We have classified the 6 complaints from 2011 Lincoln MKX about POWER TRAIN into the following categories.
On i35, driving 70, vehicle suddenly lost acceleration completely and we were able to coast to shoulder, car still running. warning light low oil pressure came on as well as sydtem trans alert. when put in gear would go 10 yards, would quit.
Have owned this 2011 lincoln mkx awd approximately one year. during that time i recall about 4 times during this period, when going from a coasting down the hill mode on surface streets, to placing foot gently on gas pedal as leveling out and or starting up a slight incline, a loud, jerking slam has been heard and felt. enough each time that i thought i had been rammed from behind by another car only to find there was no car behind me. the car would then continue on as if nothing had happened. the most recent time i encountered the "slam" was the evening of wednedday 4/24/19. this was the same situation as previously noted, when going from a coasting mode to driving with foot lightly on accelerator, a loud slamming noise was heard and felt. last friday, 4/26/2019 when driving on a 35 mph zone, it sounded as if something had gotten stuck under the car, sounding like a dragging branch, or a dragging brake caliper. we checked under the car and looked at brakes. backed car up and heard a faint metal sound, then drove forward and heard the dragging sound again. rather than risk driving the car further, had it towed to the dealership where it was diagnosed with a a problem with the power take off/transfer case. it will have to be repaired/replaced as a high cost.
The problem was diagnosed as a failed throttle body, with trouble codes p2111 present in the on-board computer system, indicating the electronic throttle actuator control system was stuck open and closed, respectively.
Shift indicator for park does not light up not allowing to turn car off. have to wiggle to get it to park
My 2011 lincoln mkx has a blown head gasket. one week prior to this diagnosis, my car was evaluated and diagnosed by the lincoln dealership because of an engine light being on. there were no symptoms--only the light was on when the car was on. i had the oil changed by the dealership at this time as well. the diagnosis stated that no problem could be found, but that the light may come back on, and i would need to bring it back for (and pay for) another diagnostic check. the next day, the light came back on, still with no symptoms other than the light being on. i wasn't able to get the lincoln to the dealership right away. exactly one week later, still with no symptoms other than the light being on, i drove the lincoln on a highway close to my home for 5 minutes and it began struggling like it was going to stall. immediately the light "low engine oil pressure" came on. then immediately the car stalled, and i coasted onto the shoulder of the road. there were no other symptoms other than the struggling engine immediately before stalling and the "low engine oil pressure light". i had it towed to the nearest 5-star rated auto repair place, and within a few hours, they called me and diagnosed the lincoln with a blown head gasket. the lead mechanic stated that this was determined by visual inspection of the oil as it had engine coolant mixed with oil. he called it the "classic milkshake look" that is apparent when there is a blown head gasket.
I was driving about 55 to 60 mph, just off highway, while my mkx all of sudden lost all power. the vehicle was still moving, however, stepped on the gas pedal, the car was not gaining any speed. i managed to pull over immediately to avoid rear-ended and shut off the engine. after a few minutes, tried to start the vehicle, it sounded nosier than usual but it seems worked fine. the weather condition is nice and shiny. i was on the road for about 1.5 hours, rush hour with about 30 min bumper to bumper. my mkx is a 2011 model with 51000 miles. i googled this issue and found out "ford motor company (ford) is recalling certain model year 2012-2014 ford edge and lincoln mkx vehicles manufactured september 2, 2010, to november 30, 2013. the ford recall number is 14s10" for the same problem i was experienced. why mkx 2011 model is not included. *tr
