I was stationary behind a car turning left on hwy 154 s in coweta co, ga, when i was hit from behind by another automobile going approximately 50+ mph. The driver who hit me never applied hisbrakes, which pushed my car into the suv in front of me. The car i was pushed into was shoved 30+ yards down the road. My airbags did not deploy and my driver's side seat broke.

2017 lincoln mkz.consumer writes in regards to computer touch screen malfunction, headlights control switch problems.*ldthe consumer stated within the first month of purchasing the vehicle the touch screen would shut down and reboot itself while driving. The switch that controls the headlights was also faulty.updated 07/10/2017
I went to start my vehicle no power at all.. Weird nothing ever happened like that before. So i get aaa to give me a boost. I get to my destination. Go to get back in my car and leave. Car dead no power at all. Get towed to the dealer. Battery check was good. They couldn't find out the problem. Then the car would get jump started but wouldn't turn off when you press the button only the auxiliary things would power off.the dealer is telling me it's water damage but how? it's garage kept..
Power loss when accelerating hard on the freeway (65mph+).power is significantly reduced, making me a hazard on the road!the vehicle continues to 'limp' until car is turned off and restarted.when i took it to the garage, the valves were found to have major carbon buildup and the #1 cylinder had a cracked spark plug.
Oil pan leak rtv leak.this mkz is leaking up to 1/4 quart of oil a day.
Started have problems with the heat on the car, took it to the ford dealership and was told the engine needed to be replaced. According to tsb 19-2346 it is a known defect with this model of vehicle and they refuse to pay for repair due it being out of warranty.
Purchased cpo with 38k miles on it. A week after owning smoke emitted from exhaust, check engine light came on and car was rough to start, idling hard. Car melted strongly of antifreeze but no visible leaks. Lincoln did inspection and says needs a new engine due to coolant leaking into cylinders and pistons failing. Engine is on backorder for two months. This seems to be a known problem. We are extremely unhappy. Haven't even had the car two weeks before this started happening. We want out of this car!
Vehicle stalls/loses power once fuel reaches below half tank of gas. Ford has issued tsb's on this very issue on many of their other engines, but i've been unable to find a tsb for this issue for my vehicle specifically. Here is the tsb for ford focus's with this issue:ford motor company (ford) is recalling certain 2012-2018 ford focus vehicles with a 2.0l gdi or 2.0l gtdi engine. The canister purge valve (cpv) may malfunction, possibly causing excessive vacuum in fuel vapor management system. Tsb # 18s32.when pressure is being released from the gas tank via the fuel door opening, gas sprays out of the opening and goers stuck/hardened to exterior of car.
While driving in heavy traffic on the interstate attempted to change lanes and accelerate, car suddenly lost power and the "see manual" light illuminated with tool - fortunately was able to coast car off exit ramp safely and pull over, at which point the engine chugged and stalled.first restart "see manual" light still on, sputtered and stalled. Turned off vehicle. 2nd attempt same as 1st. 3rd came on and ran without engine light and seemed to rev up higher than normal, then came back down.no other indications appeared other than "no use of auto brake available"
1) every used miz i test drove had a super hard jerk out of first gear including the one i purchased, i was told it was fine, went to another dealership and was told the transmission clutch was gone, repaired under warranty. 2) gas tank door spring failed, saw its a common problem with ford lincoln vehicles, dealer replaced entire door housing sleeve, not covered under warranty, had to be installed twice after coming out after incorrectly installed. 3) front headlights lens spider web cracking. When purchased i saw small stress cracks at top by hood 3 to 7 months later entire lens/globe housing look like shattered glass but still in tacted, not covered under warranty, now passenger light starting to look the same. Only had the car 13 months. Dealer service rep ask do i drive car alot or drive in the rain, i was shocked. 4) rear trunk tail light across entire back end full of moisture. Not covered under warranty. Every since 2007 this seem to be a common problem with every car i had to poor designed product that consumer have to pay for and shouldn't. It will cost thousands of dollars to replace.

Jerks hard into second gear andjerks when put in reverse in motion.
Vehicle jerks aggressively from park to reverse then reverse to drive at cold start. And from park to drive. Then there is a delay in engagement where there is no movement at all as you sit in the roadway with traffic. No codes displaying after an appointment with dealership and although i provided videos of issue occurring they say they can't duplicate issue and i must come back, weeks later. As soon as i leave issue occurs again.....

I have a 2017 lincoln mkz2.0l 6 speed automatic transmission. The torque converter weld studs. The torque converter is on longer connected to the engine flex plate causing its ability to move. If you look at recall 17s16 it is an expansion of recall 17v427. My car is availablei was driving on a 4 lane highway going about 60mph when car cut off. I was very afraid for my life. But also the life if others when i had no control of my speed. Personal mechanic. I first heard some noise under the car that would come and go, on this day i heard a thump and the vehicle lost its ability to move. Which cause a very dangerous situation,cars where going around my car at speeds of 70 to 80mph. I am lucky to be alive!

Collision mitigating braking does not engage the brakes. When a truck suddenly cut me off, the audible and visual warning indicate object in the wat but no braking occurs. Brake pedal does not pump up (as it does when the radar cruise control slows the car). Can reproduce by following turning vehicle too closely.

With the v6 twin turbo equipped front wheel drive mkz you get an extra trill in addition to the fast accelleration . The torque steer problem is so bad the steering wheel snaps out of your hand and jumps into the on comming lane ! if your looking for an exciting car to drive, this is it !!!!
