2013 Lincoln Mkx

STARTED HAPPENING IN 2015, "DOOR AJAR" INDICATOR STAYS ON WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED, CAUSES INDICATOR LIGHT TO FLASH BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THAT AND "SHIFT TO PARK" NON-STOP WHEN IN MOTION. IT PREVENTS THE CAR FROM BEING LOCKED WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION, DANGEROUS WITH KIDS IN CAR. AT TIMES DOME LIGHTS WILL NOT GO OUT WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF. THE ALARM GOES AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE PARKED AND OFF, LAST NIGHT EVERY 2 HRS STARTING AT 12 AM. HAVE COME OUT OF WORK TO FIND LIGHTS FLASHING FROM ALARM HAVING GONE OFF. AFRAID TO PARK IN GARAGE NOW BECAUSE OF FIRE HAZARD. KEY FOB MUST BE PUSHED TO UNLOCK DRIVERS DOOR BUT NOT PASSENGER SIDE. STARTING IN 4-19 THE NAVIGATION SCREEN WHEN IN REVERSE AND BACKING UP RANDOMLY GOES BLACK.

PURCHASED VEHICLE USED IN NOVEMBER 2015. NOTICED EVERY TIME I PUT GASOLINE IN THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT START ON THE FIRST ATTEMPT. MONTHS LATER, CHECK IN LIGHT COME ON, TOOK VEHICLE TO A FORD DELERSHIP (IN 2016) AND WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. AS TIME WENT ON, THE ISSUE WITH REFUELING AND ENGIN LIGHT COUNTIED. IN 2017 WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, A WARNING LIGHT APPEARED (LOW OIL ENGIN PRESSURE) AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY AND REPLACED IT. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, ENGIN LIGHT APPEARED AND ONE MONTH LATER RECEIVED SAME LOW OIL PRESSURE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT AGAIN WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED, CURRENTLY IN THE SHOP.

THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE 2014. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I LIVED IN OHIO ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THE DOOR AJAR WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD AS WELL AS THE DOME LIGHT WHILE I'M DRIVING STAYS ON STATING THAT THE DOOR IS AJAR WHICH KEEPS THE DOORS FROM LOCKING AND THE DOME LIGHT STAYS ON WHICH IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS ALSO OCCURS WHILE IT'S PARK AND IT SOMETIMES COMES ON BY ITSELF WHICH CAUSES THE ALARM TO GO OFF. THE DEALERSHIPS ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES AND ARE WAITING FOR FORD/LINCOLN TO TAKE CORRECTIVE ACTION.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2013 AND 3 OF 4 DOOR SENSORS HAVE MALFUNCTIONED. THE DOOR AJAR LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON SO MY DOORS WILL NOT LOCK WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS CONCERN AS I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN AS PASSENGERS, ALSO GOD FORBID I AM IN A SITUATION WHERE I NEED TO LOCK MYSELF IN MY CAR FOR SOME REASON; I AM SCREWED! THE ALARM CONSTANTLY GOES OFF IF I LOCK/ARM THE ALARM OR AND LOCK DOORS BECAUSE OF THE DOOR SENSORS. THE DOME LIGHT ILLUMINATES AT RANDOM TIMES WHILE DRIVING, VERY ANNOYING WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, ANOTHER SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION. WHEN THE FIRST SENSOR STARTED ACTING UP I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY QUOTED ME $420! AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OVER $1200 TO REPAIR FAULTY DOOR SENSORS ON A VEHICLE THAT IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD. I WAS SIMPLY TOLD BY THE FORD DEALER THAT I SHOULD HAVE PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND THAT THE ISSUE IS NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL BECAUSE IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. AS A PARENT WITH TWO YOUNG CHILDREN I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THAT NOT BEING ABLE TO LOCK MY DOORS WHILE DRIVING IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING ONLINE MANY FORD AND LINCOLN MODEL CARS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. SOMEONE NEEDS TO HOLD FORD/LINCOLN ACCOUNTABLE AND MAKE THEM FIX THIS ISSUE AT NO CHARGE TO THE CONSUMER. I ALREADY PAID THEM A HEFTY PRICE TO PURCHASE THE VEHICLE LESS THAN 5 YEARS AGO. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON ALL OF THESE MECHANISMS SHOULD BE FAILING OR ALREADY FAILED IN SUCH A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!! * 11/01/2015 IS THE APPROXIMATE DATE WHEN SYMPTOMS/ISSUES FIRST BEGAN.

DOORS FAIL TO LATCH, WITH SEVERAL REPORTS INDICATING THAT THE 'DOOR AJAR' WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH APPEARED AND CABIN LIGHTS STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING AND STAYS ON AFTER CLOSING DOORS! THE ONLY WAY TO TURN THEM OFF IS TO UNPLUG BATTERY! THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THAT I HAVE BEEN REPAIRING DIFFERENT DOORS LATCH AND I AM SURPRISED WHY CAR SAFETY RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED YET ON THESE MODELS. IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR AND IT'S A CAUSING A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING NIGHT TIME WITH CABIN LIGHT ON AND AJAR WARNING SYSTEM IS OFF!!!! PLEASE NOTE THAT SAME ISSUE OCCURS EVERY YEAR WITH MORE THAN ONE DOOR (2014/2015/2016/2017)

VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. THE DOOR AJAR WARNING LIGHT, AT TIMES, REMAINS ON WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED WHICH AFFECTS SEVERAL ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS SUCH AS, AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS, ALARM SYSTEM, COURTESY LIGHTS AND OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. THE DOOR HAS TO BE SLAMMED SHUT SEVERAL TIMES TO MAKE THE WARNING LIGHT GO OFF AND MAKE THE INOPERABLE COMPONENTS OPERABLE. THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE A FAULTY DOOR LOCK SWITCH WHICH IS QUITE COMMON IN SEVERAL FORD/LINCOLN VEHICLES. A RECALL OF THESE DOOR LOCK SWITCHES SHOULD BE ENTERTAINED.
