Tl* the contact owns a 2014 lincoln mkz. the contact stated that the coolant was refilled every week. the contact's son stated that the wrench icon illuminated and disappeared when the coolant was refilled. the contact did not know if there was a leak. the dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was unknown.
While driving down the interstate in my 2014 lincoln mkz 2.0 ecoboost i attempted to match the speed of the fast lane and merge. when accelerating the engine began to shudder almost stall with no power. it was very dangerous.
Purchased this car used (one owner) - have had the car since 9/2017 with no problems. last week (5/04/18) car would not respond to start button. thought it might have been a fluke so disregarded this issue as it did finally start after 5-6 tries. last night (5/12/18) while traveling on a back road (approximately 35 mph) the car shut off totally. loss of steering/brakes. my wife was able to get the car on the shoulder. indicator lights were the amber wrench (powertrain) and a another red square (not sure what symbol). it took approximately 20 minutes before care would restart. taking to dealership on 5/14 and hoping they do not tell me they are unaware of any issues. there are plenty of other owners here that are experiencing this issue. this could be life threatening if we were on the highway!
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 lincoln mkz. while driving approximately 35 mph, the vehicle hesitated to accelerate when the turbo was engaged. the vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the vehicle was functioning as designed. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 27,000.
Car rolls on its own without depressing brake or engaging any gear. vehicle has done this about 5 times in past 6 months and twice in the last 6 weeks. car is very dangerous at "any speed" since it "runs" on its own. ford should rename this mkz hybrid vehicle either: dmd for "driving miss daisy" or uas for "unsafe at zero" puf for "pure unadulterated fiction" ford has lied about car performance (advertised 45 mpg city + highway for both 2013 & 2014 hybrid models) when i only get about 60% of that - 28 mpg (documented) in order to gain market share (hybrids esp. lexus). ford blames its own wind tunnel tests for overstated mpg (maybe tested with hurricane sandy at their back). now, this car drives itself, a nice safety feature huh ? and, ford never issued me any recall on its unique "invisible chauffeur driven" vehicle. *tr
