DURING THE FIRST INCIDENT, I WAS DRIVING AND HEARD A LOUD WHIRLING SOUND THEN SMOKE STARTED COMING OUT THE EXHAUST. I WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS WITH THE TURBO CHARGER. THEN I HAD THEM REPLACED THREE MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING MY CAR LOST POWER. THE THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND I COULDN'T MOVE THE CAR. I LEFT THE CAR WHERE IT WAS, THEN CAME BACK THE NEXT DAY AND IT DROVE FINE I TOOK IT TO THE REPAIR SHOP IN THE MECHANIC COULDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS AND TODAY WHEN I WENT TO PICK THE CAR UP THE CAR STARTED SMOKING AGAIN NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY TYPE OF SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON.

LINCOLN MKS 2010 LOST POWER ON HIGHWAY AND STARTED SHAKING. TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHO DID A TUNE-UP, CHECKED THE TURBOS AND NOW SAYS IT NEEDS THE MOTOR REPLACED DUE TO A BAD CYLINDER. FORD NEEDS TO FIX THESE ECOBOOST ENGINES WHICH ARE FAILING.

JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR ABOUT A MONTH AGO OFF THE USED LOT AT A FORD DEALERSHIP 59,000 MILES NOW IS AT 63,000 AND ON EVERY START UP IT MAKES A LOUD CLICKING NOISE TOOK IT BACK THEY TOLD ME THEY NEW RIGHT WHAT IT WAS BECAUSE THE F150S AND THE TAURUS SHOS WITH THE 3.5 ECO BOOST I GUESS THEY HAVE THE PROBLEM MORE OFTEN THEN THE LINCOLNS. THE TIMING CHAIN TENSIONOR IS LOSING ITS PRIME THEY TOLD ME AND WILL BE $3000 TO FIX SUCKS BEING I JUST PAID $15,000 CASH FOR IT A MONTH AGO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LINCOLN MKS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WARNING LIGHT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OVERHEATING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WATER PUMP HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

LINCOLN 2009/2010 THROTTLES DOWN WHEN A/C ENGAGES. AFTER 1 YEAR OF REPLACEMENT OF PARTS. INCLUDING A/C COMPRESSOR. MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. THROTTLE SYSTEM. CAR REPLACED 1&1/2 LATER WITH 2010. AT FIRST USE OF A/C 2010 CAR THROTTLED DOWN CAUSING IT TO JERK..REPORTED TO SERVICE MANAGER WHO STATED WITHOUT INSPECTION IT WAS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE CAR. I REQUESTED A FIELD ENGINEER TO INSPECT. CAR INSPECTED AND 2010 MKS DID THROTTLE DOWN 50-70 RPM . THE CAR THROTTLES DOWN GOING DOWN THE ROAD. ENGINEER STATED HE WOULD REPLACE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR AT 1ST SERVICE OF CAR ON5/28/10. WHEN I CALLED TO SCHEDULE SERVICE ,SERVICE MANAGER STATED HE RECEIVED REPORT AND MATTER CLOSED IT WAS A CHARACTER OF THE CAR. THERE IS AN ELECTRONIC PROBLEM THAT CAUSES THE MKS TO THROTTLE DOWN WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THAT IS A POSSIBLE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ANYONE. NOTE THIS PROBLEM IS NOT AS BAD AS THE 2009 I HAD AS IT SHOOK EVEN AT IDLE. I BELIEVE FORD/LINCOLN MKS HAS AN ELECTRONIC MANUFACTURES DEFECT. SOMEONE NEEDS TO HAVE FORD CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE THEM ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. IF THE ELECTRONIC PROBLEM CONTINUES AS WITH THE PREVIOUS MKS THE PROBLEM INCREASES SUGGESTING COMPUTER DEGRADATION. *TR
