Lincoln MKX 2015 — Reported problems

Rear camera can’t see behind me very well the dealership I but the car changed the camera and the screen in the car and the problem is still here it work when it cold outside but when got warm it stop working again

Rear camera flips upside down at times or turns black as well

Rear back up camera turns blank/ black intermittently when going in reverse. Have seen that multiple other vehicles are being recalled for this issue but not my particular car even tho other 2015 Lincoln MKX are included in recall. Noticed problem about 6 months ago. Often camera screen blank when I need it the most . Have called Ford/ Lincoln twice and told vehicle has no recalls. This problem is definitely a safety issue so no car or person gets hit .

Unknown

Back up camera is showing upside down and blurry!

Vehicle loses power, steering and braking without warning. Orange wrench alert illuminates. Car must be shut off and restarted. Very dangerous condition. Several other complaints online. This has happened twice, luckily at low speeds and little traffic.

A/C and Heater control; A/C blows cool on passenger side and blows hot on driver side

Warning light message: Vehicle transmission is not in Park Google search found many same complaints for older Lincolns. When repaired, would reoccur.

TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK BUT IT IS IN PARK. DRIVERS DOOR AJAR BUT DOOR IS SHUT. THESE SHOW UP IN THE DASH INFORMATION CENTER. GETTIN WORSE WITH TIME. MKX ONLY HAS 37,500 MILES. 2015 MKX. FEAR SAFETY .

WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 90 A APPROX 60 MPH. THE VEHICLE STARTED SLOWING DOWN. I LOOKED AT THE SPEEDOMETER AND IT READ 0. SECONDS LATER THE DASH POWER FLASHED AND WENT COMPLETELY DARK. I'M HAD ABSOLUTELY NO POWER AT 60MPH ON AN INTERSTATE. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO CRUISE ALONG AT MAKE IT TO THE NEXT EXIT AND STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. ONCE STOPPED, I TOOK GEAR OUT OF DRIVE AND PUT IT IN PARK. I PUSH THE START BUTTON AND IT STARTED UP. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME BUT I WAS COMPLETELY TERRIFIED THAT IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. SOON AS I MADE IT HOME, I BEGAN RESEARCHING LINCOLN MKX TO SEE IF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE. TO MY HORROR, MANY LINCOLN MKX OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS NO RECALLS LISTED ON MY VIN. THIS VEHICLE IS A DEATH TRAP AND LINCOLN NEED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IMMEDIATELY. PEOPLE HAVE DIED FROM THIS CRITICAL MALFUNCTION AND IF NOT SOMEONE'S DEATH WILL BE CAUSED. THIS VEHICLE IS A DEATH TRAP.

CAR STALLS AND LOOSES POWER IN 5-10 SECONDS WHILE DRIVING. ONCE STOPPED, THE CAR WILL RESTART AND DRIVE. THE PROBLEM INDICATOR "YELLOW WRENCH" TELLS THE DEALERSHIP NOTHING RELATING TO THE PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM IS LIFE THREATENING BECAUSE IT OFTEN HAPPENS WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH RATES OF SPEED (INTERSTATES) IN ENVIRONMENTS WITH LOTS OF TRAFFIC. SINCE THE CAR BEGINS IMMEDIATE DECELERATION, GETTING TO SAFETY WITHOUT GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT IN THESE CIRCUMSTANCES, IS FRIGHTENING AT BEST. ON WED, 4/17/19, I WAS TRAVELING ON I-40, 5 LANES OF TRAFFIC AT 5:05 P.M. (I WAS IN THE LEFTMOST LANE) AND MY CAR STALLED. BY THE TIME I GOT TO THE 2ND LANE FROM THE SHOULDER, I HAD ALMOST BEEN HIT BY A SPEEDING CAR AND AN 18-WHEELER. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET ANY MOMENTUM TO GET OFF THE ROAD QUICKLY BECAUSE THE CAR HAD NO POWER. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM!!! I FOUND MANY REPORTS OF THE SAME THING OCCURRING IN LINCOLN MKX'S (PREDOMINANTLY 2016'S) THAT RELATE TO A DEFECTIVE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY, NEED FOR UPDATED SOFTWARE, AND/OR THE PURGE BODY. LINCOLN INDICATES THEY CANNOT/WILL NOT FIX THIS ISSUE BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET A MAINTENANCE CODE TO CONFIRM THE DIAGNOSIS. THIS SITUATION COULD EASILY COST LIVES UNNECESSARILY!! MY REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE ARE NOT BEING TAKEN SERIOUSLY (DEALERSHIP & LINCOLN FORD MOTOR COMPANY). SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL ASSOCIATED TO MY VIN, THEY ATTEST THERE IS NO ISSUE UNLESS I CAN PROVIDE IT. I CAN'T PROVE IT BECAUSE I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. THEY HAVE KEPT MY CAR FOR A WEEK AND DRIVE BUT COULDN'T REPLICATE. THERE NEEDS TO SOMETHING MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE THAT IS MANDATED TO BE DONE BEFORE LIVES ARE LOST. IT IS MY HOPE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ASSIST. THANK YOU.

KEEP GETTING "TRANSMISSION IS NOT IN PARK" DOES NOT HAPPEN EACH TIME I PUT IT IN PARK BUT SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM ONLY HAVE 26,000 MILES ON IT.

SHIFT CAR INTO "PARK" AND THE CAR IS CLEARLY IN PARK BUT ON THE DASH THE "P" DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHICH CAUSES AN ERROR MESSAGE OF "TRANSMISSION NOT IN PARK" WHEN YOU TURN THE CAR OFF. IF YOU TURN THE CAR OFF WHILE THE ERROR MESSAGE IS SHOWING, ALL AUXILIARY COMPONENTS (HEAT, RADIO, ETC) STAY ON AND YOUR BATTERY GOES DEAD. OCCURS NEARLY EVERY DAY, EACH TIME THE VEHICLE IS PUT INTO "PARK".

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE CHANGES FROM AUTOMATIC TO SORTS MODE AND SHOWS SHIFT CHANGING ON DASH, WHICH CAUSES IT TO GO FROM ANY SPEED TO 5MPH INSTANTLY. IT PULLS CAR BACK AND CAUSES SUDDEN SPEED CHANGE AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER SINCE PURCHASED VARIOUS TIMES AND THE STILL DO NOT FIND ANYTHING AND I AM STILL PAYING FOR THE CAR THAT I BOUGHT A YR AGO WHILE IT CONTINUES TO DO THE SAME THING. LAST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS SEPT 15 2018 (HAS HAPPENED OVER 20 TIMES).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 LINCOLN MKX. THE CONTACT INQUIRED ABOUT A RECALL AND WAS INFORMED THAT NO RECALL WAS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VIN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE PARKING AND ANTI THEFT WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

"ENGINE RECALL" ONCE I TRY TO STICK IT IN PARK, IT TELLS ME TRANSMISSION IS NOT IN PARK! DOES THIS EVERY TIME I TRY TO PUT IT IN PARK! MY CAR ISN'T EVEN 2 YEARS OLD YET AND JUST HIT 30,000 MILES! VERY FRUSTRATING!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 LINCOLN MKX. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT SMELLED AN OIL ODOR EMITTING FROM THE AIR VENTS IN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 05/10/16*LJ *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 LINCOLN MKX. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER AND THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE COMPUTERS HAD A GLITCH, WHICH TRIGGERED A FALSE WARNING INDICATOR THAT RESULTED IN LOSS OF POWER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HWY IN HOUSTON, TEXAS WITH NO OTHER VEHICLE AROUND ME UNEXPECTEDLY THE REAR SUNROOF GLASS SHATTERED ALONG THE FRONT EDGE. THERE'S AN INSURMOUNTABLE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS RELATED TO THIS ISSUE FOR LINCOLN AND FORD AND YOU CAN CHECK AT HTTP://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T37305_DS520649. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE PIECES OF GLASS FALL INSIDE THE CAR AND CAN HARM OCCUPANTS. I TRIED TO REASON WITH LINCOLN CORPORATION WITHOUT SUCCESS. THEY CLAIMED THAT AN OBJECT HIT THE GLASS BUT IF THE GLASS IS CLOSED, IS FLAT AND THERE'S NO WAY AN OBJECT CAN HIT IT. I WISH I COULD SEND PICTURES BUT HAVE NO WAY OF DOING SO UNLESS I HAVE A VALID EMAIL.
