2016 Lincoln MKX Engine Problems

The contact owns a 2016 Lincoln MKX. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle lost automotive power. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The message "Coolant Overheated" was displayed on the digital display screen. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to restart as intended. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed with an air intake valve fracture and abnormal engine oil consumption. The vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V635000 (Engine and Engine Cooling); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 54,000.

I have an oil consumption issue. There is a technical service Bulletin# 19-2243 indicating this is a known problem with my SUV. My Lincoln Protection Plan and Lincoln Corporate refuse to assist in replacing the engine.

Engine shutoff suddenly while driving, mainly on freeways & roads that have long downhills, while foot is off the gas pedal. But it happens on flat roads also. The stability control lights comes on, & I have to pull over with residual speed put suv in park, turn engine button off & wait for seat to return to neutral position then restart. This had happened at least 12 times & mostly in dry conditions while driving straight with no lane changes. Dealer could not duplicate & find the problem, visited them 4 times so far. Otherwise it will not start the engine.

The contact owns a 2016 Lincoln MKX. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact stated complete failure warning message was displayed. The contact was able to pull over and restart the vehicle and functionality was returned. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer but was not diagnosed. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 43,700.

I HAVE NOTICED EXHAUST FUMES IN THE CABIN WHEN DRIVING. I DRIVE BOTH HIGHWAY AND CITY, BUT IT IS WORSE ON THE HIGHWAY. I STARTED FEELING TIRES AND FOGGY HEADED EVERY TIME I DROVE. I TRIED RECYCLING AIR AND OPEN AIR BOTH BUT DIDN'T SEEM TO HELP. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR OIL CHANGE AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM. SERVICE CONCIERGE SAID THEY HAD ANOTHER 2016 MKX IN AT THAT TIME WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THEY COULDN'T LOOK AT MY VEHICLE FOR OVER TWO WEEKS AND WOULDN'T HAVE A LOANER CAR UNTIL THEN. I TOLD THEM I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING WITH THE PROBLEM AND WAS OFFERED TWO OPTIONS... LEAVE IT THERE UNTIL THEY COULD LOOK AT IT, WITH NO LOANER CAR, OR FOR TIMES SAKE TAKE IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND A LIABILITY IN MY OPINION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 LINCOLN MKX. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, SMOKE APPEARED UNDER THE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A COOLANT LEAK UNDERNEATH THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, AND THE RADIATOR AND RESERVOIR CONTAINERS WERE EMPTY. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000.

WE JUST DESCRIBED THIS DANGEROUS, 5 TIMES MALFUNCTION IN A PREVIOUS NOTICE, TODAY. MY ADDRESS IS LISTED SLIGHTLY INCORRECT AND THE 1ST MALFUNCTION WAS OCT 7, 2017, NOT THE 2016, I SEE THAT WAS LISTED. IT WAS PURCHASED IN 2016. THE SPEEDS WERE DIFFERENT. 70 TWICE, 55 TWICE AND 50 ONCE. THE 70'S WERE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON HWY 80 AROUND CHICAGO. *TR

2016 LINCOLN MKX - UNDER HARD ACCELERATION, I AM GETTING EXHAUST FUMES AND ALSO ROTTEN EGG SMELL COMING INTO THE INTERIOR WITH A.C. ON AND IN RECIRCULATE MODE WITH WINDOWS UP. MY SUV ONLY HAS 27,000 MILES ON IT. I SHOULD NOT BE GETTING EXHAUST FUMES OF ANY KIND INSIDE OF MY SUV. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE EXHAUST FUMES INSIDE OF A SUV ARE DANGEROUS.

VEHICLE IN MOTION LOSES ACCELERATION SUDDENLY WHILE DRIVING. THIS LOSS LEAVES YOU IN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN ON AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY OR ANY TRAFFIC SITUATION. DATE OF 07/12/17 ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY.DATE OF 06/27/17 INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. 05/19 /17 VEHICLE IN MOTION ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. PROBLEM BEGAN WHEN VEHICLE REACHED 7,000 MILES. WAS INITIALLY TOLD BY ONE DEALER SERVICE TO PULL OVER AND TURN OFF VEHICLE WAIT THEN RESTART. NEVER WAS RECALLED BY LINCOLN MOTOR IN SPITE OF NUMEROUS REPORTS BY OWNERS ON CARCOMPLAINTS WEBSITE. WHEN I CONTACTED LINCOLN I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE NTSB TO ISSUE A RECALL. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER WHO MADE THE REPAIR THERE IS A RECALL BULLETIN ON THIS ISSUE TO THE DEALERS . NO RECALL NOTICES WERE EVER SENT TO OWNERS AS 07/29/2017

ENGINE HAS STALLED TWICE WHILE IN OPERATION. FIRST TIME WHILE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE,SECOND TIME WHILE DRIVING FORWARD IN TRAFFIC ON THE HIGHWAY. IN BOTH INSTANCES HAD TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, PLACE VEHICLE INTO PARK, SHUT OFF THE IGNITION AND THEN RESTART. BOTH INSTANCES VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. SECOND INSTANCE WAS IN MOVING TRAFFIC AND HAD TO PULL ONTO THE ROAD SHOULDER OUT OF TRAFFIC IN ORDER TO STOP AS VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART WHILE IN MOTION. DEALER CHECKED AND FOUND NO CODES STORED IN THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER, THUS NO ACTION TAKEN TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY 2016 MKX, PURCHASED IN JUNE OF 2016. THE EXHAUST SYSTEM HAS BEEN LEAKING INTO THE CABIN. I ACTUALLY TOOK THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE, BUT THE CAR DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE. THEY CLEANED UNDERNEATH THE EXHAUST LINES AND IT HAS IMPROVED. THE VEHICLE IS USUALLY IN MOTION, I LIVE IN AN AREA WITH HILLS USUALLY AFTER CLIMBING UP A HILL OF A CITY STREET. I HAVE NOTICED THE SMELL LINGERING EVEN AFTER I'VE BEEN OUT OF THE CAR. I'VE SEEN ON OTHER SITES WHERE OTHER LINCOLN OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED AS WELL. I'M POSTING THIS MESSAGE AS I BELIEVE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM ISSUE FOR FORD IS BEYOND JUST THE FORD LINE AND ALSO LINCOLN.

THE MOTOR HAS TOTALLY GONE DEAD IN HEAVY TRAFFIC 5 TIMES. THE 1ST 3 TIMES THEY SHOWED UP ON THE INSPECTION AND A PART WAS REPLACED. AN INSPECTION THE LAST 2 TIMES SHOWED NOTHING. WHEN THE ENGINE STOPS, I PRESS N, THEN START AND IT RUNS, THEN D AND IT GOES AGAIN. MEANWHILE, TWICE ON HWY 80 AROUND CHICAGO IN BUMPER-TO-BUMPER TRAFFIC AT 70 MPH, CARS ARE SLAMMING ON THEIR BRAKES AND HONKING. 1. WHAT ACTION BEYOND THE DEALER NEED I TAKE? 2. MY INSURANCE WILL NOT COVER A MULTI-CAR ACCIDENT FROM A DEFECTIVE CAR UNDER WARRANTY. WHO DOES? 3. IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT CORRECTED HOW DO I GET A NEW ONE FROM LINCOLN? IT IS A GREAT CAR WITH ABOUT 33,000 MILES. I PREFER KEEPING IT. MY DAUGHTER SAID WHEN IT HAPPENED TO HER, SHE HAD JUST TURNED ON THE RADIO. PERHAPS IT IS AN ELECTRICAL OR COMPUTER DEFECT. TO MY KNOWLEDGE, THE DEALERSHIP HAS TAKEN NO ACTION TO CONTACT LINCOLN HEADQUAQRTERS. IT HAPPENED 3 TIMES OVER A 2 DAY PERIOD IN OCT. 2017, (REPAIRED) ONCE IN OCT. 2018 AND ONCE IN MAY 2019.

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE ALMOST KILLED IN THE FAST LANE ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN OUR 2016 LINCOLN MKX SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY, WE HAD TO CROSS THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC WHEN IT STARTED AGAIN ONLY TO SHUT DOWN AGAIN, WE WERE TERRIFIED, IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE A RECALL WAS JUST ISSUED ON IT CALLED "THROTTLE BODY REPAIR" I ASKED THE SERVICE MANAGER TO REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE PART , NOT REPAIR IT AND HE DID SO. OUR SERVICE MANAGER WAS PROACTIVE IN THIS AND I PRAY TO GOD WE NEVER EXPERIENCE THIS TYPE OF SITUATION AGAIN. !

LOST POWER WHILE IN MOTION ON CITY STREET, BEGAN RUNNING ROUGH. 'POWERTRAIN' INDICATOR (WRENCH) LIT ON DASH. LIMPED CAR TO PARKING LOT. CALLED SELLING DEALER. CAR TOWED TO DEALER. DEALER REPLACED AIR INTAKE THROTTLE BODY ON WARRENTY. MILEAGE ON CAR 4052. PRODUCTION DATE ON CAR IS 07DEC15, 3.7L V6 ENGINE.

SUDDEN LACK OF THROTTLE CONTROL. THREE TIMES DURING OUR TRIP THE PAST TWO WEEKS FROM FLORIDA TO MARYLAND AND BACK, GOING 75 MPH ON INTERSTATE 95, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY DROPPED TO 1000 RPM AND ALL THROTTLE CONTROL WAS LOST. MY WIFE NEARLY HAD AN ACCIDENT TRYING QUICKLY TO GET TO THE SHOULDER. I WAS NEARLY RE-ENDED BY AN ESCALADE AS MY VEHICLE SO QUICKLY DECELERATED. TWO TIMES A WRENCH APPEARED AND A DRIVER AIRBAG WARNING. THE THIRD TIME WE GOT THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT. EACH TIME I WAS ABLE TO SHUT DOWN THE CAR AND RESTART IT, BUT I DECIDED TO INTERRUPT OUR TRIP AND SEEK HELP AT THE NEAREST LINCOLN DEALER. THIS WAS ON MONDAY, JULY 25. THE DEALER WAS LAFAYETTE IN FAYETTEVILLE, NC, A LINCOLN/FORD DEALERSHIP. [XXX], THE SERVICE ADVISOR, AND [XXX] (LAST NAME ?), THE SERVICE MANAGER I BELIEVE, IMMEDIATELY CAME TO OUR AID. [XXX] DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM WITH A DIAGNOSTIC TOOL, WHILE [XXX] WORKED US INTO THEIR BUSY SCHEDULE. THE FAILURE WAS THE THROTTLE BODY WHICH [XXX] SAID IS AN ALL TOO COMMON RECENT PROBLEM ON OUR V-6 ENGINE USED IN FORDS AND LINCOLNS. THEIR SERVICE AND PROFESSIONALISM WAS EXTREMELY APPRECIATED AND THEY HAD US BACK ON THE ROAD IN A LITTLE OVER TWO HOURS. I SENT THEM A THANK YOU IN THEIR SURVEY REQUEST. WE MET ANOTHER COUPLE AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT SUFFERED THE SAME PROBLEM, ONLY THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO RESTART IT AND HAD TO BE TOWED OFF I 95 TO THE DEALERSHIP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
