While the contact was attempting to restart the vehicle, the vehicle failed to restart. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel tank had fractured and was leaking fuel. The contact stated that prior to the failure, the vehicle was consuming an excessive amount of fuel. The vehicle remained with the independent mechanic unrepaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The independent mechanic informed the contact that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V682000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE).

I am reporting a serious mechanical defect in my 2008 Lincoln MKX involving the internal water pump. This vehicle uses the Ford 3.5L V6 Cyclone engine, where the water pump is mounted inside the engine and driven by the timing chain. My water pump failed unexpectedly, causing coolant to leak into the engine oil. This design flaw poses a serious safety risk due to potential engine failure while driving. This could lead to the engine seizing without warning, loss of power steering and braking, and increased risk of a crash. Ford and Lincoln are aware of this issue, and many owners have reported similar failures, but no recall has been issued. Repairs cost thousands of dollars and often require full engine replacement. This is a known design defect that puts drivers and passengers in danger. I urge NHTSA to investigate and mandate a recall before someone is seriously injured or worse. This failure is unpredictable, dangerous, and affects many vehicles using this engine platform

The fuel system was faulty on my 2008 MKX, my life as well as my family life was almost loss due to the fact that my MKX caught on fire. Everytime I would put gas in my truck when i got back in the cabin I always smell gas. One time when i was on my way to work I walked outside and smelled gas and when I looked under my truck I could see the gas leaking out at an alarming rate, i put a pan under it and went to work to tell them i need some time off cause if someone walk by my car smoking they would blow up, I got it fix and it was the fuel system and cost me 800 dollars and at that time the mileage was around 117000. Yesterday on fathers day I watch my MKX burn to the ground and me and my family almost didnt make it out.

I LOOK OVER AT HIM AND SEE HIS FACE AND YOU CAN TELL HE GOT SCARED FOR A SECOND BECAUSE HE IS WONDERING WHY HIS SEAT ROCKED BACK AND HE ALMOST HIT A CAR IN FRONT OF HIM.IT IS ALSO HAPPENING WHEN ACCELERATING. MAKING IT A SAFETY HAZARD AS WELL BECAUSE YOU ARE SLOWING DOWN WHILE THE DRIVER BEHIND US IS SPEEDING UP AND COULD POSSIBLY HIT US BECAUSE OUR FOOT IS NO LONGER ON THE GAS.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND TRANSMISSION SHIFT TO LOW BY ITSELF. IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET IT. THE PTU IS LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID. YOUNEVERKNOW WHEN IT IS LOW. THIS CAR HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE IT WAS MANUFACTURED AND THEY NEVER FIXED THE PROBLEM. IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND NEEDS A HEAT SHIELD BETWEEN THE PTU AND THE ENGINE TO KEEP IT FROM LEAKING AND CAUSING DANGEROUS SITUATIONS ON THE ROAD. THE CAR SMOKES SO BAD THAT IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS ON FIRE. SCARED TO DRIVE BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THE FLUID IS LOW. YOU CAN SEE THE LEAK FROM THE PTU UNDER THE CAR. NOT MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINED ABOUT IT BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS WEBSITE. THIS IS REALLY DANGEROUS IF IT DOESN'T GET RECALLED SOON. WHEN THE CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. SO THEY FIXED IT THEN BUT WHEN THE WARRANTY WAS UP. IT WAS UP TO THE CUSTOMER TO DISHUP 2500.00 TO FIX IT. YOU CAN CALL AMCCO IN ZANESVILLE OHIO THEY WILL TELL YOU HOW MANY GOT FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. THE PROBLEM IS THE PTU IS SO CLOSE TO THE ENGINE IT BURNS THE FLUID IN IT. EVENTUALLY IT WEARS OUT OTHER SEALS IN THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH MAKES THINGS WORST. MY CAR SITS MOST OF THE TIME. TOO SCARED TO DRIVE IT. PLEASE HELP ME GET A RECALL ON THIS. IF YOU LOOK UP PROBLEMS WITH 2008 LINCOLN MKX YOU WILL SEE THAT IS ONE OF THE MAIN PROBLEMS

THE PTU LEAKS TRANSMISSION FLUID. I WAS TOLD THIS WAS A PROBLEM SINCE THE CAR WAS MANUFACTURED. I WANTED TO KNOW WHY THERE WASN'T A RECALL ON IT.

MY CAR WAS NOT SHIFTING RIGHT, SMOKING, AND I HAVE TO ADD TRANSMISSION FLUID TO IT. THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL IF IT HAS TOO MUCH, WHICH WILL CAUSE IT TO HAVE OTHER PROBLEMS IN THE LONG RUN.

TAKATA RECALL MY VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. I WAS APPROVED FOR A RENTAL CAR IN MAY 2018, WHICH I HAD BEEN DRIVING UNTIL 5 OCT 2018. I RECEIVED THE PHONE CALL FROM MY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP, GARY SMITH FORD IN FORT WALTON BEACH, FL ABOUT A WEEK PRIOR THE THE 5TH OF OCTOBER INFORMING ME MY AIRBAGS WERE IN AND I COULD BRING MY VEHICLE IN FOR REPLACEMENT. I BROUGHT IT IN FOR A 1200 APPOINTMENT ON 05 OCTOBER 2018. MY HUSBAND WENT TO PICK THE VEHICLE UP, WHICH HE HAD TO DROP OFF THE RENTAL VEHICLE BEFOREHAND AND GET THE RECEIPT TO GIVE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP BEFORE HE COULD GET MY VEHICLE BACK. HE WAS WAITING FOR AWHILE BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP WAS BUSY AND THEY EVENTUALLY TOLD HIM THAT THEY WOULD MAIL THE RECEIPT/SERVICE PAPERWORK TO US, WHICH WE STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED TO THIS DAY. SINCE I RECEIVED MY VEHICLE BACK, I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT ON A DAILY BASIS WITH NO CONCERNS. TODAY, 09 NOV 2018 AT 5:22 PM I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM GARY SMITH FORD TO NOTIFY ME THAT MY AIRBAGS HAVE ARRIVED AND I MAY SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE MY VEHICLE FIXED. I TOLD THE WOMAN I HAD ALREADY BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN ABOUT A MONTH AGO TO HAVE MY AIRBAGS REPLACED AND SHE SOUNDED SURPRISED. SHE ASKED IF I WERE STILL IN A RENTAL CAR, IN WHICH I TOLD HER NO BECAUSE MY AIRBAGS HAD SUPPOSEDLY BEEN REPLACED. SHE TRIED TO GET OFF THE PHONE WITH ME QUICKLY BUT I INTERRUPTED HER AND ASKED HER TO VERIFY IN THE SYSTEM THAT MY AIRBAGS HAD BEEN REPLACED. SHE TOLD ME SHE HAD NO RECORD OF ANY SERVICE ON MY VEHICLE IN THE SYSTEM. SHE ASKED A COWORKER, WHOM WAS APPARENTLY ABLE TO VERIFY THE SERVICE. THIS PHONE CALL LEFT ME UNEASY SO I CHECKED MY VIN ON THIS WEBSITE FOR OPEN RECALLS AND IT STATES AS OF 09 NOV 2018, THERE IS STILL AN OPEN RECALL FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAG ON MY VEHICLE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED MY AIRBAGS LIKE THEY HAD INFORMED ME THEY HAD.
