MY TRACTION CONTROL AND ADVANCED TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ARE ON AND I HAVE NO POWER STEERING. THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL ON THIS AND THE DEALER SAID NOT FOR MY VIN NUMBER. MY ELECTRIC POWER STEERING ISN'T WORKING
I WAS AT THE GAS STATION PUTTING GAS TO MY CAR WHEN I NOTICED FLAMES COMING FROM THE ENGINE THEN I TOLD THE PEOPLE AROUND THE STAFF OD THE GAS STATION SHUT OFF ALL THE GAS PUMPS AND HELP ME TO TRYIED TO USE EXTINGUISHERS TOEND THE FIRE UNTIL THE FIRE DEPARTNEN PEOPLE CAME. I DO NOT REALY KNOW WHAT HAPOENED BUT IWAS HAVING SOME ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND WAS SMOKING WHEN WE WERE DRIVING THE CAR. WE THOUGHT NEED ANTIFREEZE LIQUID AND PUT IT BUT STILL RUNNING WEIRD.
POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE NOW. FIRST INCIDENT WAS SEPTEMBER 29TH 2018, SECOND WAS TODAY AUGUST 23RD 2019. THERE WAS A RECALL PREVIOUSLY BUT ISN'T ONE FOR MY VIN NUMBER. VEHICLE FIRST TIME WAS IN MOTION ON CITY STREET, SECOND TIME WAS STATIONARY IN DRIVEWAY OF HOME.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 LINCOLN MKZ. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE DRIVING 50 MPH, THERE WAS A TWO VEHICLE COLLISION AND ALL THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTED TO STOP BUT IT CAUSED MULTIPLE COLLISIONS. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED HER BRAKE PEDAL HOWEVER SHE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BRUISES TO THE STOMACH FROM THE SEAT, HEAD, BOTH SHOULDERS, KNEES, CHEST AND BOTH ARM INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THE OTHER DRIVER WAS NOT INJURED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW LOT AND WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE VIN WAS PART OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V001000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. BUT DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.
AUG 2, MY HUSBAND & I WERE APPROACHING A 4-WAY LIGHT NEAR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. WE WERE SLOWING DOWN TO TURN RIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION. AS WE BEGAN THE TURN, THE TIRES LOCKED & OUR CAR SLIDE LEFT ACROSS LANES THAT RESULTED IN A CRASH. BOTH AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I WAS THROWN INTO THE WINDSHIELD, DESPITE MY SEAT-BELT, BUSTING IT. THEN, MY AIRBAG DEPLOYED. IT WAS LIKE MY HUSBAND HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. BOTH AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. TIRES WERE STILL LOCKED WHEN TOW-TRUCK ARRIVED. OTHER CAR INVOLVED DID NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE. WE DO NOT HAVE A HYBRID, BUT WONDER IF THE STEERING RECALL THAT STARTED WITH 2012 MKZ HYBRIDS & OTHERS COULD INVOLVE ADDITIONAL MODELS LIKE OURS (RECALL 15V340000). WHAT WE EXPERIENCED WAS NOT NORMAL.
DOOR LATCH WILL NOT KEEP DOOR LOCKED. DOOR SOMETIMES WILL NOT CLOSE UNLESS A PERSON PLAYS WITH THE LATCH TO MANIPULATE THE HOOKS TO GET DOOR TO CLOSE. HAS ONLY HAPPEN, SO FAR, WITH THE CAR STOPPED.
I RECEIVED A LETTER IN MARCH OF 2017 STATING THAT THERE WAS AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL REGARDING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IN MY CAR.

THIS LETTER CAME TWO YEARS AGO!!! I MADE AND DOCUMENTED THREE CALLS REGARDING THIS ISSUE TO NO AVAIL. TODAY I AGAIN CALLED LINCOLN COOPERATE AND WAS TRANSFERRED TO TASKA LINCOLN IN CRANSTON RI. I WAITED ON THE LINE FOR 17 MINUTES BUT HAD TO HANG UP BECAUSE MY LUNCH ENDED. THIS IS SO RIDICULOUS! TWO YEARS!

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
