2013 Lincoln MKX Speed Control & Cruise Problems

While driving on Sept 22 2023 I hit a pothole and immediately felt a change in the pressure in the gas pedal, upon braking I noticed a loss of pressure in the brake system. Vehicle was slow to respond to applicsation of brake pedal to where I had to move my seaty forward so that I could depress the pedal to the floor ( im 4'10" and could not apply the brake to the degree needed to stop my vehicle from the seat position I usually drive in). When pressing the brake pedal it felt as if it wanted to engage the ABS system but was not doing so and I would have to press the pedal to the floor which then would bring me to a jolting stop. I don't know how to explain it but there was also a differnce in the feeling of pressure when pushing on the gas pedal so whatever happened affected pressure in both the fuel and brake syatem foot pedals. I have not had the vehicle inspected as of writing this, nor have I reported it to Police as I did not experience a collisionbeing that it happened a short distance from my house abnd the vehicle has not been driven since the issue began yesterday morning Sept 22 2023.

lOSS OF PRESSURE IN BRAKES AND FUEL FOOT PEDALS AFTER HITTING A POTHOLE. PRESSURE WAS SO LOW IN BRAKES I HAD TO PRESS BRAKE PEDAL TO FLOOR TO COME TO A JERKING STOP. IT FELT AS IF THERE WAS NO BRAKE AT ALL AS IT WAS SLOW TO BRAKE COMING TO AN ABRUPT STOP ONCE PEDAL FLOORED. I DO NOT HAVE DOCUMENTATION FROM SERVICE CENTER AS I HAVE NOT HAD IT LOOKED AT SINCE THE ISSUE HAPPENED YESTERDAY MORNING, AND I HAVE NO POLICE REPORT AT THIS TIME AS THERE WAS NO CRASH.

CAR WAS IN MOTION AT 65MPH ON A 4 LANE FREEWAY TRAVELING IN LANE 2 OR 3. IT MADE A LOUD THUD AND THE WRENCH ICON APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD. AT THE SAME TIME, THE GAS PEDAL NO LONGER PROVIDED ACCELERATION AND THE ONLY THING I COULD DO WAS COAST TO A STOP, WHILE MANEUVERING THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER. AFTER STOPPING I RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT FUNCTIONED PERFECTLY FINE. THE WRENCH LIGHT WAS NO LONGER ILLUMINATED. TWO MONTHS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE IN A FORWARD MOTION ON CITY STREETS...MADE A LOUD THUD, THE WRENCH ICON APPEARED. I WAS AT THE WEST SIDE OF A 4 LANE INTERSECTION AND BARELY HAD ENOUGH POWER TO COAST THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND PULL OVER ON THE EAST SIDE. AFTER SHUTTING THE CAR OFF, IT STARTED UP FINE AGAIN. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT NOW

MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING ON I 20 FORT WORTH TX, DRIVING 60MPH. IT HAPPEN AGAIN WHILE DRIVING OUR 2013 LINCOLN MKX STARTED TO SLOW DOWN,WE KEPT PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL BUT NOTHING HAPPEN. WE WERE ABLE TO MOVE OVER TO THE FAR RIGHT HAND LANE. THIS INCIDENT TOOK PLACE SEVERAL TIMES THIS DAY AND WITH OUR CHILDREN IN THE CAR! ONE OF THE INCIDENTS ALMOST CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, BUT CARS WERE ABLE TO DIVERT AROUND US. CRAZY THING IS THAT NO WARNING LIGHTS HAD CAME ON NOR ARE ANY ON AT THIS POINT. WE HAVE TRIED PRETTY MUCH FOR MOST OF THE DAY TO FIND SOME SORT OF ISSUE WITH OUR VEHICLE. HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH MOST OF LINCOLN MKX. NO WARNING OR ANYTHING, YOUR VEHICLE WILL START TO SLOW DOWN AUTOMATICALLY AT ANY MOMENT IN WHICH PUTS YOUR LIFE AND YOUR FAMILIES LIVES IN DANGER. YET AGAIN NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE. CONSUMER STATED I DO NOT KNOW EXACT MILEAGE AT INCIDENT, IT WAS ROUGHLY 4200. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST HAS BEEN STARTED AFTER OIL CHANGE. STICKER HAS BEEN PLACED ON WINDSHIELD FOR OIL CHANGE. SCHEDULED FOR 9286 MILES (5000 MILES OVER OIL CHANGE). VEHICLE WAS UNDER THE SERVICE MILEAGE WHEN THE STALL OCCURRED. NO WARNING LIGHTS OR NOISES BEFORE DURING OR AFTER EVENT. *JB

ON TUESDAY 10/3/2017 AROUND 5:35 PM WE WERE DRIVING THE 2013 MKX ON CALLAGHAN ROAD UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND STOPPED BEHIND ANOTHER CAR WAITING FOR THE ONE LANE TRAFFIC TO MOVE FORWARD WHEN THE MKX UNEXPECTEDLY REVVED UP AND LUNGED TOWARDS THE REAR OF THE CAR IN FRONT OF US. WE IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZED THIS AS SUA SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. THE DRIVER HAD TO APPLY ADDITIONAL PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES TO HOLD THE CAR BACK.

THIS HAS BEEN A CONTINUOUS ISSUE WHEN USING THE CRUISE CONTROL AT ANY SPEED. WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ON, AND THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING ON A DOWNHILL SLOPE, THERE IS A NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD WHILE IT IS TRYING TO MAINTAIN THE SPEED. THE SOUND IS SOMETHING LIKE A HUMMING/GRINDING/TICKING NOISE. I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE TECHNICIANS GO FOR A DRIVE WITH ME TO TRY DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE AND THEY HAVE ALL SAID THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE. HOWEVER, TO DATE, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT AND THE LAST TECHNICIAN SAID IT MUST BE A NORMAL NOISE, EVEN THOUGH NO OTHER LINCOLN I HAVE TEST DROVE CAN RECREATE THE NOISE.
