2017 Lincoln MKC SUV FWD

Coolant leaking into the cylinder. Had it serviced at 69.4K miles with a radiator flush and 3,000 miles later the warranty has expired and we have coolant in the cylinder. The fix is an engine replacement, $11K. There is a technical bulletin out so they this is a common problem, however they seem to let the issue go without notification in hopes the warranty's expire.

I had my MKC at the dealership to get an oil change and check for an issue with electrical. They were checking the car and they had to replace all 20 lugnuts because they swelled. I think it's absolutely ridiculous that even the dealers say they have problems with those lug nuts and ford/Lincoln refuses to pay for it! I called who refused to pay for them

When I started my car is was idling low and engine light came on

Now on my 3rd Battery in 3 months. A section in front of the battery gets very hot. It's a section with a lot of thick wires coming together. Most of the time my car will not start, I just have to keep moving wires until I get a connected for the car to start. I expecting the car to start a fire or a battery explosion pretty soon. l researched 2017 Lincoln MKC's and it seems this is a car with a lot of electrical problems. There needs to be some type of recall to redo the battery connections before someone gets hurt. I will print this notice in case of a battery or electrical issue arrives in a casualty so I can sue that this has been reported. Thanks

I purchased my vehicle from Randy Wise Hyundai formly Randy wise Lincoln Auto Mall here in Flint MI on 4350 Lennon Rd 48507 on June 8 2020 is the date i purchased it i only had it for 8 months i am still paying a car note and car insurance on it i am spending countless of money on it i have to pay 7245.00 on a brand new engine as i speak luckily Lincoln Motor co in Dearborn MI is going half i just want to know if i can get refunded my money and the dealership knew of this problem and still was selling these types of vehicle even the service manager informed me that this is common for these types of vehicles to have these issues why still sell them to the consumers this has caused me a lot of hardship , Darrell Chisolm Jr.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 LINCOLN MKC. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH ON A MAIN ROAD, A VEHICLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE CUT HER OFF TURNING INTO HER LANE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE MAIN ROAD. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED.THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BONE BRUISES IN HER STERNUM AND DISPLACED RIBS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVABLE AND WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACTS HOME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000. *DT*DT

I WAS PULLING AWAY FROM MY HOUSE AFTER BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, AND THE POWER STEERING PRACTICALLY FROZE. I ALMOST HIT MY OTHER CAR THAT WAS PARKED IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. THREE WARNINGS CAME UP ON THE DASH: 1. SERVICE ADVANCETRAC, 2. STEERING ASSIST FAULT SERVICE REQUIRED, 3. HILL START ASSIST NOT AVAILABLE. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY LOCAL SERVICE STATION AND HE DIAGNOSED THAT IT WAS THE "ELECTRONICS" IN MY RACK AND PINION. HE ADVISED THAT I TAKE IT TO FORD/LINCOLN, BECAUSE IT MAY, OR SHOULD BE UNDER WARRANTY. I THEN TOWED MY CAR TO THE CLOSEST FORD DEALER THAT I WAS ABLE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH, BECAUSE ALL THE DEALERS IN QUEENS, NY ARE BACKED UP, 4-6 WEEKS. I RECEIVED AN IMMEDIATE RESPONSE: "WE FOUND THE PROBLEM. INTERNAL FAILURE WITH THE ELECTRONIC RACK AND PINION. THAT'S WHY IT IS CAUSING ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS WHILE DRIVING AND HARD STEERING. THE RACK CAN'T COMMUNICATE WITH THE VEHICLE. PARTS AND LABOR WITH AN ALIGNMENT AND DIAGNOSTIC IS $2,106 PLUS TAX. IT'S ELECTRONIC. CAN'T CONTROL AND DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSES IT TO GO BAD. IT IS ONLY COVERED UNDER THE BASIC 3YR./36K MILE WARRANTY. IT'S AN INTERNAL ISSUE WITH THE RACK. IT'S ALL COMPLETE WITH NEW RACK AND ELECTRONIC UNIT BUILT INTO IT. I KNOW IT'S EXPENSIVE. IT'S THE SAME SET UP AS THE FORD EXPLORER. JUST DID ONE THE OTHER DAY. THE PART ALONE IS $1296.00 AND IT TAKES 2 DAYS TO GET. THEY (FORD) KNOW OF IT BUT NO RECALL. PART INCLUDES 1YR./12K WARRANTY PARTS AND LABOR." I AM GETTING THE CAR REPAIRED. I WAS TOLD IT SHOULD BE READY BY TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15TH, 2020.

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2017 MKC DEVELOPED A SLIPPING ISSUE AT AROUND 81000 MILES. THIS OCCURRED FIRST IN THE RANGE OF 25-35 MPH. NOW IT SEEMS TO HAVE BROADENED. HAD THE CAR INSPECTED BY SANDERSON LINCOLN IN PHOENIX, AZ. THEIR INITIAL DETERMINATION WAS A NEW TRANSMISSION OR A REBUILD. COST IS EXCESSIVE. DEALER AND MANUFACTURER NOT WILLING TO REALLY HELP.

2017 LINCOLN MKC. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE COMING TO A STOP THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED OVER A CEMENT BLOCK, INTO A SMALL SIGN, AND OVER A SIDEWALK. THE DEALER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT, COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. *JS

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL SUDDENLY ACCELERATE UNEXPECTEDLY AND ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASIONS I ALMOST CRASHED INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. TOOK THE CAR TO MY MECHANIC AND HE STATED THAT THIS IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE AND LINCOLN IS REPLACING THE ENGINE BUT I CHECKED WITH LINCOLN THEY SAID THERE ARE NO SAFETY RECALLS.... **

THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE POWER

I STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE SYNC SYSTEM WENT THROUGH A RESTART, KILLING THE ENGINE AND TURNING OFF THE DASHBOARD PANELS. IT HAD HAPPENED BEFORE ON A LEVEL SURFACE, BUT THIS TIME I WAS ON A 10-15% GRADE. I STOPPED AGAIN, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND RETURNED ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER. I WAS ON A SLIGHT HILL, WITH THE ELEVATION LOWER IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. I STARTED THE CAR AND STEPPED COMPLETELY OUT WITHIN 10-15 SECONDS. I STEPPED OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE, WHICH HAD BEEN RUNNING FOR 10-15 SECONDS. THE HATCH WAS OPEN AND TWO FRIENDS BEHIND COULD CLEARLY SEE THROUGH THE VEHICLE, TO KNOW THAT I DIDN'T TOUCH THE PUSH BUTTON TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE STARTED ROLLING DOWN THE HILL. I JUMPED IN, BUT THE BRAKES DIDN'T WORK AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS DARK. IT STOPPED ROLLING WHEN IT COLLIDED AGAINST A PARKED TRUCK APPROXIMATELY 50 FEET IN FRONT. THE ENGINE WAS OFF WHEN IT STOPPED. I THINK THE RECYCLE OF THE SYNC SYSTEM CAUSED AN INTERMITTENT MALFUNCTION OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, CAUSING THE BRAKES, STEERING AND PUSHBUTTON TRANSMISSION TO BECOME NON-OPERABLE. THIS RESULTED IN DAMAGE OF $8568 TO MY MKC AND OF $1512 TO THE PARKED TRUCK. SINCE THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT INCIDENT, IT CAN'T BE REPLICATED AT A DEALER EVEN IF IT HAPPENED, IT WOULD BE ON A LEVEL SURFACE AND WOULD NOT ROLL. I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE FOR AN ADDITIONAL 7 MONTHS AND 8,819 MILES. THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 27,474. DURING THAT TIME, THE VEHICLE HAS STARTED AND THEN GONE THROUGH AN ELECTRICAL RECYCLE WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO TURN OFF AT LEAST 5 TIMES. TWO OF THOSE TIMES WERE ON A FLAT SURFACE. I RAN OVER A COONCRETE CURB A MONTH AGO. TONIGHT IT HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY & RAN UP ONTO MY FRONT PORCH, WHICH HAS A STEP UP OF ABOUT 6 INCHES. I CALLED LINCOLN CONCIERGE TO REPORT THE 2ND INCIDENT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULD DO NOTHING UNTIL THE PROBLEM WAS RECREATED IN A GARAGE - OR IT KILLS OR INJURES SOMEONE.

FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM WHEN I HAD NO HEAT BLOWING FROM MY HEATER, (CAR WAS NOT OVERHEATING OR ANYTHING), I CHECKED MY ANTIFREEZE AND IT WAS LOW SO I ADDED IT AND I HAD HEAT IN MY CAR AGAIN. FOUR DAYS LATER, I HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN, NO ANTIFREEZE (AND AGAIN NOTHING SHOWING MY CAR OVERHEATING), ADDED ANTIFREEZE AND HAD HEAT AGAIN. PARKED MY CAR ON A CEMENT DRIVEWAY AND OBSERVED NO ANTIFREEZE LEAKING, BUT THERE WAS A VERY STRONG AND HORRIBLE SMELL OF ANTIFREEZE BURNING COMING FROM MY EXHAUST ALSO, THINK WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE EXHAUST. CAR IS NOW WAITING AT THE FORD DEALER TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG. CAR ONLY HAS 49,852 MILES ON IT.

CAR WAS IN DRIVEWAY. AUTO STOP FEATURE WAS ON. FOOT WAS ON BRAKE, ENGINE STOPPED IDLING. AS I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE RESTARTED AND THE A/C COMPRESSOR ENGAGED AT THE SAME TIME. THE CAR LUNGED FORWARD AND HIT A BRICK COLUMN CAUSING OVER $2000 IN DAMAGE.CAR WAS SERVICED AT DEALER FOR THIS PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AND THE CAR DID NOT "THROW ANY CODES". PROBLEM COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. NOTHING WAS DONE TO THE CAR BY THE DEALER FOR THIS PROBLEM.

5/1/18: SERVICE WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND BALANCE. NOTED THAT ALL 4 WHEELS WERE BENT 11,677 MILES 1 YEAR OLD. 5/6/18 ON TRIP THROUGH CANADA HAD 2 PARELLI CINTURATO P7 TIRES WITH BUBBLES IN THE SIDE WALL REPLACED! 12,113 MILES 5/7/18 IN ROCHESTER NY HAD FLAT TIRE HAD WHEEL REPLACED! 12,236 MILES TIRE/WHEEL COMBO IS UNSAFE AND WERE TOLD BY BOTH DEALERS THAT SERVICED THE TIRES/WHEELS (FORD/ LINCOLN DEALERS) "YOUR LUCKY THESE DIDN'T BLOW WHEN YOU WERE ON THE HIGHWAY" NO ACCOMIDATION FROM LINCOLN. BELIEVE THAT TIRES/WHEELS SHOULD BE REPLACED OR LEASE WAIVED AND ALLOWED TO GET INTO A NEW MODEL WITHOUT PENALTY.

A POPPING SOUND OCCURS IN THE BACK ROOF AREA WHEN THE DOOR IS OPEN "WAKE UP EVENT" AND EVEN WHEN THE TAILGATE IS OPEN. AFTER THE POPPING SOUND, THE WARNING SOUND FOR THE CLOSING TAILGATE DOES NOT SOUND. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR REPAIR 5 TIMES WITHOUT RESOLUTION. SUBWOOFER, LATCH REGULATOR, LATCH AND THE TAILGATE SHOCKS HAVE ALL BEEN REPLACED. THIS OCCURS WITH AUDIO OFF AND WHEN THE CAR IS OFF UPON ENTERING THE CAR. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORT SINCE FIRST OIL CHANGE

I RECENTLY LEASED A FORD MKC. IT CAME EQUIPPED WITH SIDE VIEW MIRRORS THAT WOULD AUTOMATICALLY FOLD IN WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO AN OBJECT WHERE YOU COULD GET CLOSER FOR CONVIENENCE. A GOOD EXAMPLE IS WHEN YOU GO THROUGH A CAR WASH AND THE SIDE MIRRORS FORD IN SO THEY DO OT GET DAMAGED DURING THE CAR WASH. IF A PERSON FORGETS TO PRESS THE BOTTON TO HAVE THE MIRRORS SWING BACK OUT SO A PERSON CAN DRIVE SAFELY THAT DOES NOT OCCUR AUTOMATICALLY. IN ESSENSE THOSE MIRRORS ARE CLOSED AND I COULD BE DOING 55 AND NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE SIDE MIRRORS IF I FORGOT. I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD AUTOMATICALLY OPEN BACK UP WHEN THE VEHICLE GETS TO A SPECIFIC SPEED LIKE 20-25 MILES AN HOUR. I HAD A BMW THAT HAD THE SAME O[PTIOON ONLY WHEN IT GOT TO 20 MILES AN HOUR IT AUTOMATICALLY PUT THE SIDEVIEW MIRRORS WHERE THEY NEEDED TO GO. BIG SAFETY ISSUE

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ON THE LINCOLN MKC MALFUNCTION IN THE RAIN. I EXPERIENCED SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE, UNDER FLOOD ADVISORY CONDITIONS, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DID NOT WORK. I TURNED THE CAR ON AND OFF SEVERAL TIMES. I CHANGE THE WIPER AUTOMATION SETTINGS SEVERAL TIMES AND STILL THE WIPERS WOULD NOT WORK. I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY HAZARDOUS ISSUE FOR ANYONE DRIVING A 2017 LINCOLN MKC AND DO NOT BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE TAKEN LIGHTLY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHEN LIVES ARE AT HAND. IN THE ABOVE SET INSTANCE I WAS DRIVING DURING THE DAY WITH RAIN SLEET AND SNOW UNDER FLOOD ADVISORY CONDITIONS.

THE CAR WAS NOT ON. IT WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY OF A RESIDENTIAL HOME. THE LIFT GATE WAS OPEN. THE ARM THAT LIFTS AND SUPPORTS THE LIFT GATE BROKE SUDDENLY. IT SOUNDED LIKE AN EXPLOSION AND A LARGE PRESSURIZED SPRING (GREATER THAN 2 FEET IN LENGTH) PROPELLED FROM THE LIFT GATE ARM. THIS SPRING STRUCK A CHILD IN THE FACE WITH SO MUCH FORCE THAT IT KNOCKED HIM DOWN, WITH CUTS AND BRUISED TO THE CHILD'S FACE (NEAR THE EYES). THE FORCE OF THE SPRING ALSO CAUSED A DAMAGE TO THE BUMPER. IF THIS HAPPENS AGAIN, IT HAS POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SIGNIFICANT BODILY HARM.

WHEN ADULTS ARE IN THE BACK SEAT AND THEY TRY TO GET OUT WHEN THE CAR STOPS, THEIR FEET ARE TRAPPED UNDER THE BACK OF THE FRONT SEAT. THE FRONT SEATS MUST BE MOVED FORWARD TO ALLOW THEM TO REMOVE THEIR FEET.

USB CHARGING AND SNYC CONNECTION STATION AT THE BOTTOM OF CONSOLE CAUGHT FIRE AND WITHIN A COUPLE OF MINUTES THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. BARELY ESCAPED WITH MY LIFE.

THE DECORATIVE SILVER STRIPS ON THE DASHBOARD UNDERNEATH BOTH OF THE DASH AIR VENTS CAUSES A MAJOR REFLECTION IN BOTH THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER SIDE VIEW MIRRORS WHEN DRIVING IN BRIGHT SUNLIGHT. THIS IS A MAJOR DISTRACTION AND IN TRAFFIC COULD CAUSE YOU TO MISS SEEING A VEHICLE BESIDE YOU. THESE STRIPS NEED TO BE REPLACED WITH THE FAUX WOOD LOOK ON SOME OF THE MKC MODELS. CAN'T BELIEVE THEY NEVER NOTICED THIS IN THE DESIGN PROCESS. IS NOTICABLE WHEN PARKED OR IN MOTION. HAPPENS EVERYDAY IF THE SUN IS SHINING
