2008 Lincoln MKX complaints

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM LOUISIANA OMV ABOUT AIRBAG RECALLS IN AUGUST 2018. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THIS FIXED. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT IN STOCK AND THAT THERE ARE THREE OTHER RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE AS WELL. OVER THE PAST MONTH THEY HAVE CONTINUED TO STATE THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT IN. NOW THAT A MAN TOOK THE VEHICLE ALL OF SUDDEN THEY RECEIVED THE PARTS IN THREE DAYS. HOWEVER, NOW THEY ARE STATING THAT THEY ARE ONLY REPLACING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND NOT ALL AIRBAGS AS REPORTED ON THE RECALL FROM LA OMV. WHAT SHOULD I DO? MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS VEHICLE AND TRAVELS FOR SCHOOL I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT EXACTLY THEY SHOULD BE REPLACING. IF ALL AIRBAGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO SHRAPNEL TWO MONTHS AGO HOW IS IT NOW ONLY ONE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED?

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 LINCOLN MKX. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V384000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

ABOUT A MONTH AGO, WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE MY ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL PANEL LIGHTS LIT UP WITH SEEMINGLY NO INSTIGATOR, THEY STAYED ON UNTIL I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE THEN WENT AWAY. FROM THEN ON THEY WOULD INTERMITTENTLY POP ON WHICH I EVENTUALLY DISCOVERED WAS MOSTLY ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS GOING OVER 60MPH. ABOUT A WEEK AFTER THE LIGHTS STARTED COMING ON, I NOTICED OCCASIONALLY WHEN I WOULD TRY TO STOP MY VEHICLE THE BRAKES WOULD LOCK UP AS IF I WAS DRIVING ON ICE. I WOULD HAVE TO PUMP MY BRAKES MULTIPLE TIMES TO GET THEM TO ENGAGE WHICH IS VERY NERVE WRECKING. THAT PARTICULAR ISSUE HAS HAPPENED A 2-3 TIMES A WEEK SINCE THEN. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE IN AND HAD THE SEAL REPLACED WHICH DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE AND NOW I'M BEING TOLD THAT THIS IS SUCH A COMMON ISSUE AMONG LINCOLN MKX'S, FORD EDGES, AND FORD FUSIONS THAT THEY HAVE "UPDATED" AXLES THAT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. I AM GETTING THESE NEW AXLES TO HOPEFULLY FIX THIS ISSUE BUT THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN THAT HAS MADE ME NERVOUS TO EVEN PUT MY SON IN THE CAR.

I HAVE RECEIVED 2 LETTERS ABOUT AIR BAG RECALL, I HAVE REPEATEDLY CALLED VAUGH FORD IN OAKDALE LOUISIANA TO HAVE MY AIRBAGS REPLACED. I AM TOLD THEY CAN NOT GET THE PLACEMENT AIRBAGS. I CALL EVERY MONTH AND RECEIVE NO SATISFACTION, I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE DMV OF LOUISIANA ABOUT REPLACEMENT OF AIRBAGS. CAN YOU ASSIST?

OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, WHILE DRIVING, ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE STAYS ON, THE VEHICLE SIMPLY LOSES TRANSMISSION POWER AND LEAVE ME STRANDED AND IN DANGER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS HAS PUT BOTH MY WIFE AND IN ME IN PRECARIOUS SITUATIONS WHEN THE CAR HAS ABRUPTLY STALLED IN TRAFFIC AND WE HAVE TO ROLL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENS 2 OR 3 TIMES A YEAR. BOTH IN THE CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAY. AS LONG AS I SLIGHTLY OVER FILL THE TRANSMISSION WITH FLUID, IT WILL DRIVE FINE FOR ANOTHER 3 OR 4 MONTHS WITH NO ISSUES. THE PROBLEM IS THAT I CAN NOT FIND ANY TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKAGE AND HAVE TO OVERFILL THE TRANSMISSION TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. WHEN I CONTACTED LINCOLN ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM, I WAS FINALLY TOLD THAT THERE HAD BEEN A VOLUNTARY SAFETY ALERT THAT EXTENDED THE MANUFACTURERS 6 YEAR WARRANTY TO 8 YEARS. BUT, SINCE I NOTIFIED THEM ONE MONTH AFTER THE 8 YEARS HAD EXPIRED, THEY WOULD NOT RESOLVE THE TRANSMISSION SAFETY ISSUE UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I WROTE A DISPUTE LETTER TO LINCOLN, ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION SAFETY ISSUE AND TOLD THEM THAT THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 60,000 MILES ON IT AND THAT I WAS NOT TIMELY NOTIFIED ABOUT THE VOLUNTARY SAFETY ALERT, THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE MILEAGE DID NOT MATTER. THEY ALSO DID NOT CARE WHEN I TOLD THEM THAT I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER AND OWNED SEVERAL LINCOLNS (AND MERCURYS) OVER THE YEARS. I AM RETIRED, AND AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR ANY DISTANCE AT ALL. WITH THE TWO YEAR OLD AIR BAG RECALL, WE WERE ADVISED THAT MY WIFE

I ALSO LIKE SO MANY OTHERS RECEIVED THE 'TAKATA RECALL' AND CONTACTED MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP WHO ACTED AS IF I WAS SOME CONFUSED OR DELUSIONAL PERSON, AND INFORMED ME THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF ANY SUCH RECALL!! SO I CALLED THE ONLY OTHER FORD DEALERSHIP I KNEW AND THEY EXPLAINED 'OH YEAH, WE HAVE HEARD OF IT, BUT WE HAVE NO PARTS OR AUTHORIZATION NUMBERS TO FIX IT WITH YET' WELL MY HUSBAND HAS TO SIT IN THAT PASSENGER'S SEAT AS I DRIVE HIM TO THE HOSPITAL ; FOR CANCER SURGERY AT THE END OF THIS MONTH! SO COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME WHEN THE NHTSA IS GOING TO MAKE FORD MOTOR CORPORATION DO WHAT IS RIGHT? PLEASE.??? NO MORE GRANTED SECRETLY MAILINGS FOR FORD OR TAKATA. PLEASE HELP US!! I MEAN NO DISRESPECT WHATSOEVER TO ANYONE BUT PLEASE DON'T LET ANY OF THEM KEEP IGNORING US. PLEASE I DON'T WANT MY HUSBAND TO FIGHT CANCER ONLY TO LOSE HIS LIFE TO A FAULTY AIR-BAG THAT WAS IN MY CAR!!!! PLEASE

TAKATA RECALL ALTHOUGH, I HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, WILL THERE BE A SOLUTION SOON. OR WILL I HAVE TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT FOR THERE TO BE A RESOLVE. IS THERE ANY UPDATES. I'VE NEVER BEEN THROUGH THIS.

I JUST PURCHASED A 2008 LINCOLN MKX IN MARCH. THE CAR RAN GREAT UNTIL I WENT ON A ROAD TRIP IN THE BEGINNING OF JULY. I DROVE ABOUT A COUPLE 1000 MILES. MY LAST DAY OF MY TRIP ON JULY 12 MY CAR STARTED ACTING UP. IT HAD A HARD TIME SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS. I WOULD PUSH DOWN ON THE GAS PEDDLE AND IT TOOK IT A LONG TIME TO ACCELERATE. I FINALLY MADE IT TO MY DESTINATION. I TURNED OFF THE CAR. WHEN I WENT TO START IT BACK UP IT STARTED. BUT WHEN I OUT IT IN DRIVE IT WOULDN'T MOVE, NOR IN REVERSE AND COULD NOT GET IT IN TO NEUTRAL. HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP. WHERE AFTER FURTHER EXAMINATION TO TRANSFER CASE WENT OUT INT TURN RUINED THE TRANSMISSION. NEVER A SIGN THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG UNTIL THAT JULY 13. I TALK TO THE SHOP THAT SAYS HE HAS FIXED 3 OTHER LINCOLNS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IF YOU LOOK ONLINE THERE ARE TONS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. SEEMS TO ME FORD NEEDS TO RECALL BOTH THE TRANSFER CASE AND TRANSMISSION. NOW I AM HAVING TO PUT MORE MONEY IN IT THEN ITS WORTH. THE TOTAL COST FOR REPAIR AND LABOR IS $6296.22. IF IT KEEPS HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE OVER AND OVER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THEN FORD SHOULD HAVE TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR SELLING DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. I HOPE SOMETHING CAN BE DONE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS AS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE DRIVER BUT THE MANUFACTURER WHO HAS MADE A FAULTY PRODUCT.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE BEEN BATTLING FORD AND ITS DEALERSHIPS TO GET ME A LOANER VEHICLE WHILE OUR FAMILY MKX IS PENDING RECALL. I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR 7 MONTHS. I HAVE NOW FILED A BBB COMPLAINT AND GOING THROUGH THAT PROCESS, FILED COMPLAINT WITH OREGON DOJ, AND NOW WITH NHTSA. WE NEED THIS RECTIFIED ASAP.

TAKATA RECALL - YOU GUYS NEED TO GET OFF YOUR ASSES AND GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED. I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR 2 YEARS TO GET FIXED. RECALL SAYS MY PASSENGER MAY SUFFER DEATH? HOW CAN YOU LET THIS GO ON AND KILL OTHER AMERICANS? PLEASE DO YOUR JOB!!

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING BRAKING ISSUES. I HAVE BROUGHT MY MKX TO A DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT I NEED A NEW BRAKE BOOSTER. THEY HAVE INFORMED ME THAT FORD IS AWARE OF THIS DESIGN ISSUE. IS THIS COVERED UNDER ANY TYPE OF RECALL SINCE THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE?

TAKATA RECALL FAILING REPAIR SERVICE FROM LINCOLN/FORD IN REPLACING THE TAKATA AIRBAGS IN OUR VEHICLE. WE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE 1.5 YEARS AGO. WE FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS IN THE NOTICE LETTER & CALLED A LOCAL LINCOLN DEALER, NORTH PARK LINCOLN IN SAN ANTONIO, TX. EACH TIME WE CALLED THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART. NO ONE TOLD US ABOUT THE HIGH RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY RELATED TO THE AIRBAGS. MAY OF 2018 WE GET A LETTER FROM LINCOLN/FORD SAYING THEY HAVE NO PARTS, BUT LINCOLN/FORD WILL PAY FOR A RENTAL CAR UNTIL PARTS COME IN. WE WONDER WHY THEY WOULD PAY FOR RENTALS & FIND OUT THE AIRBAGS ARE TAKATA AIRBAGS THAT OFTEN EXPLODE AND KILL PEOPLE. WE CONTACT NORTH PARK LINCOLN WHO SAYS THEY HAVE NO PARTS & WILL NOT PROVIDE A RENTAL THEY GET PARTS. WE PAY FOR OUR OWN RENTAL TO AVOID THE RISK OF DEATH. MY COMPLAINT IS I DO NOT WANT LINCOLN/FORD TO BENEFIT IN ANY NHTSA INVESTIGATION BY SHOWING THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCY HOW THEY "OFFERED" TO PROVIDE RENTAL VEHICLES TO PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT THEIR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THE DANGEROUS AIRBAG SYSTEMS. LINCOLN/FORD DID SEND A LETTER OFFERING TO PROVIDE RENTALS TO PEOPLE WHO WERE IN NEED OF A SAFETY RECALL REPAIR TO REPLACE THE TAKATA AIRBAGS IN THEIR VEHICLES. HOWEVER, ONCE THE PERSON SHOWS UP AT THE DEALERSHIP ASKING FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE THE PERSONNEL AT THE DEALERSHIP REFUSE TO FIX THE VEHICLE BECAUSE "THEY HAVE NO PARTS", AND ALSO REFUSE TO HONOR THE MAY 2018 LETTER TERMS BY PROVIDING A RENTAL VEHICLE AS PROMISED. INSTEAD THEY ARE TELLING PEO

TAKATA RECALL: THERE HAS BEEN A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE AIR BAG IN MY CAR SINCE 2016. I HAVE RECEIVED NOTICES THAT A REPLACEMENT WILL BE AVAILABLE IN SPRING 2018 AND THAT NO-ONE CAN RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT FOR SAFETY REASONS. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALER A COUPLE OF TIMES AND THEY HAVE STATED THAT THE PART IS NOT IN.

TAKATA RECALL. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 2 YEARS AND I AM STILL WAITING ON THIS. WILL THERE BE ANY COMPENSATION FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO DRIVE PASSENGERS UNLESS THEY SIT IN THE BACK? NOT SATISFIED WITH LINCOLN AND DEALERSHIP RESPONSE. IF THEY HAD TO PROVIDE LOANERS TO ALL OF US I WOULD BET THAT THE PARTS AND INSTALLATION WOULD HAVE BEEN EXPEDITED. WHAT WILL BE DONE TO RECTIFY THIS AND PREVENT SUCH LONG-TERM INCONVENIENCES IN THE FUTURE?

IN JULY 2016 I RECEIVED AN ***IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL*** NOTICE. IT WAS LABELED AS SAFETY RECALL 16S26/ NHTSA RECALL 16V-384 FOR OUR 2008 LINCOLN MKX.
