2009 Lincoln MKX Complaint Log

My car has a Recall for the AIRBAGS . The car started life in south Texas where it is hot and humid which makes the problem worse. My dealer hasn't complied with the RECALL, [XXX] , Stone Lake, WI [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact owns a 2009 Lincoln MKX. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, there was an abnormal sound coming from the front passenger’s side of the vehicle. The contact stated that the engine power reduced message was displayed and the wrench warning light was illuminated. The contact pulled over to allow the engine to cool down. The contact removed the oil cap and stated that the engine oil looked like chocolate milk. The contact took the vehicle Precision Tune to get the oil changed and was informed there was a major coolant leak. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and the contact was informed to call the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 125,000.

The contact owns a 2009 Lincoln MKX. The contact received a notification for NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V158000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The dealer was notified of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The manufacturer had been notified of the issue. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Car frequently failed to stop timely when brakes were pressed. A HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT was advised and BRAKE BOOSTER to be installed.

The contact owns a 2009 Lincoln MKX. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH and depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle failed to stop immediately. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The contact stated she continued to pump on the brake pedal until the vehicle began to decelerate. The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired but was pending repairs. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 162,000.

I'VE REPLACED A STARTER / ALTERNATOR/ BATTERY/ COIL PACKS/ TUNE UP/AND MY TRUCK IS STILL HAVING PROBLEMS WITH STAYING STARTED..I HAVE TO PUSH THE GAS IN PARK BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE IT WILL SHUT OFF.

Automatic transmission is slipping badly. Results in temporary loss of power & speed. Taking my foot off the gas pedal, for two-to-three seconds, seems to remedy the situation. It's quite scary losing control of the vehicle during that period. Below, I am identifying an "approximate date"; however, this issue has been ongoing for quite some time - At least one, perhaps two, years. A mechanic's remedy may be checking the transmission fluid, or having the fluid replaced. I ensure I keep the fluid at its' proper level and I'm not replacing the fluid. I don't believe any transmission fluid ever needs draining and replacing - I think that's a scam when it's suggested!

ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE REPAIR SHOP SAYS THE ABS MODULE HAS FAILED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.

I HAVE TO CHANGE THE BREAKS & ROTORS TWICE IN 2 YEARS. MY MECHANIC SAYS IT IS THE 'BREAK BOOSTER'. HE STATED THAT THEIR MIGHT BE A RECALL. THE VEHICLE IS HAVING ISSUES STOPPING. I AM AFRAID THE WILL GO OUT AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE BREAKS MAKE A RELEASED AIR SOUND AND IT IS HARD TO MAKE A COMPLETE STOP. SO I STOPPED DRIVING IT.

BRAKES INTERMITTENTLY DON'T GRAB SOMETIMES AND SOMETIME THEY GRIND WHEN APPLIED. I HAVE HAD THEM WORKED ON MULTIPLE TIMES AND I'VE HAD MECHANICS TO TELL ME THAT THERE'S SOME PROBLEM IN THE CONTROL UNIT THAT'S CAUSING THIS. I'VE HAD EVERYTHING REPLACED AND IT STILL HAPPENS.

I HEAR A HISSING NOISE WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE BRAKES FEEL SPONGY AND NOT VERY RESPONSIVE. GARAGE HAVE DIAGNOSED A LEAKING BRAKE BOOSTER. LINCOL RECALL 13N02 EXACTLY FITS THIS FAULT BUT IS ONLY BEING APPLIED TO 2010 - 2013 MODELS, MINE IS 2009. THIS RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO COVER 2009 MODELS TOO.

THE PTU (POWER TRANSFER UNIT) IS CAUSING ENGINE LIGHT TO FLASH AND LOSS OF POWER WHEN ACCELERATING. TRANSMISSION SPUTTERS AND SEEMS TO BUCK AS IF NOT FINDING THE GEAR (ALMOST ALWAYS AROUND 2ND GEAR).

SUBJECT : GETTING A RAW DEAL ! JUST BOUGHT 2009 LINCOLN MKX. PROBLEMS ARE SURMOUNTING QUICKLY. FUMES IN CABIN RECALL IS CONNECTED TO TRANSMISSION FAILURE IN FORDS, LINCOLNS, MAZDA YEARS 2007 - 2013 APPROXIMATELY AS REPORTED. THE FUEL PUMP FAILS AND IS NOT EASILY REPLACEABLE. FORD IS AT FAULT FOR POORLY DESIGNING A $200 PART BEHIND A "TIMING CHAIN" WHICH REQUIRES REMOVAL BEFORE YOU CAN REACH THE FUEL PUMP TO REPLACE - COSTING THE CUSTOMER EXORBITANT AMOUNT OF MONEY TO REPAIR.

BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM LEAKS CAUSING BRAKES TO SQUEAL AND HISS THUS RENDERING VEHICLE UNSAFE STOP.. THE RECALL STARTS ON 2010 MODELS BUT THE RECALL SHOULD HAVE STARTED ON THE 2009S. I HAD TO REPLACE IT AND IT COST 700. NOW MY VEHICLE IS MECHANICALLY SOUND.

AS REPORTED IN FORBES MAGAZINE ON APRIL 24, 2018 THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING BRAKE FAILURES WITH LINCOLN MKZ 2006-2012 MODEL YEARS AFFECTING ONE MILLION SEDANS. THE LINCOLN MKX MODEL (CROSSOVER) I BELIEVE TO BE AFFECTED AS WELL. IN MY CASE, WHAT HAPPENED IS THAT THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM HAS FAILED ON MANY OCCASIONS WHILE I WAS OPERATING THE VEHICLE WITH MY FAMILY INSIDE RESULTING IN SEVERAL NEAR REAR END COLLISIONS. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE ON THE 2009 LINCOLN MKX MODEL AS THE ABS COMPONENT IS ON BACKORDER AND A WAIT OF OVER 3 WEEKS IS REQUIRED. THIS IS A MONUMENTAL SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION OPENED IMMEDIATELY AND A RECALL ISSUED ON THESE VEHICLES.

"TAKATA RECALL" - AFTER ALMOST 2 YEARS, MY AUTO DEALER SAYS THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REPAIR/REPLACE AND PERFORM THE RECALL. IS THIS NOT A EXCESSIVE TIME TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM? THEY ALSO TELL ME THAT I AM NOT ENTITLED TO A RENTAL OR REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. AM I AND MY PASSENGER AT RISK OF PHYSICAL HARM DUE TO THIS DEFECT?

TAKATA RECALL - TO DATE THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. WE ARE IN DANGER BY NOT BEING ABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. SOME SORT OF REPAIR SHOULD BE AVAILABLE INSTEAD OF HAVING TO WAIT ON PARTS.

NO CALLS FROM THE COMPANY. I HAVE CALLED NUMEROUS TIMES DURING THE LAST SIX MONTHS, STILL PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. LINCOLN SENT AN UPDATE IN MAY 2018 THAT WE COULD RENT A VEHICLE UP TO $45 PER DAY. I DO NOT WANT TO RENT A VEHICLE, ESPECIALLY FOR AN UNKNOWN AMOUNT OF MONTHS. I HAVE FINISHED PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT COULD HAVE KILLED MY FAMILY. WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN?

MY 2009 MKX HAS SCARED THE HECK OUT OF US AS WE THOUGHT A BOMB HAD GONE OFF, FOLLOWED BY THE HIGH-PITCHED WHINE WHICH ONLY STOPPED AFTER WE TURNED THE CAR OFF AND OPEN A DOOR FOR IT TO RESET ITSELF. WE WERE DRIVING WITH KIDS IN THE BACK ASLEEP,, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WENT OFF AND WE COULDN'T STAND IT. TURNING THE RADIO OFF DIDN'T HELP, TURNING THE AC OFF DIDN'T HELP EITHER. WE WERE FORCED TO PULLED OVER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. SINCE THEN I CAN NOT TRUST MY CAR WON'T GO OFF AND CAUSE ME TO HIT ANOTHER CAR OR GOD FORBID SOMETHING ELSE. IT USUALLY HAPPENS IN THE HOTTER MONTHS FOR THE LAST 3 - 4 YEARS. I'VE TRIED TO FIND CORRELATION TO SOMETHING, AND ALL I CAN THINK OFF IS THE HEAT CAUSING IT TO GO OFF.

8/31/22 While I am driving, at 25 miles per hour in my neighborhood, or 45 mph through town, or 65 mph on the freeway, without any warning there occasionally will be an EXTREMELY LOUD BANG!! I actually duck down and cover my head for fear a huge rock has come through the windshield. Or a double-barreled shotgun was aimed at my car, or a major jetliner had fallen out of the sky and landed on my roof. Only to look up and see no damage whatsoever, but the shrill, high pitched ring piercing my ears. The radio won't respond, the gps won't respond, the heater or AC won't respond. The sound continues for as long as it takes to get to my destination. When I return to my car the next time, EVERYTHING WORKS FINE, and no high pitched ring. I have seen others' notes on this topic say it is the radio/speakers. This BANG occurs for me even when I am NOT using the radio or media. However, my cell phone auto connects each time I turn on the engine. I will today 8/31/22 disconnect my cell phone and see if the bluetooth makes this terrible connection. I see no evidence that anyone has found a repair for this. Also, other notes have stated they think this is related to temperatures above 73 F degrees. I have experienced this BANG at all temperatures. The latest time it occurred while I was in the middle of a left hand turn through a busy intersection with off-work traffic in all lanes, I almost went into the ditch!! No, there are no warning lights or sounds before this happens. No, I have not been able to reproduce this sound at will. YES, THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY PROBLEM. IF THE DRIVER'S HEAD IS DUCKING DOWN DURING THE BANG, WHO'S STEERING THE CAR? Please, someone, is there a fix?

TAKATA RECALL - WE WERE NOTIFIED MORE THAN 9 MONTHS AGO ABOUT THIS RECALL AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN THE PARTS TO REPLACE THIS. HOW SAFE ARE THESE AIRBAGS? WHY ARE THE CAR MANUFACTURERS STILL NOT REPLACING THEM? WE HAVE BEEN PATIENT BUT IF THIS IS A TRUE SAFETY ISSUE- HOW ARE THEY GETTING AWAY WITH NOT CORRECTING IT?

SYNC RADIO. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, WITHOUT WARNING, THE RADIO WILL SUDDENLY EMIT AN EXTREMELY LOUD EXPLOSION NOISE, ENOUGH TO STARTLE YOU TO JERK THE WHEEL AND LEAVING YOUR EARS RINGING. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO US THREE TIMES SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE. ONCE ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY AND TWICE ON THE FREEWAY. AT ALL TIMES WAS THE VEHICLE BEING DRIVEN IN A STRAIGHT LINE. RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS MANY COMPLAINTS AS THIS APPEARS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE SYNC RADIO AND LINCOLN HAS NO RESOLUTION. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. *TR

TAKATA RECALL

TAKATA RECALL. HAVE TRIED TO GET LINCOLN DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG AND THEY SAID NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO THEM. I WANT TO SELL OR TRADE MY VEHICLE AND CAN NOT DUE TO POSSIBLE INJURY TO A PERSON. HOW DO I GET THE AIR BAG REPLACED SO I CAN MOVE ON WITH MY LIFE AND NOT GET SUED IF I SELL THE VEHICLE? IT HAS BEEN YEARS SINCE I WAS NOTIFIED I HAD A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE.
