2014 Lincoln MKT Complaints

The contact owns a 2014 Lincoln MKT. The contact stated that while driving approximately 25 MPH, the vehicle stalled and shut off and failed to restart. The vehicle was later towed to the local dealer, and the contact was informed that the vehicle was not serviceable. There was no explanation provided. The vehicle was towed back to the residence. After researching the failure, the contact discovered that the failure might be associated with an undisclosed wiring harness failure. The contact was informed that the wiring harness was on back order from the manufacturer. The contact indicated that a co-worker received the same response from a different dealer after experiencing the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted regarding the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000. The VIN was not available.

I am submitting this complaint regarding a recurring safety issue with the rear-view camera system in my 2014 Lincoln MKT. The camera intermittently fails to display a proper image when the vehicle is placed in reverse. Specifically, the screen either remains blank, displays a distorted image, or inverts the image entirely. These malfunctions significantly impair rear visibility and pose a safety hazard, particularly in environments with limited space or pedestrian traffic. I have narrowly avoided several incidents with other vehicles or pedestrians, due to this camera malfunction. I am aware that Ford Motor Company has issued a recall for similar rear-view camera defects affecting various models from the 2015 to 2019 production years. However, my vehicle—despite exhibiting identical symptoms—is not currently included in that recall. Given the nature of the defect and its potential to compromise driver and pedestrian safety, I respectfully request that the National Highway Traffic Sa...

Turn car on and the steering wheel was impossible to turn. Received fault message saying error with steering system. Turn car off and back on and it worked this happened several times. Then it happened again and cannot the power steering to engage. Checked recalls none on my vehicle but same issue as other vehicles. Mechanic looked at vehicle and noted issue reset sensors which did not remedy issue. Still inspecting

There is a recall for this on different VIN for this year and car, but not this VIN. The electric power steering locks up unable to move when you hit a bump or try to turn into somewhere or just changing lanes. This has led to almost constant accidents happening. This has been inspected by an independent service center and confirmed this is related to the recall.

Shortly after leaving my home, I pulled onto the local road that takes me to the freeway. At this time I had noticed a pattern on the front panel of my panoramic sunroof which I had initially believed to be ice, as that is not uncommon for the environment I am in. Momentarily after this, I had merged onto the freeway where a cracking sound became prevalent. It was then when I realized there was no ice on my sunroof, it was the glass beginning to shatter. I immediately pulled over, as safety became a very imminent concern. After analyzing the front panel of the panoramic sunroof, I had attempted to take the vehicle off the freeway for further action as there was no major pieces of glass missing at the moment. After pulling off, the glass had suddenly completely broken, causing a very loud sound and a rush of air. It is important to note that there was zero impact made to the glass previous to the incident. This is a known issue from the Ford/Lincoln manufacturer in regards to their pano...
