My father pulled away from a stop sign on a city street,crossed traffic and hit the back bumper of a pickup truck after which his foot slipped on to the accelerator and drove his car directly into a utility pole. The impact with the pole was hard enough to sheer off pole and the front of his car was damaged significantly from the bumper to the frame putting a v-shaped indentation and the air bags never deployed.he was going fast enough to sheer off the wooden utility pole and the wires were hanging down over the car.
The power just comes on on my climate control and the temperature starts to go all the way up, and when you try to turn it off it comes back on and if you try to turn it down it goes back up it happens when my vehicle is in motion or stationary, it does that for a little while and stop then it starts doing it again. The first time it happen was 03/12/2021 but it happens almost everyday.

The vehicle was a total loss. The cause of the fire was electrical. There was a recall on this particular make, model, & year to fix a problem which would lead to a fire. However, the recall notice was never received. The insurance company, fiduciary, have denied the claim as they do not cover fires caused by electrical.
My vehicle's interior temperature will automatically increase to its maximum setting very quickly. I noticed that it's due to the touch sensitivity of the touch panel, which controls the vehicle's air conditioning, heat, music controls, and more. This has almost caused me to crash because of driver discomfort and having to warm up the touch panel with my hands, in order to allow it to stop changing by itself. This happens every day and is very concerning. Areas of the touch panel are unresponsive as well. I noticed this soon after my vehicle recieved an over-the-air update (a few months ago). This occurred just after my vehicle reached the 100k mile mark which was the warranty limit on the component. My vehicle currently has 111,900 miles on its odometer.
The vehicle lost all ability to accelerate while operating at approximately 65 mph on an interstate highway.this forced the operator to coast the vehicle to the shoulder of the highway while navigating through traffic.the powertrain malfunction/reduced power (rtt) wrench symbol illuminated in addition to the service engine soon light. Before the tow truck arrived the operator attempted to move the vehicle under its own power every 15 minutes.within approximately 40 minutes the vehicle responded to the accelerator and was driven to the operator's residence.the service technician diagnosed that the throttle body lost electrical power forcing a fail safe mode that disconnected the accelerator control.

The heating system for the car will automatically turn up to 90 degree, all on its own. I am unable to shut it off, or turn it down. This is es[specially dangerous with the defogger.
On 7/13/17 my a/c fdim module was replaced for failure. While driving the defective unit would turn itself on in the air conditioning mode and begin on the coolest digital setting then progressively adjust the temperature until it reached it highest point. I tried several attempts to turn the touch screen off but the unit kept turning the a/c on and would have harmed the a/c compressor. It was summer time and the heat on high and was uncontrollable was not a good situation.the car was taken to the lincoln dealership to find that the module needed to be replaced due to failure.since the lincoln mks was a certified car, it was replaced under warranty at no cost to me. However, i am concerned that this new unit could fail in the future with no warranty left on the vehicle at about $1400.00 or more. I have noticed that there has been another case with the same issue. There may be others that i am not aware of. I am just communicating my issue with my vehicle at only 33,308 miles.
At various speeds, defective fcim (front controls interface module) resulting in temperature set to all the way hi/max fan, creating cabin temperatures exceeding 90 degrees fahrenheit. Turning off the ac system or reducing the temperature does not resolve the issue. Performing a reset of the car's sync system does not resolve the issue. This is a common complaint, generating at least 3 nhtsa complaints as well as a tsb. It creates a hazardous condition when transporting vulnerable riders such as infants and the elderly (those sensitive to heat), as well as interfering with the car's defogging mechanism reducing visibility under certain circumstances and creating dangerous driving conditions.
Hvac controls turns itself off, causing windsheild to fog up.
The power steering goes in and out making it impossible to control when it happens. Very difficult to turn the wheel,issue # 2 temperature control goes from set temperature to full heat unassisted. You cannot turn the high temperature setting off.it is unbearable to drive in car with heat on full blast. Both of these issues can happen in motion or whenstopped
There is a problem with the climate control system (fcim) that causes the temperature to run up to maximum temperature.it cannot be shut off.this is very dangerous because with extremely elevated temperatures in the car you are very liable to fall asleep.or try to reduce the temp by banging on the controls,this makes you very distracted.this problem exists whenever the car is running, in motion or stopped.
Was parking car in driveway and when trying to back into space sterring wheel became extremely hard to maneuver.

I read in the paper that you are investigating ford f150 trucks with the ecoboost engine for sudden stalling problems when attempting to accelerate.i have experienced the same problem several times with my 2013 lincoln mks with the ecoboost engine.previously i owned a 2010 lincoln mks with the ecoboost engine that also occasionally experienced the same problem.
Happened 2 - 3 times. Engine will sputter/die after coming to near stop and then trying to accelerate into traffic flow or make a turn through traffic onto a street. Car will start up again after pressing gas pedal numerous times. Very scary and dangerous as car dies in front of oncoming traffic .i was told at ford dealer that ford knows about the problem but there is nothing that can be done. This is a serious safety issue involving a very expensive automobile. Ford needs to be forced to do the right thing and either fix the problem or refund the purchase price.

There is a leak coming from the water pump which is in the engine. It's on average a $1700 fix which is extremely expensive. From what i've been told by multiple mechanics is that it is a design defect the ford did for that year. My mechanic said he's been fixing the same issue on ford escape, lincoln mkz, lincoln mks, and some ford trucks that are 2013. My car is below 75,000 miles and this is typically a fix that doesn't occur until 120,000 miles. If this is a design defect than ford should be paying for it not me. The car is not old nor does it have a high miles. This outrageous

I went to cal worthington in anchorage alaska where i bought my car to have the recall 13s04 fuel delivery module replaced.now less than a week with the new module, the module is leaking and the gas fumes are overwhelming inside my garage.i parked my car outside last night to be sure it was the car.i pulled it back in this morning and right away the garage was overwhelmed with gas fumes.the dealership is a 3 hour drive one way for me.i am tired of mechanics leaving things uncompleted.they didn't hook my heated seats back in after working on it.wires were hanging out of the bottom and my motor protector shield was not screwed in.also, 3 weeks ago, another couple in the area owned a 2013 lincoln mks similar to mine.it caught on fire while waiting for their food in a mcdonalds drive thru.it completely burned up.
For some 4 years now our car has gone into a limp mode while being driven at highway speeds, over bridges, and along dark roadways. The check engine wrench lights up when the car goes into this mode. Unannounced, the sudden and immediate slowing of the car leaves it unsafe to driver, passengers, and others on the road who find themselves behind a fast moving car that suddenly and without notice drastically slows down on its own. It is an uncontrollable unsafe and hazardous creeping condition. The car restarts and drives after being placed in park and shut down. The car then drives normally until the next limp situation. Once the car is turned off and restarted however the check engine wrench clears from display screen, and the code itself clears from the pcm. This has made the intermittent events impossible to catch upon being diagnosed by the dealer. We finally had to drive with our code diagnostic device to try and catch the problem as and when it suddenly arose in traffic. Last week the problem occurred again. We were able to get to the side of the highway and plug in the diagnostic device and pull a single code; dtc p2111. Upon researching the code we found that this unsafe problem as been known to ford for sometime, but we were not in that group of owners who were sent letters explaining the extended warranty program put into place to correct this situation. That customer satisfaction program, 13n03, extended the warranty period to 10 yrs from in-service and 1500 miles. Our vehicle, a 2013 lincoln mks with 110800 mis., is clearly is being affected by the throttle stuck open/closed defect (p2111), and, clearly falls within the extended warranty coverage period. We have tried to get ford to handle our p2111 code problem as it has corrected others it acknowledged and repaired, but ford declined. Ford told us that since nhtsa had not assigned coverage to our vin#, so it cannot come under the program. We are asking that our car be placed in the program and repaired.

My fuel pump driver module which supplies power to the fuel pump stopped working and had to be replaced at 48,222 miles. Luckily, the car was not in driving mode. It would just not start in my driveway. It had to be towed to the lincoln dealership and it was diagnosed that the module located behind the rear seat back failed. That was a $488.64 bill. I now see that this is only covered with the 3.5 turbo mks, however, they are the same vehicles just with the turbo feature. I do feel that my situation is related to the safety recall. The vehicle would crank but the module prevented the electronic fuel pump from working. How can i receive some form of compensation for the repair of $488.64??? that module should not have failed with a vehicle only having 48,222 miles on it. The car is in top pristine condition. I purchased another oem ford unit for a backup if this should occur again. I cannot afford another $500.00 service bill for this issue. I will have my lincoln dealer research the new oem part so that it also will not fail.

My 2013 mks is stalling whiling driving numerous times, almost caused an accident a few days ago.there is a recall on 2013 mksfuel module because it cuts out while driving.however, after calling lincoln i am told that my lincoln mks 2013 is not on the recall list.lincoln refuses to acknowledge that my 2013 mks is experiencing the same issue where engine stall while driving. Because my vin number is not on the recall list.i originally took the car or my mechanic because i needed it looked at right away as it's extremely unsafe.my mechanic alerted me to the recall.i don't understand how lincoln thinks my car does not apply to recall.
My vehicle's fuel pump electronic control module failed and my vehicle would not start. There is a recall for this issue for the same model year, however my vin number is not included in this recall. I paid for and had the fuel pump electronic control module replaced at the lincoln dealership. The date notated below is in reference to when this incident occured.the other issue involves the manufacturer's optional 20 inch wheels. When the vehicle is equipped with these wheels, it causes the adaptive suspension to not work properly, creating a very harsh ride. This harsh ride was not disclosed as a side effect on the manufacturer's website, and it defeats the purpose of having an adaptive suspension system. It also increases the risk of bending the wheels when driving over potholes which is what the adaptive suspension system is advertised to avoid.

While driving the 2013 mks at 70 mph on a 3 lane highway the power cut out and the car began to decelerate. I was able to guide the car from far left lane across 2 additional lanes to shoulder of the road with no power, we coasted. Luckily there was light traffic at the time. The car would not restart and a tow truck was called.when our son picked us up roadside he conveyed that the identical problem happened to him in the car. This was approximately a month earlier.i am sure you understand that this created an extremely unsafe condition for us and other drivers. I have contacted the dealership that sold us the car. *ln
While servicing my lincoln mks with an oil change, i noticed a brownish fluid leaking from my inner front wheel area. I had no idea what that fluid was for, so i googled it and it said it could be from a defective ptu on my awd lincoln mks. At 34,983 miles, i took it to my lincoln dealership for service, and it was in fact a defective ptu. The mks was a certified vehicle so the costly repair was covered under the warranty. However the replacement unit will also fail as ford states that it is lifetime gear fluid and it does not need flushed or changed. The ptu is located directly near the exhaust system and that is what causes the fluid to overheat and to break down causing the gears to fail in the unit. Other countries have actually an adapted version of that ptu with a drain plug for regular flush and fill maintenance but not vehicles in the us. Consumers have made videos of how they have installed their own drain system on the ptu to correct this issue of not being able to drain and replace the degraded and useless fluid in the unit. This is a severe problem that needs handled.

While driving said vehicle into the sun, the installed factory chrome decorative trim shines back into the drivers eyes making it very hard to read the car instruments, the trim area shines like diamonds into the drivers eyes even with sunglasses on in the arizona sun, this also very distracting.european cars are not built with this distraction.the drivers seat ( center ) does not align with the steering wheel, it is offset to the right of center of the wheel by 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch, the seat also rubs very hard against the center counsel, so hard that the seat squeaks as it rubs onto the counsel. The manufacture has failed to address this problem. Seat may also jam at some point with this problem.

A/c randomly goes to highest setting and you can't adjust it or turn it off.typically happens in extreme termperatures (hot and cold).beeping noise as if you are pressing the buttons is continuous.was advised it was a faulty fcim but the part "is on back order" and no one can advise when this part will become available.

For some 4 years now our car has gone into a limp mode while being driven at highway speeds, over bridges, and along dark roadways. The check engine wrench lights up when the car goes into this mode. Unannounced, the sudden and immediate slowing of the car leaves it unsafe to driver, passengers, and others on the road who find themselves behind a fast moving car that suddenly and without notice drastically slows down on its own. It is an uncontrollable unsafe and hazardous creeping condition. The car restarts and drives after being placed in park and shut down. The car then drives normally until the next limp situation. Once the car is turned off and restarted however the check engine wrench clears from display screen, and the code itself clears from the pcm. This has made the intermittent events impossible to catch upon being diagnosed by the dealer. We finally had to drive with our code diagnostic device to try and catch the problem as and when it suddenly arose in traffic. Last week the problem occurred again. We were able to get to the side of the highway and plug in the diagnostic device and pull a single code; dtc p2111. Upon researching the code we found that this unsafe problem as been known to ford for sometime, but we were not in that group of owners who were sent letters explaining the extended warranty program put into place to correct this situation. That customer satisfaction program, 13n03, extended the warranty period to 10 yrs from in-service and 1500 miles. Our vehicle, a 2013 lincoln mks with 110800 mis., is clearly is being affected by the throttle stuck open/closed defect (p2111), and, clearly falls within the extended warranty coverage period. We have tried to get ford to handle our p2111 code problem as it has corrected others it acknowledged and repaired, but ford declined. Ford told us that since nhtsa had not assigned coverage to our vin#, so it cannot come under the program. We are asking that our car be placed in the program and repaired.
While driving (entering) a main street from a service station in miles city,mt. In a heavy downpour, as i passed through the curb/street drainage area, i heard a slight but loud thump like a bird strike but it was raining to hard for that. A block away from the initial turn i entered i-94 east when my wife said that we have a problem as a windshield crack appeared from under the windshield wiper blade on the passenger side, as we drove further down the freeway the crack continued to run towards the center of the windshield, the crack was so bad that the windshield wiper would jump every time it passed over the crack.this was on a sunday & no dealers in the area were open, on monday morning i called lincoln from outside of jamestown, nd about the problem & they directed me to a dealer in fargo,nd to take pictures of the windshield & send directly to lincoln which they did. As we where about 30 miles east of fargo, lincoln called us not to drive any farther and that lincoln would replace the windshield at their cost with no questions asked. I called a dealer that lincoln suggested & they said it would take 2 days to get a windshield from st. Paul. The windshield was only cracked on the outer glass & clouded up on both sides of the crack. We stayed in osakis,mn until 7sept.14, then drove to st. Paul for a window change on 8sept.14 at white bear lincoln in st. Paul.the windshield was replaced on invoice [xxx], customer # [xxx], while this was in progress i asked the dealer service manager if he had ever seen something like & he stated no, not on this new of a lincoln.i have never heard back from lincoln as too why this crack appeared, but i do believe they know why??. I have not had any windshield problems since it was replaced. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

My vehicle's fuel pump electronic control module failed and my vehicle would not start. There is a recall for this issue for the same model year, however my vin number is not included in this recall. I paid for and had the fuel pump electronic control module replaced at the lincoln dealership. The date notated below is in reference to when this incident occured.the other issue involves the manufacturer's optional 20 inch wheels. When the vehicle is equipped with these wheels, it causes the adaptive suspension to not work properly, creating a very harsh ride. This harsh ride was not disclosed as a side effect on the manufacturer's website, and it defeats the purpose of having an adaptive suspension system. It also increases the risk of bending the wheels when driving over potholes which is what the adaptive suspension system is advertised to avoid.
