I am reporting a serious mechanical defect in my 2008 Lincoln MKX involving the internal water pump. This vehicle uses the Ford 3.5L V6 Cyclone engine, where the water pump is mounted inside the engine and driven by the timing chain. My water pump failed unexpectedly, causing coolant to leak into the engine oil. This design flaw poses a serious safety risk due to potential engine failure while driving. This could lead to the engine seizing without warning, loss of power steering and braking, and increased risk of a crash. Ford and Lincoln are aware of this issue, and many owners have reported similar failures, but no recall has been issued. Repairs cost thousands of dollars and often require full engine replacement. This is a known design defect that puts drivers and passengers in danger. I urge NHTSA to investigate and mandate a recall before someone is seriously injured or worse. This failure is unpredictable, dangerous, and affects many vehicles using this engine platform

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVE LETTER AFTER LETTER TELLING MY AIRBAG CAN CAUSE MY DEATH BUT YEARS LATER THE PARTS STILL HAVEN'T ARRIVED. THIS SEEMS UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO DISABLE THE AIRBAG BUT THEY CANNOT. HOW MANY PEOPLE SHOULD DIE WAITING FOR PARTS?

TAKATA INFLATORS RECALL CONTINUED DELAYS... DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. LINCOLN SAYS THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN REPLACEMENT AIRBAG WILL BE AVAILABLE! NOT ACCEPTABLE. NEED NHTSA INVOLVEMENT TO RESOLVE THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!

TOOK CAR IN FOR SERVICE BECAUSE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND BRAKES WOULD SCRUB WHEN STOPPING. DEALER REPLACED WHEEL SENSOR AND TOLD US THAT BRAKE BOOSTER WAS BAD, SO WE AGREED TO REPLACEMENT. AFTER REPAIRS, WITH NEW BRAKE BOOSTER THE BRAKES SOMETIMES ARE REAL HARD TO PUSH AND DO NOT STOP THE CAR CORRECTLY. VERY UNSAFE CONDITION. IT SEEMS TO BE RE-OCCURRING AND SHORT-LIVED WHEN IT HAPPENS, BUT WHO KNOWS WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN AT THE WRONG TIME. DEALER ALSO SUGGESTED NEW PADS WHICH HAD JUST BEEN REPLACED???
