2019 Lincoln Mkc

https://abc7chicago.com/ford-lincoln-mkc-suv-recall-fire-concerns/13337855/ The issue stems from a battery monitoring sensor that, because of where it's placed in the vehicle, could get damaged when the battery or electric components around it are serviced. The damage could cause a short circuit that, because there's no fuse in the circuitry, could lead to overheating and a fire. The vehicles involved are model year 2015 through 2019 Lincoln MKC SUVs I am reporting this because of the article that was distributed (above). Per your site, I do not have a recall. Per the Lincoln dealer I do, but they cannot allow me to come in for remediation due to not having guidance from Lincoln yet. Raising further awareness that this is an issue.

I had my winter tires replaced with my summer tires. The repairman told me that the lug nuts were swelling and shouldn’t be put back on the vehicle, they may not be removable if there was a need to do it roadside. They said that this is an extremely prevalent problem with ford vehicles and Ford was not taking ownership of the problem. They even recommended that I NOT replace them with OEM parts but to buy after market uncapped lug nuts. They had a large box of defective lug nuts sitting in the repair area.

I purchased this vehicle less than 30 days. It had 29,257 miles. From day one, the vehicle came with no heating. When you push for heat, the cold AC blows. The part is in national back order. Secondly, when driving car at 20- 45 miles there is vibration, like a window is down when on a highway, but I'm driving in my neighborhood with all windows up. The vibration is unbearable. Thirdly and most importantly, when I slow to break, the car revs up, as if it won't stop. This is very unsettling. I'm never at ease because of this. This is a newer vehicle. There's a Toyota Camry 2011 and a Mitsubishi Outlander 2018 outperforming my newer Lincoln MKC 2019. I'm now afraid to drive the MKC because of the safety concerns. I just bought the car in October 5, 2022. I've reported this to corporate Lincoln. I don't understand why there hasn't been a recall. I do notice a flood of these vehicles in the market for sale. I'm afraid to drive this vehicle.

My 2019 Lincoln MKC has a coolant leak internal the engine. It is a known issue listed on the TSB (Technical Service Bulletin), however, Lincoln does not want to knowingly issue a recall. It has been informed as well per a Lincoln Dealership Service Advisor that several Lincoln’s have been in the dealership with this specific issue In which they feel that Lincoln should issue a recall, however, has not due to them not wanting to be responsible for replacing multiple engines due to the financial expense. I have spoken to Lincoln corporate in which they agreed to assist with the expense, however, will not cover the full amount. I have researched as well as paid over $600 to have a Auto shop confirm that the issue being experienced is not something that one can cause themselves directly to a vehicle regardless of the mileage. This is a 2019 Lincoln MKC in which should absolutely not be taking place as well unsafe and concerning with having a minor traveling in the vehicle. TSB 19-2208

Not always, but when it is wet raining weather the wipers will not work properly. They slow step across the windshield and/or stop working all together. This was repaired a few months after we purchased the vehicle in September 2019. It happen again in March 2021 and now in May 2021. The dealer kept the vehicle for two weeks in March and said it was a ground wire issue. I took the vehicle back May 2021after running into rain and they wouldn't work, but started working by the time I got it back to the dealer and the rain had stopped. We are worried that at anytime we could run into rain and they could stop working, we have been lucky that the times it stopped working it was daylight and not at night.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON A HIGHWAY, SMOKE STARTED TO COME FROM THE HOOD. THIS IS APPROXIMATELY 10-15 MINUTES AFTER I HAD BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE SMOKE BECAME WORSE AND LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. THE SMOKE CONTINUED TO INTENSIFY AND STARTED TO COME THROUGH THE VENTS. I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND SAW FIRE UNDERNEATH THE THE CAR. NOT TOO LONG AFTER THE ENTIRE HOOD OF THE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES, WHICH CAUSE THE WINDSHIELD TO BUST. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND WAS ABLE TO PUT THE FIRE OUT. THE FIRE REPORT (XXX)DEEMED THIS AS ACCIDENTAL AND BELIEVE A MECHANICAL FIRE.*DT ('PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).')*JB*JB

VEHICLE SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ERROR MESSAGE "THE VEHICLE HAS SHUT DOWN" APPEAREDIN ON THE DASHBOARD. HAD THERE BEEN A TRANSPORT TRAILER BEHIND US, WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE IS DOING NOTHING FOR US. VERY DISAPPOINTING AS MY MOTHER NOW HAS TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT SHE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE!

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE (SINCE 02/02/19), THERE IS A CONSTANT VIBRATION THAT FEELS LIKE I'M DRIVING ON RUMBLE STRIPS OVER NEWLY PAVED ROADS. WHEN ON PATCHED ROADS, THE VEHICLE SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY, THAT IT FEELS LIKE THE VEHICLE IS GOING TO FALL APART. NO PICS TO SHOW OR SOUND FROM THE VEHICLE. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE TRIPS THE DEALERSHIP, WHO INITIALLY REPORTED IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH FLAT SPOTS IN THE TIRES, HOWEVER, AFTER THEY WE CHANGED (WITH TIRES FROM ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE LOT) THE PROBLEM CONTINUED. THE NEXT REASON WAS 'THAT THE VIBRATION WAS INTRINSIC TO THE VEHICLE.' THE DEALER HAS 'REBALANCED THE TIRES MULTIPLE TIMES' WHICH ONLY CHANGES THE SPEED AT WHICH THE VIBRATION IS FELT THE GREATEST. THE RANGE OF SPEED IS 25-50, IS LESS INTENSE FROM 50-60, AND RESUMES INTENSITY FROM 60+.
