Tl* the contact owns a 2010 lincoln mkz. the contact stated that the water pump failed causing antifreeze to leak into the oil. as a result of the failure, the engine was damaged and needed to be replaced. the vehicle failure was diagnosed at sioux falls ford (4901 w 26th st, sioux falls, sd 57106 (605) 361-0361). the manufacturer had not been contacted. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 109,670.
I was driving my vehicle on a highway when the car stalled out. i tried repeatedly to re-start but it kept stalling. the car was towed to a lincoln dealership near my home and it was determined that the throttle body and pcm had to be replaced which cost me $2128. at the time of the incident, my car had 91,860 miles. i noticed on the lincoln chat sight that other owners complained about the same problem. i was surprised to learn that this extremely dangerous defect was not under recall. hoping that the ntsb would further investigate. thank you.
