Lincoln MKT 2010 — Problemas relatados

I was driving home from work thru a construction area and all of a sudden my power steering/collision warning came on and the signal with the slippery tire car symbol. My power steering went out i almost hit a concrete wall but was able to steer car in development off main road Power steering out and will not operate. Says no recalls on 2010 but online same issue with 2012 and has recall im lucky i was seriously hurt or killed. Shooken up in Florida

Front sub frame rusted out completely on drivers side, passenger side is fine. The frame could separate at any time which could cause you to loss control of car without warning. Took car to get lower control arm replaced and repair shop saw rust damage to sub frame and took pictures. Called Ford to tell them about issue, they are having a dealer inspect it on 11/25/2022.

4th time in 12 years that the moonroof has broken and the side shields that hold each side in place need to be replaced. This is a recurrent issue at least with me on this vehicle causing my roof to stay open until fixed. Not sure if tis because the roof is so big or if its just faulty equipment/engineering. But I think every three years is a bit much

There is an apparent transmission issue and, according to my research, it is somewhat common with this model vehicle. There is an intermittent problem with shift delay and/or "jumping" during acceleration from first gear. Often happens at stopped position at light and is dangerous if turning in front of oncoming traffic. I was hoping for a recall on this issue, but guess I'll have to take it to a repair shop at my expense. As for any warning lights.... about a month ago, the check engine light came on while we were traveling, but went away on its own by the time we got home a couple days later, so don't know if it is related or not? Below ask when "incident"occurred, but it has happened multiple times so I will just list first approximate date.

I was driving the car and the power steering went completely out without warning and almost caused a serious collison. After researching the car I found that there were multile issues with the power steering modules on these vehicles, this car needs to be repaired by the manufacturer, this is a defect.

The steering all of a sudden became impossible to turn the vehicle. I almost had an accident trying to get over to the shoulder. While pulling over on the shoulder the warning signal on the mirror didn’t tell me that another car was next to me. These issues could have cost me my life

TURBO HAS GONE OUT BUT THIS MAKES THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED. I HAVE INVESTIGATED THIS PROBLEM WITH OTHERS AND HAVE FOUND THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE TURBOS! I NOTICE IT SMOKES EXCESSIVE AND WAS TOLD ITS A FIRE HAZARD AND NOT TO DRIVE ON HIGHWAY. THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE STREET WHEN IT BEGAN LOSING POWER TO ACCELERATE!

THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE RETURNING TO NORMAL OPERATION. THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS RE-STARTED AND THE STEERING REMAINED IN THE LOCKED POSITION. THE CONTACT AGAIN ATTEMPTED TO TURN OFF AND RESTART THE VEHICLE HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. GERVAIS LINCOLN, INC (24 REISS AVE, LOWELL, MA 01851, (978) 454-5696) WAS CONTACTED AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT SUBJECTED TO A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LINCOLN MKT. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, WHEN THE POWER STEERING ASSIST WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE CONTACT STATED HE WAS ABLE TO PARK ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE.

AT CERTAIN OF DRIVING OR STATIONARY THE POWER STEERING JUST QUITS WORKING AND THE VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO PULL OVER TO SAFETY. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS.

CATASTROPHIC WATER PUMP FAILURE. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING AND WHITE PLUMES BURST FROM THE EXHAUST. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TO A SAFE PLACE BEFORE THE ENGINE FAILED COMPLETELY.

ALTHOUGH THE WARNING WAS DISPLAYED, I WAS NOT AWARE THAT MY CAR ONLY HAD AN ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING. THIS TYPE OF ISSUE IS ONE THAT CAN TRULY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT SHOULD ONE IS DRIVING WHEN THEIR POWER STEERING GO OUT. THE POWER STEERING ON THIS CAR STOPS MORE THAN JUST YOUR STEERING WHEEL AND I FOR ONE THINK THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. IT'S A GOOD THING THAT I WAS PARKED AND GLAD BECAUSE MY DAUGHTER WAS WITH ME.

THE POWER STEERING CUTS OUT WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. ERROR MESSAGE STATES POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILURE, TYPICALLY DURING A HARD TURN AT LOW SPEED SUCH AS IN OR OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. 15V340000 RECALL IS FOR THE NEXT MODEL YEAR AND THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER HAVE STATED THIS VEHICLE CANNOT BE FIXED UNDER THAT RECALL.

WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN ON A BRIDGE THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME UNABLE TO TURN. DURING LEFT TURNS THE STEERING IS OFTEN VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER.

I HAVE TWO COMPLAINTS ON THIS VEHICLE. 1. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND HEAR A LOUD EXPLOSION THAT WAS THE MOONROOF,. 2. THE WATER PUMP WAS DEFECTIVE AND PUT COOLANT INTO MY OIL AND RUINED THE ENGINE. THIS SEEMS TO HAVE HAPPENED WAY TOO MANY TIMES FOR THIS NOT TO BE A RECALL ON BOTH OF THESE. MY CAR LITERALLY OVERHEATED OUT OF NOWHERE.

I PURCHASED THE CAR USED A MONTH AGO. TODAY IS THE SECOND DAY THAT AFTER STARTING THE CAR THE DASH DISPLAYED A POWER STEERING FAULT MESSAGE. SURE ENOUGH I CAN BARELY STEER THE CAR. EACH TIME I TURNED THE CAR OFF, WAITED 30 SECONDS, TURNED THE CAR BACK ON AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY.

I HAVE A 2010 LINCOLN MKT AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE POWER STEERING. IT RANDOMLY STOPS WORKING AND IT DIFFICULT TO STEER THE CAR. I ALMOST HIT A MAILBOX TODAY BECAUSE THE STEERING BECAME SO STIFF AND THE ALERT CAME UP ON MY DASH. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE 2011 AND 2012 MODELS BUT THE NHTSA RECALL SHOULD INCLUDE THE 2010 MODELS AS WELL. I HAVE CHILDREN AND THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD! I WON'T EVEN BE ABLE TO RESELL THE CAR IN THIS CONDITION AS IT IS RANDOM. PLEASE CONSIDER LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE PROMPTLY AS I CAN SEE THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS AND MY SITUATION IS NOT UNIQUE. I PRAY TO GOD I DON'T GET IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER OPTIONS FOR TRANSPORTATION AND WILL TRY TO AVOID USING THE INTERSTATE IN MEANTIME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME! PLEASE UPDATE ME AT [[XXX] OR [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

PERIODICALLY GETTING "POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" AND THE EPAS ELECTRIC POWER STEERING QUITS WORKING. APPARENTLY THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE, BUT IT ONLY INCLUDED 2011-2012 LINCOLN MKT/MKS AND FORD FLEX WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE ALSO INCLUDED 2010 MODELS. SO FAR IT HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FIRST STARTED (STATIONARY) AND WE'VE BEEN ABLE TO GET IT TO WORK AGAIN BY SHUTTING OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING.

IPULLED INTO MY DRIVE WAY AND MY CAR DIED OUT NO OVER HEATING NO WARNING LIGHT NO ANYTHING. I LOOKED UNDER MY HOOD TO CHECK EVERYTHING AND NOTICED MY COOLANT WAS GONE I THEN POURED MORE INTO IT REALIZING THAT IT WAS ALL GOING OUT OF MY CAR I BUT NOT ONTO THE GROUND. I CALLED AN MECHANIC WHO TOLD ME MY COOLANT LEAKED INTO MY OIL MY WATER PUMP FAILED. IT FAILED INTERNAL TO THE TIMING CHAIN COVER AND DUMPED A LARGE AMOUNT OF COOLANT INTO THE CRANKCASE WHICH THEN CONTAMINATED THE ENGINE OIL AND OVER FILLED THE OIL PAN. IM GLAD THAT I WAS HOME AND NOT DRIVING DOWN THE STREET BECAUSE THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. ON FURTHER RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THIS HAS OCCURRED MANY TIMES. THE ENGINE IN QUESTION IS THE CYCLONE ENGINE AND IS FORDS LATEST V6 FAMILY OF GASOLINE ENGINES INTRODUCED IN 2006, AND IS KNOWN AS THE DURATEC 35 WHICH DISPLACES 3.5 L, THE DURATEC 37 WHICH DISPLACES 3.7L AND THE ECOBOOST 35 WHICH IS ATWIN TURBO CHARGED VARIANT OF THE DURATEC 35, THESE ENGINES ARE INSTALLED IN THE FOLLOWING VEHICLES, 2007'PRESENT FORD EDGE, 2010'2012 FORD FUSION SPORT, 2011'PRESENT FORD MUSTANG, 2009'PRESENT FORD FLEX, 2010'PRESENT FORD TAURUS SHO, 2013'PRESENT POLICE INTERCEPTOR SEDAN, 2011'PRESENT FORD EXPLORER, 2013'PRESENT FORD POLICE INTERCEPTOR UTILITY, 2011'PRESENT FORD F-150, 2015'PRESENT FORD EXPEDITION/EXPEDITION EL, 2014'PRESENT FORD TRANSIT, 2015'PRESENT LINCOLN NAVIGATOR/NAVIGATOR L, 2010'PRESENT LINCOLN MKS, AND 2010'PRESENT LINCOLN MKT WHICH IS THE CAR I HAVE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LINCOLN MKT. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY FAILED AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (BOB HURLEY FORD OF TULSA, 745 W. 51ST ST., TULSA, OK) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER ASSIST FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

"POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT" LIGHT COMES ON AND POWER STEERING LOCKS UP OR BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. I BARELY AVOIDED AN ACCIDENT. I HAD TO STOP THE CAR IN TRAFFIC BECAUSE I COULDN'T STEER THE CAR. I FOUND I COULD BARELY STEER THE CAR WITH GREAT EFFORT AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE CAR TO SIDE OF ROAD. THIS VERY SAME ISSUE APPEARS TO BE ACROSS MANY FORD/LINCOLN 2010-2013 MODELS. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR APPARENTLY THE EXACT ISSUE IN 2015 (INCLUDED 2011-2013 LINCOLN MKT) BUT NOT THE 2010 WHICH I HAVE. MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT ISSUE. A QUICK RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS EXPERIENCED BY MANY FORD/LINCOLN CARS SHARING THE SAME "ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST" SYSTEM. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS ISSUE! THE STEERING OF THE CAR ITSELF BECOME LOCKED AND NEARLY INOPERABLE WHILE DRIVING. APPARENTLY THE NHTSA IS ALREADY LOOKING AT THIS VERY ISSUE (SEE HERE: HTTPS://WWW.DETROITNEWS.COM/STORY/BUSINESS/AUTOS/FORD/2016/10/03/FUSION-EDGE-NHTSA-INVESTIGATION/91473188/). THE NHTSA NEEDS TO KNOW THAT THE ISSUE IS COMMON TO THE "ELECTRONIC STEERING ASSIST SYSTEM" NOT ONLY IN THE "FUSION" OR "EDGE" BUT ACROSS MANY FORD/LINCOLN MODELS INCLUDING THE LINCOLN MKT. THE SPECIFIC FORD/LINCOLN PART IS A "TRW GEN 1 EPAS" MODULE. THIS SAME MODULE IS USED ON MANY FORD/LINCOLN CARS. ONLY SOME OF THE CARS CONTAINING THE "TRW GEN 1 EPAS" MODULE WERE PART OF PAST RECALLS. ALL FORD/LINCOLN MODELS CONTAINING THE "TRW GEN 1 EPAS" MODULE SHOULD BE RECALLED/REPAIRED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

A GAS TYPE ODOR ENTERS CABIN OF VEHICLE. I BELIEVE IT TO BE CARBON MONOXIDE. I OFTEN HAVE TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS EVEN IN COLD WINTER WEATHER TO PREVENT CARBON MONOXIDE FROM OVERTAKING THE CABIN WHEN THE HEATING SYSTEM IS ON.

ON 11/30/2014, THE GLASS SUNROOF EXPLODED ON MY 2010 LINCOLN MKT WHILE DRIVING ON THE NY THRUWAY AT NIGHT, AT HIGHWAY SPEED, IN CLEAR WEATHER, ON STRAIGHT, DRY PAVEMENT -- VERY LOUD, STARTLING EXPLOSION. SUNROOF REMAINED IN PLACE. ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF VEHICLE. NO INJURIES, BUT VERY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. DID NOT DISCOVER EXTENT OF DAMAGE UNTIL NEXT MORNING, IN DAYLIGHT: GLASS HAD REMAINED IN PLACE AND DID NOT SHATTER, BUT SPIDERWEB CRACKS THROUGHOUT. LINCOLN CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT REFERRED ME TO THE SUNROOF MANUFACTURER/SUPPLIER. NO FURTHER RESPONSE FROM ANYONE AFTER MY COMPLAINT IN A TELEPHONE CONVERSATION WITH THE SUNROOF SUPPLIER/MANUFACTURER, SHORTLY AFTER THE INCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LINCOLN MKT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25-35 MPH, THE SERVICE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

TAKATA RECALL. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, WITH NO OTHER VEHICLES NEAR US, OUR MOONROOF EXPLODED. WE WERE NOT NEAR ANY OVERPASS. NO OTHER VEHICLE OR PERSON WAS INVOLVED. IT IS APPARENT THAT IT EXPLODED OUTWARD. THIS VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT. NOTHING EVER FELL ON TOP OF CAR OR SCRAPED IT. WE ARE OUT $1000.00 + RENTAL CAR EXP.

AFTER DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED OR HIGH LOAD AND THEN COMING TO A STOP, AN EXHAUST SMELL WILL FILL THE CABIN WITH VISIBLE SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. MY FRIEND WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND SAID HE ALMOST PASSED OUT, WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, BEFORE OPENING A WINDOW. I HAVE PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM AS WELL, THINKING MY CAR WAS ON FIRE. FORD DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO RECALL OR KNOWN FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 LINCOLN MKT. WHILE MAKING A TURN AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE POWER STEERING SUDDENLY FAILED. THE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

OVER THE LAST 2 WEEKS, MY LINCOLN MKT HAS EXPERIENCED SEVERAL EPISODES OF SHUDDERING AND LOSS OF POWER. IN ADDITION, A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF SMOKE HAS BEEN SPEWING OUT OF THE TAIL PIPES OCCASIONALLY - THIS USUALLY HAPPENS FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AFTER THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. I FIRST NOTICED THE SHUDDERING WHILE DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY. THE NEXT DAY, THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED IT AND SAID IT IS A TURBO UNDERBOOST PROBLEM THAT CAN BE REMEDIED BY REPLACING THE TURBOS. DUE TO THE SIGNIFICANT COST OF REPLACEMENT, THEY SUGGEST THAT I CONSIDER REPLACING THE VEHICLE, AS SOME OF THEIR CUSTOMERS DO. THIS TELLS ME WE HAVE A KNOWN ISSUE! A TURBO PROBLEM ON A VEHICLE WITH UNDER 100,000 MILES? SOUNDS LIKE A MAJOR DEFECT THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE AWARE OF. *TR

DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY THE POWER STEERING GOT STOCK & ALMOST LOOSE CONTROL AND I PUT OVER THEM THE STERING BECAME HARD TO TURN

I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY POWER STERRING WENT OUT, ALMOST HAD A ACCIDENT

07/04/2016, DRIVING HOME FROM 4TH OF JULY FIREWORKS AT APPROXIMATELY 1030PM, SPEED 55-60 MPH, TEMPERATURE ABOUT 65, HEADING WEST BOUND ON STRAIGHT ROUTE, WITH MY HUSBAND DRIVING, MYSELF AS PASSENGER, AND THREE MINOR CHILDREN IN THE 2ND AND 3RD ROW. (NOTE: NO CARS AROUND, NO EXTERNAL ISSUES, NO PREVIOUS CRACKS IN GLASS.) BOOM SOUNDS LIKE A RIFFLE JUST SHOT AT MY CAR. PULLED OVER INTO LOCAL MARKETS PARKING LOT. THE ENTIRE BACK PANEL OF THE CARS MOON ROOF IS SPIDER WEBBED AND COMPLETELY SHATTERED WITH CHUNKS COMING OUT. I HAD TO UNLOAD MY CHILDREN INTO SEPARATE VEHICLE FOR THEIR SAFETY FOR IT LOOKED LIKE THE ENTIRE ROOF OF MY CAR IS GOING TO COLLAPSE IN. MY HUSBAND EXAMINED ROAD AT THE POINT OF EXPLOSION AND THE VEHICLE ONCE WE GOT INTO OUR GARAGE. THERE WAS NO SIGNS OF ANY FOREIGN OBJECTS OR LOGICAL REASONING FOR THE SUNROOFS EXPLOSION.

SUDDEN LOSS OF STEERING ASSIST. MESSAGES APPEARED TO "SERVICE ADVANCETRACK" AND "SERVICE STEERING". TWO INCIDENCES WITHIN 3 DAYS. BOTH TIMES THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, ONCE ON AN EXIT RAMP AND ONCE ON A STATE HIGHWAY. NEAR LOSS OF CONTROL DUE TO THE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT MANUAL STEERING MODE THAT RESULTED. VERY UNNERVING AND DANGEROUS TO SUDDENLY LOSE STEERING WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. FORTUNATELY I WAS STRONG ENOUGH TO MAINTAIN VEHICLE CONTROL. MY WIFE MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SO FORTUNATE.

"TAKATA RECALL"MY COMPLAIN WAS FILED HERE ALREADY 2 WEEKS AGO AND NOBODY HAVEN'T CALL ME YET BROUGHT THE 2010 LINCOLN TO FORD DEALERSHIP AND YES THE ISSUE WAS THE POWER STEERING WAS OFF AND PAY FOR DIAGNOSE $160 AND AFTER THAT THEY SAID THEY CAN'T REPROGRAM BECAUSE OF NO CODE FOUND AND WILL HAVE TO PAY $2800 FOR THE REPAIRS NOT MY FAULT THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS DEFECTED AND CAME FROM CANADA I AM THE SECOND OWNER SO I JUST FOUND OUT DOING A LOT OF RESEARCH ABOUT THE RECALL BUT SINCE THE CAR CAME FROM CANADA AND JUST HAD IT NOT EVEN 2 MONTHS BEFORE I ALMOST DIE ON THE FREEWAY DRIVING BACK HOME I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. MY POWER STEERING JUST SUDDENLY LOCK AND I CAN'T MOVE IT AND ALMOST CAUSE ME TO DIE THANK GOD I PULL OVER TO THE RIGHT END LANE OF OTHER WISE I'M ALREADY DEAD BY NOW.
