TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 LINCOLN MKS. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOSS MOTIVE POWER AND STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER BALISE FORD OF CAPE COD (90 HIGH SCHOOL RD EXT, HYANNIS, MA 02601, (508)815-4007) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

MY 2013 MKS IS STALLING WHILING DRIVING NUMEROUS TIMES, ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT A FEW DAYS AGO. THERE IS A RECALL ON 2013 MKS FUEL MODULE BECAUSE IT CUTS OUT WHILE DRIVING. HOWEVER, AFTER CALLING LINCOLN I AM TOLD THAT MY LINCOLN MKS 2013 IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. LINCOLN REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MY 2013 MKS IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE WHERE ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING. BECAUSE MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. I ORIGINALLY TOOK THE CAR OR MY MECHANIC BECAUSE I NEEDED IT LOOKED AT RIGHT AWAY AS IT'S EXTREMELY UNSAFE. MY MECHANIC ALERTED ME TO THE RECALL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW LINCOLN THINKS MY CAR DOES NOT APPLY TO RECALL.

MY FUEL PUMP DRIVER MODULE WHICH SUPPLIES POWER TO THE FUEL PUMP STOPPED WORKING AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT 48,222 MILES. LUCKILY, THE CAR WAS NOT IN DRIVING MODE. IT WOULD JUST NOT START IN MY DRIVEWAY. IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE LINCOLN DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MODULE LOCATED BEHIND THE REAR SEAT BACK FAILED. THAT WAS A $488.64 BILL. I NOW SEE THAT THIS IS ONLY COVERED WITH THE 3.5 TURBO MKS, HOWEVER, THEY ARE THE SAME VEHICLES JUST WITH THE TURBO FEATURE. I DO FEEL THAT MY SITUATION IS RELATED TO THE SAFETY RECALL. THE VEHICLE WOULD CRANK BUT THE MODULE PREVENTED THE ELECTRONIC FUEL PUMP FROM WORKING. HOW CAN I RECEIVE SOME FORM OF COMPENSATION FOR THE REPAIR OF $488.64??? THAT MODULE SHOULD NOT HAVE FAILED WITH A VEHICLE ONLY HAVING 48,222 MILES ON IT. THE CAR IS IN TOP PRISTINE CONDITION. I PURCHASED ANOTHER OEM FORD UNIT FOR A BACKUP IF THIS SHOULD OCCUR AGAIN. I CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER $500.00 SERVICE BILL FOR THIS ISSUE. I WILL HAVE MY LINCOLN DEALER RESEARCH THE NEW OEM PART SO THAT IT ALSO WILL NOT FAIL.

CAR WOULD CRANK. BUT NOT START. THE CAR WAS PARKED @ HOME THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE COST OF REPAIRS.*JS

I WENT TO CAL WORTHINGTON IN ANCHORAGE ALASKA WHERE I BOUGHT MY CAR TO HAVE THE RECALL 13S04 FUEL DELIVERY MODULE REPLACED. NOW LESS THAN A WEEK WITH THE NEW MODULE, THE MODULE IS LEAKING AND THE GAS FUMES ARE OVERWHELMING INSIDE MY GARAGE. I PARKED MY CAR OUTSIDE LAST NIGHT TO BE SURE IT WAS THE CAR. I PULLED IT BACK IN THIS MORNING AND RIGHT AWAY THE GARAGE WAS OVERWHELMED WITH GAS FUMES. THE DEALERSHIP IS A 3 HOUR DRIVE ONE WAY FOR ME. I AM TIRED OF MECHANICS LEAVING THINGS UNCOMPLETED. THEY DIDN'T HOOK MY HEATED SEATS BACK IN AFTER WORKING ON IT. WIRES WERE HANGING OUT OF THE BOTTOM AND MY MOTOR PROTECTOR SHIELD WAS NOT SCREWED IN. ALSO, 3 WEEKS AGO, ANOTHER COUPLE IN THE AREA OWNED A 2013 LINCOLN MKS SIMILAR TO MINE. IT CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE WAITING FOR THEIR FOOD IN A MCDONALDS DRIVE THRU. IT COMPLETELY BURNED UP. *TR
