OLD. WE JUST REPLACED AN AC ON THE CAR, AND NOW THE COMPUTER HAS FAILED AND NEED REPLACING. THE FEDERAL WARRANTY FOR THIS STATE IS 8 YEARS OR 80K MILES. THE CAR HAS 47K MILES AND THE 8 YEAR WARRANTY ENDED 1 MONTH AND 20 DAYS AGO. LINCOLN WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT TO EVEN PRORATE AN AMOUNT TO HELP HIM. THIS IS THE VEHICLE HE USES TO GET TO DR APPTS. I FIND IT HARD TO SWALLOW THERE LACK OF COMPASSION FOR HIM AND THEIR PRODUCT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LINCOLN MKZ. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO RESTART AND WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,197.

TONIGHT WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME, I CAME TO A RED LIGHT. WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES, THE BRAKES MADE A WEIRD SOUND, HIT ALMOST TO THE FLOOR AND WOULD NOT STOP THE CAR. I PRESSED OFF THE BRAKE AND PRESSED IT AGAIN AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR AGAIN, BUT NOT AS MUCH AND EVENTUALLY STOPPED THE CAR. I PULLED OVER AND KEPT TESTING THE BRAKES AGAIN AND IT WAS STILL GOING TO THE FLOOR BUT THE EVENTUALLY STOPPED. LUCKILY I WAS ABOUT 5 MINUTES FROM HOME SO I DID NOT HAVE TO DRIVE MUCH FARTHER. WHEN I GOT HOME, I WENT ONLINE TO LOOK UP THE ISSUE AND I FOUND OTHER PEOPLE INQUIRING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. SOME PEOPLE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY AND THE ISSUE WAS STILL NOT PROPERLY RESOLVED. I THINK THIS COMMON ISSUE NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED, AND A RECALL ISSUED SINCE BRAKES PLAY A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN THE SAFETY OF A CAR. IF I WAS NOT ON AN EMPTY ROAD OR IF I HAD A CAR RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, I COULD HAVE HAD A CAR ACCIDENT TODAY BECAUSE I COULD NOT STOP THE CAR RIGHT AWAY. I ENDED UP PRACTICALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION.

DRIVER'S INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE DOES NOT OPEN THE DOOR. MUST LOWER POWER WINDOW AND OPEN FROM OUTSIDE. IF IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, THIS COULD HAVE DEADLY CONSEQUENCES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LINCOLN MKZ. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AIR WAS CONTINUOUSLY LEAKING FROM ALL FOUR TIRES CAUSING THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE INNER EDGE OF THE CHROME WHEELS BEGAN TO DETIORATE AND PIECES OF CHROME CHIPPED OFF CAUSING AIR TO LEAK FROM THE TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000.

THE WHEELS ON MY 2008 LINCOLN MKZ ARE CORRODING TO THE POINT THAT THE TIRES ARE LOOSING AIR. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE TIRES TAKEN OFF THE WHEELS SEVERAL TIMES AND CLEANED THE RIM ONLY TO HAVE IT CONTINUE TO CORRODE AND LEAK AIR AGAIN. IT IS RUINING MY TIRES AND IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD NOT KNOWING HOW QUICKLY THE TIRES WILL GO FLAT. MY MKZ HAS ONLY 48,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED. I HAVE TRIED TO DEAL WITH LINCOLN, BUT THEY ARE NO HELP. I LOVE MY MKZ BUT AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH LINCOLN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LINCOLN MKZ. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR RIMS OF THE VEHICLE WERE CORRODED WHICH CAUSED AIR TO LEAK FROM THE TIRES. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FRONT AND THE REAR RIMS WERE THE ORIGINAL FACTORY INSTALLED EQUIPMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE VENT ON MY 2008 LINCOLN MKZ IS POPPING UP AWAY FROM THE DASH AND THE DASH IS BUCKELING. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE CLIPS BECAUSE IT WAS AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE CLIPS WERE WORE OUT.. HOW DO CLIPS WERE OUT ON A DASH. THE CAR IS NOT VERY OLD FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. JUST WANT TO SEE IF THERE ARE OTHER OWNERS OUT THERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LINCOLN MKZ. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO STATED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES EXHIBITED LOW TIRE PRESSURE DUE TO THE SEVERELY RUSTED RIMS. THE FOUR TIRES WERE INFLATED TO THE PROPER AIR PRESSURE ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED EVERY TWO WEEKS. THE RIMS WERE NOT REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LINCOLN MKZ. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, AN ABNORMAL NOISE EMITTED FROM THE ENGINE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THIS WAS A RECURRING FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AT THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE STRUT MOUNT ON THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,002. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN I PURCHASED MY 2008 LINCOLN AWD MKZ, NEW TIRES WERE PART OF THE "DEAL". FROM THE VERY BEGINNING ONE TIRE (DRIVERS SIDE REAR) WAS LOSING AIR. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN BACK AND FORTH TO THE DEALER CONSTANTLY EVER SINCE THE PURCHASE OF MY MKZ. AT ONE POINT THE DEALER SENT ME TO AN INDEPENDENT TIRE COMPANY. THEY LOOKED AT THE TIRE IN QUESTION AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRE WILL NOT "BEAD" TO THE RIM BECAUSE OF THE FLAKING OF THE CHROME ON THE RIM. THEY DID PUT A SEALANT ON THE AREAS BUT IT WAS A TEMPORARY FIX. NOW I'M HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT WHEEL LOSING AIR. WHEN THE WEATHER IS COOLER, THE AIR LEAK IS SLOWER, DURING WARM WEATHER, THE LOSS IS FASTER. IN THE PAST TWO WEEKS I HAVE HAD AIR ADDED TO THE TIRES AT LEAST ONCE EACH WEEK. WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE WHEELS/RIMS THAT ARE POSTED, WHAT, IF ANYTHING, WILL FORD/LINCOLN DO ABOUT THE PROBLEM? I'M PROUD OF MY LINCOLN AND WITH ALL THE COMMERCIALS ABOUT FORD STANDING BEHIND THEIR VEHICLES WHY ARE WE STILL HAVING A PROBLEM?

THE CHROME RIMS ON OUR 2008 LINCOLN MKZ BEGAN FLAKING AND CORRODING. THIS PROBLEM DID NOT BEGIN UNTIL AFTER THE ORIGINAL TIRES WERE REPLACED IN 2013. ORIGINALLY THE PROBLEM OCCURRED IN THE COLDER MONTHS, REQUIRING REFILLS EVERY 4 WEEKS. NOW THE PROBLEM IS OCCURRING IN THE WARMER MONTHS AND MORE FREQUENTLY. RAPID DEFLATIONS HAVE LEFT A TIRE COMPLETELY FLAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE ISSUE IS KNOWN AS THIS DATABASE SHOWS. FORD REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND ADDRESS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON SR 441 WHEN A VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME STRUCK THE MEDIAN. I HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE BRAKES DID NOT RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AL PACKER FORD (TOWED). THE DEALER REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER. ON OR ABOUT APRIL 15, MY SON AS OPERATING THE SAME VEHICLE WHEN HE NEEDED TO STOP QUICKLY. MY SON HIT THE BRAKES AND THEY DID NOT RESPOND. NO COLLISION OCCURRED AT THIS TIME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LINCOLN MKZ. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE RIM WAS RUSTED TO THE POINT OF CORROSION CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE TIRE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE TIRE CONSTANTLY HAD TO BE INFLATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE RIM AND THE TIRE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE TIRE AND RIM WERE REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OTHER THREE RIMS HAD RUST AND CORROSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES WERE REPLACED AND THAT THE THREE RIMS MAY ALSO DETERIORATE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

AIR PRESSURE ISSUES ON 3 OF MY TIRES. THE RIM?S CHROME PLATING IS FLAKING OFF, AND TIRES CONSISTENTLY LOSE AIR PRESSURE. I CONTACTED MY DEALER, BUT NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE. I PURCHASED THIS AUTO NEW AND IT HAS ALWAYS HAS BEEN GARAGED. I DO LIVE IN THE BOSTON AREA SO DO HAVE EXTREME WEATHER. THIS IS A QUALITY ISSUE AND A DRIVING HAZARD. A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION. *JS

SAFETY HAZARD-CHROME WHEELS CORRODING AND FLAKING. FREQUENT LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE PRE-MATURE WEAR OF TIRES. *TR

CHROME PLATING IS FLAKING OFF, AND TIRES CONSISTENTLY LOSE AIR PRESSURE. I CONTACTED RAY PRICE FORD IN STROUDSBURG, PA AND THEY SAID THIS SOMETIMES HAPPENS, BUT NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE. I CONTACTED MY TIRE PERSON AND HE TRIED TO BRUSH OFF THE EXCESS CHROME AROUND SEAL TO GET A BEAD, BUT NO LUCK. A NEW WHEEL IS AROUND $400, SO I GOT A USED ONE. SIMILAR ISSUES, BUT NOT AS FREQUENT. HOWEVER, OTHER WHEELS ARE BEGINNING TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE (LOSING AIR PRESSURE). A SET OF NEW WHEELS WOULD BE OVER $1500, WHICH IS NOT A VIABLE OPTION. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH A 'HIGH QUALITY' MANUFACTURER (LINCOLN). *JS

CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW IN 2008 FROM LOCAL FORD/LINCOLN DEALER, DEMPEWOLF FORD, HENDERSON, KY, AND ALWAYS GARAGE KEPT AND DEALER SERVICED. TIRES BEGAIN TO LOOSE AIR PRESSURE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. WHEN EXAMINED BY PURCELL TIRE, HENDERSON, KY, THEY SAID THAT CHROME WAS FLAKING OFF LEAVING A PITTED SURFACE AND THAT BEAD WOULD NOT SEAL AGAINST PITTED SURFACE. CAR IS EQUIPT WITH OPTIONAL CHROME PLATED 17" WHEELS. TIRES BECOME SERIOUSLY UNDERINFLATED WEEKLY. I HAVE JUST HAD PURCELL APPLY BEAD SEALER BUT THEY SAY IT IS PROBABLY NOT A LONG TERM FIX. THEY SAY THAT ONLY SOLUTION IS NEW WHEELS. *TR

THE CHROME COATING ON THE WHEELS IS DEFECTIVE AND FLAKES OFF. THIS DOES NOT ALLOW THE TIRES TO SEAT PROPERLY WITH THE WHEELS, CAUSING THEM TO LOSE PRESSURE. EVENTUALLY THIS CAN DAMAGE THE TIRES BY HAVING THEM REPEATEDLY DRIVEN UNDER THE RECOMMENDED PRESSURES. NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS BY MY TIRE DEALER TO REMEDY THE SITUATION, UNDER THEIR WARRANTY, HAVE BEEN FRUSTRATING AS THE ISSUE IS NOT OF THEIR MAKING. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON A NUMBER OF LINCOLN MKZ FORUMS AND THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT AMONG OWNERS. *TR

DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET MY VEHICLE HIT A POT HOLE IN THE ROAD. THIS WAS NOT A VERY DEEP HOLE, JUST A NORMAL INCIDENT YOU WOULD SEE WHEN DRIVING. AFTER HITTING THE POT HOLE THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GO ALMOST COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. IT WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO STOP. THE PROBLEM WOULD GRADUALLY CORRECT ITSELF USUALLY AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OF DRIVING. *TR

WITHOUT WARNING, THE DRIVER'S DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. I WAS TRAPPED IN THE VEHICLE. THE ONLY WAY TO EXIT THE CAR WAS TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW AND USE THE EXTERIOR HANDLE. *TR THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND IS IN GOOD WORKING CONDITION. THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING THAT THE DOOR HANDLE WAS WORN OR HAD A DEFECT. I HAVE DISASSEMBLED THE DOOR AND I SEE THAT AN INTERIOR SECTION OF THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE HAS FRACTURED. THIS SECTION ACTS AS A CAM TO PULL THE CABLE THAT OPENS THE DOOR. IT IS A POOR DESIGN BECAUSE THE PLASTIC IS IN PURE TENSION AND ALLOWS A CRACK TO CATASTROPHICALLY PROPAGATE. I BELIVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT TRAPS AN OCCUPANT IN THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. MANY FAILURE MODE EFFECTS ANALYSIS EVENTS ASSUME THE DRIVER CAN EXIT THE CAR TO RECEIVE A LOW SCORE. THIS MAKES SEVERAL OTHER POSSIBLE FAILURE MODES MUCH MORE DANGEROUS.

THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR WARNING LIGHT CAME UP AS WE PULLED AWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND NEVER QUIT LIGHTING UP, REGARDLESS OF THE NUMBER OF TIMES WE TOOK THE CAR TO DEALERS TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED AS USED, WITH 43,000 MILES IN MARCH 2012. APPARENTLY, THE MECHANICS AT IRWIN LINCOLN DEALERSHIP IN NJ ARE CLUELESS, AND THE ONLY REMEDY SEEMS TO BE THE PURCHASE OF NEW WHEELS, AT A COST OF ROUGHLY $2,000. OTHERWISE, THE CAR IS IN GREAT SHAPE, BUT THE SENSOR PROBLEM IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING. *TR

AFTER GETTING A LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING, I WENT TO TIRE STORE AND THEY SHOWED ME THE CORROSION TO THE CHROME AND EXPLAINED HOW IT WILL AFFECT THE TIRE AND THE WHEEL. I WAS NOTIFIED THAT I AM GOING TO CONSTANTLY HAVE ISSUES WITH LOW TIRE PRESSURE UNLESS I REPLACE THE WHEELS. *TR

THE CHROME COATING ON THE ALUMINUM WHEELS STARTED PEELING AND THE AIR WAS LET OUT OF THE TIRES. ONE TIRE HAD EXPLOSIVE DECOMPRESSION WHEN THE CHROME PEELED. IF THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT EVEN A MODERATE RATE OF SPEED THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. WHEN THE WHEEL LOSES AIR AND SIDEWALL INTEGRITY WHILE MOVING THE TIRE COULD JUST PEEL OFF THE RIM. I HAD TO HAVE THE RIM BEAD AREA SANDED DOWN TO RE SEAT THE TIRE. THE CHROME CONTINUES TO PEEL. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT LINCOLN DOES NOT WANT TO DEAL WITH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LINCOLN MKZ. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES HAD EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE OCCASIONS OF AIR DEFLATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE INNER RIM OF THE ALUMINUM WHEEL WAS CORRODED AND DAMAGED THE INSIDE OF THE TIRES CAUSING AIR TO EXIT THE TIRES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE WHEELS CHROME IS CORRODING AND FLAKING MAKING THE AIR LEAK FROM THE TIRE. WHEELS ARE BECOMING UNSAFE AND IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. *TR

AFTER SPENDING OVER 3,500$ ON NOISES WHILE TURNING AND HAVING REPLACED THE TIRES BECAUSE THE TIRE WAS CONSTANTLY GOING FLAT THE 17" 8 SPOKE MACHINED & PAINTED ALUMINUM WHEEL BEGAN TO CORRODE AND PEEL. TWO OF THE TIRES LEAKED AIR AROUND THE CONTACT OF THE RIM AND TIRE BECAUSE OF THE CORROSION. THIS CONDITION REQUIRES HAVING THE WHEEL TAKEN APART AND CORROSION REMOVED THEN REASSEMBLING THE WHEEL AND RE-BALANCING THE TIRE ASSEMBLY BEFORE RE-INSTALLING BACK ON TO CAR. I HAVE AVERAGED SERVICING THESE TIRES FROM ONCE A WEEK TO ONCE A MONTH DEPENDING ON THE TIME OF YEAR FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS AND HAVE HAD TO PURCHASE MORE TIRES IN ORDER COMPENSATE FOR THE WARE ON THE TIRE WHEN HAVING TO DRIVE WITH UNDER INFLATED TIRES WHILE TRYING TO SAFELY NAVIGATE TO THE NEAREST AIR PUMP SOMETIMES ON A DAILY BASIS! THE CAR DEALER IS AWARE. THIS IS A SAFETY VIOLATION!! THE OUT OF POCKET COST TO CONTINUOUSLY HAVE THESE TIRES REPLACED, REPAIRED. THE POOR GAS MILEAGE HAS BROUGHT THE ACTUAL COST OF THIS CAR UPWARDS OF 43,000.00:( *TR

THESE WHEELS ARE IDENTIFIED AS 17" 8 SPOKE MACHINED & PAINTED ALUMINUM WHEEL WHICH BEGAN TO CORRODE AND PEEL AROUND 2011. THEY LEAK AIR AROUND THE CONTACT OF THE RIM AND TIRE BECAUSE OF THE CORROSION. THIS CONDITION REQUIRES HAVING THE WHEEL TAKEN APART AND CORROSION REMOVED THEN REASSEMBLING THE WHEEL AND RE-BALANCING THE TIRE ASSEMBLY BEFORE RE-INSTALLING BACK ON TO CAR. DEPENDING ON SEVERAL CONDITIONS AS CLIMATE AND TEMPERATURE AND WHEN TIRE ASSEMBLY LAST SERVICED AIR LOSS VARIES FROM 10% TO MORE THAN 30% FROM MANUFACTURER 'S SUGGESTED TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE. I HAVE AVERAGED SERVICING THESE FOUR TIRES AT LEAST 6 TIMES OR MORE A YEAR FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS. I HAVE CONTACTED BOTH THE CAR DEALER AND FORD MOTOR CO. THE DEALER SAYS IT IS UP TO FORD TO PUT OUT A RECALL FOR REPLACEMENT WHEEL. THE DEALER AGREES THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT FORD MOTOR CO. DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS A PROBLEM. I CONSIDER THIS CONDITION A SAFETY VIOLATION NOT TO MENTION THE OUT OF POCKET COST TO CONTINUOUSLY HAVE THESE TIRES REPAIRED. IT AFFECTS MY GAS MILEAGE, TIRE LONGEVITY, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY SAFETY. PLEASE HELP THOSE OF US WITH THIS SITUATION. THANK YOU. *TR

LETTER FROM SENATOR NELSON RE CONSTITUENT REGARDING 2008 LINCOLN MKZ ( REFERENCE CONSTITUENT FOR THEIR RECORDS). *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED SLIGHTLY FOR MORE THAN A YEAR, THREE SAFETY WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THEY WERE THE TRACTION-STABILITY, ABS, AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS. THE FIRST TIME THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE DEALER, THEY STATED THE COMPUTER DID NOT DETECT ANY MALFUNCTION, AND TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK, WHEN THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. THE LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE INTERMITTENTLY AND WITHOUT APPARENT CAUSE, OFTEN ALL AT ONCE OR INDIVIDUALLY AND BEFORE, HE COULD GET TO THE DEALER. THE SECOND TIME, THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY WERE STILL UNABLE TO DETECT A PROBLEM. THE THIRD TIME, THE CONSUMER WENT TO THE DEALER, HE LEFT THE VEHICLE THERE. AFTER TWO WEEKS OF HAVING THE VEHICLE, THE LIGHTS FINALLY ILLUMINATED, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING TEST DRIVING. AFTER HOOKING THE VEHICLE TO THE COMPUTER, THE DEALER FOUND THE PROBLEM, WAS THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE MODULE THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE PART WOULD COST $700. HOWEVER, IT WAS AGREED, THE CONSUMER WOULD PAY $200 OF THE EXPENSE AS A DEDUCTIBLE. THE NEXT DAY, THE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AGAIN. THE CONSUMER TOOK A PICTURE OF THE LIGHTS AND RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOR A FOURTH TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER FOR A MONTH, WITH NO RESOLUTION.

I PURCHASED A 2008 LINCOLN MKZ WITH 15998 MILES ON THE ODOMETER IN JULY 2012 FROM A DEALER. SHORTLY AFTER WINTER BEGAN THE WHEELS STARTING TO BUBBLE AND PEEL. THEY ARE NOW STARTING TO FALL APART. IT IS CAUSING ISSUES WITH VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING AND AIR LOSS IN THE TIRES. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THESE WHEELS BUT LINCOLN/FORD WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEM BECAUSE MY CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD EVEN THOUGH IT IS STILL UNDER 30K MILES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LINCOLN MKZ. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHROME ON ALL FOUR WHEELS WAS FLAKING OFF AND AS A RESULT THE ALUMINUM WAS CAUSING LACK OF TIRE PRESSURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THERE WAS NO RECALL AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED WHO REFERRED HIM TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO SEALED THE RIMS AS A TEMPORARY REMEDY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,800.

I WAS PROCEEDING DOWN A RAMP TO ENTER HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. I PUT MY FOOT TO THE FLOOR TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE EVEN AFTER I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. I WAS UNABLE TO SLOW DOWN TO ANY GREAT EXTENT AS THE ENGINE WAS RACING. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SEEM TO BE OFF THE FLOOR ( NOT STUCK TO THE FLOOR ) AT THE TIME. I WOULD ESTIMATE THAT MY SPEED WAS 85 MPH WHEN I PUT THE SHIFTER INTO NEUTRAL AND STOPPED THE CAR IN THE BREAKDOWN LANE. AT THIS TIME THE ENGINE WAS REVVING SO HIGH, I THOUGHT FOR SURE THE ENGINE WOULD BLOW. BEFORE I HAD THE PRESENCE OF MIND TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, THE ENGINE STOPPED REVVING AND WENT BACK TO AN IDLE. THE BRAKES WERE SMOKING BUT THERE DID NOT SEEM TO BE ANY OTHER DAMAGE. I CHECKED THE FLOOR MAT AND IT WAS NOT NEAR THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. WE WERE ON VACATION AT THE TIME AND ABOUT 600 MILES FROM HOME SO I CONTINUED THE TO DRIVE BUT NOT PUTTING THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE LINCOLN DEALER THREE DAYS LATER AND THEY FOUND NO CODES AND NOTHING THAT WOULD ALLOW THE ACCELERATOR TO STAY STUCK. THE INVOICE INDICATES THAT THEY PERFORMED KOEO, KOER, AND OASIS AND ALL SYSTEMS PASSED. *TR..UPDATED 06/09/14 *BF UPDATED 06/13/2014 *JS

TIRE WHEEL RIMS HAVE CHROME LIFTING OFF RESULTING IN LOW TIRE PRESSURE. LOST 10 PERCENT TIRE PRESSURE IN 30 DAYS. *TR

THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS ON MY LINCOLN MKZ ARE LOCATED SO CLOSE TO EACH OTHER AND AT THE SAME HEIGHT THAT I HAVE TWICE EXPERIENCED ACCELERATION INSTEAD OF BRAKING WHEN PUTTING ON THE BRAKES BECAUSE I DID NOT MOVE MY FOOT ENOUGH TO CLEAR THE GAS PEDAL. I HAVE INQUIRED TO MY DEALER ABOUT MAKING AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE BRAKES PEDAL HEIGHT OR SPACING BUT WAS ADVISED THAT THIS COULD NOT BE DONE. THIS DESIGN IS AN "ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN" AND I AM LUCKY THAT IN BOTH INSTANCES I WAS ABLE TO REACT IN TIME TO AVOID ONE. IF THIS HAS NOT ALREADY BEEN BROUGHT TO THE ATTENTION OF THE MANUFACTURER, NHTSA SHOULD DO SO BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT. *TR
