2007 Lincoln MKX Engine Problems

WATER PUMP FAILURE, NOW PULLING LIQUIDS INTO ENGINE. DROVE APPROX 2 MILES ON CITY STREET WHEN NOTICED GAUGE FOR ENGINE TEMP WAS IN THE RED. PULLED OVER IMMEDIATELY. DIAGNOSED WITH WATER PUMP FAILURE AFTER TOW TO MECHANIC. 120,000 MILES ON VEHICLE

WHEN WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM VALLEY CADILLAC IN ROANOKE VA IN 2014. WE SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING A FEW DAYS LATER. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER WHO KEPT IT FOR OVER A WEEK. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO SEND IT TO THE FORD DEALER BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T REPAIR IT.I WAS NEVER WAS TOLD WHAT THE ISSUE WAS ONLY THAT IT COST UPWARDS OF $800. HERE WE ARE AND I WAS STRANDED ON I81 BECAUSE THE TRUCK LOST POWER AND STARTED VIBRATING . IT WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP AND I AM MORTIFIED AT THE FINDINGS. THE COIL PACKS WERE BAD. THIS IS CAUSED BY THE PCM COMPUTER FAILURE.THAT INFORMATION WAS NOT SHARED AT TIME OF PURCHASE AS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS ROUTINE MAINTENANCE.IN ADDITION, THE FIX WAS TO WELD A CRACKED AND WARPED COIL PACK VS REPLACING IT AND HE BAD COMPUTER. HERE I AM $962 LATER AND STILL NEED TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER. HAD THIS BEEN DONE CORRECTLY THE FIRST TIME, I WOULDN'T BE HERE. I HAVE A PICTURE THAT I WILL UPLOAD LATER. INCIDENTALLY THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY DAUGHTERS 2008 MKX THE MONTH PRIOR.

WATER PUMP FAILURE: LINCOLN MKX 2007 DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, CAR WAS RUNNING GREAT AS USUAL WHEN SUDDENLY I LOST ALL POWER EXCEPT LIGHTS. AT THAT SPEED, THANKFULLY I HAD ENOUGH TIME TO GET OVER TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC WITH NO POWER AND COAST OFF THE ROAD. I HAD TO CAR TOWED TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE MASTER CERTIFIED TECHNICIANS ARE WORKING TO REPLACE MY ENGINE. THE CAR HAD JUST BEEN SERVICED FOR OIL CHANGE, AIR FILTER, ROUTINE MAINTENANCE TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS ENGINE FAILURE. MECHANIC FOUND THAT THE WATER PUMP FAILED LEADING TO OIL AND COOLANT IN THE ENGINE. THIS CAR 122,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT OVER THIS, BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY FORD OR BY MY DEALER (OXMOOR FORD LINCOLN) THAT THERE WAS A POTENTIAL PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN OF THIS ENGINE. THE WATER PUMP IS INSIDE THE ENGINE. WHEN THIS FAILS WITH NO WARNING IT CAUSES THE ENGINE TO FAIL. THIS HAS LEAD TO A COST TO ME OF $6000 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. I SPOKE TO HEATHER AT LINCOLN QUALITY TODAY (CASE #11395985) AND SHE SAID, "UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER YOU EXCEPT OUR SINCERE APOLOGIES." THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I WAS NOT ASKING TO RECOUP MY ENTIRE LOSS SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS MILES ON IT, BUT THEY COULD OFFER SOMETHING TO A (FORMER) LIFELONG FORD CUSTOMER.

OUR VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR END CRASH WHILE STOPPED AT A PEDESTRIAN CROSS WALK. THE VISUAL DAMAGE TO OUR LINCOLN MKX WAS THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND REAR BUMPER. THE NON-VISUAL DAMAGE WAS THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER. THE POWER SURGE FROM THE REAR END IMPACT WHILE THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED CAUSED THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER TO FAIL. BOTH MY MECHANIC AND THE LOCAL FORD DEALER CONFIRM THAT THE FAILURE OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS CAUSED BY THE DAMAGE RELATED TO THE REAR END IMPACT IN THE ACCIDENT. THE LOCAL FORD DEALER HAS SEEN MULTIPLE VEHICLES BRAKE POWER BOOSTERS FAIL DUE TO REAR END COLLISIONS YET THE INSURANCE COMPANY DENIED MY CLAIM FOR REPAIR TO THIS SYSTEM. THE FAILURE OF THIS SYSTEM IS A VERY HAZARDOUS CONDITION AS IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO BRAKE THE VEHICLE WITH OUT THIS SYSTEM WORKING CORRECTLY. *TR

LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID FROM FRONT OF VEHICLE BY RADIATOR. *TR

TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS LEAKING. WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY AS THE TRANSMISSION COOLER WAS DAMAGED BY STONES. I ASKED FOR THE PART AND DETECTED THAT THERE WERE MANY STONES EMBEDDED IN HE TRANSMISSION COOLER. THIS IS A DEFECT THAT LINCOLN WILL NOT ADMIT TO. POTENTIAL HAZARD IF YOU SPRING A LEAK WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR
