12 of the
350 complaints about the 2007 Lincoln MKX are about the
other systems — 3% of everything
reported for this model year.
Half of the failures with a mileage on record happened before
115,000 miles.
My 2007 Lincoln MKX was in Drive with the brake depressed waiting to back up into a traffic lane from an angled parking space in front of a small shop in our historic downtown area. Suddenly, the vehicle accelerated forward at a high rate of speed jumping the shallow curb and slamming into the cement foundation of the store. Continuing to depress the brakes made no difference in stopping the jarring unintended forward motion. The speed moving forward was so high that in the 10-12 feet from the curb to the store entrance the impact demolished the entire front of the vehicle even bending the front axels. The airbags did not deploy at all. The witness interviewed, reported loud screeching tires as her back was to the scene during the collision. Local PD, EMS and Fire all responded, with a full police report filed. It was extremely fortunate no person was either on the sidewalk or in the entrance to the storefront. My injuries included severe bruising to the right side of my neck, as well as a hematoma on my right tibia and an oblique fracture to bones in my right foot. There were no passengers in the car with me. The accident, and extreme concern over the malfunction of the vehicle allowing it to take control away from myself as the driver, has been reported to Ford Lincoln and a claim number established. My insurance company took possession of the vehicle from the tow lot after three days after determining it was a total loss. To reiterate, there was no warning at all before the incident. I was simply waiting for traffic to clear, so I could put the vehicle from Drive into Reverse and pull out of the parking space.

THE BRAKES SHUTTER WHEN MAKING STOPS AND THE PEDAL BECOMES HARD THEN GOES ALL THE WAY DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES WHETHER AT SLOW SPEEDS IN THE CITY AND HIGHWAY SPEED, WHICH ALMOST LED TO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE VEHICLE ALMOST DID NOT STOP. ALSO THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. I'VE HAD MANY PARTS REPLACED SUCH AS SUSPENSION FRONT AND REAR, STABILIZER ARMS IN FRONT, CALIPERS, BRAKE PADS ETC. BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO HAVE THIS ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING ON 295 HEADING TO FOSTER RI. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 55 MPH WHEN MY SUV STARTED TO BUCK THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AND MY SUV WOULDN'T EVEN DO 40 MPH SO I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT ON HARTFORD AVE JOHNSTON WAITED FOR A TOW TRUCK WHILE WAITING MY CAR STALLED AND WOULDN'T START BACK UP. IF I DIDN'T GET OFF THE HIGHWAY WHEN I DID I WOULD OF BEEN INVOLVED IN A CAR CRASH BECAUSE I COULDN'T EVEN DO THE SPEED LIMIT. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE IT'S CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME. I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO TASCA THEY SAID THE DIAGNOSTIC COMPUTER SAID IT WAS THE PCM, MIGHT HAVE BURNT OUT THE COILS AND SPARK PLUGS. I FEEL THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHAT IF I WASN'T WHERE I COULD GET OFF THE HIGHWAY IT COULD OF CAUSED A BAD ACCIDENT OR EVEN DEATH. SO I'M ASKING CAN THIS PLEASE BE A RECALL SO NOBODY JEOPARDIZE THEIR LIFE.
